In this study, the nitrate removal efficiency was examined under a variety of operating conditions, such as different doses of the reducing agent, different electrode types, different HRTs(hydraulic retention times), and different current densities, using the multistep electrochemical process. The nitrate removal efficiency increased and the input energy decreased when the reducing agent was used, and almost no difference was found between the electrode types in terms of their nitrate removal efficiency and current efficiency. So that the Zn reducing agent could be recovered, though, the B-type electrode was chosen(step 1: Pt-Zn; step 2: Pt-Zn; step 3: Pt-Zn; step 4: Pt-Zn). HRT experiments were carried out on constant electric current density unrelated HRTs and various electric current density related HRTs: the constant amount of electric current per unit volume. As a result, HRT and the electric current density caused concentration polarization and the lack of an applied current. That is to say,the lower the HRT, the greater the decrease in concentration polarization and in the amount of applied current per unit volume. Therefore, optimal conditions were found through the experiments that were conducted on HRT and electric current density. When a spacer was installed in the process, the nitrate removal efficiency and energy efficiency increased even more because the diffusion likewise increased.

Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted using a three-stage rotating biological contactor unit followed by lime precipitation and sedimentation with effluent recycle to the first stage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydraulic loadings of 0.031-0.076 $m^3/m^2/d and recycle ratio of 1 to 3 on the simultaneous removal of organics and nutrients from domestic wastewater. Lime was added to maintain pH of 10.4-11.0 in the coagulation-flocculation reactor. Results showed that the highest nitrogen removal rate of 70.5% occurred at the lower hydraulic loading of 0.031 $m^3/m^2/d at a recirculation rate of 300%, and similarly, highest nitrification occurred at the same hydraulic loading and recycle ratio. Concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the effluent was less than 1 mg/l at the same operating conditions for higher nitrogen removal. Whereas, high BOD and COD removal was observed at hydraulic loading rate of 0.054 $m^3/m^2/d, and high removal of organic matter was evident from the consistent low COD and BOD value. Results obtained from the operating condition of higher loading rate, 300% of recycle rate showed the highest removals. Increasing in recycle rate and hydraulic loading rate increased the volatile solids fraction of the sludges generated to the extent of 47% at 0.076 $m^3/m^2/d hydraulic loading and 300% recirculation rate. Since pH in the flocculator was maintained at the pH of 10.4-11.0, above 90% removal of phosphorus was obtained. Average concentration of suspended solids was always maintained over 40 mg/l in the effluent. Therefore an RBC unit operating at a hydraulic loading near 0.031 $m^3/m^2/d with a recycle rate of 300% is a viable and feasible alternate conditions to produce an effluent with relative low organic matter and phosphorus, provided that there is a neutralization unit to control the pH and SS of the effluent.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between purification characteristics and hydraulic conditions, and to clarify the basic and essential factors required to be considered in the construction and management of artificial wetland system for the improvement of reservoir water quality. The artificial wetland system was composed of a pumping station and six sequential plants beds with five species of macrophytes: Oenanthe javanica, Acorus calamus, Zizania latifolia, Typha angustifolia, and Phragmites australis. The system was operated on free surface-flow system, and operation conditions were $3,444-4,156\; m^3/d$ of inflow rate, 0.5-2.0 hr of HRT, 0.1-0.2 m of water depth, 6.0-9.4 m/d of hydraulic loading, and relatively low nutrients concentration (0.224-2.462 mgN/L, 0.145-0.164 mgP/L) of inflow water. The mean purification efficiencies of TN ranged from 12.1% to 14.3% by showing the highest efficiency at the Phragmites australis bed, and these of TP were 6.3-9.5% by showing the similar ranges of efficiencies among all species. The mean purification efficiencies of SS and Chl-A ranged from 17.4% to 38.5% and from 12.0% to 20.2%, respectively, and the Oenanthe javanica bed showed the highest efficiency with higher concentration of influent than others. The mean purification amount per day of each pollutant were $9.8-4.1\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ in BOD, $1.299-2.343\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ in TN, $0.085-1.821\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ in TP, $17.9-111.6\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ in SS and $0.011-0.094\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ in Chl-a. The purification amount per day of TN revealed the hi링hest level at the Zizania latifolia bed, and TP showed at the Acrous calamus bed. SS and Chl-a, as particulate materials, revealed the highest purification amount per day at the Oenanthe javanica bed that was high on the whole parameters. It was estimated that the purification amount per day was increased with the high concentration of influent and shoot density of macrophytes, as was shown in the purification efficiency. Correlation coefficients between purification efficiencies and hydraulic conditions (HRT and inflow rate) were 0.016-0.731 of $R^2$ in terms of HRT, and 0.015-0.868 of $R^2$ daily inflow rate. Correlation coefficients of purification amounts per day with hydraulic conditions were 0.173-0.763 of Ra in terms of HRT, and 0.209-0.770 daily inflow rate. Among the correlation coefficients between purification efficiency and hydraulic condition, the percentages of over 0.5 range of $R^2$ were 20% in HRT and in daily inflow rate. However, the percentages of over 0.5 range of correlation coefficients ($R^2$) between purification amount per day and hydraulic conditions were 53% in HRT and 73% in daily inflow rate. The relationships between purificationamount per day and hydraulic condition were more significant than those of purifi-cation efficiency. In this study, high hydraulic conditions (HRT and inflow rate) are not likely to affect significantly the purification efficiency of nutrient. Therefore, the emphasis should be on the purification amounts per day with high hydraulicloadings (HRT and inflow rate) for the improvement of eutrophic reservoir withrelatively low nutrients concentration and large quantity to be treated.

상수관망시스템은 공급원으로부터 수요처까지의 용수공급을 위해 구축된 관수로 기반의 사회기반시설물로서, 주로 생활 및 산업 용수를 공급하므로 대규모 사회 경제적 피해를 방지하기 위해서는 안정적인 용수공급 능력이 요구된다. 네트워크의 다양한 특성에 의해 표현되는 상수관망시스템의 신뢰도(reliability)는 크게 시스템 내 구성요소의 안정성(mechanical reliability)과 용수공급의 기능적 안정성(hydraulic reliability)으로 구분할 수 있다. 특히, 시스템의 용수공급 안정성에 주목한 수리학적 신뢰도 연구는 많은 연구자들에 의해 지속적으로 수행된 바 있으며, 다양한 평가방법 및 지표들이 제시되어 활용 중에 있다. 기존의 수리학적 신뢰도 지표들은 주로 수요절점(demand node)에서의 공급가능 수량 및 수압을 바탕으로 산정되었다. 그러나, 절점(node)에서의 공급 상태는 결과에 해당하며, 원인 분석을 위해서는 관로(pipe)의 배치 및 규격을 분석해야 하는 번거로움이 존재한다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 직접 관로(pipe)의 공급 특성을 분석하여 네트워크의 신뢰도를 평가함으로써, 신뢰도 저하의 원인 분석 및 시스템 개선에 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 신뢰도 지표를 산정하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 상수관로 내 수리학적 기울기가 전반적으로 균등할수록 설계 비용대비 공급 신뢰도, 즉 용수공급 효율이 개선되는 특징을 바탕으로, 네트워크 내 총 에너지 손실로부터 각 관로의 길이, 유량 등의 특성을 고려한 등가 수리경사(Equivalent hydraulic gradient)를 유도하여 모든 관로의 적정 수리경사로 제안하였다. 따라서 각 관로의 실제 수리경사를 대상으로 관로별 수리학적 균등성 지수(pipe hydraulic uniformity index)를 산정하였으며, 더 나아가 전체 시스템의 균등성 지수(system hydraulic uniformity index)를 산정하였다. 제안된 신뢰도 지표는 가상의 네트워크에서 지역 내 용수 사용량이 증가하는 등 용수공급 안정성을 저해하는 몇 가지 시나리오를 바탕으로 검증하였으며, 또한 기존 지표들의 신뢰도 평가 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 본 연구는 향후 네트워크 최적 설계의 목적함수로 활용하거나, 네트워크의 보강계획 수립에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This study was initiated to evaluate the effect of HRT(hydraulic retention time) on removal efficiencies of organic matter (C), nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) in municipal wastewater for suspenced-growth processes(MLE; Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) and hybrid process(Modified-Dephanox). M-Dephanox process was designed to improve the performance of Dephanox process on denitrification efficiency. As the results, removal efficiencies of C, N and P in M-Dephanox process, which is hybrid process, were higher than those in MLE, which is suspended-growth process. Especially, nitrification inhibition of MLE was observed more severely than M-Dephanox as hydraulic retention time was reduced from 6 hr to 3.5 hr. Nitrification in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox, at short HRT, was so excellent that ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency in nitrification reactors of M-Dephanox was about 92% at 1.59 hr of HRT of nitrification reactors, however, nitrification in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox was affected severely by organic matter entering to nitrification reactors from downstream settler. It was observed that reducing of HRT in whole process resulted from reducing of HRT in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox.

To evaluate the characteristics and efficiency of oxygen transfer rate of a polystyrene foam bead as media in a packed column aerator was tested. This media has more surface area and cheaper than other ordinary plastic media. The polystyrene foam media was a sphere-shaped bead with 2.5 mm in diameter and specific surface area was 1,350 $m^2$/$m^3$. Oxygen transfer rate and standard aeration efficiency were tested under different hydraulic loading rates, depths of the media and temperatures. Experiment 1 was performed using a small packed column aerator with 10 cm in diameter and 1 m in length. The aerator filled with 0, 4.5, 9.0 and 18.0 cm of the media was tested under hydraulic loading rates of 2.0, 4.0 and 5.6 $m^3$/$m^2$/min at temperatures of 20, 25 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. In this experiment, standard oxygen transfer rate (SOTR) increased with the hydraulic loading rate and depth of the media increased. The maximum SOTR was reached at 5.6 $m^3$/$m^2$/min of hydraulic loading rate with 9 cm in depth of the media. However, standard aeration efficiency (SAE) decreased with the hydraulic loading rate increased because electricity consumed by pump increased as hydraulic loading rate increased. The highest SAE was reached at hydraulic loading rate of 2.0 $m^3$/$m^2$/min with 9.0 cm in depth of the media. Therefore, the highest SOTR and SAE were achieved at 9.0 cm in depth of the media regardless of the hydraulic loading rate. The maximum SAE was about 1.8 kg $O_2$/kW-hr with the hydraulic loading .ate of $m^3$/$m^2$/min at temperature of 20 $^{\circ}C$.Experiment 2 was performed using a larger aerator, 20 cm in diameter with 2 m in height. The aerator filled with 0, 9, 18, 27 and 36 cm of the media was operated under hydraulic loading rate of 2.0, 4.0 and 5.6 $m^3$/$m^2$/min at temperature of 27 $^{\circ}C$. The SAE reached to the highest efficiency (1.9 kg $O_2$/kW-hr) at 2.0 $m^3$/$m^2$/min of hydraulic loading rate and 36 cm in depth of the media. According to the above results, the polystyrene foam bead as a media in a packed column aerator was effective to increase oxygen transfer rate.

In this paper, an efficient detail extraction technique for a progressive coding scheme is proposed. The existing technique using the top-hat transformation yields an efficient extraction scheme for isolated and visually important details, but yields an inefficient results containing significant redundancy extracting the contour information. The proposed technique using the strong edge feature extraction property of the morphological Laplacian in this paper can reduce the redundancy, and thus provides lower bit-rate. Experimental results show that the proposed technique is more efficient than the existing one, and promise the applicability of the morphological Laplacian operator.
