In this paper, electrical power subsystem(EPS) simulator for KOMPSAT 2 has been analyzed designed and simulated by object oriented design(OOP) method. To design EPS simulator, the EPS modules, which modeled solar array, solar array regulator, deployment device controller, battery, power control unit, and EPS control unit, are modeled. To verify the EPS simulator, the modules has been simulated. By OOP designs, the EPS simulator is very powerful because this method is applicable to design other EPS simulator.

The EPS construction method-one kind of the load reducing methods-utilizes the EPS blocks, ultra-light materials whose unit weight is about 1/100 of soils and has been applied to many soft ground sites. It needed 3,000 days to get the 90% degree of the consolidation for the case of 12m high soil embankments on the 30m thick soft clayey foundations. The N value of SPT at this deposit was less than 5. The pack drain was installed to promote the radial consolidations. Although staged embankments were planned, designers failed to get a sufficient stability of the foundation ground. Therefore, the EPS fill method was selected to reduce the load and the construction period. EPS blocks(D-20 model) replaced the upper part of the soil embankments. These complex embankments reduced the ground settlement and the construction period. The possibility of lateral movements of the bridge abutments was checked and the design scheme was reviewed.

Marine Microorganism strain 96CJ10356 produced extracellular polysaccharide (EPS-R) accompanied with cell growth. To improve the production of EPS-R, the effect of aeration rate was tested in a 5-liter jar fermentor with STN medium. The production of EPS-R was increased with aeration rate and after 72 hour cultivation, 12.20 g/l of EPS-R was obtained with an aeration rate of 1.5 vvm and the apparent viscosity was measured to be about 1000 cp with culture broth.

The physical properties of lightweight foamed concrete mixed with EPS waste and flame resistant EPS waste were investigated. For this purpose, the main variables considered were a cement content of 300 and $400kgf/m^3$ and an EPS replacement ratio of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% by the volume ratio of the foam. The water-cement ratio and the dilution concentration were fixed to 0.5 and 10% respectively. The test results showed that the apparent density meets degrees 0.5 and 0.6 of KS F4039, and they showed little difference between the two mixes of Type A and Type B, regardless of the unit cement content. The bending strength obtained through the compressive strength also met the degree of KS F 4039. The thermal conductivity was 1~3% higher for the mixes of EPS than the case of flame resistant EPS, but both mixes met the 0.4 degree of KS F4039. The absorption ratio showed the values above 20% with a 1~3% difference for the two mixes, which mean further studies will be needed to reduce the absorption ratio.

The factors affecting on sludge sedimentation are reported as F/M ratio, ingredient, composition of influent substrate, dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, pH, filamentous bacteria and SRT. Aeration tank applying Bacillus sp. has an important role for maintaining the dominant microorganism species to make steady progress for spore growth affecting sedimentation. This research aims to investigate the affecting factor for the sedimentation in B3 system and RABC system with aeration tank applying tapered aeration. Extracellular polymeric substances(EPS), protein and carbohydrate can be produced for the extreme condition, that is down to 0.2 mg/L of dissolved oxygen in the aeration tank. This research found out the relation between the sedimentation and the EPS production, especially the ratio of protein/carbohydrate. The spore of Bacillus sp. was formed at the low DO then microorganisms produced EPS. The results showed that the production of EPS was 109.95 mgEPS/gSS at 1.6 mg/L of DO, however it was 131.77 mgEPS/gSS at 0.5 mg/L of DO. The sedimentation was affected by protein content in EPS and the ratio of protein and carbohydrate. The settleability of sludge was not affected by the ratio of protein/carbohydrate in B3 process, meanwhile settleability was affected by the ratio of it in RABC process, respectively.

MMBR system has been suggested as a promising system to resolve harvesting problems induced from low settling efficiency of microalgae. And recently, a lot of research on reducing fouling at the MMBR system has investigated focused on EPS in many cases. EPS of microalgae mainly consists of polysaccharides and protein components, and is produced through photosynthesis and nitrogen-carbon metabolic pathways. Especially, P-EPS is one of major compounds which occur membrane fouling phenomenon, as its hydrophobic protein components cause floc formation and cake layer accumulation. And it is already known that almost every microalgae can metabolize P-EPS or Chl-a when nitrogen sources as a substrate is insufficient or exhausted situation. With the above backgrounds, uptake rates of P-EPS or Chl-a by Scenedesmus quadricauda according to the type of carbon source and nitrogen concentration were evaluated in order to verify correlation between carbon source vs P-EPS production, and indeed Scenedesmus quadricauda uses P-EPS or Chl-a when the amounts of nitrogen sourc es in the feed is not satisfied. As a result, it was shown that P-EPS and Chl-a production were increased proportional to nitrogen concentration under organic carbon condition. And especially, the amo unts of P-EPS and Chl-a in the cell were diminished with the nitrogen source becomes insufficient or exhausted. Because P-EPS accelerates fouling at the MMBR system, P-EPS degradation by Scenedesmus quadricauda in order to get nitrogen source may contribute to reducing fouling. About a affects of N-consumed Chl-a to the MMBR fouling, more survey is needed. On the contrary, considering the purpose of MMBR system of this study, i.e. harvesting useful high value microalgae efficiently feeding adequate industrial process wastewater, it seems like difficult to maintain satisfied metabolic activity and to harvest with high yield rate using nitrogen-poor MMBR feed.

The extracellular polysaccharide...(EPS) has been used in a wide variety of industrial applications because of gel formation, emulsion stability, control of the surface tension, water absorption and film formation etc. In this study, inhibitory activity on tyrosinase and inhibitory activity on angiotensin converting enzyme...(ACE) are determined. UV adsorption wavelength, beads formation of EPS were investigated. In the result, in 1%(w/v) EPS concentration, EPS had inhibitory activity of 71.8% on tyrosinase and inhibitory activity of 61.5% on angiotensin converting enzyme in 1.5% EPS concentration. Adsorption wavelength of EPS was UV-B,C . Beads based on EPS were prepared by w/o emulsion method and the shape of EPS beads observed by SEM was spherical and uniform.

EPS패널의 열방출율과 가스유해성에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 진행되어왔다. 그러나 그 동안의 시험 결과는 KSF ISO 5660-1(콘칼로리미터) 시험규정에 의한 소형시편을 이용한 것으로 난연제의 과다투입 또는 심재의 변형이 쉬워 결과를 신뢰하기 힘들고 실제 생산되는 크기의 샌드위치패널의 난연성능을 판단하기 힘들다. 따라서, 보다 정확한 실물화재시험의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 난연 EPS샌드위치패널과 일반EPS샌드위치패널의 실물화재 실험결과 난연EPS샌드위치패널은 기타재료의 샌드위치패널과 열방출율, 연기발생율, 부분별 온도분포, 플래시오버등과 같은 난연성능이 EPS샌드위치패널과 우레탄폼패널보다 우수하며, 글라스울과 비슷한 성능을 나태내는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 그래서 시공성, 경제성 등의 EPS샌드위치패널의 장점을 그대로 유지하며 난연제의 코팅법을 통해 우수한 난연성능을 확보하였다.

Current volume reduction methods for wasted expandable polystyrene (EPS) foam are summarized and compared each other. Wasted EPS foam has not been recycled effectively because of its large volume to weight ratio. This has prevented from its proper recycling because of high cost of transportation to recycling plant. Successful recycling of wasted EPS foam results directly from successful, i.e. economically and environmentally, volume reduction of wasted EPS foam. This paper deals with various methods for volume reduction methods of wasted EPS foam. Five typical methods of volume reduction are introduced and they are compared each other in terms of expected PS properties after volume reduction, cost effectiveness of each process, possible effects on environment caused by the volume reduction process, and possible recycled products. The methods include thermal, solvent, far infrared and mechanical compaction. Comparison in this paper is made mostly in qualitative manner. The focus in this study is concentrated on summarizing and comparing existing methods of volume reduction for wasted EPS foam.
