하수처리장의 침전지 구조물은 고형물(SS) 및 현탁물을 침전, 제거하여 하수의 정화를 도모하는 시설로 초기 유입 하수의 생물학적 처리로 인해 발생되는 슬러지와 처리수를 분리함에 그 목적을 두고 있다. 침전지 구조물은 장소의 제약 및 침전지의 효율성 측면에서 많은 공법이 제안되고 있으며, 그중 이층 침전지의 경우 구조물의 시공비용 절감 및 공간 활용측면에서 단층 침전지에 비해 우수성을 인정받고 있다. 하지만 상 하 층에 위치하고 있는 침전지 유입부의 위치적 특성으로 인해 균등한 유량의 분배가 이루어지지 않고 유량이 한곳에 집중되는 현상으로 보일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 이층 침전지의 유량분배 최적화를 위한 설계인자를 도출 하였다. 특히 상 하층에 위치하고 있는 유입부의 위치적인 특성을 고려하여 유입부의 직경을 상층 $500mm{\sim}600mm$, 하층 $500mm{\sim}700mm$으로 변화시키며 수치모의를 수행하였으며, 유입량의 분배효과를 확인하기 위해 각 동일한 위치에서 유입량을 산정하였다. 각 케이스별 분배효과를 분석한 결과 상 하층의 유입부 직경을 상층 600mm 와 하층 700mm를 적용했을 경우 유입량의 표준편차가 가장 작게 발생하며, 침전지 내부의 흐름이 원활하게 이루어지는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 상용 CFD모형인 FLOW-3D를 계획 중인 H하수처리장의 이층 침전지 설계에 적용하였으며 유입부 직경에 따른 분배효과를 분석하였다.

Sedimentation basin plays an important role in urban water treatment, and there are many complicated phenomena which need to be understood for efficient design and control of it. Especially, the study on the improvement of settling efficiency is required. In this study, commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) program, FLUENT, and particle tracking method were used to simulate the flow in sedimentation basin, and to predict the settling efficiency. Computational domain of real scale was made, and detail factors such as porous wall, and outlet trough were considered instead of being simplified. The simulation results were compared with the experimental data to calibrate the parameters of particle tracking method. Sensitivity analysis showed that the particle diameter had more significant effects on settling efficiency than the particle density. The computation results gave the best agreements with the experimental data, when the value of particle diameter was 26.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

Existing states of attached algae in the sedimentation basin was observed during late april to early october, and the attached algae were visible 7 days after of cleaning the trough and the communities of algae became larger with increasing the operation periods. Attached algae community included bluegreen algae (Oscillatoria sp.), diatom (Synedra sp.,) and green algae (Mougeotia sp., Oedogonium sp.) and suspended diatom (Stephanodiscus sp.) as well. Diatom (Cymbella sp., Navicula sp., Synedra sp. and Stephanodiscus sp.), green algae(Mougeotia sp. and Cosmarium sp.) and blue-green algae (Anabaena sp.) were detected in the effluent of sedimentation basin. The chlorophyll-a (chl-a)concentrations of algae community on a square centimeter after 14 and 28 days were distinctively different depended on the copper sulphate treatment. The concentration of chl-a were $4{\mu}g/L/cm^2$ and $19{\mu}g/L/cm^2$ for the copper sulphate treated water and $59{\mu}g/L/cm^2$ and $147{\mu}g/L/cm^2$ for the untreated water. Diatom algae fragments were observed in red-brownish sediments on the bottom of industrial water distribution basin and degraded blue-green and green algae formated organic sediments combined with oxidized iron.

Sedimentation is treated as the most important unit process in waterworks, and plays great role on turbidity removal efficiency. Rectangle sedimentation basin is the most widely accepted sedimentation process. But it has some problems with short-circuit flow and density flow caused by temperature and influent turbidity variation. To solve these problems, installation of rectification wall was suggested, but not generally fully accepted in field. Because hole of rectification wall cause jet flow. In this research, use of moving baffle was investigated. Moving baffle was designed to induce uniform velocity at every section of water flow. The baffle walls was made from soft fiber materials. The baffle walls with flow of sedimentation basin moves at same speed. It is like that it controls density flow and short-circuit flow and induce uniform velocity at every section of water flow in sedimentation basin. When moving baffle was operated retention time of sedimentation basin was extended to 1 hours. When it talked again and the effluent time of highest concentration of the chlorine ion from 100 minutes was extended to 160 minutes. Turbidity removal efficiency was tested with different operation modes(continuous and batch) with influent turbidity and retention time. It was revealed that turbidity removal efficiency carl be improved up to 36%(continuous mode) and 58%(batch mode) respectively. Consequently if moving baffle introduces in Rectangle sedimentation basin, it forecasts that the turbidity improvement above 30% will be possible.

Improvement of the solid-liquid separation efficiency in the secondary sedimentation tank of the biological treatment process, is known to be increasing effectiveness of the overall system operation. Sewage treatment plant effluent SS is composed of most organic substances. In order to reduce the SS component in the secondary sedimentation tank discharge, fine SS components constituting the heterogeneous should be increased by its own aggregation (self flocculation), so that can be deleted through their precipitation. So, it is improved through using the installation of double rectification wall in this secondary tank. In case, sewage is rapidly increased due to the daily change of the influent water, it was confirmed that suspended solids caused by the impact load are processed stably. Therefore, there is a need for a facility installation which can be its own aggregation for reduction suspended solids in secondary sedimentation tank.

Flow characteristics analysis and tracer test simulations for the rectangular typed sedimentation basins, which have been operated at D_water treatment plant in Korea, were carried out using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques for design ($15,864m^3/day$) and operation flowrate ($33,333m^3/day$). Also, each efficiency of the sedimentation basin was evaluated by application of the Lagrangin technique on the assumption of the particles flowing into the inlet of the sedimentation basin. From the results of simulation, the mean velocity values for making the flow in the settling basin as a plug flow region were derived as 0.00193 m/s and 0.00417 m/s, respectively. In addition, ${\beta}$ (effective contact factor) values were calculated to be 0.51 and 0.46, and the Morrill Index values were 6.05 and 3.21, respectively for both flowrate conditions.

The effluent quality is directly affected by the separation of biological solids in a final clarifier because the majority of discharged $BOD_5$ and SS are virtually dependent on the results of biological solids in the sedimentation tank effluent. If a final clarifier is effectively designed and operated, the desired goal of clarification for wastewater can be achieved together with the cost reduction in the treatment of wastewater. To this end flow characteristics and the removal efficiency of SS are numerically investigated especially by the change of the inlet position and the installation of baffle to improve the performance of a rectangular final clarifier. The 2-D computer program developed in a rectangular coordinates has been successfully validated against experimental residence time distribution(RTD) curves obtained by tracing radio-isotope. The lowering of the inlet position weakens the density current and induces the settling of SS in the front zone of a clarifier. Thus the decreased traveling distance of the sludge increases the removal efficiency of SS in the effluent. The inlet baffle installed in the front region of clarifier prevents the short circuiting flow and induces to flow into the dense underflow, which eventually improves the effluent quality. In the case of lower inlet position, however, installation of baffle results in degradation of effluent quality. Consequently it is strongly recommended that in-depth numerical study be performed in advance for optimizing a clarifier design and retrofitting to improve effluent quality in a final clarifier.

In this paper, the characteristics of the flow and the movement of the floc were analyzed through the experiments in the sedimentation basin using the redioisotope. Tc-99m radioisotope was used for the experiments for the characteristics of the flow, and the bentonite absorbing Tc-99m radioisotope was used in the experiments for the movement of the floc. Through the experiments of the flow, it was found that the velocities of flow in the sedimentation basin were different depending upon the position and the depth. The distance of the moving trajectories of the floc is increased by increasing the discharge. By increasing the discharge, the settling point is farther from the inlet, and the turbidity removal efficiencies in the sedimentation basin are decreased. The moving velocities of the floc and the density are changed in the different depths in the sedimentation basin.

하수처리장의 침전지는 고형물(SS)을 침전, 제거하여 하수를 정화하는 시설로서 생물학적처리에 의해 발생하는 슬러지와 처리수를 분리하는 것을 주목적으로 한다. 장방형침전지의 경우, 유입된 하수가 침전지의 전 단면에 걸쳐 균일하게 도달하게 하기 위하여 $6\~20\%$ 정도의 유공율을 가진 유공정류벽을 설치하며 유효 침전구역에서의 유속은 0.08 m/sec 이하가 되도록 설계되어야 한다. 지금까지 침전지 유입부의 설계시에는 상기 설계기준만을 참조하여 설계가 진행되고 있는 실정으로 보다 나은 대안을 도출하기 위한 분석은 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 침전지의 유입부 설계를 위한 설계인자를 도출하였다. 특히 유공정류벽의 크기, 위치 유공율에 따라서 유입하수의 수리적인 특성을 3차원적으로 분석하였다. 저류벽의 위치에 따른 유량의 분배효과를 검토하기 위하여 저류벽의 폭, W를 2.4 m로 고정하고 유입부에서 저류벽까지의 거리, L을 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 2.5 m로 변화시키며 수치모의를 수행하였다. 그리고 저류벽의 폭에 따른 유량의 분배효과를 검토하기 위하여 L을 고정하고 W를 변화시키며 수치모의를 수행하였다. 유공정류벽의 유공율에 따른 유량의 연직 분배효과를 검토하기 위하여 유공율을 변화시키며 연직위치별 통과유량을 산정하였다 각 모의조건에 대한 통과유량 산정결과, 유공율이 $7\%$일때 통과유량의 표준편차가 가장 작게 발생하며, 유공율이 $7\%$보다 감소하거나 증가하면 표준편차가 증가하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상용 CFD모형인 FLOW-3D를 계획 중인 하수처리장의 침전지 유입부 설계에 적용하였으며 저류벽의 위치와 폭, 유공정류벽의 유공율에 따른 유입하수의 분배효과를 분석하였다. 실험을 수행하여 보다 정밀한 공식으로 개선할 수 있었다.$10,924m^3/s$ 및 $10,075m^3/s$로서 실험 I의 $2,757m^3/s$에 비해 통수능이 많이 개선되었음을 알 수 있다.함을 알 수 있다. 상수관로 설계 기준에서는 관로내 수압을 $1.5\~4.0kg/cm^2$으로 나타내고 있는데 $6kg/cm^2$보다 과수압을 나타내는 경우가 $100\%$로 밸브를 개방하였을 때보다 $60\%,\;80\%$ 개방하였을 때가 더 빈번히 발생하고 있으므로 대상지역의 밸브 개폐는 $100\%$ 개방하는 것이 선계기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐에 따른 수압 변화를 모의한 결과 밸브 개폐도를 적절히 유지하여 필요수량의 확보 및 누수방지대책에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.8R(mm)(r^2=0.84)$로 지수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유거수량은 토성별로 양토를 1.0으로 기준할 때 사양토가 0.86으로 가장 작았고, 식양토 1.09, 식토 1.15로 평가되어 침투수에 비해 토성별 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 토성이 세립질일 수록 유거수의 저항이 작기 때문으로 생각된다. 경사에 따라서는 경사도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $10\% 경사일 때를 기준으로 $Ro(mm)=Ro_{10}{\times}0.797{\times}e^{-0.021s(\%)}$로 나타났다.천성 승모판 폐쇄 부전등을 초래하는 심각한 선천성 심질환이다. 그러나 진단 즉시 직접 좌관상동맥-대동맥 이식술로 수술적 교정을 해줌으로써 좋은 성적을 기대할 수 있음을 보여주었다.특히 교사들이 중요하게 인식하는 해방적 행동에 대한 목표를 강조
