A lab-scale submerged membrane bio-reactor (MBR) with intermittent aeration was carried out for investigating the behavior of soluble microbial products (SMP). The SMP concentration of mixed liquor at Run 1 accumulated immediately at the end of running and biodegradable SMP converted into non-biodegradable SMP, but it did not occurred at the Run 2 and 3. The SMP formation coefficient (k) at the anoxic phase was a little higher than oxic phase, and the lowest k was investigated at Run 3. The combination of biological denitrification with the MBR Process was advantageous in the prevention of membrane bio-fouling.

Nitrogen removal, nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission and microbial community in sequencing batch and continuous-flow intermittent aeration processes were investigated. Two sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) and two continuous-flow multiple anoxic and aerobic reactors (CMRs) were operated under high dissolved oxygen (DO) (SBR-H and CMR-H) and low DO (SBR-L and CMR-L) concentrations, respectively. Nitrogen removal was enhanced under CMR and low DO conditions (CMR-L). The highest total inorganic nitrogen removal efficiency of 91.5% was achieved. Higher nitrifying and denitrifying activities in SBRs were observed. CMRs possessed higher $N_2O$ emission factors during nitrification in the presence of organics, with the highest $N_2O$ emission factor of 60.7% in CMR-L. SBR and low DO conditions promoted $N_2O$ emission during denitrification. CMR systems had higher microbial diversity. Candidatus Accumulibacter, Nitrosomonadaceae and putative denitrifiers ($N_2O$ reducers and producers) were responsible for $N_2O$ emission.

Advanced Phase Isolation Ditch (APID) process was studied to develop economic retrofitting technology, for the plants where retrofitting of common activated sludge process is required. In this study, to develop and apply the modified intermittently aeration mode as process control conditions for treating municipal wastewater, a demonstration plant was installed and operated in the existing sewage treatment plant of P city. During this study, the average effluent $BOD_5$, SS, T-N, and T-P concentrations were 6.3, 4.5, 10.0, and 1.3 mg/L. The modified mode decreased the nitrification capability more than the conventional mode in the application period. Nitrate in the anaerobic condition can have a negative effect on biological phosphorus removal. In the decreasing nitrate levels, the modified mode increased the biological ability of removal phosphorus more than the conventional mode in this study. Therefore, newly developed APID process with modified intermittent aeration mode can be one of the useful processes for stable organic matter and nutrients removal.

폭기조를 간헐 폭기로 운전하여 호기/무산소(oxic/anoxic) 시간 비율과 무산소 조건에서 호기 조건으로의 전환시 공기세정이 투과플럭스 및 투과압력에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 호기조건에서 무산소 조건으로 전환 시 펌프의 회전력에 의한 흡인압력이 투과플럭스와 투과 압력에 주는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 긴 슬러지체류시간(SRT; Sludge Retention Time)과 고농도의 MLSS 유지시에 발생하는 미생물 대사산물이 분리막에 미치는 영향과 응집제를 투여하였을 때 분리막에 작용하는 플러스 효과에 대하여 조사하여 보았다. 호기/무산소(oxic/anoxic)의 시간비율에 따른 유기물 및 질소 제거효율을 조사해본 결과 폭기 40 비폭기 20분의 시간배분 조건에서 처리효율이 가장 양호하였으므로 호기/무산소(oxic/anoxic) 조건을 40/20분으로 한 조건(step-7)에서 약품주입 실험을 수행하였다. 액체 명반을 폭기조에 직접 투여할 경우 약품의 농도가 질산화 및 탈질 미생물에 많은 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었으며, MBR공정에서 인 1 mg/L를 제거하기 위해서는 약 0.7 mg/L의 액체명반이 필요한 것으로 확인되었다.

Intermittently aerated activated sludge process was applied as a water reuse process of $70m^3/day$ for the upgrade of organic, nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency and clarifier performance. After application of the intermittently aeration, removal efficiency of BOD, SS, T-N and T-P were achieved 95%, 90%, 80% and 60%, respectively. Removal efficiencies in intermittently aerated process were considerably increased. comparing to those of continuously aerated activated sludge process. Also sludge rising problem in clarifier was improved. Average concentration of supplied reusing water were BOD 5 mg/L, turbidity 4 NTU and after chlorination, residual chlorine 0.4 mg/L, coliform 0 MPN/100mL. Intermittently aerated activated sludge process could be one of the best alternative process for the retrofit of conventional activated sludge process for the removal of nutrient in water reuse system.

In order to decrease the high costs of membrane process, we have tried to develop two alternatives to membrane; a cartridge type filter and a metal membrane were tested for the high permeation flux with low cost and low energy. This research mainly focused on three points; 1) operation with high permeation flux by using of a cartridge type filter and a metal membrane, 2) removals of the filterable organic materials (FOC) by pretreatments for the membrane fouling control, and 3) advanced wastewater treatment by SMBR process with intermittent aeration and high MLSS. An Intermittently aerated membrane bioreactor using a submerged micro filter (cartridge type) was applied in laboratory scale for the advanced wastewater treatment. To minimize membrane fouling, intermittent aeration was applied inside of the filter with $3.0kg_f/cm^2$. The experiments was conducted for 6 months with three different HRTs (8, 10, 12 hr) and high MLSS of 6,000 and 10,000mg/L. The filtration process could be operated up to 50 days with permeation flux of 500LMH. Regardless of the operating conditions, more than 95% of COD, BOD and SS were removed. Fast and complete nitrification was accomplished, and denitrification was appeared to be the rate-limiting step. More than 75% T-N could be removed due to the endogenous denitrification. T-P removal efficiency was increased to 80% under the condition of MLSS 10,000mg/L.

돈분 슬러리와 톱밥 혼합물을 퇴비화 급속(분해)과정의 파이로트 규모 반응조 성능 평가를 입증하기 위해 간헐통기법으로 퇴비화 처리했다. 계측은 퇴비온도, 산소와 탄산가스농도, 통기량 및 암모니아가스 배출 등의 측정으로 구성됐다. 퇴비화 급속과정의 암모니아 농도는 14일째에 수준이하(I)보다 최적수준(II)부근에서 신속하게 허용범위 34-40ppm 이내로 감소되어 짐을 알 수 있었다. 암모니아가스 저감에 있어서 수분(55-65%), 탄질비(20-40%), 수소이온농도(7-8%) 및 퇴비온도(<$60^{\circ}C$) 등의 최적수준 영향은 상업용 퇴비화에 무시 할 수 없었다.

In this research, Effect of C/N ratio on nutrient removal in intermittently aerated activated sludge system(IAASS) was investigated with dormitary, building and swine wastewater. Three types (2-stage, 4-stage, modified) of IAASS were operated. Time interval of aeration/nonaeration in IAASS was 1hr/1hr. In treatment of Dormitary wastewater(BOD/T-N ratio : 4.4), Building wastewater (BOD/T-N ratio : 3.14) and swine wastewater(BOD/T-N ratio : 3.84), Nitrogen removal efficiency of 80, 70 and 90.4% was achieved, respectively. Nitrogen removal in IAASS was a great influenced on influent C/N ratio, efficient nitrogen removal was achieved at BOD/T-N ratio over 4. In IAASS operation, $\Delta $BOD mg/L/$\Delta $ nitrogen mg/L ratio was about 4-6. Simultaneous removal of organic, nitrogen and phosphorus in IAASS can achieved. And influent organic was efficiently utilized in denitrification. IAASS could be one of the best alternative process for the retrofit of conventional activated sludge system for the removal of nutrients.

In this study, some of bacterial growth kinetic parameters were delineated and evaluated for the biological nutrient removal processes such as the $A^2/O$, 4stage-BNR, Intermittent Cycle Extended Aeration System(ICEAS) and Intermittently Aerated Cylindrical Oxidation Ditch(IACOD) processes. $Y_H$ values for the ICEAS process ranged from 0.71 to 0.74, and were higher than those for the other processes. It seems to indicated that organic carbons uptaked by microorganism were more used up for cell synthesis rather than for energy components in the ICEAS process. $b_H$ for the ICEAS and IACOD processes were lower than those for $A^2/O$ and 4stage-BNR processes. The $\mu_{max{\cdot}A}$ for the ICEAS was higher than those for the other processes, which indicated that desirable operating conditions for nitrifying bacteria's growth were established.
