완속 모래여과 컬럼의 생물막(schmutzdecke)은 운전 시작 30일 정도에 정상상태에 도달하는 것으로 나타났으며, 생체량과 활성도는 각각 $4.5{\times}10^6\;CFU/g$과 $3.42\;mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$로 나타났다. 정상상태에 도달한 생물 여과층의 박테리아 종 분포는 Pseudomonas sp.가 차지하는 비율이 56%였으며 그 중에서 Pseudomonas fluorescens가 전체비율의 22%를 차지하였다. 운전 시작 30일 후의 용존 유기탄소(dissolved organic carbon, DOC)와 geosmin의 제거율은 각각 27%와 95%로 나타나 최대의 제거율을 나타내었으며, 그 이후에는 DOC와 geosmin의 제거율에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 수온 변화에 따른 DOC와 geosmin의 제거율 변화에서 유입수의 수온이 $5^{\circ}C$일 경우 geosmin과 DOC의 평균 제거율은 각각 62%와 10%로 나타났으나 수온을 $15^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$로 증가시켰을 경우에는 geosmin과 DOC의 평균 제거율이 각각 88%와 25% 및 100%와 42%로 나타났다. 수온 변화에 따른 완속 모래여과 컬럼의 상부 생물막 층에서의 geosmin과 DOC에 대한 생물분해 속도상수(k)는 $1.842{\sim}15.965\;hr^{-1}$와 $0.253{\cdot}1.123\;hr^{-1}$이였고, 상부의 생물막 층이 그 하부 보다 DOC와 geosmin에 대한 생물분해 속도상수가 각각 18~32배 및 20~51배 정도 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Slow sand filtration processes amended with 5 and 10cm GAC layers at top was compared to same process at bottom in a pilot study for humic substances removal. In case of 5cm GAC layer, the process amended at bottom was superior to the process at top in DOC and UV254nm removal and same trends were observed in case of 10cm GAC layer. Head loss developments of the process GAC at bottom were higher than the process GAC at top so that maintenance of the process GAC at top is easier than the process GAC at bottom.

This study was performed to compare finished water quality among three different processes. A detailed assessment of performance was carried out during the five months of operation. Finished water quality was evaluated on the basis of parameters such as Dissolved organic carbon (DOC), $UV_{254}$ absorbance, haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP), geosmin, 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), heterotrophic bacteria and total coliform bacteria. The treatment processes were Process 1 (coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation-sand filtration-ozone-GAC), Process 2 (coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation -microfiltration-ozone-GAC), and Process 3 (coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation- sand filtration-GAC), compared side by side in the pilot testing. Process 2 was found to have better removal efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$ absorbance, HAAFP and heterotrophic bacteria in comparison with process 1 and process 3 under identical conditions. Geosmin, 2-MIB and total coliform bacteria were not detected in finished water from each process.

With a belief of high water quality production and less chemical usage, membrane technology including Microfiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF), and Nanofiltration(NF) is being employed more and more in drinking water treatment process. However, due to higher energy consumption of UF and NF, MF is normally used for drinking water treatment especially in a plant of large scale. In this investigation, performance ofsand filtration and membrane filtration was compared regarding removal of various water quality parameters, such as TOC, DOC, KMnO4 consumption, THMFP, and HAAFP. Two lines of pilot plant have been operated, one of which line is a traditional advanced water treatment process which includes sedimentation, sand filtration, ozonation, and activated carbon, and the other line is an alternative treatment process which includes sedimentation with inclined plate, MF membrane, ozonation, and activated carbon. For the first about 4months of period, MF filtration showed similar or little bit higher performance than sand filtration. However, after about 4month later, sand filtration showed much higher performance in removing all parameters monitored in the investigation. It was found that sand filtration is a better option than MF filtration as far as microbial community is fully activated in sand filter bed.

In this study, three pilot-scale plants with the capacity 30 $m^3$/day were designed and set up to treat reservoir water for the production of drinking water. Three treatment processes were compared in the pilot testing: process 1 (coagulation- flocculation- sedimentationsand filtration- ozone- BAC); process 2 (coagulation- flocculation- sedimentation- microfiltration-ozone- BAC); and process 3 (coagulation- flocculation- sedimentation- sand filtration- GAC). The quality of water has been evaluated on the basis of selected parameters such as turbidity, color, consumption of $KMnO_4$, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP), geosmin and 2-MIB. A detailed assessment of performance was carried out during a five months operation. Process 2 was found to have better removal efficiency of DOC, THMFP, geosmin and 2-MIB than process 1 and process 3 under identical conditions, although the removal rate of color was found to be the same in the three cases.

In Korea, almost every water treatment plant suffers from seasonal problem of algae and turbidity which result from eutrophication and heavy rainfall. To relieve this problem, experimental investigation was performed to study the applicability of a floating-media and sand filter to preliminary water treatment in terms of algae and turbidity removal. Experimental results using pure-cultured algae influent showed that the shape of algae species as well as filtration velocity affects the removal efficiency. From the experiments using natural river water, it was concluded that algae removal is more sensitive to floating-media depth but turbidity more sensitive to sand depth. As the filtration velocity increased, the removal of turbidity decreased but that of algae was not affected. The floating-media and sand filter removed more than 30 % of TP, TN, turbidity, Chl-a and CODcr, and less than 20 % of DOC and $UV_{254}$.

깨끗하고 안전한 수돗물에 대한 소비자들의 욕구가 커짐에 따라 막, 오존, 활성탄 등 다양한 고도처리공정이 정수장에 도입되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고도처리공정의 도입으로 인한 관로 내 잔류염소 감소 및 THM 생성특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 오존, 활성탄, 오존/GAC 공정별 DOC 제거특성과 bottle test를 이용한 잔류염소 감소 및 THM 생성특성을 평가하였다. 모든 처리공정에서 DOC 제거율보다 $UV_{254}$ 유발물질의 제거율이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 오존공정에 의한 DOC 제거율은 기존 모래여과수 대비 약 4%에 불과하였으나, $UV_{254}$는 약 17%로 DOC 제거율보다 훨씬 더 큰 차이를 보였는데, 이는 오존에 의해 소수성 유기물이 친수성 유기물로 변환되었기 때문이다. 오존/GAC 공정이 유기물 제거에 가장 효과적이었으며, 모래여과, 오존, GAC, 그리고 오존/GAC공정을 거친 처리수의 잔류염소 감소계수는 각각 0.0230, 0.0307, 0.0117 그리고 0.0098 $hr^{-1}$ 나타났으며, 190시간 반응 이후 모래여과수는 THM이 81.8 ${\mu}g/L$ 생성된 반면, 오존, GAC, 그리고 오존/GAC의 처리수는 모래여과수에 비해 각각 6.0, 26.2, 30.3% 적게 생성되었다. 결론적으로 고도처리공정에 의해 관로 내 잔류염소의 지속성이 증대되었으며, THM 생성 또한 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

A comprehensive fractionation technique was applied to a set of water samples obtained along drinking water treatment process with ozonation and biological activated carbon (BAC) process to obtain detailed profiles of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and to evaluate the haloacetic acid (HAA) formation potentials of these DOM fractions. The results indicated that coagulation-sedimentation-sand filtration treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophilic fraction (28%), while removal of hydrophobic and transphilic fraction were 57% and 40%, respectively. And ozonation and BAC treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophobic fractions (6%), while removal of hydrophilic and transphilic fractions were 25% and 18%. The haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP)/dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of hydrophilic fraction was the highest along the treatment train and HAAFP/DOC of hydrophilic fraction was higher than hydrophobic and transphilic fraction as 23%~30%, because of better removal for hydrophobic fraction both in concentration and reactivity.

Two step rapid filter system as a pre-treatment for the injected water into aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) in Korea was developed to reduce physical blockage and secure the volume of the injected water. First, single rapid sand filters with three different media sizes (0.4~0.7, 0.7~1.0 and 1.0~1.4 mm) were tested. Only two sizes (0.4~0.7 and 0.7~1.0 mm) satisfied target turbidity, below 1.0 NTU. However, they showed the fast head loss. To prevent the fast head loss and secure the volume of the injected water, a rapid anthracite filter with roughing media size (2.0~3.4 mm) were installed before a single rapid sand filter. As results, both the target turbidity and reduction of head loss were achieved. It was determined that the media size for a rapid sand filter in two step rapid filter system (i.e. a rapid anthracite filter before a rapid sand filter) was 0.7~1.0 mm. In addition, the effects of coagulant doses on the removal of natural organic matter (NOM), which might cause a biological clogging, were preliminarily evaluated, and the values of $UV_{254}$, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and SUVA were interpreted.
