Feng-San Water Treatment Plant (FSWTP) is the major public water supplier for Greater Kaohsiung area. Its raw water mainly come from surface water of Tung-Kang River and is supplemented by ground water pumped from under the bed of Kao-Ping River. In this research,the source waters came from both the raw water of the FSWTP and the effluent from a pilot-scale pack-bed biological nitrification column set up inside the FSWTP. Both waters were sujected to batch ozone oxidation using ozone demand flask. The effect of ozone dosage,bromide concentration, pH value and cotact time on the concentrations of residual ozone,bromate, and other organic surrogate parameters of the ozonated water were studied. The results indicate that: compare to raw water,nitrified water usually has higher residual ozone, lower A254,and also higher bromate concentrations at same ozone dosage,as reducing materials could be removed during the biological nitrification process. High bromide,residual ozone, pH value,and long contact time could facilitate the production of bromate. When both raw water and the nitrified water were subjected to ozonation and subsequent chlorination,the trihalomethanes (THM),haloacetic acids (HAA), and their formation potentials of the treated water of the latter were lower than those of the former. And all the data indicated that THM,HAA,and HAAFP reduced with increasing ozone dosages, except THMFP which could increase at low ozone dosage,and subsequently reduce at higher ozone dosage. Furthermore,higher bromide could not only increase the total amount of halogenated organics,but also the proportion occupied by the brominated species. And THM and THMFP concentrations were found to be increased with increasing pH value.
