Anaerobic digestion has recently attracted all over the world and Korea also shows no exception. The major benefits of anaerobic digestion are energy production, water pollution control, pathogen reduction and effective manure production. In Korea it was recognized in late sixties that there was a positive need to find alternative energy for farmers household. The main traditional energy sources in rural area were crop residues and forestry products. Therefore Office of Rural Development through its Rural Guidance Bureau disseminated about 29,000 household biogas units from 1969 to 1975 to provide cooking fuel for farmers household and to improve the mode of farmers living standards. The units were welcomed by farmers at that time. Now, however, most of them are not using due to a number of reasons associated with cold winter and some techno-economical problems (in those day, fossil fuel was quite expensive to compare with other prices and since then farmers income was quickly increased). The author studied on bag type household biogas plant to solve some technical problems of existing household biogas plants, but this also has little appeal for the farmers. From 1977 author studied on village scale biogas plant with two pilot plants. From the viewpoint of energy production, COD removal, kill rate of pathogen and fertilizer value, the results obtained from the experiments were quite promising, but the construction cost of the village scale biogas plant was too high for the farmers in Korea. To find most suitable biogas plant for farmers in Korea through the simplifying the biogas digester, the author developed batch-load biogas plant. By feeding coarse crop residues and manures, total solids concentrations of the batch-load biogas plant are about 28 percent which is much higher than continous digester of 5-8 percent. The batch-load biogas plant was welcomed by many farmers in Korea when it was reported on TV and newspapers. The plant was disseminated 154 units in 1982, 766 units in 1983 and 812 units in 1984 as a promissing project. Besides these biogas plant experiments, studies were also conducted 1) to determine gas production rate with agricultural wastes, 2) to evaluate the effect of loading rate, dilution, retention time on biogas production, 3) to project the amount of potencial energy from agricultural wastes.

This paper deals with an industrial application of a fuzzy feedback combined learning control to an industrial batch free radical polymerization reactor. As a result, the plant has reduced the batch reaction time by 50 minute and stabilized both by 40 percent reduction of the standard deviations of product qualities, such as the total solid content and the graft gum, and by 45 percent reduction of the standard deviation of the batch reaction end time.

A perfusion culture of transgenic Nicotiana tabacum cell suspensions, transformed to express recombinant glucuronidase (GUS), was successfully performed in a 5-1 stirred tank bioreactor. With 0.1 $day^{-1}$ of perfusion rate, the maximum dry cell weight (DCW) reached to 29.5 g/l in 16 days, which was 2.1-fold higher than the obtained in batch culture (14.3 g/l). In terms of the production of GUS, the volumetric activity could be increased up to 12.8 U/ml by using perfusion, compared with 4.9 U/ml in batch culture. The specific GUS activities in both perfusion and batch cultures were maintained at similar levels, 200-400 U/g DCW. Consequently, a perfusion culture could be a good strategy for the enhanced production of recombinant proteins in a plant cell culture system.

The purpose of this study is to find the analytic solution for determining the optimal capacity (lot-size) of a batch-storage network to meet the finished product demand under infrequent shutdowns. Batch processes are bound to experience random but infrequent operating time losses. Two common remedies for these failures are duplicating another process or increasing the process and storage capacity, both of which are very costly in modern manufacturing systems. An optimization model minimizing the total cost composed of setup and inventory holding costs as well as the capital costs of constructing processes and storage units is pursued with the framework of a batch-storage network of which flows are susceptible to infrequent shutdowns. The superstructure of the plant consists of a network of serially and/or parallel interlinked batch processes and storage units. The processes transform a set of feedstock materials into another set of products with constant conversion factors.A novel production and inventory analysis method, the PSW (Periodic Square Wave) model, is applied. The advantage of the PSW model stems from the fact it provides a set of simple analytic solutions in spite of a realistic description of the material flow between processes and storage units. The resulting simple analytic solution can greatly enhance a proper and quick investment decision at the early plant design stagewhen confronted with diverse economic situations.

Seeds of neem were collected from different parts of India and analyzed for their azadirachtin content by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In order to assess the effects of genotypic and geographical variation on azadirachtin content in cell cultures, callus development was attempted in the seeds containing high and low concentration of azadirachtin. The concentration of azadirachtin in callus cultures was significantly affected by the explant source. Seed kernels with higher azadirachtin content produced higher azadirachtin content in callus cultures and lower azadirachtin content was seen in callus cultures produced from seed kernels with low azadirachtin content. The protocol for development of elite stock culture of Azadirachta indica was established with the objective of selecting a high azadirachtin-producing cell line. The highest azadirachtin-producing cell line was selected and the effects of different media and illumination conditions on growth and azadirachtin production were studied in shake flask suspension culture. Detailed batch growth kinetics was also established. These studies provided elite starter culture and associated protocols for cultivation of A. indica plant cell culture in the bioreactor.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the operational characteristics of wastewater treatment using Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) with Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) separator in the pilot plant. Pilot plant experiments were conducted using SBR with AGS separator and pollution removal efficiencies were evaluated based on the operational condition and surface properties of AGS. The results of the operation on water quality of the effluent showed that the average concentration of total organic carbon, suspended solids, nitrogen, and phosphorus was 6.89 mg/L, 7.33 mg/L, 7.33 mg/L, and 0.2 mg/L, respectively. All these concentrations complied the effluent standard in Korea. The concentration of mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) fluctuated, but the AGS/MLSS ratio was constant at 86.5±1.3%. Although the AGS/MLSS ratio was constant, sludge volume index improved. These results suggested that the particle discharged fine sludge and increased the AGS praticle size in the AGS. Optical microscopy revealed the presence of dense AGS at the end of the operation, and particles of > 0.6 mm were found. Compared to those of belt-type AGS separator, the required area and power consumption of the hydrocyclone-type AGS separator were reduced by 27.5% and 83.8%, respectively.

인삼은 다년생 식물로 종자 번식을 하는데, 수확 시 미성숙한 배(embryo)를 가지고 있어 후숙이 필요하다. 기후변화에 대비하고 안정적인 종자 보급을 위해서는 단기 및 장기간 대량으로 종자를 저장할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 2개 지역에서 얻은 개갑된 인삼 종자를 수분함량을 달리하여 -3.5℃에 보관하고, 저장 3, 15, 27개월 후에 유근과 지상부 출현을 관찰하여 발아력 검정을 통해 종자 저장성을 조사하였다. 3개월 후, 전반적으로 batch #1보다 batch #2에서 발아율이 높았고, 그리고 수분함량이 35% 이상에서만 발아가 원활하였다. 15개월 후, batch #2에서 수분함량이 45~54%인 부분 건조된 종자들에서 가장 높은 발아율을 보였고, 대부분의 무건조 종자는 부패하며 발아에 실패하였다. 수분함량 25% 이하로 건조된 종자들 역시 유근발아 또는 출아가 불량하였다. 부분 건조 종자들은 토양에서의 발아 및 생육도 우수하였지만, 1년 뒤에는 역시 활력을 유지하지 못하였다. 요약하면, 인삼 종자는 온대성 난저장 종자의 특성을 가지는 것으로 보이며, 부분 건조 조건에서는 종자의 수명을 연장할 수 있어 1년 정도의 단기 저장에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

식물세포 배양액으로부터 회수한 식불세포 내 수분 함 량에 따른 추출효율은 건조 정도 보다는 건조방법 에 상당 히 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었으며 건조하여 추출할 경우 사용되는 추출용매를 절약할 수 있었다. 여러가지 유기용 매를 이용하여 paclitaxe1의 추출 경향을 조사한 결과 메탄올의 경우 가장 적 은 양으로 가장 높은 paclitaxe1 회 수율을 얻어 가장 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 추출방법의 경우 counter-current 형태를 사용할 경우 batch형태에 비하여 용 매 사용량을 줄일 수 있으며 paclitaxe1 회수율은 거의 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었다. Batch 형태를 이용한 메탄올 추출시 식불세포의 경우 4회 (회수율>99%), 식불세포조각의 경우 1회 (회수융>96%)의 추출로 대부분의 paclitaxe1 회수가 가능 하였다. 또한 메탄올 추출시 90% 이상의 머탄올 농도이변 충분하며 (회수율>98%), 추출시biomass와 메탄올 의 흔합비 (Kg biomass: L MeOH)는 1: 1, 추출시간은 1회 5분 이상이면 적당 하였다. 메탄올 추출불에 포함된 극성불 순물들은 다음 공정 인 액/액 (methylene chloride/ MeOH)추 출로 제거하여 정제공정에 사용되어 진다.
