Comparative thickening and dewatering characteristics of municipal wastewater sludge were investigated in terms of separated and combined treatment of primary and secondary BNR sludge. Also, various conditioning methods such as cation polymer addition, steam and ultrasonication treatment were examined to improve dewaterability of sludge. The dewaterability was measured by using specific resistant test, wedge zone simulator and centrifuge. The result of the sludge thickening test revealed that separated thickening was better in terms of solids recovery and supernatant quality. Particularly, the thickening of primary sludge with high solids (about 3.5% TS) showed very poor solid separation. The addition of cation polymer showed better conditioning characteristic for dewatering and the optimal polymer dosage was 0.26% for primary sludge, 0.43% for secondary sludge and 0.38% for combined sludge. Contrary to the result of the thickening, the dewatering test revealed that dewatering of the combined sludge is better than that of separated sludge, representing better solids separation and filtrate quality. The polymer addition was essential to improve dewaterability in filter (belt) press type dewatering but it was inefficient for the dewatering of secondary sludge only. The centrifuge type dewatering showed better performance and the dewaterability was slightly improved when the polymer was added. Based on the results of this research a sustainable sludge treatment process, particularly in terms of the recycle water quality and solids recovery, was proposed.

For the case of the capacity increase of Masan-Changwon wastewater treatment plant, the changes of near-field dilution rates due to the increased discharges into Masan Bay from the submerged multipart-diffuser were predicted by using CORMIX model. As the increase of wastewater discharges from currently 280,000 m3f day to 720,000 m3fday by 2011, the dilution rates become much lower than the present rates. To enhance the reduced dilution rates, the engineering design changes of diffuser length and alignment were considered as an optimal engineering option. According to the results of the model simulations for these changes, the dilution rates were increased in the strong ambient current of spring tide, but they were not affected by these changes in the weak current of neap tide in Masan Bay. From the analysis of oceanographic survey data, new outfalls sites have been searched. A promising outfalls site is selected and proposed on the basis of maximum obtainable dilution rates predicted by the model simulations.

Floodplain areas of major South Korean rivers were determined by analyzing topographical maps and hydraulic properties of floodplain soil were measured using disc tension infiltrometer. To assess the possibility of treating secondary effluents of municipal wastewater with floodplain soil, a computer code for the analysis of unsaturated flow in soil was employed along with searches conducted in the literature. Based on the data generated, an estimate of total floodplain filtration capacity in Korea was obtained. The results of our study reveal that Korean floodplains have surface soil that is adequate for treating water. Moreover, the distributions of floodplains are substantial over the entire reaches of the rivers, indicating that the conditions are favorable for floodplain filtration as additional treatment of secondary effluent. The capacity of floodplain filtration in Korea is circa 182,000,000 $m^3$/day and most of the rivers are estimated to have enough capacity of floodplain filtration to meet all the secondary effluent, indicating that this technology may be expected to make further improvements on river water quality. Furthermore, this method may also be applied to better the source-water quality for drinking water.

전 세계적으로 기후변화로 인해 재난이 빈번히 대형화되고 있으며, 하수처리장과 같은 대형시설물도 자연재해의 위험성이 커지고 침수피해를 받을 확률이 높아지고 있다. 실제로 최근까지 청주 산단 폐수종말처리장, 평택 장당 하수처리장, 광주/곤지암 하수처리장 등이 폭우로 침수돼 가동이 중단되는 사태가 벌어졌다. 하수처리장이 침수될 경우 시설 자체의 1차적 피해도 문제가 되지만, 처리되지 못한 오염물질이 하천으로 흘러 들어가는 2차 피해가 더더욱 문제가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 문제가 발생하기 전에 집중호우 시 각 시설의 취약성을 사전 평가하여 침수 피해를 대비하고, 평가 내용에 따라 침수 피해 사전·사후 대응을 위한 체계, 방법론을 구축, 제시함으로써 침수피해를 최소화하고자 한다. 침수피해의 취약성을 평가하기 위한 기준으로는 시설물의 침수방지를 위한 건물 턱의 높이, 하수처리시설 인근 제방의 유무, 구조적 홍수방어시설 유무, 침수 발생 시 가장 취약한 전력 설비 시설의 위치 및 피해 대책 등 실질적으로 측정 가능한 구조적 요소를 고려하며, 재난대응 매뉴얼 정비, 사전 재난훈련 수행 등 비 구조적인 측면으로도 접근하여 취약성 평가 지표를 도출하고자 한다.

본 연구는 근원에 따른 용존 유기물의 특성을 평가하기 위해 하천수, 호소수, 하수 2차 처리 유출수의 자연수 및 Aldrich, Wako 사에서 공급된 휴믹산을 대상으로 분자량 분포에 따른 물리 화학적인 수질 특성, 생분해도, 소독, 부산물의 생성 등을 고찰하였다. SUVA를 이용해서 자연수의 생분해 가능성을 평가한 결과 호소수, 하수, 하천수 순으로 예측되었으며 이는, 실제 생분해도 실험 결과와 유사하였다 생분해 반응 중 저분자 영역대의 용존 유기물은 점차 감소하였고 반면에 고분자 영역대의 용존 유기물은 증가하였다. SMP는 전체 용존 유기물의 0.7-5.5%정도 관찰되었으며 고분자 물질을 많이 함유한 시료에서 높게 나타났다. THM 생성은 대체로 고분자 물질이 높을수록 증가하였으며 THMFP도 Wako 휴믹산을 제외한 샘플에서 이와 유사한 경향을 나타냈다.

This reserch was focused upon experimental study for wastewater reuse and conducted to evaluate optimum operating conditions of rapid filtration process such as filter flow rate, filtration time and backwashing condition for reuse of secondary-treated effluent using the pilot plant installed in real wastewater treatment plant. Also, the experiment on treatment char-acteristics of coagulant-added activated sludge process was performed to compare with activated sludge succeeded to rapid filtration. As the filtration velocity was 100m/day, the filtration time of the rapid filter connected with activated sludge system was revealed to 40 hours. Backwashing of filter was conducted by water wash and air scour. The optimum backwashing time and backwash flow rate were 10min and 10LPM, respectively. The quantity of backwashing water of the rapid filter was about 2% of total treated water.

폐수의 형태 및 성장과 막의 특성에 의해 한외여과는 처리수의 직접배출 또는 재 이용을 위해 사용되고 있다. 일본의 Masuda등은 1축 RDM을 사용하여 순수에서 회전에 따른 압력 강하를 관찰하고, 또 도시 하수처리 공정의 활성슬러지를 분리하기 위해 Aqua Renaissance '90프로젝트의 일환으로 도시 하수처리에 2축 RDM이 사용되었다. 동력학적 여과의 투과모델은 김제우 등에 의해 정립된 식을 이용하여 동력학적 여과기의 투과율(J)은 일반적으로 유효압력차($\DeltaP_T$), 벌크의 농도($C_B$) 그리고 회전속도 등에 의해 결정되어진다. 기존에 제시된 회전원판 모듈의 순수 투과에서 permeate side의 저항(Rp)값은 막자체의 저항(Rm)에 비해 상대적 작아 무시되었다. 본 연구는 1축 RDM 한외여과에서 투과율에 영향을 미치는 저항(R)에서 판자체에 변형을 주어 permeate side에서 저항(Rp)에 대한 영향에 관하여 연구를 수행하였다.

A sewage was treated using a horizontal flow zeolite-filled reed bed. The sewage from the student dormitory of Changwon National University was fed into the reed bed for 10 minutes every 6 hours at the hydraulic load of $314L/m^2$ day. The filtering height of the reed bed was 100 cm and the zeolite mixture was filled in the reed bed. The mixture consisted of the same volume of two types of zeolite : $0.5{\sim}1mm$ and $1{\sim}3mm$ in diameter. Annual average removal efficiency was SS $88.5%,\;COD_{cr},\;86.1%,\;COD_{Mn}\;81.0%,\;T-N\;48.6%,\;NH_4^+-N\;97.1%$ and T-P 42.8%. T-N of effluent was mostly $NO_3^--N$ and the concentration of $NO_2^--N$ in effluent was lower than 0.1 mg/L. All removal efficiencies did not show a remarkable seasonal change.

1) 우리나라의 하수슬러지 해양투기량은 발생량의 73%를 상회하고 있으며 최근에 급증하는 추세에 있다. 2) 슬러지를 비롯하여 해양에 투기된 유해성분은 해양생물권 오염도 증가의 큰 요인으로 작용하고 있었다. 3) 해양에 투기된 하수슬러지가 침강하여 퇴적층을 형성하였을 때 저서생태계에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 가능성은 아주 높았다. 4) 슬러지의 중금속 화학형태 분석 결과 생물이 이용 가능한 중금속 비율이 원소에 따라 차이는 있으나 총 함량의 80% 이상을 차지하는 경우도 있었다. 5) 해양생물권의 오염도 증가, 유해성분에 의한 생태계의 악영향 및 투기된 중금속의 높은 생물 이용 가능성 등을 고려할 때 하수슬러지 처리방법의 전환이 필요하였다.

In the present study, the feasibility of $UV/H_2O_2$ systems was investigated using low and medium-pressure lamps on biologically treated wastewater effluents for secondary effluent reclamation. Two types of UV lamps were used as the light sources (a 39-W low-pressure mercury lamp and a 350-W medium-pressure mercury lamp). The results from these UV systems showed that the removal of organic compounds could be achieved in the contact time of longer than 30min (i.e., low UV doses). Efficiencies of color removal and disinfection were far better than those of organic matters measured as TOC, DOC and $TCOD_{cr}$. In the low-pressure lamp UV system, it has been found that DOC and color removals were 60.9 and 86.2% with 50mg/L of $H_2O_2$ and contact times of 30 minute, respectively. Whereas, with the medium-pressure lamp UV system, TOC, DOC and color removal were 27.1, 5.6 and 95% with 14.3mg/L of $H_2O_2$ and 14 minute of contact times, respectively. Both systems could be applied for the reclamation of secondary effluent treated with biological treatment processes.
