ABSTRACT

Water treatment system filled with Bio-stone Ball (BSB) have been developed for the purification of polluted water in many rivers and lakes. The real-scale plants of BSB water treatment system was constructed for field application test and water purification evaluation in Maewha reservoir. The average water purification efficiencies of BSB watertreatment system shows BOD 70.3% (47.2~97.4%), COD 45.3% (26.1~64.7%), TOC 19.2% (8.5~50.0%), SS 82.8% (73.1~92.7%), Chl-a 80.4% (57.2~91.8%), TN 23.2% (6.4~39.5%), and TP 51.8% (-1.1~80.1%). BSB water treatment system shows very high at 70~80% in the water purification efficiencies of BOD, Chl-a, and SS. The average of pollution loading reduction by installation of BSB treatment system shows 39.2% for COD and 16.8% for TP. The water quality improvement rates (%) of the Maewha reservoir shows TOC 14.5%, COD 14.5%, Chl-a 12.5% and TP 25.1%. The BSB watertreatment system can be applied to many agricultural reservoirs and major rivers to deal with serious water pollution issues.
