3가지 재질의 생물활성탄 부착 박테리아들을 부리 동정한 결과 총 9종류의 부착 박테리아가 동정되었다. Pseudomonas 속이 차지하는 비율이 평균 56.5%로 나타나 가장 높은 우점비율을 나타내었고, 다음으로 Pasteurella속 18.9%, Chryseomonas 속 4.0%, Agrobacterium속 3.5%, Aeromonas속 2.0% 순으로 검출되었다. 순수 분리된 9종의 박테리아들의 성장곡선을 조사한 결과 24~96시간 내에 최대의 생체량을 나타내어 geosmin을 유기탄소원으로 활용하는 능력이 뛰어난 것으로 조사되었다. $4^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$의 운전조건에서 geosmin에 대한 생분해능을 조사한 결과 Pseudomonas vesicularis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Agrobacterium radiobacter 및 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 등이 뛰어난 생분해율을 나타낸 반면 Chryseomonas luteola, Spingomonas paucimobilis, Spirillum spp. 등은 비교적 낮은 geosmin 생분해능을 나타내었다. Geosmin의 생분해능은 수온이 $4^{\circ}C$일 경우 생분해율 속도상수가 $0.00006{\sim}0.00020\;hr^{-1}$의 범위에서 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 $0.0043{\sim}0.0046\;hr^{-1}$의 범위로 나타나 수온 상승에 따라 큰 폭으로 증가하였으며, 또한 투입된 geosmin의 농도가 10~10,000 ng/L로 증가할수록 생분해율 속도상수도 $0.0003{\sim}0.0882\;hr{-1}$로 증가하였다.

정체수역에서는 자연적 흐름의 차단으로 인해 자정능력이 떨어지며, 영양염류의 축적으로 인해 부영양화와 같은 문제점이 발생한다. 또한 비점오염물질의 유입은 정체수역 내 난분해성 물질을 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 정체수역의 수질개선을 위해 무산소조, 호기1조, 호기2조로 구성된 장치형 상향류 활성탄 생물막 반응기를 도입하여 정체수의 연속적 순환에 따른 오염물질 농도의 변화를 모니터링 하였다. 정체수역을 모사하기 위하여 $2m^3$의 저장탱크에 유원지의 호소수를 저장하였으며, 수질개선을 위한 최적 유입 유량을 산출하기 위하여 HRT가 6 hr, 4 hr, 2 hr 가 되도록 호소수의 유입 유량을 변화시켰다. 이 가운데 HRT 4 hr에서 SS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, TN, TP의 제거 효율이 각각 69.8, 83.0, 91.3, 74.1, 74.7, 88.9%로 가장 좋은 수질 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이에 HRT를 4 hr로 고정하고 골프장 연못수를 운전했을 때 SS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$ TN, TP의 제거 효율이 각각 78.5, 78.0, 80.2, 74.9, 55.6, 97.5% 달성되었다. 각 조건에서의 미생물 군집 변화를 PCR-DGGE를 사용하여 분석 결과, 유입수를 골프장 연못수로 교체함에 따라 미생물 군집에 변화가 나타났다. 또한 FISH에 의해 유입 유량 변화에 따른 질산화 미생물량의 변화를 관찰한 결과, HRT 4 hr의 조건에서 질산화 미생물이 가장 우점화됨을 알 수 있었다. 미생물량 및 INT-DHA를 이용한 미생물 활성도 실험 결과, HRT를 낮게 유지하였을 때에도 감소되지 않았다. 따라서 상향류 활성탄 생물막 공정을 정체 수역의 효과적인 수질 개선에 충분히 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The biofilms on pipe walls in water distribution systems are of interest since they can lead to chlorine demand, coliform growth, pipe corrosion, and water taste and odor problems. As such, the study described in this paper is part of an AWWARF and Tampa Bay Water tailored collaboration project to determine the effect of blending different source waters on the water quality in various distribution systems. The project was based on 18 independent pilot distribution systems (PDS), each being fed by a different water blend (7 finished waters blended in different proportions). The source waters compared were groundwater, surface water, and brackish water, which were treated in a variety of pilot distribution systems, including reverse osmosis (RO) (desalination), both membrane and chemical softening, and ozonation-biological activated carbon (BAC), resulting in a total of 7 different finished waters. The observations from this study consistently demonstrated that unlined ductile iron was more heavily colonized by a biomass than galvanized steel, lined ductile iron, and PVC (in that order) and that the fixed biomass accumulation was more influenced by the nature of the supporting material than by the water quality (including the secondary residual levels). However, although the bulk liquid water cultivable bacterial counts (i.e. heterotrophic plate counts or HPCs) did not increase with a greater biofilm accumulation, the results also suggested that high HPCs corresponded to a low disinfectant residual more than a high biofilm inventory. Furthermore, temperature was found to affect the biofilms, plus the AOC was important when the residual was between 0.6 and 2.0 mg $Cl_2/l$. An additional aspect of the current study was that the potential of the exoproteolytic activity (PEPA) technique was used along with a traditional so-called destructive technique in which the biofilm was scrapped off the coupon surface, resuspended, and cultivated on an R2A agar. Both techniques indicated similar trends and relative comparisons among the PDSs, yet the culturable biofilm values for the traditional method were several orders of magnitude lower than the PEPA values.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the removal of ammonium nitrogen by biological nitrification in raw water containing LAS using BAC. At batch teats, LAS removal by ozone followed the first order reaction, and the rate constants(k) by ozone dose 1, 3mg/min.L were $0.040min^{-1}$, $0.062min^{-1}$ respectively. Therefore, the more ozone was dosed, the higher LAS was removed The reaction between ozone and ammonium nitrogen also followed the first order, and rate constants(k) at pH7,8 and 9 were $8.9{\times}10^{-4}min-1$, $3.8{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}$, and $2.9{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ respectively at ozone dose of 3mg/min.L . Therefore, ammonium nitrogen was little removed by ozone under neutral pH of 7. The continuous flow apparatus had four sets composed of a ozone contacter and a GAC column. Through continuous filtration test for 50days, the following conclusions were derived; (1) LAS was removed 23%, 30% respectively by ozone dose 1, 3mg/L, and was not detected in all column effluents during the period of experiment. Therefore, it appeared that adsorption capacities of each column still remained. (2) Ammonium nitrogen concentration after ozone contact varied little in raw Water because pH of raw water was from 6 to 7, and was transfered to nitrite and nitrate within GAC columns as the result of staged nitrification. After 30days, nitrite was not detected in all column effluents due to biological equilbrium between nitro semonas and nitrobacter Average removals of ammonium nitrogen in each column after the lapse of 30days were the following; ${\cdot}$ column A (ozone dose 3mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): about 100% ${\cdot}$ column B (ozone dose 1mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): 91% ${\cdot}$ column C (ozone dose 3mg/L, EBCT 14.2min): about 100% ${\cdot}$ column D (ozone dose 0mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): 53% Though column A and C reached nitrification of about 100%, column C (longer EBCT than column A) was more stable than column A. (3) After backwash, nitrification reached steady state within 5 to 8 hours. Therefore, nitrification was not greatly affected by backwash. (4) According to the nitrification capacity in depth of column A, C, where 100% nitrification occured. LAS was removed within 20cm, while ammonium nitrogen required more depth to be removed by nitrification.
