In SNG (synthetic natural gas) process by proposed RIST(Research Institute of Industrial Science & Technology)-IAE(Institute for Advanced Engineering) (including three adiabatic reactors and one isothermal reactor), the methanation reaction and water gas shift (WGS) reaction take place simultaneously, and the supply of steam with syngas might control the temperature in catalyst bed and deactivate the catalyst. In this study for development of SNG process, the characteristics of the methanation reaction with a Ni-based catalyst by prepared RIST and using a low $H_2/CO$ mole ratio (including $CO_2$ 22%) are evaluated. The operating conditions ($H_2O/CO$ ratio of the $1^{st}$ adiabatic reactor, operating temperature range of $4^{th}$ isothermal reactor, etc.) were reflected the results from previous studies and in the same condition a pilot scale SNG process is carried out. As a results, the pilot scale SNG process is stable and the CO conversion and $CH_4$ selectivity are 100% and 96.9%, respectively, while the maximum $CH_4$ productivity is $660ml/g_{cat}{\cdot}h$.

Recombinant lipase gene (pYEGA ${\alpha}$ -lip) originated from Bacillus stearothermophillus Ll was overexpressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The lipase gene expression level was compared by controlling a constant specifjc growth rates( ${\mu}$ = 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and $0.1h^{-1}$. Cell g개wth was successfully controlled at the desired rates by feeding rate of glucose and the formation of by-product or accumulation of the glucose was not observed. Above the growth rate of $0.1h^{-1}$. the desired growth rate could not be achieved caused accumulation of by-products(ethanol). The lipase production increased as the specific growth rate decreased. The specific production rate at the lowest specific growth rater(${\mu}$ =0.03) was above 2- folds than the others.

Compost stability represents the state of microbiological activity and measurements of respiration either through $CO_2$ evolution or $O_2$ uptake should provide the best indication of this state. Hog manure amended with sawdust was composted in a pilot-scale reactor vessels using continuous and intermittent aeration for 3 weeks. In this study we evaluated the $CO_2$ respiration rate effect of aeration method on the reduction of $CO_2$ evolution, and investigated the stability of fresh and finished compost for plant growth. The intermittently aerated composting is a practical proposition for a very stable compost making. The $CO_2$ respiration rate in the fresh and finished compost during intermittently aerated composting was maintained from 0.3 to 1.4 and was good for use in horticulture, while the continuously aerated composting was 7 to 23 and needed more time for compost curing.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics and performance of nitrogen and phosphorus removal system, Daewoo Nutrients Removal(DNR) system, and to find out the operating parameter for the system. During the study, $10m^3$ pilot plant was operated for the demonstration experiment and the primary effluent was taken from K domestic sewage treatment plant. The TN in the influent had been removed to approximately 70% through the nitrfication in the oxic tank and the denitrfication in the anoxic tank and the $PO_4-P$ and TP in the influent had been removed to 85% and 83% through anaerobic reaction and oxic reaction. The BOD and SS removal rate were 85 to 95% through the system. As the results, the values of effluent BOD, SS and slouble phosphorus were lower than A/O and $A^2/O$ processes. The SPRR (specific phosphorus release rate) at the anaerobic state of DNR system was ranged from 2.2 to 2.6mg SP/g VSS/h. The nutrient removal efficieny of the DNR system in view of the characteristics of the domestic sewage was higher than the pre-established A/O and $A^2/O$ processes. Finally, we believe that the DNR system was superior to the processes deveolped recently.

The purpose of this research, through kinetic analyses and pilot plant experimentation of biofilm filtration reactor, is to study the theoretical equation of head loss in the Biofilm Reactor. The Head loss in the biofilm reactor has occurred due to the biofilm growth and the adhesion to the media surface and stagnation of upflow air bubble, which have caused the pore spaces to become smaller. On a basis of the head loss theory of sand filtration, therefore, the following equation of head loss for the biofilm reactor was proposed from this research results and proved to be possible to apply the equation for practical design of the biofilm filter. $h={\frac{h_o}{L}}{\int}^L_00.58\exp[-4.5){\sigma}_B)][{\frac{1-{\varepsilon}_o+({\sigma}_B)}{1-{\varepsilon}_o}}]^2{[\frac{{\varepsilon}_o}{{\varepsilon}_o-({{\varepsilon}_B)}}]^3dz$ here ${\sigma}_B=0.130+0.001{\theta}$.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate catalytic performance of a commercial catalyst (Co/$ZrO_2-Al_2O_3$) for the decomposition of perfluorinated chemicals in a pilot scale reactor containing 30 L of catalysts. At a reaction condition of GHSV $1,800h^{-1}$, $T_{95}$ of $SF_6$ was increased from 580 to $610^{\circ}C$ with increasing of $SF_6$ concentration from 1,000 to 10,000 ppm. $T_{95}$ of $SF_6$ in catalytic decomposition was much smaller than that of thermal decomposition ($1,600^{\circ}C$). The 99% conversion of $SF_6$ was maintained for 72 hours a reaction temperature of $650^{\circ}C$. In order to maintain the $SF_6$ conversion more than 99%, it is necessary to operate at a reaction condition of GHSV less than $2,000h^{-1}$. An operating temperature of $710^{\circ}C$ was required to achieve >95% destruction of the $CF_4$, which was much higher than that of catalytic decomposition of $SF_6$.

A simple dual sludge process, called as $KNR^{(R)}$ (Kwon's Nutrient Removal) system, was developed for small sewage treatment. It is a hybrid system that consists of an UMBR (Upflow multi-layer bioreactor) as anaerobic and anoxic reactor with suspended denitrifier and a post aerobic biofilm reactor, filled with pellet-like media, with attached nitrifier. To evaluate the stability and performance of this system for small sewage treatment, the pilot-scale $KNR^{(R)}$ plant with a treatment capacity of $50m^3/d$ was practically applied to the actual sewage treatment plant, which was under retrofit construction during pilot plant operation, with a capacity of $50m^3/d$ in a small rural community. The HRTs of a UMBR and a post aerobic biofilm reactor were about 4.7 h and 7.2 h, respectively. The temperature in the reactor varied from $18.1^{\circ}C$ to $28.1^{\circ}C$. The pilot plant showed stable performance even though the pilot plant had been the severe fluctuation of influent flow rate and BOD/N ratio. During a whole period of this study, average concentrations of $COD_{cr}$, $COD_{Mn}$, $BOD_5$, TN, and TP in the final effluent obtained from this system were 11.0 mg/L, 8.8 mg/L, 4.2 mg/L, 3.5 mg/L, 9.8 mg/L, and 0.87/0.17 mg/L (with/without poly aluminium chloride(PAC)), which corresponded to a removal efficiency of 95.3%, 87.6%, 96.3%, 96.5%, 68.2%, and 55.4/90.3%, respectively. Excess sludge production rates were $0.026kg-DS/m^3$-sewage and 0.220 kg-DS/kg-BOD lower 1.9 to 3.8 times than those in activated sludge based system such as $A_2O$ and Bardenpho.

The pilot system for radioactive liquid laundry waste was developed with treatment capacity, 1ton/hr and set up in the Yong Kwang unit #4. The system is composed of tank module, RO systems and a UV/$H_2O$$_2$photo-oxidation unit. The RO system consists of the BW unit (low-pressure RO for brackish water desalination) and the SW unit (high-pressure RO for seawater desalination). The BW unit possesses 4 RO membranes and it can reduce the feed water volume down to 1/10. This concentrated feed water can be reduced again up to 1/10 in its volume in the SW unit composed of 4 RO membranes. The UV/$H_2O$$_2$ photo-oxidation process unit was used for the detergent degradation. The operation of the pilot system was carried out and verified in its capability through the continuous operation and concentration operation using the actual liquid waste from the power plant. The design criteria and data for industrialization were yielded. The efficiency of the UV/$H_2O$$_2$ photo-oxidation process and the optimum operational procedure were evaluated. The decontamination factors for radioactive cobalt and cesium were measured. This on-site test showed the experimental result in the DF$\geq$300 and volume reduction factor$\geq$100.

The cultivation of C. flavigena KIST 321, capable of utilizing cellulosic resources, was carried out in a 500 L fermentor by the batch process and the productivities of cellulosic SCP have been investigated by establishing the optimal conditions and levels of cellulosic material and others as medium components. The highest yield of the cell mass in the batch process was atttained under tile conditions at 30$^{\circ}C$, pH 7.4, 0.4∼0.6 VVM of aeration and at 130 rpm of agitation. According to the material balance of cellulosic SCP production using tile pretreated rice straw as a carbon source, more than 25 percent of rice straw on the base of drying weight was recovered in the form of cell mass.
