ops analytical methods for CECs and has established
a database for CEC concentration in raw water. The
Korea Water Resources Corporation has established a
database of source water quality and develops tools for
water treatment processes optimized for source water.
In addition, the company develops retrofitting technol-
ogy for the conventional water treatment process.
GS E&C and nine other companies develop tech-
nology for the design, construction and operation of
intelligent integrated waterworks systems using IT-ET
integrated processes from source water to the tap. Test
beds with a capacity of 1,000-5,000 m

per day have
been constructed at eight waterworks in six of Korea’s
local governments to develop advanced water treatment
systems based on the membrane-AOP hybrid processes.
cooperation is expected to lead Korean water companies to the
global water market.
Woongjin Chemical and Cheil Industries develop microfiltration
and ultrafiltration membranes and modules with high porosity, high
strength, low energy consumption and resistance to fouling. Econity
develops membranes and modules optimized for highly concen-
trated backwash water treatment. Keimyung University develops
next-generation membrane for water treatment using nanofibres and
graphemes. Daelim Industrial, the Waterworks Research Institute
of the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Korea Institute of
Construction Technology (KICT) develop highly efficient, low-
energy membrane-advanced oxidation process (AOP) hybrid water
purification systems in response to the issue of constituents of
emerging concerns (CECs) in water. In particular, the Waterworks
Research Institute of the Seoul Metropolitan Government devel-
