Submerged membrane bio-reactor equipped with a hollow fiber microfiltration was applied to reuse weaving wastewater of water jet loom, where two parameters such as the concentration of MLSS and the flux were controlled. While the flux at the concentration of MLSS around 900mg/L was constantly kept over 0.4m/d and 0.8m/d in a short time, the stable flux at around 300mg/L of MLSS was shown at the 8 days later. Regardless of MLSS and flux, BOD, CODcr and Turbidity of the permeate were 1~2mg/L, 7~10mg/L and below 1 NTU, which were 85~90%, 87~90% and 98% of removal efficiency, respectively. The stable operation without fouling was achieved because the contents of ECP were smaller than those of common MBR processes and the composition(saccharide/protein) was kept constantly. In this study, 0.5~1.0m/d of flux and 400~900mg/L of MLSS were considered as the most recommendable operating condition for the reuse of weaving wastewater.

The characterization of treatment performance with respect to mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration enables greater control over system performance and contaminant removal efficiency. Hybrid membrane bioreactors (HMBRs) have yet to be well characterized in this regard, particularly in the context of greywater treatment. The aim of this study, therefore, was to determine the optimal MLSS concentration for a decentralized HMBR greywater reclamation system under typical loading conditions. Treatment performance was measured at MLSS concentrations ranging from 1000 to 4000 mg/L. The treated effluent was characterized in terms of biochemical oxygen demand ($BOD_5$), chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity, ammonia ($NH_3$), total phosphorus (TP), total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), and total nitrogen (TN). An MLSS concentration ranging from 3000 to 4000 mg/L yielded optimal results, with $BOD_5$, COD, turbidity, $NH_3$, TP, TKN, and TN removals reaching 99.2%, 97.8%, 99.8%, 99.9%, 97.9%, 95.1%, and 44.8%, respectively. The corresponding food-to-microorganism ratio during these trials was approximately 0.23 to 0.28. Operation at an MLSS concentration of 1000 mg/L resulted in an irrecoverable loss of floc, and contaminant residuals exceeded typical guideline values for reuse in non-potable water applications. Therefore, it is suggested that operation at or below this threshold be avoided.

Biological degradation of nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds was investigated in activated sludge previously adapted to mineralize low concentrations of nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds. Normally, the time required for 95% degradation of 10 mg/l dinitrophenol (DNP) under aerobic conditions was less than 4 hours without any lag, and with mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) levels from 600 to 1,000 mg/l. However, when the initial DNP concentration was increased to 75 mg/l, lags and even complete inhibition of DNP degradation were observed. The length of the lag was found to increase proportionally with decreasing MLSS levels. When dilute activated sludge was incubated for extended periods (192 hours), degradation of 75 mg/l DNP did eventually occur after lag periods of 37 to 144 hours, depending on the MLSS concentration. DNP was degradable in high concentrations if MLSS concentrations were sufficiently high to allow growth of bacteria resistant to the toxic effects of DNP.

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) were enriched by repeating fed-batch cultivations in an AOB-selective medium of activated sludges from a domestic wastewater treatment plant. Enriched culture showed strong capabilities of ammonia oxidation [0.810 mg $NH_4^+$-N/mg mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS)$\cdot$day] as well as $NO_x^-$-N production (0.617 mg $NO_x^-$-N/ mg MLSS$\cdot$day). Degree of enrichment was examined through fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses using an AOB-specific Cy3-labeled oligonucleotide probe (NSOl90) and terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analyses. FISH analyses confirmed that the fraction of AOB among 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)-stained cells increased from about less than $0.001\%$ to approximately $42\%$ after enrichment of AOB, and T-RFLP analyses showed that bacterial community became simpler as enrichment was continued. When the enriched culture of AOB was added (150 mg/l as dry suspended solid) to the normal activated sludge (3,000 mg/l as dry suspended solid), nitrification efficiencies were improved from 0.020 mg $NO_x^-$-N/mg MLSS$\cdot$day to 0.041 mg $NO_x^-$-N/mg MLSS$\cdot$day in a synthetic wastewater and also from 0.0007 mg $NO_x^-$-N/mg MLSS$\cdot$day to 0.0918 mg $NO_x^-$-N/mg MLSS$\cdot$day in a real domestic wastewater. Therefore, it is expected that this enrichment method could be used for improving efficiency of nitrification in wastewater treatment plants.

This study was accomplished to develope an advanced wastewater treatment process using high MLSS in anoxic tank aimed to improve nutrient removal and to reduce wasting sludge. It was operated with 4 Modes with varing solid concentration and internal recycle ratios. Mode I, II, III was operated 1.0~1.5% MLSS concentration at anoxic tank with 50% sludge recycle rate, however, each internal recycle rate were 100%, 200%, 300% and Mode IV was operated 1.5~2.0% MLSS concentration at anoxic tank with 50% sludge recycle rate and 100% internal recycle rate. The COD removal efficiency didn't show any big difference from Mode I to IV. The average COD removal rate was over than 90%. The T-N removal rate was 73%, the highest rate in all mode. The 36% of SCOD is used for the denitrification and phosphorus release in the anoxic tank. Specific denitrification rate was 3.5mg $NO_3{^-}-N/g$ Mv/hr and denitrification time was 0.7hr. As MLSS concentration is higher in anoxic tank as denitrification time would be shorter. The T-P removal rate was average 70%. The phosphorus release accomplished from the anoxic tank because the anaerobic condition was prevalent in the anoxic due to the prompt completion of denitrification. Sludge production was 0.28 kgVSS/kg $BOD_{removed}$ under the 1.5% MLSS and 17 day SRT. It is prominent result which has 40% sludge reduce comparing with traditional activate sludge system.

부영양화로 인한 녹 적조류가 과잉 번식하여 다양한 환경문제를 야기해왔으나, 최근 조류를 에너지원으로 활용할 수 있는 바이오 디젤 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 하수처리장의 산소공급을 위한 송풍에너지 절약을 위해 미세조류의 광합성 작용으로 발생하는 산소를 하수처리장에 적용시키는 연구도 다양하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 조류광합성 산소를 질산화에 필요한 산소로 활용하고자 실험실 규모의 조류-질산화 반응조를 운영하였으며, 운전구간은 크게 3구간으로 운전하였다. MLSS(Mixed Liquer Suspended Solid) 농도에 변화를 준 구간에서 24~38 %, Micro-algae 농도에 변화를 준 구간에서는 38~50%, 그리고 HRT(Hydraulic Retention Time)에 변화를 준 구간에서 61~80%의 암모니아성 질소 제거율이 나타났다. 연구결과 MLSS 가 감소함에 따라, Algae Biomass가 증가함에 따라 암모니아성 질소 제거율이 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, MLSS에 의한 영향보다 Algae biomass 에 의한 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The ejector type microbubble generator, which is the method to supply air to water by using cavitation in the nozzle, does not require any air supplier so it is an effective and economical. Also, the distribution of the size of bubbles is diverse. Especially, the size of bubbles is smaller than the bubbles from a conventional air diffuser and bigger than the bubbles from a pressurized dissolution type microbubble generator so it could be applied to the aeration tank for wastewater treatment. However, the performance of the ejector type microbubble generator was affected by hydraulic pressure and MLSS(Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid) concentration so many factors should be considered to apply the generator to aeration tank. Therefore, this study was performed to verify effects of hydraulic pressure and MLSS concentration on oxygen transfer of the ejector type microbubble generator. In the tests, the quantity of sucked air in the nozzle, dissolved oxygen(DO) concentration, oxygen uptake rate(OUR), oxygen transfer coefficient were measured and calculated by using experimental results. In case of the MLSS, the experiments were performed in the condition of MLSS concentration of 0, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000 mg/L. The hydraulic pressure was considered up to $2.0mH_2O$. In the results of experiments, oxygen transfer coefficient was decreased with the increase of MLSS concentration and hydraulic pressure due to the increased viscosity and density of wastewater and decreased air flow rate. Also, by using statistical analysis, when the ejector type microbubble generator was used to supply air to wasterwater, the model equation of DO concentration was suggested to predict DO concentration in wastewater.

MBR공정의 여러 가지 장점에도 불구하고 현장적용에 있어서 가장 큰 제한요소로 작용하는 것은 운전이 지속됨에 따라 멤브레인 파울링이 발생하여 플럭스의 저하가 발생하는 것이다. 현재 멤브레인 파울링에 관한 수많은 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 여러 가지 원인들이 복합적으로 영향을 미치기 때문에 정확한 메커니즘을 밝히기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 lab-scale의 생물반응조와 정밀여과 중공사 멤브레인의 성능을 평가하고, 멤브레인 성능에 영향을 미치는 오염물질들을 측정하여 파울링과의 상관관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 마지막으로 파울링을 일으키는 다양한 인자들과 파울링 완화제(Membrane Fouling Reducer, MFR)의 적용성을 평가하였다. 실험결과 88 LMH로 임계 플럭스가 결정되었으며, 그때의 한계압력은 0.32 bar로 나타났다. MLSS농도와 EPS농도의 상관관계에서는 MLSS농도가 6,000 mg/L 이하에서는 EPS농도의 변화 폭이 큰데 비하여 6,000 mg/L 이상에서는 변동폭이 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 SEM/EDX를 이용하여 멤브레인 표면 상태와 원소분석을 측정한 결과 탄소와 불소가 멤브레인의 재질 특성상 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였으며 알루미늄, 마그네슘과 같은 무기물의 비율이 증가한 것으로 보아 운전이 지속됨에 따라 무기성 멤브레인 파울링이 발생한 것으로 판단된다. MFR주입량에 따른 혼합액의 특성 변화를 측정하기 위해 입도분석, 제타전위, SCODcr, EPS 및 MLSS농도를 비교분석한 결과 전반적으로 0.03 mg MFR/mg MLSS의 MFR을 주입하였을 때 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.
