Abstract
As the total organic carbon (TOC) becomes a new water quality standard as an organic matter (OM) index for public sewage treatment facilities (PSTFs) in Korea from 2021, a comparison study needs to be conducted by examining the correlation between TOC and the existing OM indices (DOC, BOD5, CODMn, CODCr). 500 PSTFs were categorized by process configuration and capacity, and correlation between OM indices in influent and effluent was analyzed. The CODMn/TOC showed higher correlation than other OM indices. This results can be used to basic data for various research associated with TOC.
