This study attempts to draw factors for an analysis of the operation effect of a rechlorination facility and autodrain equipment for residual chlorine equalization by installing and operating a rechlorination facility and autodrain equipment in P City and analyzing the practical evaluation method and operation effect. For this purpose, this study selected three indicators for an analysis of the effectiveness of residual chlorine equalization and conducted a comparative analysis before and after the implementation of the residual chlorine equalization. As a result of estimation, (1) the reduction of the residual chlorine concentration range from a water treatment plant to the pipe end was 16.0%; (2) the total reduction of chlorination input was 18.0%; and (3) the reduction of the generation of disinfection by-products was 19.5%. In addition, this achieved enough residual chlorine equalization in the supply process and shows that it could successfully achieve the economic feasibility of investment in equipment and the reduction of the generation of disinfection by-products. Like this, it is judged that the three indicators suggested in this study will be used sufficiently as indicators of an analysis of the effectiveness of residual chlorine equalization according to the operations of the rechlorination facility and autodrain equipment.

최근 국내에서는 관로 노후화 및 다양한 수질사고 발생으로 인해 상수도 분야에 대한 관심이 급증함에 따라, 상수도 서비스에 대한 이용자들의 수질민원 또한 증가하고 있다. 수질민원의 경우 실제 수질오염뿐만 아니라 소독을 위한 잔류염소농도에 대한 불편을 포함하고 있으며, 따라서 사용자에게 공급되는 잔류염소농도를 균등하게 유지하기 위해 재염소 처리와 같은 다양한 노력이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상수관망 내 잔류염소농도 모의를 위해 적용 대상지역의 수질반응계수를 추정하였으며, 수질기준을 만족시키는 동시에 잔류염소농도 균등화를 고려하기 위한 염소 투입 및 재투입 최적화 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 국내 대규모 지방상수도를 대상으로 적용하였으며, 격자탐색법을 통해 다양한 염소 투입/재투입 계획을 비교 분석하고, 공급 잔류염소농도의 적합성 및 균등성을 중심으로 최적화한 결과를 제시하였다.

Three water treatment plants(WTPs) in Jeju island whose source water have different characteristics from those of the mainland of Korea were investigated. Coefficients of bulk water decay($k_b$) of free chlorine at $5^{\circ}C$ for ES, GJ, NW WTPs were $-0.003hr^{-1}$, $-0.002hr^{-1}$ and $-0.001hr^{-1}$ respectively based on bottle tests. To simulate the free chlorine variations in the distribution system using EPANET, ES WTP was chosen. Free chlorine concentrations of several sites were less than the drinking water quality standards(i.e., 0.1 mg/L); E5(0.03 mg/L), E6(0.02 mg/L), W21(0.02 mg/L) and W25(0.03 mg/L). To maintain more than 0.1 mg/L of free chlorine in the distribution system, at least 1.9 mg/L of chlorine was needed at the WTP, which suggested rechlorination was needed to supply palatable tap water to customers. Two sites, one that diverged into E5 and E6 in the east-line and another located before E21 in the west-line were selected for the appropriate rechlorination locations. The recommended rechlorination dosages were 0.42 mg/L for the east and 0.27 mg/L for the west. The simulated results indicated that the free chlorine could be reduced to 0.4 mg/L at the WTP with rechlorination, and taps with excessive free chlorine could be more stabilized(i.e., 0.1~0.4 mg/L).
