BAC 공정 운전초기부터 부착 박테리아들의 생체량이 정상상태(steady-state)에 도달한 이후까지 $BDOC_{total/rapid/slow}$ 제거율의 변화와 DGGE와 ATP 분석을 통하여 부착 박테리아들의 군집과 생체량을 평가하였다. 용존 유기물질 제거율 평가에 따른 BAC 공정의 정상상태 도달 여부 평가결과를 보면 DOC의 경우 운전 bed volume 27,500 부근에서 BAC 공정이 정상상태에 도달하였고, $BDOC_{rapid}$와 $BDOC_{total/slow}$의 경우는 각각 운전 bed volume 15,000 부근과 32,000 부근에서 정상상태에 도달하였다. BAC 공정의 운전기간 증가에 따른 HPC 및 ATP 농도 분석을 통한 부착 박테리아들의 생체량 평가결과 bed volume 22,500 이후로 거의 일정한 생체량을 유지하였으며, 이 때 HPC와 ATP 농도는 각각 $3.3{\times}10^8$ cells/g 및 $2.14{\mu}g/g$ 정도로 나타났다. DGGE를 이용하여 운전기간 증가에 따른 BAC 부착 박테리아들의 군집분석 결과 운전초기(bed volume 8,916)의 경우 분석가능한 DGGE band 개수가 5개였으나 운전기간 증가에 따라 분석가능한 DGGE band 개수는 최대 11개로 증가하였다. 또한, DGGE를 이용한 박테리아 군집분석 결과 BAC 운전기간의 증가에 따라 다양한 박테리아 그룹들이 존재하였고, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Acinetobacteria와 유사한 uncultured bacterium, uncultured Novosphingobium sp. 및 Flavobacterium frigidarium은 운전초기 단계부터 지속적으로 부착 박테리아 군집을 형성하였고, 전체적으로 Proteobacteria 그룹이 비교적 높은 비율로 우점하였다.

This study evaluated the effect of factors influencing the initial biofilm formation in drinking water distribution pipe by running experiments using a $2^{4-1}$ fractional factorial experimental design with a replicate. Important variables used for assessing biofilm formation included BDOC(biodegradable dissolved organic carbon), viable heterotrophic bacteria present in drinking water, water temperature, and shear stress at two levels each. Based on the statistical analysis of biofilm levels measured as attached HPC(heterotrophic plate count) and community-level assay, the main factors that have significant effects on biofilm formation were found to be viable heterotrophic bacteria and BDOC. Water temperature only exhibited significant effect on the levels of attached HPC, while shear stress was not a significant factor under given conditions. Moreover, the statistical analysis revealed that interactions between the important variables were not statistically significant at a 0.05 significance level.

The objective of this study was to clarify the characteristics of the removed micropollutant since the breakthrough of adsorption ability was occurred in biological activated carbon(BAC) process. The removal efficiency of DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) was 36 % in the breakthrough of BAC occurred by NOM (Natural Organic Matter). The most of removal DOC was found out the adsorbable and biodegradable DOC (A&BDOC). But it was not clear to remove by any mechanism because A&BDOC have simultaneously the adsorption of activated carbon and biodegradation by microorganism in BAC. The removal of bromophenol was examined with BAC and rapid sand filter, for investigation of DOC removal mechanism in the breakthrough of BAC. In this experiment, BAC filter has been operated for 20 months for the treatment of reservoir water. The BAC filter was already exhausted by NOM. Bromophenol, adsorbable and refractory matter, was completely removed by BAC filter. Therefore, it might be removed by the adsorption in BAC. Adsorption isotherms of bromophenol were compared to two BACs which was preloaded with 500 daltons and 3,000 daltons of NOM. BAC preloaded with 3,000 daltons of NOM was not decreased to the adsorbability of bromophenol but BAC preloaded with 500 daltons of NOM was greatly decreased to it. These result indicated that NOM of low molecular weight can be removed by adsorption after a long period of operation and the breakthrough by NOM in BAC. Therefore, micropollutants might be removed through adsorption by saturated BAC.
