A quantitative survey of the protozoa microfauna at two advanced wastewater treatment plants has been carried out on a weekly basis. The abundance of the protozoa were compared with operating parameters and effluent quality using statistical procedures. The protozoa distribution indicated it seemed the composition of the influent wastewater and operating conditions of plant influenced the structure of protozoa in the plant. In statistical analysis, the distribution of protozoa showed the present operating condition of plant and predicted near-future effluent qualify. Enough data concerning protozoa, operating parameters and effluent has been gathered, the operator has a valuable tool for predicting plant performance and near-future data of effluent based on microscopic examination. Perhaps more importantly it can be used to actually control the plant to adjust the operating conditions to obtain the protozoal populations that have been shown to provide the best effluent quality.

In this study, biological activity in activated sludge process for pharmaceutical wastewater was analyzed by using respirometer. For various amounts of BOD loadings. oxygen uptake rate was measured and kinetic paramelers were evaluated. By repetition of experiments, optimal operating conditions (eg. MLSS. BOD loadings. oxygen concentration, etc) were decided for the enhancement of activated sludge process.

최근 광대역 통합망의 급속한 발전을 통해 각종 센서 정보의 실시간 수집 및 관리가 가능함에 따라 안정적이고 효율적인 기술에 대한 수요가 높아지고 있다. 한편 하 폐수 처리시설을 포함한 Smart Water Grid에서도 광대역 통합망 기반의 신기술을 융합한 실용화 및 기술개발의 필요성을 제시하고 있다. 기존 광대역망 관련 기술에서는 개별적이고 단일화된 네트워크망을 구성하고 있을 뿐 통합화 및 최적화에 대한 고려는 되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하 폐수 처리시설에서 효과적인 광대역 통합망 구성을 위한 Wifi 및 Zigbee 스위칭 기반의 모뎀기술을 제안하였으며, 핵심기술을 토대로 판교 하 폐수 처리시설에 관련 테스트 베드를 구축하고 데이터 송수신 기능을 확인함으로써 제안한 시스템의 유용성을 입증하였다.

Due to the negative impacts of microplastics (MPs) on the ecosystem, the investigation of its occurrence and its treatment from sewage and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have received a lot of attention in the recent years. Most MPs are precipitated and removed with the sludge during the treatment process. Proper sludge management is immensely necessary to avoid MP exposure in the environment. However, the domestic research on this aspect is limited. This study reviews appropriate sludge management approaches to decrease environmental MP exposure. This can be achieved through investigating sludge generation and treatment, regulation laws and government policy trends with an emphasis on WWTPs. The ratio of sludge in sewage treatment plants has been observed to be highest in recycling followed by incineration and landfills. Recycling is the highest in fuel followed by construction materials and composting. For WWTPs, the highest ratio is in recycling followed by fuel and landfills, and recycling is confirmed in the following order: incineration > after composting > after solidification > earthworm breeding. Treatment approaches that can increase the exposure of MPs to the ecosystem are considered to be used in landfills and agricultural fields. However, this method is not appropriate given the insufficient capacity of domestic landfills and the sufficient supply of existing chemical and animal manure fertilizers. Instead, it would be rational in terms of environmental preservation to expand the use of fuel and energy in connection with the new and renewable energy policy, and to actively seek the use of sub-materials for construction materials. In order to secure the basic data for the effectiveness of future planning and revision of related laws, it is required to perform an in-depth investigation of the sludge supply and demand status along with the environmental and economic effects.

In order to evaluate the levels and distribution patterns, the concentrations of PAHs and chlorophenols were investigated in sludge samples discharged from 6 WWTPs located along Nak-dong river and 7 STPs in Busan, Korea. Levels of 16 PAHs and 19 chlorophenols in sludge samples ranged from 1.28 to 44.9 mg/kg dry wt. and from 213 to 3,850 $\mu$g/kg dry wt., respectively. Levels of PAHs in sludge samples except I5 and S4 were detected lower than those of previous studies. The distribution patterns of PAHs and chlorophenols varied with industrial wastewater sludge samples because industrial wastewater sludge had different industrial input sources. However, the distribution patterns of PAHs and chlorophenols in sewage sludge were pretty similar. Phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene were dominant and the fractions of these 3 PAHs relative to 16 PAHs in sewage sludge ranged from 30.8 to 50.7%. 2-chlorophenol is dominated in most sewage sludge samples and the fraction ranged from 36.0 to 66.8%.

Over the past decade, an increasing number of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) have been incorporated into products and manufacturing processes due to the rapid innovation and commercialization in the field of nanotechnology. In addition, these nanomaterials and nano-consumer products have increased in quantity per year, and thus their uncontrolled release into the environment is anticipated to grow dramatically in future. However, A current sewage/wastewater treatment plant (SWTP) is being applied to removal of nanoparticles in wastewater. In Korea, the study on the removal of nanoparticles in SWTP was not reported yet. Therefore, in this work, to design pilot STP before field test, two model equations and commercial process simulation were used to derive the desing parameters.

Objectives in this study are to stabilize the organic sludges which were produced from papermill wastewater, nightsoil treatment facilities and utilized as foods for earthworm, to find the method for using the cast which was orginated by earthworm as fertilizer, and ultimately to develop the practical technique to solve the environmental problems by optimization of wastes treatment. The results of this study were summarized as follows. In the investigation for fertilizer effect of cast, germination rates of cucumber, tomato, and cabbage were investigated. The germination status of 3 types of plants was excellent as over 90% in the combination case of 30-45% cast. In the investigation for fertilizer effect of cast derived from nightsoil sludge, the growing status of cucumber, tomato, and cabbage was excellent in the combination case of 30-45% cast. In the experiment for fertilizer effect investigation of cast derived from papermill sludge, the growing status of cucumber, tomato, and cabbage was excellent in the combination case of 30-45% cast. Also, in the combination case of 60% cast, plants growth was not disturbed.
