A septic tank is a purification treatment system where night soil and other waste matter is converted into harmless material by the activities of bacteria. Effluent from the septic tank flows into the sewer pipe, and then this effluent affects the quality of water environment and makes foul smell. In this study, through the proper maintenance of septic tank it was tried to minimize the impact of sewer pipe on water quality and fouling smell. BOD removal rate from the septic tank's effluent which exceeded legal cleaning period was investigated for the proper maintenance. BOD Removal rate of the twelve septic tank's effluent is -62.5% to 43.9%. According to the result of BOD removal rate, septic tank cleaning should be done at least once a year. And the pathogenic coliform bacillus in the twelve septic tank's effluent is average 768,000 (MPN/$100m{\ell}$). The chlorine disinfection is needed to remove the pathogenic coliform bacillus in septic tank effluent.

Depuration of extraneous substances such as bottom deposit, feces and coliforms from live oyster has been studied. Coliform accumulation of bottom cultured oysters was much higher than that of raft or long line cultured oysters. When the depuration tank designed in this study was adopted, the depuration rate could be diminished to about $50\%$ within one hour treatment. Tho most effective conditions of the tank water for depurating live oysters wer $22^{\circ}C$ in temperature, 8.80 in pH and below about 2 ppm of residual chlorine concentration.

The odor occurring in the sewage system induces the displeasure, the disgust such as the headache, the vomit, etc. and increases the spiritual stress and disturbs the pleasant life of residents. These odors occur mainly in the area of combined sewage system treatment, being created in the personal sewage treatment plant such as septic tank and are incoming to sewage pipes and emitted to the outside through the manhole and the receiver, etc.; and this causes odors to the people. The Hydrogen Sulfide, the Methyl Mercaptan, the Ammonia, etc. are materials causing the odor, the more serious issue of odor is occurring since the septic tank of degradation process is being applied. The primary cause of odor is the decomposition of human feces in the septic tanks and sewage disposal facilities. The purpose of this study is reduction of hydrogen sulfide using air supplying and SOB(Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacteria). As a result of this study of the air supply system and the SOB media equipment by air supply, in case the air is injected to SOB media compared to the injection of air only, the removal efficiency the hydrogen sulfide was average 3.4 times higher.

This study was conducted to prepare a plan for the operation and improvement of excretory treatment facilities in Seoul, where the amount of excrement is expected to continue to increase due to the increase in the installation of septic tanks, a private sewage treatment facility. As a result, there are problems due to the lack of treatment capacity and increase in the amount brought in. To improve this, it is necessary to expand the overall excretory treatment facility, adjust the area of some facilities, reduce the amount of excrement through the realization of excretory units, and reduce the amount of excrement due to the change of the type of sewage treatment facility.

Sewer pipe in Korea is generally constructed with concrete pipes. Moreover, the sewer system is susceptible to the corrosion problem due to the regulation employing anaerobic treatment processes, such as domestic sewage treatment facilities, nightsoil septic tanks and so on. The objective of this study is investigated to experimental test of $H_2S$ production rate affecting corrosion of sewer pipe in Korea. In this study, tube-type and sealed-type reactor were used to examine the reactions in the microorganism suspended growth and biofilm. Furthermore. concentration changes were investigated with COD and sulfate reduction in each reactor. Sulfide production rate was $50.4mg-H_2S/g-VSS{\cdot}d$ in the sealed-type reactor and in the tube-type biofilm reactor was $2.8{\sim}18.8g-H_2S/m^2{\cdot}d$.

After manufacturing fermentation system for degrading pig manure using environmentally friendly technique, performance of the system and characteristics of wood chips and pig manure fermented in the system were analyzed. Results from this study shows that proper fermentation temperature($55{\sim}60^{\circ}C$) reached 3days after the system started and degradation rate, which expresses fermentation performance of system, was $180{\iota}$/day. Even as progressing the fermentation of wood chips and pig manure mixture, the amount of extractives drawn out by alkali, and alcohol-benzene and lignin content was not varied. However, ash content in wood was increased. The inorganic compounds in pig manure seem to be transferred into wood chip. On the other hand holocellulose contents in wood were decreased a little. Holocellulose seems to be consumed as the second carbon source in fermentation process. Results through analysis of inorganic- and heavy metal elements contents in wood chips and pig manure fermented in long term process shows that inorganic elements($Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;K^+,\;Na^+$ etc.) contents were increased with fermentation time and heavy metal elements(Cd, As, Cu etc.) which cause environmental pollution were not detected. Number of microorganisms including bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi, the number of C.F.U(Colony Forming Unit) was increased while temperature in fermentation system was abruptly increased.

BMP test was carried out to evaluate the characteristics for co-digestion of night soil and food waste. 6 types of sludge were tested in 30 days which were raw, excess, digested, night soil/septic tank (1:1), food waste (food : dilution water = 1:1), and mixed sludge. Bio gas was produced actively after 2 days, and continued in 2 weeks. Gas generation amount was decreased rapidly after considerable space of time. Especially maximum productivity of gas was shown in 7~8 days. The ultimate methane yields of raw, excess, digested, night soil/septic tank, food waste, and mixed sludge were 64.63, 67.49, 66.45, 72.44, 107.85, and 46.71 mL $CH_4/g$ VS respectively from Modified Gompertz model. The lag growth phase time and maximum specific methane production rate of mixed sludge were 1.88 day and 80.4 mL/day respectively. The methane potential of mixed sludge was higher than individual sludge. So high methane potential was expected by controlling mixing ratio of food waste. Besides stable operation of digestion tank and the solution of oligotrophic problem were possible.

This study aims to develop the combined septic tank for middle-small scale sewage treatment. The developed process were circular and separate type. The circular combined septic tank was controlled sludge discharge and could be modified the advanced treatment system. The separate combined septic tank was could be applicated wastewater that discharge flow was varied, and was could be maintained F/M ratio constantly. The optimum hydraulic retention time was about 16 hours.

배수설비시스템에 적용되는 각종 기기들의 특징 및 통기관의 선정 방법을 미국의 ASPE code에 제시되어 있는 내용을 중심으로 소개하고자 한다. 건물 내에서 발생하는 오수 및 배수는 항상 건물 외부로 잘 배출시켜야 한다. 이러한 배수시스템은 원활한 배수가 수행되어야 하도록 수평배수관은 적합한 구배를 주어야 하며, 부지경계선 밖에 설치된 공공하수도와 체결하여 한다. 오수배관은 지상에 노출시키거나 사설정화조를 체류하지 않고 우수로에 직접 배출할 수 없다. 배수설비를 설계할 때의 문제점은, 배수배관 및 통기관을 선정시 선정된 관경이 최적화되었는지 평가하는데 있다. 즉, 현존하는 건축물의 배수시스템에서 문제점이 발생하지 않는다고 설계된 배수배관경 및 통기관경이 최적화된 것으로 평가하기에는 어려움이 있다고 판단된다.(중략)
