Abstract

BAT (Best Available Technology economically achievable) assessment is indispensible to effective management policy of industrial wastewater discharging facilities such as setting effluent limitations guidelines for individual industry based on the wastewater characteristics and treatment efficiency, making effluent limitations guidelines for new sources, and calculation of the reducible amount of emission load conforming to a total emission general plan and enforcement plan. This study reviewed foreign cases of BAT assessment and condition of domestic wastewater discharging facilities, and suggested BAT assessment guideline suitable for the domestic conditions. The major assessment factors and flow are; (1) Identification of pollution source characteristics, (2) Identification and survey on technology, (3) Selection of candidate technology, (4) Assessment of legislation adaptation, (5) Assessment of environmental factor, (6) Assessment of economical acceptability, (7) Total weighting value factor assessment on technological factor, and (8) Total assessment and final BAT selection. The result of this study can be utilized as a major policy data and a base of industrial wastewater management system.

폐수배출시설별 BAT 평가제도는 폐수특성을 고려한 배출시설별 배출허용기준 설정, 오염총량관리기본계획 및 시행계획에 따른 오염부하삭감 가능량 산정, 신규오염물질에 대한 배출허용기준 산정 등 효율적인 산업폐수관리를 위해서 도입할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 외국사례와 국내 폐수배출시설들의 현황 등을 조사하여 국내여건에 적합한 BAT 평가방안을 제시하였다. 본 평가절차의 핵심은 폐수배출시설별 처리시설에 대한 환경인자, 경제적 수용가능성, 기술적 인자 및 경제성 등을 객관성 있고 전문적인 판단이 가능토록 한데 있다. 본 BAT 평가방안은 처리수준에 근거한 폐수배출시설별 배출허용기준마련 및 오염총량관리를 위한 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있으며, 신규오염물질 및 유해오염물질의 배출허용기준 마련 등 정책적${\cdot}$법적 제도개선에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
