Abstract

This paper provides a detailed account of pilot testing conducted at South Lake Tahoe (California), the Ddukdo (Seoul) water treatment plant (WTP) and the Bokjung (Seongnam) WTP between February, 2010, and February, 2012. The objectives were first, to characterize the reactions of ozone with hydrogen peroxide (Peroxone) for Han River water following sand filtration, second to determine empirical ozone and hydrogen peroxide doses to remove a taste-and-odor surrogate 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) using an advanced oxidation process (AOP) configuration and third, to determine the optimum dosing configuration to reduce residual ozone to a safe level at the exit of the process. The testing was performed in a real-time plant environment at both low- and high seasonal water temperatures. Experimental results including ozone decomposition rates were dependent on temperature and pH, consistent with data reported by other researchers. MIB in post-sand-filtration water was spiked to 40-50 ng/L, and in all cases, it was reduced to below the specified target level (7 ng/liter) and typically non-detect (ND). It was demonstrated that Peroxone could achieve both MIB removal and low effluent ozone residual at ozone+hydrogen peroxide doses less than those for ozone alone. An empirical predictive model, suitable for use by design engineers and operating personnel and for incorporation in plant control systems was developed. Due to a significant reduction in the ozone reaction/decomposition at low winter temperatures, results demonstrate the hydrogen peroxide can be "pre-conditioned" in order to increase initial reaction rates and achieve lower ozone residuals. Results also indicate the method, location and composition of hydrogen peroxide injection is critical to successful implementation of Peroxone without using excessive chemicals or degrading performance.

본 논문은 California의 South Lake Tahoe, 서울 뚝섬정수장 그리고 성남 복정정수장에서 2010년 2월에서 2012년 2월까지 수행된 파일럿 실험에 대한 분석결과를 기초로 작성되었다. 본 실험의 목적은 첫째, 한강을 원수로 하는 모래여과 처리수에 대한 오존 및 과산화수소(Peroxone)의 반응특성을 파악하고, 둘째는 AOP(고도산화공정)을 통해 맛 냄새 유발물질인 2-methylisoborneol(MIB)를 제거하기위한 경험적인 오존 및 과산화수소의 투입량을 결정하고자 하였다. 또한 셋째로, 처리공정이후 인체에 안전한 잔류오존농도로 감소시키기 위한 최적 투입량을 결정하고자 하였다. 본 실험은 계절의 기온변화에 따라 저수온 및 고수온의 조건하에서 실시간으로 수행되었다. 본 실험을 통해 오존의 분해속도는 온도와 pH에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 다른 연구결과와 일치한다. 원수로 모래여과수에 MIB를 40~50ng/L의 농도로 투입하였으며, 모든 경우에서 7ng/L 이하로 처리되었으며 대부분의 경우에서 검출(ND)되지 않았다. Peroxone은 MIB을 제거할 뿐아니라 오존을 단독으로 사용한 경우보다 오존+과산화수소 동시에 투입한 경우에 잔류오존농도가 더 낮았다. 저수온에서 상당량의 오존이 반응 및 분해를 통해 감소된다. 본 실험을 통해 "Pre-Conditioned" 과산화수소를 적용함으로써 초기 반응율을 향상시키고 잔류오존농도를 낮출 수 있었으며, 약품의 과투입 및 효율저하를 방지하는 과산화수소의 투입 위치 및 구성 그리고 투입방법을 제시하였다.
