By supplying air intermittently in various mode, the effects of oxic/anoxic time ratio and air scrubbing in aeration condition on the membrane flux and permeability were investigated. When suction pump stops, vacuum pressure remains inside the suction pump. Therefore, the effect of remaining vacuum pressure in the suction pump on fouling of membrane was investigated. The effect of EPS (Extra cellular Polymeric Substance) which is generated due to the long SRT and high concentration of MLSS and the dose of coagulant on the membrane were also investigated. The suitable oxic/anoxic time ratio for the best removal efficiency of organic matter and nitrogenous matter was 40 minutes (Oxic) : 20 minutes (Anoxic). At this time ratio, alum was dosed into the aeration tank. The result of dosing alum was that the concentration of alum solution might affect nitrification and denitrification. To remove 1 mg/L of phosphorus in MBR process, it needs 0.75 mg/L of alum solution.

This study was carried out to estimate the performance of modified sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process by the application of SBR process for small advanced wastewater treatment plant. Organic, nitrogen and phosphorus were able to remove in the unit reactor by SBR process and it would be able to select the suitable operation method. The plant was operated to achieve high performance with influent control, optimum anoxic/oxic condition using intermediate aeration method, and solid (sludge) /liquid (effluent) separation by modified decanter. The optimum operating mode was 3Cycles a day and intermediate input and aeration. Under these conditions, the treatment efficiencies were good with 60% of designed flow rate and low influent quality. When the influent concentrations of BOD and CODMn were 120.4 mg/L and 95.7 mg/L, respectively. The effluent concentrations of BOD and CODMn were 6.8 mg/L and 11.0 mg/L, respectively. The average removal efficiencies of BOD and CODMn were 94.4% and 88.5%, respectively. The removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P were 69.6% and 73.6%, respectively when the average T-N and T-P concentrations were 32.2mg/L and 4.65mg/L, respectively. The T-N and T-P removal efficiencies were slightly decreased to 58.8% and 68.5%, respectively in the winter season but its were also stable efficiencies. BOD, T-N and T-P were removed by 90%. 67% and 46% respectively in the first anoxic/oxic condition, in addition to T-P was removed by 70% in the second anoxic/oxic condition. From the results, modified sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process is suitable for small advanced wastewater treatment.

The feasibility of simultaneous phosphorus and nitrogen removal by enhancing anoxic phosphorus uptake was investigated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). By introducing an anoxic phase into an anaerobic-aerobic SBR (AO SBR), significant amounts of denitrifying phosphorus accumulating organisms (DPAOs) which can utilize nitrate as electron acceptor could be accumulated in the reactor (anaerobic-aerobic- anoxic-aerobic SBR, $(AO)_2$ SBR). A direct comparison of phosphorus uptake rate under anaerobic and aerobic conditions showed that the fraction of DPAOs in P-removing sludge were increased from 10% in the AO SBR to 64% in $(AO)_2$ SBR. The $(AO)_2$ SBR showed stable phosphorus and nitrogen removal efficiency: average removal efficiencies of TOC, total nitrogen, and phosphorus were 92%, 88%, and 100%. respectively. Results of the $(AO)_2$ SBR operation and batch tests showed that nitrite (up to 10 mg-N/L) was not detrimental to anoxic phosphorus uptake and could serve as good electron acceptor like nitrate.

네덜란드 브리젠빈 하폐수처리장 최종방류수의 $NH_4$-N 및 TN(Total Nitrogen)농도를 방류수 수질기준인 각각 4 mg/L와 10 mg/L에 맞추기 위한 최적의 운전조건을 도출하기 위해 다양한 제어시스템이 시뮬레이션 되었다. 본 연구에 사용된 모델은 IWA(International Water Association) 활성슬러지 모델 No.1 (ASM No.1)이었고, GPS-X가 시뮬레이터로 사용되었다. 모델링을 위한 매개변수 민감도 분석결과 ASM No.1의 총 19개 매개변수 중 8개 변수 ($Y_H$, ksh, koh, $b_H$, ${\mu}_a$, $k_{NA}$, kh, ka)가 방류수 수질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었고 이들 매개변수에 대해 보정을 수행하여 사용하였다. SRT, 호기/무산소기간, 외부탄소원 주입시간 변화에 따른 방류수질 변화를 시뮬레이션하였는데, 호기/무산소 11h/1h인 조건에서 SRT가 20일에서 25일로 증가되면 $NH_4$-N가 5.0 mg/L에서 2.9 mg/L로 감소되었고 호기/무산소 2h/1h의 조건에서는 SRT증가에 따라 $NH_4$-N은 큰 감소를 보이지만, 바이패스되는 유입수량의 감소로 탈질율이 낮아 방류수 TN이 11.1~11.5 mg/L로 예측되는 결과가 도출되었다. 탈질율을 높이기 위한 아세트산 주입은 동일한 양의 아세트산을 무산소 전기간 (1h)동안 균일 주입하는 것 보다는 무산소 초기 15분내에 주입하는 것이 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

무산소조의 HRT가 3.5시간에서는 탈질이 일어날 수 있는 조건을 이루지 못하였다. Phase 4에는 무산소조를 3.7시간으로 고정하고 호기조와 혐기조의 HRT를 조절하여도 전체적인 효율에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 슬러지 반송만으로 높아질수 있는 NO3-N 농도를 무산소조의 HRT로 조절함과 동시에 호기조에서의 DO농도를 1.5로 주입함으로써 높은 질산화로 인해 발생되는 낮은 탈질률을 막아줌으로써 인제거율에도 효과를 나타냄을 알 수 있다.

본 연구는 서로 다른 조건에서 질산화를 유도한 반응기의 군집동태를 살피기 위해 DGGE를 이용하여 반응기 초기의 슬러지 구성 군집의 상태와 질산화 유도후의 군집변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. DGGE의 전체 profile에 의하면 군집을 조성하는 개체군의 수가 상당히 축소되었다는 점과 비배양적인 질산화균이 여전히 많다는 점, 그리고 호기조건과 미호기/무산소 조건에 공존하는 band가 많은 것으로 볼 때 예상보다는 산소에 대해 내성이 있는 질산화균이 많다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

To consider the nutrient removal characteristics of BNR process activating soil microorganisms under the influence of DPB and to clear the characteristics of DPB under anoxic condition was investigated in the this study. The batch tests were conducted using sludge sampled from the BNR process activating soil microorganisms during operation periods. The results of this study were summarized as follows: - The DPB(Denitrifying Phosphorus removing Bacteria) performing denitrification and phosphorus uptake in the anoxic phase plays an important role in removing nitrogen and phosphorus in the BNR process activating soil microorganisms. - The PUR(Phosphorus Uptake Rate) of DPB in the anoxic phase was to be about 50% of PUR in the aerobic phase. - The DPB in the BNR process turned out to be increasing nutrient removal efficiency of BNR process.

To study the characteristics of organic and nutrient removal by Bacillus species at high COD concentration of influent, three lab-scale batch reactors(R1, R2, R3), each of which has different substrate composition, were operated. More than 95% of $NH_4^+$-N and $COD_{cr}$, concentrations were removed under an aerobic condition, and their removal efficiencies were found to be 22.6 and 90.5%(R1), 23.9 and 65.8%(R2), 30.2 and 86.4%(R3), respectively. The removal efficiency of $NH_4^+$-N was high when an enough amount of $NO_3^{-}$-N was supplied, and that of $COD_{cr}$. was low when a high concentration of initial $NO_2^{-}$-N was added. The amount of carbon utilized in denitrification was a little. In all reactors,$NO_3^{-}$-N was removed under an anoxic condition, but in the R3 reactor, 10% of $NO_3^{-}$-N could be removed even undo, an aerobic condition. The removal efficiencies of TN and TP were 41.8 and 49.5%(R1), 40.1 and 35.8%(R2), 47.0 and 57.6%(R3), respectively. Alkalinities destructed under an aerobic condition for each reactor were 4.96, 5.41 and 3.93 mg/L (as $CaCO_3$) per each gram of $NH_4^+$-N oxidized, respectively, while 3.06, 3.17 and 2.60 mg/L (as $CaCO_3$) of alkalinities were produced for each gram of ,$NO_3^{-}$-N reduced to $N_2$. The SOUR were found to be 38.5, 52.7 and 42.0 mg $O_2$/g MLSS/hr, which indicated that Bacillus sp. had a higher cell activity than activated sludge. The OLR and sludge production were estimated to be 0.69 and 0.28(Rl), 0.77 and 0.20(R2), 0.61 kg COD/$m^3$/day and 0.25 kg MLSS/kg COD(R3), respectively. From the N-balance, the highest percentage(40.9%) of nitrogen lost to $N_2$ was obtained in the R3 reactor. From all the results, the possibility of aerobic denitrification Bacillus sp. has been shown and the B3 process seemed to have two advantages: a little amount of carbon was required in denitrification and not much amount of alkalinity was destructed under an aerobic condition.

국내의 하수도 보급률은 90%에 달하고 있으며, 하수의 고도처리와 처리기술이 향상된 신기술개발 등으로 수질개선 효과가 크게 개선되어 있고, 전국 각지에 활발하게 하수처리장의 건설이 추진 중에 있지만, 다양한 오염원의 증가와 함께 환경기준은 점차적으로 강화되고 있어 기존 하수처리장은 강화되고 있는 환경기준을 만족시키기 어려운 실정으로 새로운 처리법의 도입이 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 시설이 노후화된 하수종말처리장의 경우에는 경제적인 부담감을 이유로 기존 공법 개선을 통한 수질기준을 만족하기 위하여 노력하고 있으며, 특히, 방류수 수질 중에서 총질소(T-N)와 총인(T-P)의 기준을 평상시와 겨울철(12월 1일부터 3월 31일까지)로 구분하여 적용하여 왔지만, 2012년부터는 이를 동일하게 적용함으로써 겨울철 생물학적 처리 공정에서의 효율저하로 인한 기준치 만족이 어려운 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 인천의 하수처리장을 대상으로 동절기 수온의 저하에 따른 생물학적 공정을 개선시키기 위하여 운전조건을 변경하여 수질개선 증대 방안을 도출하고자 하였으며, 생물학적 공정인 MLE공법으로 동절기 외부 온도의 영향을 받는 조건을 갖는 사업소를 대상으로 실내 실험장치를 구성하여 조건을 변화하면서 개선 효과를 검토하였다. 생물반응조의 공정위치 변화, 미생물농도 그리고 체류시간변화 등의 실험조건으로 하수 처리 효율을 분석하였으며, 운전 중 외부반송 유량, 내부반송 유량 등의 운전인자는 일정하게 유지하였고, 동절기 온도인 $10^{\circ}C$로 유지하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과 대상 하수처리장의 생물학적 공정의 개선방향은 공정 배열을 변화하였을 때, 현재의 공정 배열 조건인 무산소조 1개, 호기조 4개의 공정보다 호기조 1개, 무산소조 1개, 호기조 3개로 수정하는 경우 현재 공정보다 질소는 7%, 유기물은 9.2% 처리효율이 개선되는 것으로 분석되었다. 미생물 농도 변화를 주어 수질 개선 효과를 검토한 결과 하수처리장 설계농도인 3,500ppm의 경우보다 미생물 농도를 5,970ppm으로 증가시킨 경우 17.4% 처리효율의 개선효과를 보여 질소 제거를 위해 미생물의 농도를 증가시키는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단하였다. 또한, 체류시간(HRT)을 변화한 경우에는 현재 체류시간(HRT)인 8시간 보다 10시간으로 증가시켰을 경우 유기물은 3.2%, 질소는 2.6%의 처리효율이 개선되는 것으로 분석되었다.
