본 연구에서는 막여과공정, 오존접촉공정, 활성탄흡착공정, 자외선소독공정 등이 계층형으로 배치된 정수처리 실증시설의 설계 및 운영을 통해 수직형 정수 처리시설의 최적 설계/운영방안을 도출하고자 하였다.

Analysis of design parameters of residual treatment process at eight model water treatment plants, which were located in the four major watersheds, showed that there were large differences between those design parameters and the actual conditions. In this background, a new procedure was proposed and applied to the Chungju water treatment plant as an example of the optimum design of residual treatment process based on the characteristics of raw water. In this design example, a filter backwash recycle system consisting of a surging tank and sedimentation basin was newly proposed for more safe recycle of spent backwash water. It is expected that the design procedure proposed in this study would be estimated as a meaningful attempt to develope new design procedure for the domestic water industry.
