To obtain the experimental data for design and operation of actual filtration processes, a sand filter and three kinds of dual media filters in pilot-plant scale were operated in this study. We analyzed the effect of filter medium composition on the filter performance and the effects of backwash water flow rates, length of stream line and air flow rate on the filter backwash efficiency. We also compared the efficiencies of the combined air-water backwashing and the water backwashing in dual media filters. As the backwash water flow rates or the length of stream line increased, the final turbidity of backwash water was decreased and the filtration duration time after backwash was increased. In the case of the combined air-water backwashing, the backwash water quantity needed for backwashing the dual media filters could be decreased. The total volume of filtered water for the dual media filters during filter run was over three times larger than that for the sand filter. The dual media filters could be operated at a high filtration rate of 360 m/day.

모형실험장치를 이용하여 심층여과지에 대한 여층구성별 여과효율 평가를 통해 여과지 설계시의 여층구성에 대한 기초자료를 제공하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 여과지속시간에 따른 손실수두 발달특성을 보면 여과초기의 수두손실은 이중여재 여과지가 높지만 탁질 억류에 의한 수두손실의 증가는 완만하여 여과속도 180 m/day의 동일한 여과속도를 적용하였을 경우, 조림심층 모래여과지에 비해 단위정수생산량이 30-40% 정도 증대되는 것으로 나타났다. 여과수질은 각각 여과속도 180 m/day, 240 m/day로 운전한 결과 여과속도에 관계없이 모두 0.1 NTU 이하를 나타내어 만족하는 여과수질을 보였다. 그러나 여과초기 탁질 누출 특성을 보면 상대적으로 조립심층 모래여과지의 누출 경향이 크게 나타났고, 여과속도 240 m/day로 증대됨에 따라 그 경향은 보다 뚜렷하게 나타났다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of prechlorination and algae growth on THMs generation. The sample water obtained from Paldang Dam which is a main source of raw water for the Seoul metropolitan area. THMs concentration in the sample water was investigated in water treatment process prechlorifiation, chemical coagulation, and sand filtration. And also, THMs concentration were analyzed in the water which cultured algae in laboratory. The results were as follows 1. The THMs concentration produced by prechlorination unit process were increased in control (not purified) but decreased in process of purification. 2. The THMs concertration can reduce by increasing the number of cleaning filters. 3. The main precursor in raw water for the THMs generation was supplied by algae growth. So as to reduce the THMs concentration in water supplying system, it is the best method to manage algae growth in water body of Paldang reservoir.

정수처리 과정에서 Cryptosporidium과 유사한 특성을 가지고 있는 C. tracer를 이용하여 공정별 제거효율을 조사하였다. PACI(Poly aluminium chloride, $Al_2O_3$(10%)) 주입량이 10 mg/L일 때 C. tracer는 97.16%로 가장 높은 제거율을 보였으며, 탁도 제거율과 SS 제거율이 높을수록 C. tracer 응집 효율이 높았다. 원수의 pH가 높을수록 C. tracer 제거율이 증가 하였으며 응집 침전 후의 유출수 탁도와 C. tracer 제거율과의 상관성이 $R^2=0.9506$로 높게 나타나 응집 침전 후의 유출수 탁도로 Cryptosporidium 제거 효율을 평가할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 여과 실험에서는 유입 탁도에 따른 C. tracer 제거율은 $94.00{\sim}95.83%$ 범위였으며 유출수 탁도와 C. tracer 제거율과의 상관성은 $R^2=0.8704$였다. 최적 응집 조건 하에서 여과수 탁도가 양호할 경우, 예상되는 Cryptosporidium의 제거율은 응집 침전의 경우 1.55 log(97.16%), 급속모래여과의 경우 1.38 log(95.83%), 응집 침전+급속모래여과의 경우 2.31 log(99.51%)로 나타났다.

The application of the membrane filtration process has been increased for the drinking water treatment system because of excellent quality of treated water compared with the sand filtration process. The selection of suitable pre-treatment processes and optimum flux according to the characteristics of raw water are important factors for the design of membrane processes. In this study, the most efficient pre-treatment processes for drinking water was selected by investigating the effects of pre-treatment processes on the operational stability of the membrane filtration process. Both lab-scale and pilot-scale experiments were conducted. In the lab-scale test, the effect of pre-treatment processes on the stability of the membrane filtration process was investigated indirectly by comparing the performance of membrane flux for raw water, pre-treated water, and membrane permeated water. In the pilot-scale test, the usefulness of prefiltration processes was assessed by comparing the performance of single membrane process and hybrid coagulation-membrane process. The results indicated that the coagulation process contributed to the stabilization of trans-membrane pressure (TMP) by removing contaminants on membranes, though the pre-filtration process had little effect on the TMP.

Abundant growth of algae in raw water sources caused by eutrophication brings about significant side effects on water supply, such as taste and order problem, oxygen depletion, toxic material secretion, and filter clogging problem in water treatment process, etc. The purpose of this research is to remove the algae and phosphorus compounds in the Pal-dang reservoir promptly by using the upflow filtration system with coagulant addition. The filter tower consisted of sand media and sieve filter with air back-washing process. By using coagulation and filtration with $132{\mu}m$ pore size filter, about 55% and 70% of algae and phosphorus compounds were removed respectively. The experimental conditions were as follows; head loss of 0.2m, linear velocity of 200m/day, and filtration flux of 1000($L/m^2/day$). In the case of filtration with cartridge type filter of $25{\mu}m$ pore size, the filtration flux was about 7800 LMH, and the removal ratios of COD, SS, T-P, and Chlo-a. were 61%, 99%, 54%, and 98%, respectively. However, high pressure air back-washing process with should be required for the maintenance of such high filtration flux.

MF membrane element was specially designed for water purification and VSA process which can solve the fouling problem. Especially VSA process is developed for the SK Chemicals' asymmetric microfiltration hollow fiber membranes. In case of outside-to-in filtration process, MF membrane element showed the excellent flux stability caused by cleaning ability of VSA process . Simultaneous back-washing with VSA consideratbly enhances cleaning efficiency. From the result the possibility of the replacement of chemical coagulation and sand filtration process with newly developed VSA process was revealed.

In order to quantify removal efficiency of Cryptosporidium in water treatment process and evaluate factors influencing removal efficiency of Cryptosporidium in each step of water treatment process, large pilot plant system ($100m^3/day$) and Cryptracer, surrogate of Cryptosporidium, were used. The removal efficiency of Cryptracer was around 0.8~1 log in coagulation process and 3.3~4.8 log in sand filtration process under ordinary environmental conditions. Factors influenced removal efficiency of Cryptracer were high fluctuate turbidity and water temperature. High fluctuate turbidity made difficult to adjust optimum PAC concentration, caused to drop removal efficiency of coagulation process (0.5 log). Inadequate coagulation process influenced to sand filtration process (2.1 log), caused to decline of removal efficiency in the whole process (2.6 log). Low temperature below $2^{\circ}C$ also influenced coagulation process (0.6 log). Therefore, It is shown that careful attention in the control of Cryptosporidium is needed in flood period, when high fluctuate turbidity would be, and winter period of low temperature.

Pilot-scale experiments were performed for the treatment of bank filtrate contammg high manganese concentration around 2mg/L using rapid manganese sand filtration to investigate effects of oxidant dose and pH control on the removal efficiency of manganese. For theoretical dose ranges of oxidant (sodium hypochlorite) between 3 and 4mg/L, the manganese concentration of effluent was 0.57 mg/L, which corresponded to 72.5% removal and was higher than drinking water quality standards of 0.3mg/L. For excess dose ranges of oxidant between 4 and 8mg/L, the manganese concentration of effluent was reduced to 0.14mg/L, which corresponded to 94.5% removal, but the residual chlorine concentration was over 1.0mg/L. On the other hand, manganese removal efficiency drastically increased up to the value of 98.0%, which is equivalent to the effluent concentration of 0.03mg/L by controling pH to the range between 7 and 8 for the theoretical dose of oxidant. Consequently, these results indicated that appropriate dose of chemicals, such as oxidant and alkali, and continuous monitoring of manganese should be necessary to obtain efficient removal of manganese and to optimize the maintenance of treatment facilities for the treatment of bank filtrate with high concentration of manganese.
