하수슬러지의 대부분은 생물학적 처리에 의한 미생물에 의해 분해 가능한 유기물질을 다량 함유하고 있는 유기성 폐기물이다. 기존의 하수슬러지 처리방법으로는 건조, 소각, 반탄화 그리고 탄화 등의 기술을 이용하여 감량화 및 연료화를 진행하고 있다. 그러나, 건조를 기반으로 하여 539kcal/kg의 잠열이 소비됨으로 에너지 소비가 높은 단점이 지적되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열화학적 처리인 수열탄화(HTC)를 통해 고형연료를 생산하고자 한다. 고형연료의 가치를 평가하기 위하여 탄화도 및 연료비의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 수열탄화 반응온도가 증가할수록 탄화도의 상승으로 저위발열량도 약 500kcal/kg 상승하였다. H/C, O/C, Ratio는 1.78, 0.46에서 1.57, 0.32로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 건조슬러지의 가연분(고정탄소+휘발분) 대비 회분(Ash)의 비율이 0.25 이상으로 나타날 경우는 수열탄화를 진행하여도 탄화도 및 발열량의 증가되지 않는다는 것을 도출하였다.

Micropollutants are often discharged to surface waters through untreated wastewater from sewage treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants. The presence of micropollutants in surface waters is a serious concern because surface water is usually provided to water treatment plants (WTP) to produce drinking water. Many micropollutants can withstand conventional WTP systems and stay in tap water. In particular, pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors are examples of micropollutants that are detected at the drinking water, ppb, or even ppb level. A variety of techniques and processes, especially advanced oxidation processes, have been applied to remove micropollutants from water to control drinking water contamination. This paper reviews recent researches on the occurrence and removal of micropollutants in the aquatic environments and during water treatment processes.

유입 하수의 성상은 하수처리장의 효율을 결정하는 중요한 요인이다. 따라서 하수의 성상을 이해하고 실시간으로 측정하는 기술은 유입 하수 성상에 상응하는 적절한 운전 전략을 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 2005년 10월 1일부터 11월 21일까지 대도시 하수종말처리장 유입 수문에서 두 시간 간격으로 하수를 채취하여 성상을 분석하였다. 그 결과 하수의 유량 및 구성성분의 농도가 1일 단위로 일정한 형태를 갖는 것으로 밝혀졌는데, 오전 11시와 1시 사이에 가장 높은 값을 보였고, 새벽 5시에서 7시 사이에 가장 낮은 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 상관관계 평가에서 300 nm에서 측정한 하수의 흡광도는 하수 구성성분의 농도와 매우 밀접한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 실시간 측정이 가능한 흡광도와 유량, 그리고 반복되는 하수 성상을 이용하여 구성성분의 농도를 추정하는 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 첫 번째로 흡광도와 구성성분의 농도와의 1차 회귀분석을 수행하였고, 두 번째로 흡광도와 하수 유량, 유입시간을 이용하여 훈련시킨 인공신경망을 이용하였다. 그 결과 두 방법 모두 하수 구성성분의 농도를 예측하는데 높은 정확성을 보였는데, 인공 신경망을 사용한 경우 예측값과 실측값의 RMSE(root mean square error) 값이 TSS의 경우 19.3에서 14.4, TCOD의 경우 26.7에서 25.1로, TN의 경우 5.4에서 4.1로, TP의 경우 0.45에서 0.39로 각각 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

In this research, a retrofitting process, which consists of a pretreatment system (coagulation) for dye wastewater combined with a biological nutrient system (MLE process using media), for a sewage treatment plant that has to treat dye wastewater efficiently with domestic wastewater were developed and a pilot plant was operated for verifying adoptability and performance of the developed advanced process for dye wastewater. From the results of the pilot plant operation, BOD 52.9%, $COD_{Cr}$ 55.9%, and color 71.3% were removed in pretreatment of coagulation process and the biodegradability of dye wastewater was improved to $0.32{\sim}0.59BOD/COD_{Cr}$ of the coagulated wastewater from $0.29{\sim}0.43BOD/COD_{Cr}$ of the raw dye wastewater. The final effluent concentrations were BOD of 8 mg/L, $COD_{Cr}$ of 43 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ of 18 mg/L, T-N of 8 mg/L, and T-P of 1.3 mg/L, respectively. Color was removed from 1655 to 468 unit by coagulation and then to 123 unit by MLE process. The HPLC analysis of aromatic amines in wastewater showed that decolorization was achieved by cometabolism while aromatic amines were produced by cleavage of azo bonds under anaerobic conditions and these products were removed in an aerobic tank subsequently. Nitrification rates of attached and suspended microorganisms were evaluated comparatively and the acclimating conditions of bacteria on media were validated by the scanning electron microscope.

본 연구에서는 막결합생물반응조(MBR)공법을 비롯한 하수고도처리공법에서 유입하수량의 변화에 따른 슬러지 특성 변화를 파악하고자 하였다. 일 1.5톤을 처리하는 모형실험시설에서 설계유량 대비 유입하수량을 100, 70, 40, 10%로 변화시켜가며 이에 따른 비탈질속도(specific denitrification rate)와 비질산화속도(specific ammonia oxidation rate)의 변화를 측정하였다. 각 공법의 폭기조에서 채취한 슬러지의 비질산화속도는 유입하수량 100% 조건에서 세 가지 공법 모두 유사한 값($0.10gNH_4/gMLVSS/day$)으로 측정되었다. 유입하수량이 70%에서 40%로 감소함에 따라 비질산화속도가 크게 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 비탈질속도 역시 유입하수량이 감소함에 따라 최대 50%가량 감소하였다. 유입하수량이 감소할수록 비탈질속도와 비질산화속도가 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으나 원수의 총질소 농도와 반응조 내 미생물 농도를 고려하면 질소제거율에 영향을 미칠 정도는 아니었다. 따라서 유입하수량이 감소하는 경우에도 반응조 내 미생물 농도를 높게 유지할 수 있다면 안정적인 질소 제거가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

As sewerage works has become one of the major public works in Korea, the employment of advanced and more appropriate sewerage technology has become essential to improve the efficiency of sewerage works. During last 10 years, the Korean Government has made tremendous amount of investment on sewerage works so that treatment plants in 58 cities have treatment capacity which is equivalent to 52.8% of total daily sewage generation in Korea. This remarkable development, however, has heavily depended on one technology, the conventional activated sludge process as more than 95% of the existing plants employ this process, Recently, the Korean Government and local authorities have plans to introduce more appropriate sewage treatment technologies and research and development in this area has become very active. To encourage employing new and appropriate technologies, however, the proper technology evaluation and verification program for new process is needed. The public sector should play a key role in this program since the sewerage works is one of the major public works. In this paper, the technology evaluation and verification programs related with sewerage facilities in the US and Japan are briefly reviewed. The Innovatived and Alternative Technology programs which was operated by US EPA until recently and Environmental Technology Verification(ETV) program which was commenced in 1995 are introduced. The technology verification programs operated in Japan and also in Korea are also reviewed in this paper to propose a future direction for development of the appropriate evaluation and verification system.

Small size privately owned wastewater treatment plants have been difficult to treat their wasted sludge and maintain steady effluent quality compared with publicly owned wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, this study has focused on treatment efficiency enhancement, specially nitrogen removal efficiency by recycling dewatering filtrate as an alkalinity additive from filter press using $CaCO_3$. As the result, it was found that the optimal mixing ratio between the excess sludge and $CaCO_3$ was 1:2. The major operation parameters such as specific substrate utilization rate, specific nitrification rate, and specific denitrification rate were also improved 64% ($0.048-0.079mg\;BOD_5/mg\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$), 35% ($0.020-0.027mg\;NH_3-N/mg\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$) and 68% ($0.051-0.086mg\;NO_3{^-}-N/mg\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$), respectively, after the adoption of new methods. Therefore, both the problem of sludge treatment at small scale plants and the need for efficiency improvement could be solved.

In this study, the major operating factors in SND(simultaneous nitrification and denitrification) using bioreactor packed with submerged cilia media and granular sulfur such as variation of nitrification rate, organic matter removal efficiency and denitrification efficiency in different DO concentration were mainly evaluated. Synthetic wastewater and actual sewage were used as influent wastewater. Experiment with synthetic wastewater as influent wastewater was divided into three phases with the adjustment of DO concentration. As the results, nitrification efficiency and T-N removal efficiency in the Phase 3(DO 1.0~2.0 mg/L) were 99% and 52.3%, which is significantly greater than those in other two phases. Also, loading rate and denitrification efficiency of SCPGS(Submerged Cilia media Packed with Granular Sulfur) were calculated as $0.44kg\;NO_3^--N/m^3-day$ and 50%, respectively. On the other hand, nitrification rate was decreased from 99% to 64% according to the DO concentration with the variation from 3.0~3.5 mg/L(phase1) to 0.4~0.6mg/L(phase2). Although the nitrification rate was decreased in 64% according to the variation of the DO concentration, T-N removal rate was rapidly increased to 49% by increasing of the denitrification efficiency. Experiment with actual sewage as influent wastewater was carried out to evaluate efficiency of SCPGS in real operation condition of full-scale sewage water treatment plant. At the time, T-N removal rate in this experiment and full-scale wastewater treatment plants were given by 43% and 20%, respectively. The above results indicate that SCPGS can be used as an advanced treatment process for economical efficiency considered.

In this paper, the removal characteristics of dissolved organic carbon (DOCs) by micro bubble ozonation process and $O_3/UV$ process were comparatively studied. In the point of DOC removing reaction coefficient, micro bubble ozonation system and $O_3/UV$ process had not significant difference, $0.0120sec^{-1}$ and $0.0141sec^{-1}$. Therefore micro bubble ozonation process is more suitable for tertiary treatment of sewage in the point of installation and maintenance cost-reducing. The optimum ozone injection rate was 2.0 g $O_3/g$ DOC and HRT was 3 min for the micro bubble ozonation process. The removal efficiency of DOC and SUVA in micro bubble ozonation system was 32.8% and 58.3% respective. Biological aerated filter (BAF) process was installed to remove soluble organic material increased by micro bubble ozonation system. And the effluent BOD of BAF was below 1.0 mg/L. In the view of cost-effectiveness, $O_3/BAF$ process was more profitable than $O_3/UV/BAF$ process for tertiary treatment of sewage. In order to nitrify ammonia in the BAF process completely, $NH_4{^+}-N$ concentration in the influent water of BAF should be designed considering low water temperature in the winter season.
