본 연구에서는 수도관부식방지를 위해 정수공정에 탄산가스와 소석회, 소다회를 주입함으로 pH, 알칼리도, 칼슘경도와 같이 부식에 영향을 미치는 수질을 조절하여 운전하였다. 탄산가스와 소석회는 정수공정 중 응집제주입 이전에, 소다회는 정수공정의 마지막 단계인 BAC 처리 후에 주입하여 정수공정 내의 수질변화에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. pH와 알칼리도는 응집조에서 감소한 후 침전이후 BAC 공정까지 일정하게 되었으며, 칼슘경도는 응집조에서 증가한 후 BAC 공정까지 큰 변화 없이 일정하였다. 연구기간동안 탄산가스와 소석회주입으로 탁도 발생과 DOC 제거율에 미치는 영향은 거의 없었다. 최종처리수의 평균수질은 pH 8.39, 알칼리도 $61.4;mg/L$ as $CaCO_3$, 칼슘경도 59.4 mg/L as $CaCO_3$였고, CCPP 지수는 BAC 처리수보다 평균 29.5 mg/L 상승시켜 CCPP $geq$ 0으로 조절하여 수도관내 부식방지효과를 기대할 수 있었다.
The pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness could be adjusted by $CO_2$, $Ca(OH)_2$, and $Na_2CO_3$ addition in the water treatment process for corrosion protection of the water pipes. This research was performed to investigate the effect on the variation of water quality on the unit process by addition $CO_2$, $Ca(OH)_2$, and $Na_2CO_3$ in water treatment process. Carbon dioxide and lime were added before the coagulation basin and soda ash was added after the BAC process. pH and aklainity were increased at coagulation basin then after the water qualities had sustained similiarly to BAC process. There was no effect on turbidity and DOC removal efficiency during experimental period by addition $CO_2$, $Ca(OH)_2$, and $Na_2CO_3$ solution was added into clear well, the last process for optimum control of CCPP and is used mainly to control pH and alkalinity. In this research, average pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness in treated water were 8.39, 61.4 mg/L as $CaCO_3$, 59.4 mg/L as $CaCO_3$, respectively and CCPP of treated water was higher than 29.5 mg/L to BAC process water, so adjusted water was expected to prevent internal corrosion of water pipe.
