Mono pump rotors are widely used in wastewater treatment plants, medicine, cosmetics, paint, paper, and chemical manufacturing, dairy production, public works, agriculture, and so on. A mono pump comprises two main parts: the rotor and stator. Typically, the rotor is machined using an expensive whirling machine. In this study, we developed an algorithm for 4-axis machining of the rotor on machining center (MCT). NC-code was obtained by applying the algorithm and finally the rotor of the mono pump was machined on a 4-axis MCT. Results of four sample experimental works showed close agreement with design geometries.

Nitrate contamination in ground and surface water is an increasingly serious environmental problem and only a few bacterial strains have been identified that have the ability to remove nitrogen pollutants from wastewater under thermophilic conditions. We therefore isolated thermophilic facultative bacterial strains from wood chips that had been composted with swine manure under aerated high temperature conditions so as to identify strains with denitrifying ability. Nine different colonies were screened and 3 long rod-shaped bacterial strains designated as SG-01, SG-02, and SG-03 were selected. The strain SG-01 could be differentiated from SG-02 and SG-03 on the basis of the method that it used for sugar utilization. The 16S rRNA genes of this strain also had high sequence similarity with Geobacillus thermodenitrificans $465^T$ (99.6%). The optimal growth temperatures ($55^{\circ}C$), pH values (pH 7.0), and NaCl concentrations (1%) required for the growth of strain SG-01 were established. This strain reduced 1.18 mM nitrate and 1.45 mM nitrite in LB broth after 48 h of incubation. These results suggest that the G. thermodenitrificans SG-01 strain may be useful in the removal of nitrates and nitrites from wastewater generated as a result of livestock farming.

Environmental impact assessment survey reflecting farmers` opinion on the residence and production space in rural settlement area by ORD showed that more than 86% of respondents thought their reservoirs and waterways (small rivers) were getting seriously contaminated primarily by garbage and livestock manure. A typical rural settlement unit was taken to assess the impact of improper management of livestock manure in the farms on the water quality of small river flowing down along the villages where swine and dairy farms were situated in Daejook 2, 3-ri, Seolseong-myun, Icheon-gun. Nitrogen compounds such as NO$_3$-N, NO$_2$-N, NH$_3$-N, and phosphorus compound H$_x$PO$_4$, DO, BOD$_5$, COD, and microbial density were analyzed to evaluate water quality at five test sites designated along the water stream. Tests showed. for example, BOD$_5$ at site 4 was average 9.2mg/l which was about 3~8 times higher than that of observation site 2 and 3, at which most livestock houses were situated. This is a clear evidence that the nutrients of livestock manure illegally discharged to small river can lead to an eutrophication of the river at downstream. A soil absorption system with aeration could be one of alternatives to treat the contaminated wastewater by livestock manure. The place at downstream, inbetween observation site 1 and 2, could be the best construction site for the treatment facility from the standpoint of the overall treatment efficiency, An enclosed composting system can also be regarded as a good alternative for treatment of the sludge which is the by-product of the soil absorption system operation.

AF(anaerobic filter)/BAF(biological aerated filter) system and UASB(upflow anaerobic sludge blanket)/BAF system, of which system effluents were recirculated to the anaerobic reactors in each system, were operated in order to investigate the performance in simultaneous removal of organics and nitrogen in high-strength dairy wastewater. Advanced anaerobic treatment processes of AF and UASB were evaluated on applicability as pre-denitrification reactors, and BAF was also evaluated on the performance in oxidizing the remaining organics and ammonia nitrogen. At system HRTs of 4.0 to 4.5 days and recirculation ratios of one to three, the AF/BAF system could achieve more than 99% of organics removals and 64 to 78% of total nitrogen removals depending upon the recirculation ratio. Although the UASB/BAF system also showed more than 99% of organics removals, total nitrogen removals in the UASB/BAF system were 53 to 66% which are lower than those in the AF/BAF system at the corresponding recirculation ratios. Optimum recirculation ratios considering simultaneous removal of organics and nitrogen and cost-effectiveness, were in the range of two to three. The upflow AF packed with crossflow module media, as a primary treatment of the anaerobic reactor/BAF system, showed better performances in denitrification, SS removals, and gas production than the UASB. Higher loading rate of suspended solids from the UASB increased the backwashing times in the following BAF. Especially, at a recirculation ratio of three in the UASB/BAF system, the increase in head loss due to clogging in the BAF caused frequent backwashing, at least once d day. The BAF showed the high nitrification efficiency of average 99.2% and organics removals more than 90% at organics loading rate less than $1.4KgCOD/m^3/d$ and $COD/NH_3-N$ ratio less than 6.4. It was proved that the simplified anaerobic reactor/BAF system could maximize the organics removal and achieve high nitrogen removal efficiencies through recirculation of system effluents to the anaerobic reactor. The AF/BAF system can, especially, be a cost effective and competitive alternative for the simultaneous removal of organics ana nitrogen from wastewaters.

To better understand the ecology of tetrade forming organisms (TFOs) floating in a large amount of dairy wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent (sequencing batch reactor [SBR]) during the inefficient phosphorus (P) removal process of an enhanced biological P removal system, the TFOs from the effluent of a full scale WWTP were separated and attempts made to culture the TFOs in presence/absence of oxygen. The intact TFOs only grew aerobically in the form of unicellular short-rods. Furthermore, to identify the intact TFOs and unicellular short-rods the DNAs of both were extracted, analyzed using their denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)-profiles and then sequenced. The TFOs and unicellular short-rods exhibited the same banding pattern in their DGGE-profiles, and those sequencing data resulted in their identification as Acinetobacter sp. The intact TFOs appeared in clumps and packages of tetrade cells, and were identified as Acinetobacter sp., which are known as strict aerobes and efficient P-removers. The thick layer of extracellular polymeric substance surrounding Acinetobacter sp. may inhibit phosphate uptake, and the cell morphology of TFOs might subsequently be connected with their survival strategy under the anaerobic regime of the SBR system.

유입폐수의 $BOD_5$가 1차연못에서 88%가 제거되고 있어 Pit의 $BOD_5$ 제거효율이 60%에 달할 것으로 예측된다. 메탄발효 Pit의 환경조건으로 용존산소가 없고, 혐기성 및 중성 pH가 유지되어야 하며, 충분한 체류시간이 확보되어야 하고, 온도변화가 적어야 한다. 분석결과 실험 메탄발효 Pit는 이런 조건들을 만족시키고 있어 Pit설계가 적절함을 알 수 있다. 실험결과 메탄발효 Pit의 설계인자로 폐수체류 기간이 2day, 월류유속은 $1.5m^3m^{-2}day^{-1}$가 적합하며, Pit바닥의 수심은 슬러지층의 온도와 밀접한 관계가 있어 3-3.5m 정도가 적합한 것으로 사료된다. Pit 바닥의 슬러지층 온도가 $16^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 유지되어야 메탈발효가 원활히 일어난다. 우리나라 중부지방과 기후조건이 유사한 지역에 위치한 연못시스템 연구에 의하면, 연못바닥의 온도가 메탄박테리아 활동이 거의 정지하는 $14^{\circ}C$ 이하로 내려가는 기간이 약 7개월이 된다. 온대권의 연못시스템은 연간 슬러지 침전량이 분해량보다 많아 어느 정도 슬러지가 쌓이게 된다. 따라서 여분의 30㎝ 수심을 두어 10-20년에 한번 슬러지를 제거하도록 설계한다. 실험 연못시스템이 설치된 장소는 중부지방보다 평균기온이 약 $3-4^{\circ}C$ 높은 지역으로 연못바닥 지하 1.5m에 위치한 Pit의 수온이 14℃이하가 되는 기간이 Fig.5에서 약 6개월이 된다. 실험 메탄발효 Pit는 좁은 면적의 연못에 설치하기 위해 콘크리트구조로 만들었으나, 1차연못의 규모가 크면 토공만으로 Pit설치가 가능하며 비용이 적게 든다. Pit에서 발생한 가스가 연못상층으로 이용하면서 $CO_2$가 해리되어 정제된 메탄을 회수할 수 있다. 메탄발생이 왕성한 기간에 연못상층에서 포집한 가스는 거의 메탄으로만 구성되어 있어 축산폐수를 처리하면서 메탄가스를 회수하여 연료로 사용하는 것이 가능하다. 메탄발효 Pit가 생태적으로 적응하면 초기보다 처리효율이 증가할 것으로 기대되어 지속적인 실험을 수행할 예정이다.

조건성연못의 메탄발효 환경조건은 용존산소가 없고, 혐기성 및 중성 pH가 유지되어야 하며, 온도변화가 적어야 한다. 분석결과 실험 조건성연못의 바닥은 이러한 조건들을 충족시키고 있어 설계인자가 비교적 적절하다고 본다. 조건성연못의 수심이 2.4m일 경우도 강한 바람이 불면 상충의 용존산소가 바닥으로 이동하여 연못바닥의 메탄발효를 일시적으로 저하시키는 현상이 있을 수 있다. 용존산소의 바닥침투를 완화하기 위해 수심을 깊게 설계할 수 있으나 수심이 깊어지면 연못바닥의 수온이 낮아져 메탄발효의 효율이 저하된다. 실험결과 조건성연못의 수심은 2.4m 정도가 적합하다고 본다. 최근에는 용존산소의 연못바닥 침투를 차단하기 위해 연못바닥에 Pit를 설치하는 방법이 연구되고 있으나 시설비용이 추가되는 단점이 있다. 실험 조건성연못의 슬러지층의 온도가 $16^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 메탄발효가 원활히 일어나고 있다. 기존 조건성연못의 메탄발효 연구에 의하면 연못바닥 슬러지충의 온도가 $19^{\circ}C$에서 슬러지 분해량과 침전량이 같아진다고 보고되고 있다. 실험 조건성연못에서는 $19^{\circ}C$보다 $3^{\circ}C$ 낮은 온도에서도 메탄발효가 원활히 일어나고 있다. 실험 조건성연못의 바닥온도 분석결과 메탄발효가 거의 정지되는 $14^{\circ}C$이하가 되는 기간이 약 7 개월이 되어, 매년 어느 정도의 슬러지는 바닥에 쌓이게 된다. 1997년 1월부터 9월까지 9개월 동안 연못바닥에 형성된 슬러지 깊이가 1.3cm였다. 따라서 연간 약 1.7cm가 쌓일 것으로 예측된다. 실험 조건성연못처럼 연못의 수심을 2.4m로 유지하고, 연못바닥에 슬러지 퇴적을 위해 여분의 0.3m 깊이를 두어 15 - 20년에 한번 슬러지를 제거할 수 있도록 설계하는 것이 바람직하다고 사료된다. 메탄발생이 왕성한 기간에 연못상충에서 포집한 가스의 83%가 메탄으로 구성되어 있어 축산폐수를 처리하면서 메탄가스를 회수하여 연료로 사용하는 것이 가능하다. Parker(1979)의 연구에 의하면 슬러지층이 형성되지 않은 연못이 슬러지층이 형성된 연못의 BOD제거수준에 이르는데는 약 1년이 소요된다.$^{24)}$ 메탄박테리아 활동이 슬러지층의 표면에서 훨씬 높기 때문이다. 본 연구는 조건성연못의 초기 메탄발효를 분석한 것으로 조건성연못이 생태적으로 적용하면 초기단계보다 메탄발효의 효율이 증가할 것으로 예측된다.

Biogas created from animal waste is a precious energy source. A practical and successful utilization of the biogas is not easy, because there lie some difficulties in biogas production and facilities investment. In this study, the requisites for a successful biogas utilization were discussed. The production results obtained in the previous operation of anaerobic digestion plant were used for the simulation. When the slurry heating was designed for constant biogas generation, depreciation costs of the facilities amounted 1,175,000 yen per year, and biogas productions at $24.5^{\circ}C$, $30.0^{\circ}C$ and $35.5^{\circ}C$ were $16.8m^3$, $17.6m^3$ and $25.1m^3$, respectively. Removal ratios of organic matters were not so high. At $35.5^{\circ}C$, energy value of the biogas produced was estimated 125.5 Mcal per day, and the following heat loss (y Mcal/day) was brought about by the temperature difference ($X^{\circ}C$) between the digester and atmosphere; y = 0.769X - 5.375. The costs of biogas production per cow were assumed to decrease according to enlargement of feeding scale, especially on scales of more than 30 cows. On recent levels of costs and prices of energy in Japan, they were nearly equal to 2 to 3 fold of the price of municipal mixed gas when a anaerobic digester was compulsorily heated and kept at $30.0^{\circ}C$ or $35.5^{\circ}C$.

This study investigated methane productions and a degradation rate of organic matters by German standard method, VDI4630 test. In this study, 4 livestock byproducts from livestock farm were selected for the investigation. The objective of this study was to estimate a distribution of organic matters by using the double first-order kinetics model in order to calculate the rate of biodegradable organic matters which degrade rapidly in the initial stage and the persistently biodegradable organic matters which degrade slowly later. As a result, all the byproducts applied in this study showed rapid decomposition in the initial stage. Then the decomposition rate began to slow down for a certain period and the rate became 5 times slower than the initial decomposition rate. This trend of decomposition rate changes is typical conditions of organic matter decompositions. The easily degradable factors ($k_1$) ranged between $0.145{\sim}0.257day^{-1}$ and persistent degradable factors ($k_2$) were $0.027{\sim}0.080day^{-1}$. Among these results, greater organic matter decomposition rates from VDI4630 had greater $k_1$ values (0.257, $0.211day^{-1}$) and smaller $k_2$ values (0.027, $0.030day^{-1}$) for dairy wastewater and forage byproduct, respectively.

실험결과 최종처리수의 $BOD_5$를 30mg/l 이하로 유지하는 것이 충분히 가능하다. 최종처리수의 총질소와 총인은 축산폐수처리시설의 방류수 수질기준보다 월등히 낮다. 연못상층에서 조류(Algae)가 성장하면서 질소와 인을 흡수하기 때문이다. 연못시스템은 질소와 인을 동시에 제거하는 장점이 있다. 최종처리수의 평균 SS가 $30mg/{\ell}$ 보다 다소 높아 2차처리 수준의 방류수 수질기준을 충족시키지 못하는 경우가 발생할 수 있으나 연못상층의 조류(Algae) 성장에 원인이 있어 문제가 되지 않는다. 2차연못과 3차연못의 SS는 거의 조류가 차지하고 있다. 조류를 회수하여 사료로 사용하거나 처리수를 유기농업 관수로 이용하여 조류를 비료로 이용하는 재활용 방법이 바람직하다. 실험 연못시스템의 모델은 연못의 수, 연못의 종류, 각 연못의 크기, 유입폐수의 $BOD_5$ 부하량을 적절히 조절하면 액상폐수(뇨${\cdot}$오수)뿐아니라 분${\cdot}$뇨${\cdot}$오수를 동시에 처리할 수 있다. 국내 여건에서는 중소규모 축산시설의 폐수를 처리하는데 연못시스템이 적합하며, 토지확보가 가능하면 대형 축산폐수 공동처리시설로 사용할 수 있다. 대부분 축산농가에 설치되어 있는 간이정화조와 산화구를 연못시스템으로 대치하여 이들의 낮은 처리효율의 문제점을 해결할 수 있다고 사료된다. 다른 처리기법에 비해 연못시스템은 관리운영에 적은 인력과 경비가 소요하여 노동력이 부족한 농촌지역에 적합하다.
