As the issue of microplastics (MPs) detection in tap water was raised in other countries in 2017, monitoring of MPs in drinking and source water, and sewage treatment plant (STP) effluents was initiated. This study intends to look into other studies on MPs in STPs at home and abroad, and review the characteristics of MPs and their removal efficiencies in the STPs, the risk and effect of MPs on watersheds, and management practices in order to help better understand MPs in STPs. To manage MPs effectively in STPs, it is necessary to investigate the detection of MPs discharged from STPs, do research on human health risk and control measures, and build a monitoring system including standardized analytical methods.

원활한 용수공급과 정수장의 효율적이고 경제적인 설계 유지 관리를 위해서 한강수계에 위치하고 있는 두 광역정수장의 원수탁도와 수문자료간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 광역정수장의 취수원인 댐의 유입유량, 방류량, 강우를 수문자료로서 활용하였으며, 상관관계 분석을 위해서는 상관분석과 주성분분석 기법을 이용하였다. 또한, 탁도변화를 예측할 수 있는 회귀식을 제안하여 탁도 변화 예측을 수행하였다. 충주정수장의 원수탁도는 충주댐의 방류량(0.708)과 와부정수장의 원수탁도는 팔당댐의 유입량(0.805)과 높은 상관성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 상관성이 높은 시계열자료를 이용하여 제안한 회귀식의 탁도 예측치는 상수도시설기준에서 제시하고 있는 원수탁도 산정방법을 이용한 경우와 유사한 결과를 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 장래의 원수탁도를 예측하여 추가적인 정수장 건설 및 기존 정수장의 효율적인 유지 관리를 위한 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Ultrafiltration is an emerging technology for drinking water treatment because it produces better water quality as compared with conventional treatment systems. More recently, the combination of UF technology with other processes in order to improve its performance has been observed. These associations aim to maximize the contaminants removal and reduce membrane fouling. The operational performance of contaminants removal and water production of two UF pilot plants was compared. The first plant (Guarapiranga) was fed with raw water and the second plant (ABV) with pre-treated water by the coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation processes at Alto da Boa Vista WTP (Sao Paulo, Brazil). Both units operated continuously for approximately 2,500 hours, from September/2009 to January/2010. The results showed that the ABV UF pilot plant was able to operate at higher specific fluxes (6.2 $L.d^{-1}.m^{-2}.kPa^{-1}$ @ $25^{\circ}C$) than Guarapiranga (3.1 $L.d^{-1}.m^{-2}.kPa^{-1}$ @ $25^{\circ}C$). However, the number of chemical cleanings conducted in both pilot units during the considered operation period was the same (4 chemical cleanings for each plant), which shows that the pre-treatment reduced the membrane fouling. The water quality at ABV for all the variables analyzed was better, but the feed water quality was also better due to pretreatment. The rejection values for the different contaminants were higher at Guarapiranga mainly because of a pollution load reduction after pre-treatment at ABV. Even with the better performance of the ABV UF pilot plant, it is necessary to take into consideration the complexity of the complete treatment system, and also the costs involved in the construction and operation of a full-scale treatment unit.

The operation of flocculation process and the evaluation thereof have been mainly based on G, t and $G{\times}t$ values which are available from design guidelines and texts. However, their suggested ranges are too wide to find the optimum condition specific to a particular water treatment plant and none of the existing method can be used to evaluate and suggest the optimum operational condition. Recently, a commercially available particle counter is found to be useful in determining the flocculation process based on the particle dynamics. The optimum condition is defined as one that best suits the purpose of flocculation; the number of small particles should decrease, while that of large particles should increase. The experiments were performed at two conventional water treatment plants in Korea, one with horizontal mechanical flocculators, and another with vertical type mechanical flocculators. In this paper, experiences to evaluate the flocculation process and to suggest the optimum operation condition will be presented. Although particle counting method is found to be beneficial compared to any other existing methods, the optimum condition is very much site-specific and should be evaluated at each water treatment plant for different conditions.

The low nutrient environment in drinking water treatment plants and distribution systems cannot to be a good environment for bacterial growth. However, biofilms can be frequently found submerged surface in treatment plants and distribution system. Biofilms in distribution system are harmful, in that they can release organisms, and may cause problems in taste and odor of water. Control of these Biofilms is difficult, and disinfection alone is usually ineffective. Biofilms will not be eliminated from distribution systems by any contemporary technology available now or in the future. Therefore reduction of organic matter, improved disinfection, or a combination of these methods can be useful in controlling distribution system biofilms.

본 연구에서는 소규모 수도시설에서 수질기준을 자주 초과하는 항목으로 지적되고 있는 불소와 질산성질소를 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여, 탄소나노튜브를 이용한 전극을 제작하여 전기흡착 공정에 적용함으로써 두 종류의 무기이온 제거 가능성을 평가하였다. 탄소나노튜브를 활용한 전극을 제작하기 위해 코팅 (coating)법과 소결(sintering)법을 이용하여 전극을 제작하였다. 코팅전극은 바인더의 종류, 소결전극은 소결온도를 변화시켜 각각의 전극을 제작하였다. 제작된 전극을 이용하여 전류밀도 및 반응시간 등을 변화시켜가며 전기흡착 실험을 진행한 결과 유기바인더를 이용해 제작된 전극의 이온제거율은 불소 46%, 질산성질소 99.9%로 무기바인더를 이용하여 제작된 전극보다 제거효율이 우수하였다. 또한 소결하여 제작된 탄소나노튜브 중 $1000^{\circ}C$ 고온에서 제작한 전극은 불소 77%, 질산성질소 87%의 제거율을 보여 $850^{\circ}C$ 저온에서 제작한 전극보다 더 높은 제거효율을 보임을 확인하였다. 적당한 전류밀도 및 반응시간 하에서 모두 먹는 물 수질 기준에 적합한 농도로 처리될 수 있음을 보임으로써, 탄소나노튜브를 활용하여 제작한 전극을 채택한 전기흡착 공정이 소규모 수도시설에 적합한 공정으로 평가받을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The monitoring system for maintaining on-site wastewater treatment plants(Biofilter) was developed. Proposed system applied PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) technique. In process of development, the research against the monitoring parameters which will be able to represent condition and operation of the plants was accomplished. These parameters are ORP(Oxidation-Reduction Potential), Water Level, Pump and Power on/off. Also, to measure, collect, transfer and display these parameters, DMU(Data Measurement Unit), MCU(Main Controller Unit) and Display Board were produced.
