Abstract—Mobile water treatment package system comprises an alternative for stable emergency water supply in response to various situations. This study is aimed at developing technologies to ensure mobility by simplifying process configuration and realizing modularization of various process technologies. Based on the various combinations of unit processes, they were presented according to each treatment process, indicating the possibility of achieving the water quality objectives. Water treatment unit processes were established by setting water quality objectives. Four kinds of water treatment process combinations were proposed based on the classification of water treatment unit process into pre-treatment or primary treatment (filtration using PCF, MF, RO), and post-treatment (filtration process using AC and disinfection process using UV). Each process combination was made to ensure the processing capacity of 30 m3/day. In addition, a mobile water treatment package system was manufactured using two 20ft containers compliant with IOS standards for increased mobility. In this study, the removal efficiency and power consumption of each process combination was assessed by installing a mobile water treatment package system. Based on the operation results of the mobile water treatment package system, reviews are being made on advancing the module to maximize performance of the mobile water treatment package system.
