Abstract: The present invention relates to a multistage fiber filtering apparatus capable of selectively filtering depending on turbidity of raw water, in which a first filtration mode where the raw water passes through a fiber ball medium, a second filtration mode where the raw water passes through a fiber yarn medium, or a third filtration mode where the raw water passes through both of the fiber yarn medium and the fiber ball medium may be selectively operated.

Abstract: A fiber filtering apparatus includes: an enclosure including an upper box and a lower box communicating with the upper box; a strainer installed in the upper box along a longitudinal direction; a plurality of fiber yarn media configured to be fixed to upper and lower fixing means each coupled to upper and lower parts of the strainer; a plurality of fiber ball media configured to be embedded in the lower box to form a second filtering layer; a first pipe configured to be formed on one side wall on the lower part of the upper box and introduced with raw water during filtration and drain backwashing water during backwashing; and a second pipe formed on one side wall on a lower part of the lower box and drain filtered water during the filtration and introduced with washing water during the backwashing.

Abstract: A plant monitoring method using exergy efficiency is provided. The plant monitoring method includes detecting data associated with chemical exergy and physical exergy of each apparatus or subsystem and obtaining a chemical exergy value and a physical exergy value of each apparatus or subsystem, calculating an exergy efficiency value of each apparatus or subsystem on the basis of the detected data, and identifying a maintenance target which refers to an apparatus or subsystem that needs to be improved in efficiency on the basis of data obtained through the calculating of the exergy efficiency value.
