Air-drived rotating biological contactor (RBC) system, which is effective method in filtering performance, was tested for the nitrification capacity in a recirculating system. At ammonia concentrations between 0.029 and 0.528 mg/l, the effect of ammonia loading rate on ammonia removal rate at three different hydraulic loading rates could be defined by the following first­order regression models: Hydraulic loading rate of $14.8 m^3/m^3/day:\;y=39.2\times+3.4 (r^2=0.9137)$, Hydraulic loading rate of $26.5 m^3/m^3/day: y=53.3\times+4.0 (r^2=0.8686)$, Hydraulic loading rate of $37.3 m^3/m^3/day: y=58.4\times+4.2 (r^2=0.7755)$, where, $\times$ is ammonia loading rate (mg/l), y is ammonia removal rate $(g/m^3/day)$, The equations showed the optimal ammonia removal rate at the hydraulic loading rate of $26.5m^3/m^3/day$. Below the ammonia concentration of 2.72 mg/l, first-order regression models between ammonia loading rate and ammonia removal rate at three different rates of speed are defined as follows: Rotational speed of $0.75 rpm: y=28.5\times+4.7 (r^2=0.9143)$, Rotational speed of $1.0 rpm: y=33.6\times+8.4 (r^2=0.9534)$, Rotational speed of $2.0 rpm: y=28.9\times+3.6 (r^2=0.9488)$, where, x is ammonia loading rate (mg/l), y is ammonia removal rate $(g/m^3day)$. The equations show the ammonia removal rate at the rotational speed of 1.0 rpm is significantly higher than that at the rotational speed of either 0.75 rpm or 2.0 rpm (P<0.05).

This study was carried out to obtain the optimal ammonia removal efficiency using pyroligenous liquid for the economical and environment-friendly odor removal at a petty livestock farmhouse. The ammonia removal efficiencies were evaluated due to changing dilution rates(${\times}$10, ${\times}$20, ${\times}$30, ${\times}$50 and ${\times}$100 times) and different spray amounts(10$m\ell$ and 20$m\ell$) of pyroligenous liquid. The wet scrubber device was used to remove odor in closed-type livestock farmhouse. According to dilution rate of the pyroligenous liquid, the optimum rate was 20 times and the removal efficiency increased by decreasing dilution rates. In the case of spray amounts with the optimum dilution, the amount was 20 me and the removal efficiency increased by increasing spray amount. Also, the removal efficiency by using wet deodorizing device was 83.0-97.0％ with 20 times diluted liquid.

Total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) removal efficiencies of a sand filter (SF), polystyrene microbead filter (PF), and Kaldnes bead filter (KF) media were evaluated under ammonia loading rates of 5, 25, and 50 g $m^{-3}day^{-1}$. The volume of each filter media tested was 7 L, and the water flow rate for all filter media was 24 L/min. The specific surface areas of the SF, PF, and KF were 7,836, 3,287, and 500 $m^2/m^3$, respectively. Sand was fluidized and the other two media were trickle filtered. The volumetric TAN removal rate increased with increasing ammonia loading rate for all filter media. Mean volumetric TAN removal rates under the ammonia loading rates of 5, 25, and 50 g $m^{-3}day^{-1}$ in SF (39.3, 168.6, and 322.7 g $m^{-3}day^{-1}$, respectively) were higher than those in PF (35.0, 157.4, and 310.5 g $m^{-3}day^{-1}$, respectively) and KF (32.1, 142.5, and 288.1 g $m^{-3}day^{-1}$, respectively). These results were related to differences in the specific surface areas of the filter media. PF was the most economic media for efficiently removing TAN.

Aerated submerged bio-film (ASBF) pilot plant has been developed. The presented studies optimized an inexpensive method of enhanced wastewater treatment. The objectives of this research were to describe pilot scale experiments for efficient removal of dissolved organic and nitrogen compounds by using ASBF reactor in plug-flow reactor (PFR) and improve understanding of dissolved organic matter and nitrogen compounds removal rates with dynamic relationships between heterotrophs and autotrophs in the fixed-film reactor. This research explores the possibility of enhancing the performance of shallow wastewater treatment lagoons through the addition of specially designed structures. This direct gas-phase contact should increase the oxygen transfer rate into the bio-film, as well as increase the micro-climate mixing of water, nutrients, and waste products into and out of the bio-film. This research also investigated the efficiency of dissolved organic matter and ammonia nitrogen removals in the ASBF. As it was anticipated, nitrification activity was highest during periods when the flow rate was lower, but it seemed to decline during times when the flow rate was highest. And ammonia nitrogen removal rates were more sensitive than dissolved organic matter removal rates when flow rates exceeded 2.2 L/min.

회전원판식 해수 여과시스템에서 암모니아성 질소 부하율과 수리학적 부하량이 암모니아 제거율에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 일련의 실험을 실시하였다. 이 실험에서 회전원판 시스템은 폴리비닐필름 원판으로 여과조를 제작하였는데, 여과조의 표면적은 $12m^2$으로 용적은 $0.075m^3$이다. 회전원판식 시스템에서 암모니아성 질소부하율에 따른 암모니아 제거율을 조사하기 위하여 암모니아원으로 염화암모늄을 $10{\~}150 g$ 첨가하였다. 회전원판식 순환여과 사육시스템의 사육수에 암모니아원으로 염화암모늄을 $10{\~}150 g$ 투입하여 사육수의 암모니아 농도 (x: NH_4-N mg/l)에 따라 회전원판 여과조에서의 암모니아 제거에 필요한 시간 (y: hr)을 조사하였으며, 그 관계식은 다음과 같았다. $y=3.51+7.76 lnx (r^2=0.936)$사육수의 암모니아 농도가 2mg/l일 때 회전원판 여과사육 시스템에서 암모니아 제거에 소요되는 시간은 10시간이었으나, 암모니아 농도가 5와 16.5mg/l에서는 각각 16과 27시간이 소요되었다. 따라서 사육수의 암모니아 농도가 높아질수록 암모니아 제거에 소요되는 시간이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 회전원판 여과 사육시스템의 최대 암모니아 제거율은 사육수의 암모니아 농도가 16.5 mg/l까지 상승함에 따라 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Packed-bed reactor for removing ammonia was tested at different loading rates. Nitrifiers for ammonia removing was encapsulated in gel media which consisted of polyethlene glycol, alginate and activated carbon. The removal efficiency was nearly 100% when ammonia loading was $12g/m^3/hr$, and the maximum elimination capacity (EC) achieved on this study was $18g/m^3/hr$. The initial microbial portion of nitrifiers in the media was about 82% and it was increased to more than 90% at the end of the operation. Short-term shock loading test was carried out to survey the stability of the media. The inlet loading rates were varied from 2 to $20g/m^3/hr$. The packed-bed reactor overcame the shock loading i.e. removal efficiency recovered rapidly from about 80% to almost 100% within 6 hrs. The results of Live/Dead cell test showed that nitrifiers maintained there activity in the encapsulated media during the test and also against ammonia shock load.

본 연구에서는 하수처리장의 소화슬러지(digest sludge)를 대상으로 악취제거 및 유기물제거에 대한 타당성을 검토하고자 BIO-CLOD를 넣은 반응조와 넣지 않은 반응조에 대하여 24시간, 48시간, 72시간 후 ammonia, methyl mercaptan(MMC) 및 $H_2S$에 대해서 측정하였다. BIO-CLOD를 침적시킨 반응조(BIO-CLOD)에서 24시간 내에 ammonia는 48%인 것에 비해 $H_2S$와 MMC는 98%이상의 높은 제거율을 보인 반면에 BIO-CLOD를 침적시키지 않은 반응조(Non BIO-CLOD)에서는 24시간 내에 ammonia가 45%, $H_2S$는 71%, MMC는 84%로서 악취제거 가능성을 보였다. 암모니아 농도는 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하면서 질산성질소농도는 증가하는 질산화 현상을 보였으며, 소화슬러지내의 유황계 악취성분들이 호기성 미생물들에 의해 산화 분해되어 용액 중의 황산염농도를 증가시키는 데는 BIO-CLOD효과가 있었음을 알 수 있었으며, 황산염농도증가와 대기중의 $H_2S$ 제거율간에는 상관관계가 있음을 알수 있었다. 반응조 유출수에서 유기물의 감소는 짧은 시간 내에서는 BIO-CLOD가 영향을 주지 않았으며, HRT 12시간과 HRT 24시간으로 운전하였을 때 경제적인 면에서 HRT 12시간을 고려해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

The floating bead filter was tested for treatment of aquacultural water in a pilot-scale recirculating aquaculture system. Performance of floating bead filter on the removal of total suspended solids (TSS) and the treatment of nitrogen sourer such as total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen were evaluated. The system was stocked with Nile tilapia at an initial rearing densities of $5\%\;and\;7\%$ over 30 days. The average TSS removal rates were $43.0\;g/m^2{\cdot}day\;and\;39.5\;g/m^2{\cdot}day$ for rearing density of $5\%\;and\;7\%$, respectively. As rearing density increased from $5\%\;to\;7\%$. the TAN removal efficiency decreased from $22.0\%\;to\;17.7\%$. At the rearing densities of $5\%\;and\;7\%$, the average TAN removal rates and removal efficiencies were $38.8\;g/m^2{\cdot}day,\;15.6\%\;and\;37.8\;g/m^2{\cdot}day.\;17.7\%,$ respectively. The average TAN removal rate was $37.8-38.8\;g/m^3{\cdot}day.$ The oxygen consumption by floating bead filter was higher than theoretical oxygen consumption rate by nitrification.
