The purpose of this study was the comparison of pollutants removal and the track study of the nitrogen and phosphorus, the estimation of the nitrification and denitrification rate, and the investigation of the nitrogen mass balance between intermittently aerated membrane bioreactor(IAMBR) and intermittently aerated bioreactor(IABR), thus it verified the validity of the membrane submergence. As a result, it had no difference of organic matter removal, however, IAMBR showed better efficiency than IABR in the nutrients. Also, $NO_3{^-}$-N concentration at the anoxic state in the reactor was lower in IAMBR, and the denitrified nitrogen of IAMBR was 40.9%, that of IABR was 10.7%, thus it found out that the denitrification capability of IAMBR was higher than IABR above fourfold. Therefore, it seems resonable to conclude that the membrane helps to improve the removal of pollutants, because of the high MLSS concentration and the available method of intermittent inflow/outflow.

The temperature change in the biologically activated sludge wastewater treatment process was predicted using the heat transfer model. All incoming and outgoing heats in wastewater treatment processes were considered. Incoming heats included the solar radiation heat, the heat from impeller mechanical energy, and the biochemical heat in the aeration process. Outgoing heats comprised the radiation heat from the waste itself, the heat of vaporization and surface aeration, the wind convection heat and the conduction heat between the surface and aerator. All heats were used as an input to the existing empirical heat transfer model. The heat transfer model of wastewater treatment processes is presented also. To test the validity of the heat transfer model, the operating conditions of the actual wastewater treatment plant were used. The temperatures were compared with the model temperatures. Model predictions were consistent within the $1.0^{\circ}C$.

SBR과 SBBR 모두 대부분의 유기물은 포기기간에 소모되었으며, SBBR의 경우 부족한 유기물 조건에서도 원활한 탈질화 반응이 일어난 것을 볼 때, 유기물 농도가 낮은 우리나라의 하수에 적합한 공정으로 생각된다. 질산화 속도에 있어서는 유기물과 용존산소의 접촉기회에 있어 유리한 조건을 가진 SBR이 더 크게 나타났다. 그러나 탈질화 반응에 있어서는 SBBR이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. SBR의 경우 높은 $NO_3$의 존재로 인해 1차 비포기 기간중 인의 방출은 거의 발생하지 않았으나, SBBR의 경우 1차 비포기 기간에 인 방출과 1차 포기기간에 인 섭취가 일어났다.

Recently, a new concept for nitrogen removal that is simultaneous nitrification and denitrification(SND) has been studied for wastewater treatment process. The DMR(Daiho Microbic Revolution) process that used in this study consists of two suspended anoxic, anaerobic reactors and an aerobic biofilm reactor. The function of aerobic environment and the intensity of air flow rate(2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.4, 0.2 L/min) were studied in the biofilm reactor; also SND and nutrient removal efficiencies were investigated. Experimental results indicated that the change in air flow did not affect COD$_{Cr}$ removal significantly. Thus sustained at 93%. The lower the air flow rate, the higher T-N removal efficiency was attained(i.e.80% at 0.2 L/min). SND efficiency was 62, 65, 72 and 78% corresponding to each air flow rate. T-P removal was sensitive to aeration intensity and removal enhanced from 75% to 96% when the air flow rate was changed from 2.0 to 0.5 L/m; however second release occured in the clarifier at 0.2 L/min. Phosphorus content of activated sludge was 5.0%, as P releases and acetate uptake a ratio of 0.75 mg P/ mg HAc.

생물학적 슬러지를 대상으로 간헐포기 소화와 호기성 소화의 회분실험을 실시하였다. 생물학적 슬러지의 간헐포기 및 호기성 소화 초기단계에서 미생물의 감량은 주로 내생 호흡에 의해 이루어졌다. 이 단계에서 질소는 곧바로 용출되지 않고 슬러지내에 잔존함으로서 슬러지의 질소함량은 일시적으로 증가한다. 그러나 소화후반에서는 최초의 질소함량수준으로 다시 감소하였다. 34일간의 회분식 소화에서 호기성 소화의 총질소 제거효율은 0.1%로서 거의 제거가 안된 반면, 포기 비율 0.25, 05 및 0.75인 간헐포기 소화에서는 각각 42.7%, 42.5% 및 17.6%로 나타나 간헐포기 소화가 호기성 소화보다 질소 제거측면에서 우수하였다. VSS의 감소에 따라 슬러지내의 인도 수중으로 용출하였으나, 인 용출율은 VSS 감소율 보다 훨씬 낮았고 그 결과 소화슬러지의 인 함량은 지속적으로 증가하였다. 호기성 소화와 간헐포기 소화는 소화슬러지의 인 함량이 증가하는 공정이므로 반송수의 인 부하는 상대적으로 낮아지게 되고 이는 하수의 영양염류 제거측면에서 긍정적인 효과를 미칠 것으로 기대된다.

As the sequencing batch reactor process is a time-oriented system, it has advantages of the flexibility in operation for the biological nutrient removal. Because the sequencing batch reactor is operated in a batch system, respiration rate is more sensitive and obvious than in a continuous system. The variation of respiration rate in the process well represented the characteristics of biological reactions, especially nitrification. The respiration rate dropped rapidly and greatly with the completion of nitrification, and the maximum respiration rate of nitrification showed the activity of nitrifiers. This study suggested a strategy to control the aeration of the sequencing batch reactor based on respirometry. Aeration time of the optimal aerobic period required for nitrification was daily adjusted according to the dynamics of respiration rate. The aeration time was mainly correlated with influent nitrogen loadings. The anoxic period was extended through aeration control facilitating a longer endogenous denitrification reaction time. By respirometric aeration control in the sequencing batch reactor, energy saving and process performance improvement could be achieved.

As aeration is an energy-intensive process, its control has become more important to save energy and to meet strict effluent limits. In this study, predictive aeration control based on the respirometric method has been applied to the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process. The variation of the respiration rate by nitrification was great and obvious, so it could be a very useful parameter for the predictive aeration control. The maximum respiration rate due to nitrification was about 60 mg O₂/L·h and the maximum specific nitrification rate was about 7.5 mg N/g MLVSS·h. The aeration time of the following cycle of the SBR was daily adjusted in proportion to that which was previously determined based on the sudden decrease of respiration rate at the end of nitrification in the respirometer. The aeration time required for nitrification could be effectively predicted and it was closely related to influent nitrogen loadings. By the predictive aeration control the aerobic period of the SBR has been optimized, and energy saving and enhanced nitrogen removal could be obtained.

In this study, variations of the organic and nitrogenous compounds in wastewater were investigated in a single reactor with intermittent aeration. Over 90% of organic and nitrogen removals are accomplished with C/N ratio of 3 : 1 and 20/20 min of aeration/non-aeration period. Longer non-aeration period on the aeration/non-aeration cycle showed more stable nitrogen removal, showing various microbial community in the reactor. From PCR-DGGE analysis, it is conclusive that Dysgonomonas mossii strain Melo40, Eubacterium sp. oral clone JN088, Uncultured bacterium clone SPESB2_718, and Bacterium enrichment culture clone LE are related with the organics and nitrogen oxidation. Uncultured Acidobacteria bacterium clone AKYG487, Lactobacillus harbinensis strain FQ003, Erythrobacter litoralis strain Gi-3, Phytobacter diazotrophicus strain Ls8, and Mycobacterium sp. enrichment culture clone GE10037biofNNA are distinctly appeared under denitrification condition.

Anaerobic fill time and feeding pattern in SBR operation were investigated to find way of minimizing poor nitrogen removal efficiency in BNR process without external carbon addition. The three types of the modified SBR operations that were CO-SBR, IA-SBR, and SF-SBR were tested by lab-scale and pilot-scale SBR processes($2\;m^3/day$). In addition, practical equation for biological nitrogen removal was suggested and the equation considered the effect of ratio of fill volume over whole SBR volume and the ratio of step-feed in SBR. The denitrification efficiency of the SF-SBR was best among the three SBRs and followed by IA-SBR, and CO-SBR. The efficiency was 95%, 61%, and 19%, respectively. Looking at the change of sludge floc density by the length of anaerobic fill time, the density of sludge floc at 1 hour and 2 hours of anaerobic fill time were greater than 3 hours of one. The floc size distributions were $100{\sim}300\;{\mu}m$ and $200{\sim}400\;{\mu}m$ with respect to anaerobic fill time 2 hours and 3 hours, respectively.

Resident training is the process of training specialists with excellent competency. This study analyzed the intention of resident's training dropout and influencing factors by utilizing the results of a survey on the training and working environment of the residents conducted in April 2017. According to a multivariate logistic regression analysis of 1,748 residents, 340(19.5%) answered 'yes', 518(29.6%) 'normal', 890(50.9%) 'no'. Factors related to the dropout of training by residents were found to be whether the hospital was affiliated with a enterprise, training year, training hours, appropriate educational supervision and adequate of the training process. For a desirable Resident education and training, it is necessary to normalize of the resident's working environment, develop of a substantial training program, provide fair and systematic evaluation, and financial support.
