시화호 인공습지의 오염물질 제거효율을 분석평가하고 수질정화기능의 저하원인을 파악하기 위하여 습지내 16개 지점에서 시공간적 수질분포에 대해 조사하였다. TN을 제외한 오염물질 제거효율은 조성 초기에 비해 낮아졌으며, 계절변동 또한 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히 BOD와 TP의 평균 제거효율이 각각 12.3%, -44.5%로 낮고, TN과 SS에 비해 계절변동이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 월평균 BOD의 제거효율은 습지 하류부에서 식물플랑크톤이 대량 증식하였던 4월과 7월에 처리효율이 나타나지 않았으며, TP의 경우는 4월부터 8월까지 제거효율이 지속적으로 감소하였으며 수온이 가장 높았던 8월에 -291%를 나타냈다. 폐쇄수역에서 SS 농도분포는 좌안과 우안에 비해 중앙지점에서 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 ANOVA test로부터 수평적으로 유의적인 차이(p = 0.013, 중앙 > 좌안 > 우안)를 보였다. 시화호 인공습지에서 오염물질 제거효율의 저하원인은 과도한 유기물 생산에 의한 습지의 혐기성환경과 이에 따른 습지 하류부에서 용출된 인과 대량 증식한 식물플랑크톤이 균등하지 못한 물 흐름에 의해 식생대를 거치지 않고 유출되었기 때문으로 유추된다.

Advanced processes such as ozonation or activated carbon filtration (ACF) in water treatment plants have been used in Korea since 1994. At present, seventeen drinking water treatment plants are currently operating. This survey compares the treatment performance of advanced processes in eight plants which have comparable water quality data. The three parameters (DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption) of water quality were selected as an indicator of treatment efficiency. The treatment efficiency of ozonation and ACF processes was found to vary with large deviations in each plant. Treatment efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption by post ozonation ranged from 3 to 11%, 6 to 33%, and 12 to 28% respectively. On the other hand, for ACF, treatment efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption ranged from 7 to 38%, 8 to 48%, and 16 to 66% respectively. These large deviations indicate the advanced processes of water treatment plants to be further optimized.

The Samcheonpo ocean small hydropower plant (SHP) has a special feature of using marginal hydraulic head of circulating water system of fossil fuel power plant as a power source and having the characteristics of general hydropower generation and tidal power generation as well. Also, it contributes to reducing green house gases and developing clean energy source by recycling circulating water energy otherwise dissipated into the ocean. The efficiency of small hydropower plant is directly affected by effective head and flow rate of discharged water. Therefore, the efficiency characteristics of ocean hydropower plant are analyzed with the variation of water level and flow rate of discharged water, which is based on the accumulated operation data of the Samcheonpo hydropower plant. After the start of small hydropower plant operation, definite rise of water level was observed. As a result of flow pattern change from free flow to submerged flow, the instability of water surface in overall open channel is increased but it doesn't reach the extent of overflowing channel or having an effect on circulation system. Performance evaluation result shows that the generating power and efficiency of small hydropower exceeds design requirements in all conditions. Analysis results of CWP's water flow rate verify that the amount of flowing water is measured less and the highest efficiency of small hydropower plant is achieved when the effective head has its maximum value. In conclusion, efficiency curve derived from water flow rate considering tidal level shows the best fitting result with design criteria curve and it is verified that overall efficiency of hydropower system is satisfactory.

A method to improve water treatment efficiency by coagulant overdosing for high pH raw water at a drinking water treatment plant (WTP) which had no pH adjusting facilities was investigated. Poly aluminum chloride (PACl) was used for coagulant, and turbidity removal efficiency was evaluated as a function of PACl dosage increases. pH and turbidity of supernatant of jar-tester were 7.10 and 0.50 NTU respectively, when the turbidity, pH, alkalinity, water temperature, conductivity of raw water were 1.75 NTU, 9.38, 46.5 mg/L, $6.4^{\circ}C$, $400{\mu}s/cm$, respectively. Turbidity of settled water was reduced from 2.18 NTU to 0.28 NTU (87% reduction) when PACl dosage was increased from 16 mg/L to 45 mg/L at a full scale WTP. This can be attributed to the recovery of coagulant efficiency by pH reduction with the increase of coagulant dose, however coagulation efficiency was reduced with the formation of Al(OH)4- by PACl addition at higher pH. Coagulant overdosing was proven to be a rapid and effective method for high pH raw water, which can be applied at drinking WTP.

The purpose of this study was to analyze water treatment characteristics, including the efficiency of removing algae from water purification plants, by installing a demonstration facility for decontamination of algae, including natural algae remover injection equipment, in the water purification plant. Jar-test showed that the optimum injection of natural decontaminant was 20 mg/L. Of the water contaminant treatment efficiency of the intake and water purification plants, Chl-a averaged 74.0% elimination efficiency from $5.0mg/m^3$ to $1.3mg/m^3$ and the maximum treatment efficiency was 91.5% removal efficiency when the inflow concentration of Chl-a was $11.8mg/m^3$. In addition, 51.2% and 47.1% of the taste and odor indicator items, geosmin and 2-MIB, resulted from the overgrowth and decaying of algae, respectively, to identify toxic substances and odor reduction effects. In addition, elimination efficiencies of SS and Turbidity materials were higher than 70.0%. In the injection of natural algae remover, no effects such as sudden changes in water quality due to secondary reactions were found, and appropriate levels were maintained under water treatment conditions.

본 연구는 우리나라의 1990-2014년 시계열 자료를 활용하여 물 효율성, 경제성장, 전력생산 및 이산화탄소 배출 간의 장 단기 인과관계를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 기존 연구들이 경제성장, 이산화탄소 배출 및 전력 및 에너지에 국한되어 분석을 한 반면 본 연구는 기존 변수들과 더불어 물 효율성과의 관계를 설명하였다는 기여를 가지고 있다. 실증분석결과를 살펴보면, 네 변수들은 단기조정관계를 통해 장기적으로 균형상태에 도달한다는 것과 변수들 간의 인과관계에서 이산화탄소 배출과 경제성장은 물 효율성의 원인이 되고 이산화탄소 배출과 경제성장 및 물 효율성은 전력생산의 원인이 된다는 사실을 발견하였다. 또한 물 효율성에 대한 장기 영향계수 추정결과를 통해 전력생산의 증가와 경제성장 및 이산화탄소 배출의 감소는 물 효율성을 증가시키며, 일정 수준 이상의 경제성장은 물 효율성의 증가속도를 감소시킨다는 경제성장과 물 효율성의 역U자형 관계를 확인하였다.

This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis of heat pump system using water as a heat source and heat sink. The primary object in this study is the optimization of exergetic efficiency. Two different systems, 2-stream and 1-stream system, are analyzed in detail. Mass flow ratio (the ratio of mass flow rate of water through evaporator to that through condenser) is identified as the most important parameter to be optimized. It is shown that there exists an optimum mass flow ratio to maximize exergetic efficiency. The variation of optimum exergetic efficiency of 2-stream system is quite small and the value lies between 0.2∼0.23 for the range of investigation in this study. However, far better performance can be obtained from 1-stream system. This means considerable irreversibilities are generated through condenser of the 2-stream system. The effects of adiabatic efficiency of compressor-motor unit on the overall system performance are also examined in the analysis.

Membrane distillation (MD) is one of the water treatment processes which involves the momentum, heat and mass transfer through channels and membrane. In this study, CFD modeling has been used to simulate the heat and mass transfer in the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Also, the effect of operating parameters on the water flux is investigated. The result shows a good agreement with the experimental result. Results indicated that, while feed temperature is increasing in the feed side, water flux improves in the permeate side. Since higher velocity leads to the higher mixing and turbulence in the feed channel, water flux rises due to this increase in the feed velocity. Moreover, results revealed that temperature polarization coefficient is rising as flow rate (velocity) increases and it is decreasing while the feed temperature increases. Lastly, the thermal efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation is defined, and results confirm that thermal efficiency improves while feed temperature increases. Also, flow rate increment results in enhancement of thermal efficiency.
