Abstract
Provided is an aquifer storage and recovery system, in which microbes extracted from an underground aquifer are involved in an assimilable organic carbon (AOC) removal mechanism and applied to an aerobic reactor, and a predetermined portion of assimilable organic carbon in raw water is removed through the aerobic reactor.
Claims9
An aquifer storage and recovery system, comprising:
- a raw water tank which stores raw water;
- an aerobic reactor which receives the raw water from the raw water tank and removes assimilable organic carbon (AOC) and organic matter contained in the raw water through aerobic reaction using microbes extracted from an underground aquifer;
- an aquifer storage and recovery tank which includes a permeable layer and an underground aquifer, the underground aquifer of which is supplied with the raw water filtered by the aerobic reactor through the permeable layer disposed over the underground aquifer, and which produces reclaimed water from the raw water through an aquifer storage and recovery process;
- and
- a treated water tank which is connected to the aquifer storage and recovery tank and receives the reclaimed water from the aquifer storage and recovery tank.
