Advanced processes such as ozonation or activated carbon filtration (ACF) in water treatment plants have been used in Korea since 1994. At present, seventeen drinking water treatment plants are currently operating. This survey compares the treatment performance of advanced processes in eight plants which have comparable water quality data. The three parameters (DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption) of water quality were selected as an indicator of treatment efficiency. The treatment efficiency of ozonation and ACF processes was found to vary with large deviations in each plant. Treatment efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption by post ozonation ranged from 3 to 11%, 6 to 33%, and 12 to 28% respectively. On the other hand, for ACF, treatment efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption ranged from 7 to 38%, 8 to 48%, and 16 to 66% respectively. These large deviations indicate the advanced processes of water treatment plants to be further optimized.

5 bed sand filter, applying biological oxidation, was designed and studied on the treatment of water works. Never using any coagulant agent (drugs), which may cause water pollution in pre-treatment of head water, the auther attempt a high rate filtration by the microorganism (nitrofication bacteria) end plant which populate in multi layer sand beds. The result are as follows : In order to evaluate the oxygen effect on filtration, oxygen was injected in aeration tank attached to each filter tank while filtration, and $NH_3$ was tested as a representaiive ingredient. It was found out that the aeration method was more effective, with over 33% of $NH_3$ removal capacity, than the anerobic and this 5 bed filter showed double removal capacity of $NH_3$ by comparing with conventional sand bed (2 stage bed). According to the examination of two kind of head water, pre-treated with coagulant agent and activated carton, the filtration capacity was affected by the polluted condition of head water, resulting that lower value of pollution and slower velocity of filtration showed more efficiency of $NH_3$ removal. In this experiment $NH_3$ content tested in treated water had a fairly good correlation with others.
