Abstract

This study performed field examinations of a zero discharge and reuse system developed by Hong and Choi(2009). The system installed one of villages located in Hyoryeong-myeon, Gunwee-gun for the experiments. The zero discharge and reuse system consists of anoxic, FES (Ferrous Electricity System), Oxic, Cralifier processes for water treatments. The main feature of the system is to remove phosphorous by using Fe-ionizing module within the FES process. The water purification performances of the system were evaluated, while any defects for using the system were investigated through the field monitoring. It was found that the removal capacities of T-P, T-N, and BOD of the system meet the required water quality with outstanding performance from T-P by obtaining the results of over 90 % removal rates. The efficiency of T-P removal rate of the system found to be greatly influenced by whether using an automatic washing system to the Fe-ionizing module and conducting replacement of iron plate within a proper period.
