Abstract

Since 1980s, wastewater treatment facilities in Korea have been rapidly expanded by 90 percent as the government invested them continuously. Considering social and environmental factors such as the needs of alternative water resources for water shortages, energy saving and new energy production sources for decrease of greenhouse gases, and the demand for the improvement of the water quality in rivers and lakes, advanced technologies in wastewater treatment are essential in the 21st century. In this aspect, new conceptual technology is systematically combined with the advanced treatment technology such as the control and treatment technology of hazardous and toxic material, customized reusing skill, and energy saving/recovery technology. The new R&D project for advanced technology of wastewater treatment and reuse will focus on these advanced technologies which will improve the water quality and foster the competitiveness in world environmental markets, building a solid foundation particularly in the market of developing countries. The project will be divided up into high quality reusing of wastewater, energy self-sufficiency, and integrated management system. It will be carried out for five years, 2011~2015, as Phase I.

1980년대 이후 국내 하 폐수 처리시설에 대한 지속적인 투자로 하수도 보급률이 90%에 이를 만큼 비약적으로 확충되었다. 21세기 들어 물 부족에 대비한 대체수자원 확보, 기후변화 등 지구환경문제에 대비한 에너지 절감 및 생산, 하천 호소의 지속적인 수질개선 요구 등 사회적 환경적 영향 요소를 감안할 때 더욱 고도화된 선진 하 폐수 처리기술이 필수적이다. 신개념 처리기술은 수질유해물질 및 독성관리기술 등 초고도 처리기술, 맞춤형 재이용기술, 에너지 절감 회수 활용 기술을 유기적으로 조합 연계하는 기술이다. 이러한 선진 처리기술은 국내 수질환경개선은 물론 개도국을 중심으로 급성장세를 보이는 국제 환경시장에서의 경쟁력 확보의 토대가 될 것이므로 글로벌 탑 수준을 지향하는 하 폐수 고도처리 기술개발 사업에서는 상기 기술 분야를 중점 개발하고자 한다. 본 사업단은 방류수 고품질화. 재이용 기술 분야, 에너지자립 분야, 통합관리 분야로 구분, 향후 1단계 5개년(2011-2015) 사업을 본격 추진할 예정이다.
