The bacteria responsible for the reduction of ammonia concentration in a food-wastewater treatment facility were isolated and their characteristics were analyzed. The isolated bacteria were closely related to the bacteria belonging to genus Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Buttiauxella, Shigella, and Aeromonas, which were found in gut of animals, indicating the isolated bacteria may come from the butchery-byproduct of pigs which is the main component of wastewater. When we monitored the concentration of nitrite and nitrate in the process, it was relatively constant, indicating the isolated bacteria reduce ammonia concentration through ammonia assimilation. Based on the removal efficiency of ammonia by the isolated bacteria, we concluded that they play a role in the reduction of odorous compounds.

식품가공공장은 제품의 특성에 따라 필요로되는 여러가지의 단위공정이 조합되어 가동되고 있다. 식품제조 공정중 분리, 분획 및 농축은 매우 중요한 처리로 이를 위해서 증류, 증발, 원심분리, 여과 등의 조작이 절대적으로 필요하고, 최종제품이 액상일 경우 유통중 변질발생을 방지키 위해 살균 공정을 반드시 거치도록 되어있다. 또한 제품의 생산과정중 사용되는 폐수에 의한 환경오명을 막기위해서 폐수정화시설이 필수적으로 되어있다. 이러한 대부분의 조작과정중에서는 열처리가 반드시 수반됨에 따라 가공원료중에 함유된 각종 영양성분이 부분적으로 열레 의해 파괴되고 냄새나 색등이 변함에 따라 제품의 품질이 열화됨은 물론, 에너지비용, 관련시설의 설치에 소요되는 부지, 시설비 및 운영비 등이 많이 필요로 한다.

Land treatment를 이용한 폐수와 폐기물의 성공적이며 안전한 처리는 토양에서의 적절한 생물학적, 물리적, 화학적 반응들이 일어날때 이루어지며 이를 위해서는 처리해야할 폐기물과 토양의 성질에 따라 적절한 공정의 설계가 따라야할 것이다. Land treatment는 다른 물리화학적 처분방법에 비해 약간 느리고 불완전하다 할지라도 비용이 저렴하고 또한 landfill이나 deepwell injection등 토양을 이용한 다른 처분방법에 비해 지하수나 인근지역의 오염, 가스발생 등의 문제점이 훨씬 적다. 토지의 반복적인 처리장 부지로서의 사용 후에는 경우에 따라서는 농작물이나 가축사육용 초지로 이용할 수 있고 농경지로 이용 못할 경우에는 공원이나 건축용부지, 체육시설 등으로 이용이 가능하므로 우리나라에서도 정유, 식품공장 등지에서 폐기물의 처리및 처분방법으로 시도해 보는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다.

A pilot-scale wastewater treatment plant combined with rotating biological contactor and tapered aeration reactors was operated with the wastewater discharged from a food factory for 5 months. The bacterial communities of this plant were investigated by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA genes. In spite of high concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus as well as organic carbon, removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus was 98%, 93%, and 95%, respectively. Bacterial community at the initial operation stage was clearly distinguished from that of the stable operation stage. The most predominant phylum in the sample of stable stage was Bacteroidetes. Major population of operation period was Haliscomenobacter, Sphaerotilus, and candidate division TM7, which were classified as filamentous bacteria. However, sludge bulking caused by these bacteria was not observed. The population that has a close relationship with Haliscomenobacter increased during the stable operation stage, emerging as the most predominant group. These results suggest that the filamentous bacteria participated in nutrient removal when using rotating biological contactor and tapered aeration reactor.

In the food wastewater treatment facilities, the water quality improvement effect and the greenhouse gas emission amount followed by the change in electricity usage through a change of the aeration tank ventilation system were evaluated. also, the amount of greenhouse gas emission followed by the change in electricity usage through the change of the sludge dewatering, storage, transporting method was also evaluated. The total GHG emission from food wastewater treatment facility improvement were divided into direct emissions from the treatment processes and indirect ones from electricity usage. The water quality improvement effect of wastewater treatment plant was found to be 63.3% for BOD removal rate, 42.0% for COD removal rate, 71.0% for SS removal rate and 39.6% for T-N removal rate. and according to the results of calculating output by applying both direct emissions of greenhouse gas (Scope 1) and the indirect emission (Scope 2) of greenhouse gas followed by changes in power consumption. It was estimated that there was a total of 276.0tCO2eq./yr(7.5%) greenhouse gas reduction effect from 3,668.8tCO2eq./yr before improvement to 3,392.8tCO2eq./yr after improvement. In this result is not due to the effects of water quality improvement of emission source, but because the reduction in electricity use has reduced the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are more popular than reverse osmosis (RO) membranes as they can be operated at much lower pressures for applications in treatment of wastewater from industries like food processing and pharmaceutical as well as municipal sewage water. The separation mechanism in case of NF membranes is based on solution diffusion as well as sieving, for which the crosslinking density of the thin film of the composite membrane is less then RO membrane. Unlike ceramic membranes, membrane fouling is one of the chronic problems that occur during the nanofiltration process in polymeric membranes. Membrane cleaning is done to get rid of reversible as well as irreversible fouling by treatment with sodium hypochlorite. Compared to polymeric membranes, ceramic membranes show higher stability against these agents. In this review different types of ceramic membrane applied wastewater treatment by NF process are discussed.

우리나라 주요 상수원인 낙동강, 금강 등의 수질이 급격히 악화됨에 따라, 기존의 정수방법에 어려움이 발생되고 있다. 과거 염소에 의존한 수처리방법이 많이 사용되어 왔으나, 1989년 이후 중금속, THM(Trihalomethane), 페놀사건, 벤젠 등 각종 수돗물 유기물질 오염사고가 다발하면서, 활성탄 및 오존$(O_3)$ 등을 이용한 다양한 처리 시설들이 도입되기 시작했다. 이중 강력한 산화력을 지니고 있는 오존의 경우, 상수처리, 폐 배수처리, 식품의 살균 및 보관, 나아가 반도체 제조공정중의 포토레지스터의 제거에 이르기까지 폭넓게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 오존이 가지는 뛰어난 정화능력에도 불구하고, 막대한 설치비용 및 운전비용의 문제로 하수처리장과 같은 대규모 시설에서는 도입되지 못하고 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 본 연구에서는 재생 가능한 에너지를 오존시스템의 전력원으로 대용시킴으로써, 그 효과를 극대화시키고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 에너지 밀도가 낮지만, 지역 의존성이 적고, 청정한 무한 에너지인 수력, 풍력 및 태양에너지를 혼용한 오존 발생시스템은 소규모의 연못이나 농촌의 저수지 같은 유역뿐만 아니라, 농촌폐수로 인해 오염된 지하수의 국소지역에 대한 수처리에 사용될 수 있다.

The use of information on natural resources is indispensable to most agricultural activities to avoid disasters, to improve input efficiency, and to increase lam income. Most information is prepared and managed at a spatial scale called the "Hydrologic Unit" (HU), which means watershed or small river basin, because virtually every environmental problem can be handled best within a single HU. South Korea consists of 840 such watersheds and, while other watershed-specific information is routinely managed by government organizations, there are none responsible for agricultural weather and climate. A joint research team of Kyung Hee University and the Agriculture, forestry and Fisheries Information Service has begun a 4-year project funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and forestry to establish a watershed-specific agricultural weather information service based on "high definition" digital climate maps (HD-DCMs) utilizing the state of the art geospatial climatological technology. For example, a daily minimum temperature model simulating the thermodynamic nature of cold air with the aid of raster GIS and microwave temperature profiling will quantify effects of cold air drainage on local temperature. By using these techniques and 30-year (1971-2000) synoptic observations, gridded climate data including temperature, solar irradiance, and precipitation will be prepared for each watershed at a 30m spacing. Together with the climatological normals, there will be 3-hourly near-real time meterological mapping using the Korea Meteorological Administration's digital forecasting products which are prepared at a 5 km by 5 km resolution. Resulting HD-DCM database and operational technology will be transferred to local governments, and they will be responsible for routine operations and applications in their region. This paper describes the project in detail and demonstrates some of the interim results.
