본 연구에서는 겨울철 수온강하, 여름철 우천시 표류수 중의 고탁도 물질 및 봄, 가을철의 조류성장 시기 등을 고려하여 기존의 급속모래여과시스템을 이단 이층 복합여과시스템으로 개량하는 기술을 개발하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 본 기술은 기존 여과지의 개량 또는 신설 여과지 설계시 또 다른 부지의 확장 없이 기존 모래여과지를 대체하는 기술로서 하부집수장치 상부에 모래 + 활성탄 층을 두고 활성탄 층 상부에 일정한 간격의 역세 팽창층을 두고 전 처리의 개념으로 중간집수장치 위에 모래층을 두는 이단 이층 복합여과시스템을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 이단이층 복합여과시스템을 경기도 S 정수장에 소규모 파일롯 플랜트를 설치하였으며, 탁도는 INTU 이하로 안정하게 유지되었고, TOC, THMFP, HAAFP는 약 90%정도 제거되어 S정수장에 비해 약 2배 정도 높았으며, 이는 본 시스템의 하단에 충전된 활성탄층에서의 흡착 및 생물분해 효과에 기인된 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to establish acceptable criteria for the design of simple water treatment plant in rural areas. To develop efficient simple water treatment methods for rural areas, water quality in the study areas was investigated and rapid and slow filtrations in pilot-scale were tested under various conditions. The main results of this study are as follows. It was found that the water qualities of the study areas exceed the drinking water standards, which implies that some treatments are required in rural areas. Treatment efficiencies of both rapid sand and dual-media (sand and anthracite) filtration without pre-treatment such as flocculation and sedimentation are very low, which were turned out to be unadequate for the rural areas. Treatment efficiencies of both vertical and horizontal slow filtration without chlorination are very high for consumed $KMnO_4, NH_3-N, NO_3-N$, turbidity, and very low for coliform and bacteria. Treatment efficiencies of both vertical and horizontal slow filtration with chlorination are very high over the most pollutants. A slow filtration with chlorination is efficient for the rural areas. An adequate depth of sand layer is over 60 cm. A horizontal filtration is more economical than a vertical filtration. A horizontal filtration can be operated for a relatively long periods of time without sand washing or replacement because clogging is removed by simple back-washing.

해수담수화 시설에서 전처리와 역삼투막(reverse osmosis, RO) 공정의 유기물 제거특성을 살펴보고, 유기물의 특성변화가 막오염 지수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구에서 비교된 전처리 공정은 다중여재여과(dual media filter, DMF), 가압형 정밀여과(MF), 침지형정밀여과(SMF) 이다. 유기물의 특성변화를 알아보기 위해 원수와 공정별 처리수의 탁도, $UVA_{254}$, DOC, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) 등을 분석하였다. 이온성 물질과 무기물 항목은 전처리 공정의 종류에 관계없이 처리되지 않았고 RO공정을 거치면서 99% 이상 제거되었다. 유기물에 의한 막오염에 큰 영향을 미치는 소수성 유기물은 전처리를 통해 상대적으로 제거가 용이하였다. 전처리 공정의 유기물 제거율은 막여과 공정(MF, SMF)이 기존 DMF 공정에 비해 높았다. 처리수내 유기물의 농도가 감소할수록 막오염지수 중 하나인 silt density index (SDI) 값도 감소하였다. MF로 전처리한 경우 SDI값이 가장 낮게 나타났는데, 처리수 내의 $0.1-0.4{\mu}m$ TEP 농도가 MF와 SMF 막오염지수의 차이와 상관관계를 보였다.

Fluoridation of drinking water to a level of about 0.8mg/l (below 1.5mg/l) for reducing the incidence of tooth decay is recommended. However, concerns about potential problems of unknown effects and overdosing hinders the fluoridation. This study describes the work performed to obtain information on the behavior of fluoride under various conditions in the process of water fluoridation. Effects of water treatment chemicals, water treatment unit, and water distribution on water fluoridation were investigated at both lab and an actual water treatment plant. Residual fluoride concentration was not affected by lime and chlorine dosage up to 20mg/l. Flocculation with PAC slightly decreased the residual fluoride concentration as PAC dosage increased. Average fluoride concentration of 0.87mg/l at an intake basin was decreased to 0.83mg/l by sedimentation, 0.81mg/l by dual media(sand+anthracite) filtration, and 0.79mg/l by granular activated carbon filtration in the water treatment plant.

Sand filter is a key unit process for particle removal in water purification treatments. Its long-standing use is due to on-site customized retrofit. Proper selection of filter media is one of the retrofit approaches to improve filter performance. This study described a series of controlled laboratory column tests and examined the effects of media property on filtration and backwash. When sand media of 0.51 mm in effective size was replaced by sand of 0.60 mm, the filter run increased up to 5 times in the given bed depth. The change of media property required an increase of backwash rate by 0.05 m/min to satisfy the requirement of bed expansion, more than 20%. When the anthracite was changed with lower effective size and uniformity coefficient, correlation with sand in the filter bed could be satisfied within the permissible error between media and bulk characteristics. Besides, this selection resulted in a well-stratified configuration of media layers after bed expansion. The column study showed that the correlation of property between the dual media had a significant effect on the filter productivity and backwash interval.

본 연구는 여재가 모래와 무연탄인 복층 중력식 급속여과법으로 BNR(biological nutrient removal) 공정 유출수를 처리할 때 여과율의 변화에 따른 오염물질 제거효율 및 여층 깊이별 처리수질을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. Pilot scale의 4-stage BNR 공정 유출수를 200, 300 및 400 m/day의 여과율로 급속여과시킨 결과, 처리수는 2.6 NTU 이하의 탁도를 나타내어 우리나라의 중수도 제한수질인 5.0 NTU를 만족하였다. 여과율이 200, 300 및 400 m/day로 증가함에 따라 SS 제거효율은 각각 80.6, 75.4 및 68.9%로 감소하는 경향을 보였지만, 여과수는 모든 여과율에서 유입수의 수질변화에 큰 영향을 받지 않고 평균 1.3 mg/L의 SS 농도를 보였다. 생물학적 작용에 의하여 영양염류도 제거되었는데, 200, 300 및 400 m/day의 여과율에서 질산화효율이 각각 17.4, 18.8 및 14.3%, 그리고 탈질효율이 각각 32.3, 27.7 및 21.4%로, 질산화와 탈질이 동시에 일어났다. 여과주기의 후반기에는 여층 내의 DO가 결핍됨에 따라 인의 재용출이 일어남으로써 유출수의 T-P 농도가 유입수에 비하여 6.1~21.4% 증가하였다.

A cost analysis method for pretreament processes of a large scale seawater desalination plant was considered using a cost estimation model, WaTER (Water Treatment Estimation Routine). This model is based on cost functions of U.S. EPA to conduct economic analysis of water treatment facilities. A virtual seawater desalination plant which has pretreatment production capacity of $100,000m^3$ per day was chosen as a model plant. Dual media filtration and microfiltration systems were compared as pretreatment process, and the following reverse osmosis process was modeled. As a result, microfiltration showed a price competitiveness in condition of operating with reverse osmosis process by reducing the loads of water treatment and membrane cleaning despite it's high annual cost.
