Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for measuring degree of biological contamination in a sea water desalination facility, and is characterized by comprising the following steps of: a) collecting any one selected from a group consisting of raw sea water flowing into the sea water desalination facility, pre-treated water prepared by pre-treating the raw sea water, product water (permeate) produced after the pre-treated water goes through a desalination process and brine; and b) measuring wavelength and strength of a natural phosphor, which is contained in the raw sea water, pre-treated water, product water (permeate) or brine, using a fluorescence spectrophotometer.
