This paper presents the test results of biological aerated filtration(BAF) process to replace activated sludge process by enhancing treated effluent quality and reducing the costs. In BAF process both BOD and SS compounds in wastewater are degraded and removed by biological reaction and filtration. Upflow BAF with expanded polypropylene media and downflow BAF with ceramic media were used to investigate the effects of hydraulic and organic loads on effluent quality. As a result, in BAF processes which has different media, upflow BAF reactor shows 5% higher efficiency than downflow BAF and this phenomena caused by backwashing methods and operational conditions. The results of influence factors analyzed by Factor Analysis Method in BOD and SS treatment efficiency are the size of media, hight of media bed and type of media. The quantitative effects of media size are 5.73% in TBOD, 5.78% in SBOD and 7.65% in TSS, so we confirmed the main factor is media size.

도로변 등에 여과형 강우유출수 처리시설이 많이 이용되고 있으나, 유지관리의 최소화, 성능의 검증 및 최적 조건의 수립이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 강도가 우수하고 성형이 용이한 세라믹 여재를 사용하고, 하단 지지부와 상단의 여과조로 이루어진 상향류식 여과 시스템을 구성하고, SS 제거능과 역세척 조건을 검토하여, 최적 운전 조건을 설정하였다. 여과 선속도 20-40 m/h 조건에서 운전하였을 때, 총 고형물 부하 $30kg/m^2$에 이르는 조건에서도 최대 수두 손실 상승이 3 cm 내외이었으며, SS 처리 효율이 96% 이상으로, 안정적인 운전이 가능하였다. 운전 중의 손실수두와 여재층 공극률은 급수 모델에 의해 모사가 가능하였다. 특히, 하단 지지부에서 일정 입도 이상의 SS가 상당량 제거되어, 여과조에 부하를 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 최적의 역세척 조건을 설정하기 위하여 공기 및 수세척의 시간과 유량, 그리고 정체수 배출 공정의 유무에 따른 영향을 확인하였으며, 실험한 모든 조건에서 만족할 만한 손실수두의 회복을 달성할 수 있었다. 다만, 역세척 직후 SS의 배출을 최소화하기 위해서는 공기세척과 수세척 공정 사이에 정체수 배출 공정의 도입이 효과적인 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구에서 설정한 역세척 조건을 적용하였을 때, SS 부하 $400-450kg/m^2$의 여재층이 성공적으로 세척될 수 있어, 장기운전이 충분히 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Hydrocyclone is widely used in industry, for its simple design, high capacity, low maintenance and low operational cost. The objective of this study is to develop hydrocyclone coagulation and filtration system. The system is made of hydrocyclone ballasted coagulation with polyaluminium chloride silicate (PACS) and upflow filter to treat micro particles in urban storm runoff. Roadside sediment particles (< $200{\mu}m$) was mixed with tap water to make various turbid suspensions to simulate urban storm runoff. The filter cartridge was filled with polyethylene media system and ran 1hr per everyday and total operation time were 8.19hrs and backwashing everyday after end of operation. The operation condition of flowrate was $8.2{\sim}11.9m^3/day$ (mean $10.1m^3/day$) and surface overflow rate (SOR) based on filter surface area was $45.5{\sim}65.9m^3/m^2/day$ (mean $55.7m^3/m^2/day$). The range of PACS dosage concentration was 14.0~31.5 mg/L. As the results of operation, the range of removal efficiency of turbidity, SS were 81.0~95.8% (mean 89.5%) 81.8~99.0% (mean 91.4%), respectively. An increase of filtration basin retention time brought on increased of removal efficiency of turbidity and SS, and increase of SOR brought on decreased of removal efficiency. During the first flush in urban area, storm runoff have an high concentration of SS (200~600 mg/L) and the filtration bed becomes clogged and decreased of removal efficiency. Backwashing begins when the drainage pipe valve at the filtration tank bottom is completely open (backwashing stage 1). Backwashing stage 2 was using air bubbles and water jet washing the media for 5 mins and open the drainage valve. After backwashing stage 1, 2, 61.83~64.04%, 18.53~27.51% of SS loading was discharged from filtration tank, respectively. Discharged SS loading from effluent was 7.12~14.79% and the range of residual SS loading in fliter was 2.26~5.00%. The backwashing effects for turbidity, SS were 89.5%, 91.4%, respectively. The hydrocyclone coagulation and filtration with backwashing system, which came out to solve the problems of the costly exchange filter media, and low efficiency of removing micro particles of filter type nonpoint treatment devices, is considered as an alternative system.

Abundant growth of algae in raw water sources caused by eutrophication brings about significant side effects on water supply, such as taste and order problem, oxygen depletion, toxic material secretion, and filter clogging problem in water treatment process, etc. The purpose of this research is to remove the algae and phosphorus compounds in the Pal-dang reservoir promptly by using the upflow filtration system with coagulant addition. The filter tower consisted of sand media and sieve filter with air back-washing process. By using coagulation and filtration with $132{\mu}m$ pore size filter, about 55% and 70% of algae and phosphorus compounds were removed respectively. The experimental conditions were as follows; head loss of 0.2m, linear velocity of 200m/day, and filtration flux of 1000($L/m^2/day$). In the case of filtration with cartridge type filter of $25{\mu}m$ pore size, the filtration flux was about 7800 LMH, and the removal ratios of COD, SS, T-P, and Chlo-a. were 61%, 99%, 54%, and 98%, respectively. However, high pressure air back-washing process with should be required for the maintenance of such high filtration flux.
