DOI: 10.17613/7rh4g-t6073; DOI: 10.17613/xan07-m7p83 ; ..... ABSTRACT: This is a historical document documenting the flotation technology transfer from the USA to Korea in 1985. Under the co-sponsorship of Krofta Engineering Corporation and a Korea professional association, the Seoul raw water was treated by the Lenox Institute, USA, using dissolved air flotation (DAF), sand filtration and carbon adsorption for simulation of the Lenox Water Treatment Plant (Krofta Sandfloat) in Lenox, Massachusetts, USA. The demonstration testing was successful. The treated water met the US drinking water standards using DAF and filtration. Adsorption is an optional advanced process.
