Chlorinated ethylenes such as perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) are widely used as industrial solvents and degreasing agents. Because of improper handling, these highly toxic chlorinated ethylenes have been often detected from contaminated soils and groundwater. Biological PCE dechlorination activities were tested in bacterial cultures inoculated with 10 different environmental samples from sediments, sludges, soils, and groundwater. Of these, the sediment using culture (SE 2) was selected and used for establishing an efficient PCE dechlorinating enrichment culture since it showed the highest activity of dechlorination. The cathode chamber of bioelectrochemical system (BES) was inoculated with the enrichment culture and the system with a cathode polarized at -500 mV (Vs Ag/AgCl) was operated under fed-batch mode. PCE was dechlorinated to ethylene via TCE, cis-dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride. Microbial community analysis with polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) showed that the microbial community in the enrichment culture was significantly changed during the bio-electrochemical PCE dechlorination in the BES. The communities of suspended-growth bacteria and attached-growth bacteria on the cathode surface are also quite different from each other, indicating that there were some differences in their mechanisms receiving electrons from electrode for PCE dechlorination. Further detailed research to investigate electron transfer mechanism would make the bioelctrochemical dechlorination technique greatly useful for bioremediation of soil and groundwater contaminated with chlorinated ethylenes.

A study developing the dry powder fire extinguishing system inside the simulated machinery spaces of small ship was performed. Fire tests were conducted inside the compartments having volume $8m^3,\;4.5m^3\;and\;2.9m^3$ respectively. The openings and fans were established on the walls of the compartments. Diesel oil was used for the test fuel. In addition fire extinguishing nozzles using dry powder were installed downward at ceiling and horizontally at the wall or conner. All fires in the test were extinguished under system activation and there was no reignition.

The application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to analyze the environmental impact to different swine waste treatment systems was investigated. The first part of LCA is to organize an inventory of parameters and emissions released due to the system under investigation. In the following step of the Life Cycle Impact Assessment, the inventory data were analyzed and aggregated in order to finally get one index representing the total environmental burden. For the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) the Eco-indicator 95 method has been chosen because this is well documented and regularly applied impact method. Two different swine waste treatment systems such as aerobic and anaerobic digestion systems were chosen as an example for the life cycle impact analysis. For establishing the parameters to be assessed the agricultural environmental effects to above swine waste treatment systems, it has been observed that there was high at T-P emission in anaerobic digestion system and $CO_2$ emission in aerobic digestion system. For Eco-indicator values per environmental effect for swine waste treatment systems related to one tonne of swine waste, it was shown that there was a negative index for global warm potential and soil acidification in aerobic digestion system, but relatively high positive index for eutrophication in anaerobic digestion system.

This invention is purposed to provide an innovative solution for the inside of roof structures, which is cultural assets. The Asian old houses generally have several layered roofs on top of the structures. If a fire has started inside of the roof, it is hard to be extinguished before eliminating all the upper layers of the roof. This invention provides pre constructed embedded pipes, which is flammable and easy to be dissolved by the fire. The material of pipe is composed of rubbers, of which the combustion point is so low that the extinguishing of initial fire is possible without additional fire service. The inside of pipe is filled with halon gas. If the filled gas is consumed after ignited by fire, additional fire extinguishing water is supplied. If the flexible pipes are totally combusted by a big fire, the sprinkler at the end of inflexible pipe will work continuously, which is located between flexible and inflexible pipes. The extinguishing pipe network is suggested as dividing whole roof as multiple sections for a swift fire extinguishing in case of intentional or natural fire attack to our invaluable cultural assets.

INERGEN 의 성능시험으로서 가장 확실한 방법은 직접적인 전량 방출시험이 최선의 방법이나 고비용, 안전문제 및 시험절차의 난이성 등의 이유로 NFPA 2001 이나 선급에서는 직접적인 방출 시험을 가급적 규제하고 있다. 지금까지는 이론적 계산을 통한 서류제출로 대체하거나, 간접 시험방법인 Door Fan Test 를 통하여 소화설비의 적정성을 평가하는 것이 보편적이었다. 하지만 이번 WOODSIDE 선주사의 전례없는 요구로 SHI 에서는 전량 방출시험을 I,G.G. Room 에 대해 수행하게 되었다. 본 자료에서는 조선설게자 관점에서 Full scale test 를 통한 Inergen 성능시험 최적화 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

현재 일반화재 및 산림화재에 따른 목조건축물 및 문화재 등에 화재가 확산 될 경우 일반 소화기 및 옥내 및 외소화전으로는 약제의 날림 및 다량의 물로 인한 수손피해 등으로 한계가 있으며, 이를 개선하기 위한 적합한 소화설비가 구비되지 못한 관계로 많은 어려움이 있으며, 이로 인하여 초기진화에 실패함으로 많은 인적 물적 피해가 발생되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점들을 보완하기 위한 해결 방안으로 개인 휴대가 용의하고 간편한 청정 친환경소화시스템을 연구 하고자 한다.

화재 발생에 따른 화재조사 시 배전반이나 분전반의 완전 소락에 따른 전기화재 원인규명의 기본적이고도 중요한 증거 소멸로 원인불명 율이 점차 높아가고 있는 실정이다. 공장이나 창고에서 전기화재를 가장한 수 배전반 화재를 시도할 경우 그 증거를 찾기 어렵다. 또한, 수 배전반이 위치한 곳에 사람이 상주하지 않는 곳이 많으며 초기 소화가 원활히 이루어지지 않을 경우 막대한 재산 피해와 통신의 대혼란을 가져올 소지가 다분히 존재하고 있다. 따라서, 수 배전반 및 분전반의 화재로부터 보호하기 위해서는 신뢰성과 안전성이 확보된 자동소화 시스템의 도입이 필요하다.

An experimental study is presented for extinguishing characteristics of liquid fuel fire by water mist containing sodium acetate trihydrate. To evaluate the extinguishing performance of water mist containing an additive, the evaporation characteristics of a water droplet on a heated surface was examined. The evaporation process was recorded by a charge-coupled-device camera. Also, small-scale extinguishing tests were conducted for n-heptane pool fire in ventilated space to measure flame temperature variation. The average evaporation rate of a water droplet containing an additive was lower than that of a pure water droplet at a given surface temperature due to the precipitation of salt in the liquid-film and change of surface tension. In case of using an additive, the flame temperature was lower than that of pure water at a given discharge pressure and it was because the momentum of a water droplet containing an additive was increased reducing flame size. And also dissociated metal atoms, sodium, were reacted as a scavenger of the major radical species OH^-,\;H^+$ which were generated for combustion process. Moreover, at a high pressure of 4MPa, the fire was extinguished through blowing effect as well as primary extinguishing mechanisms.
