Where an activated sludge system needs to be converted to biological nutrient removal(BNR) system, the secondary clarifier must handle higher MLSS from bioreactor since nitrification in BNR system that requires higher SRTs than activated sludge system. Either increase the clarifier size or modification of clarifier physical structure is required to cope with MLSS surge. One of recommended structural modification is the insertion of Lamellar within clarifier. In this study, two clarifiers - one has Lamellar structure inserted and the other does not - were used to compare the effect of Lamellar in solid/liquid separation. Same MLSS was fed to both clarifiers and concentrations of MLSS were varied. With all MLSS concentrations, attachment of MLSS on Lamellar was observed and it was found that detached MLSS caused the higher effluent SS concentrations than that of non-Lamellar clarifier effluent. From these results, Lamellar should not be inserted in clarifier to handle MLSS from BNR processes and the recommendation must be withdrawn.

For a membrane bio-reactor, it is possible to fillet and separate activated sludge and effluent by head loss of centimeters, if non-woven fabric material is used as titration media. However, if non-woven fabric material is used to thicken high-concentration sludge, excessive sludge attachment causes the rapid decrease of flux. Mesh with fore sizes of $100{\mu}m,\;150{\mu}m,\;and\;200{\mu}m$ allows for easy separation of attached sludge. This study examined the possibility of mesh as filtration media. Existing close-flow filtration process, which requires maintaining sludge movement, makes It difficult to obtain high thickening rate. With a view of complementing this weakness, this study has made an experimental examination on how high-concentration sludge (about 3,000mg/L to 10,000mg/L) will be filtered and thickened when mesh module is submersed in the bio-reactor. Effluent flowed from the bottom of the bio-reactor by head loss of 65cm. In case of pore size of $100{\mu}m$, SS showed high recovery of 80% to 96%; therefore, it has been decided that mesh can be used as filtration media. Filtration lasted for more than 9 hours, until sludge with 9,000mg/L in MLSS concentration was thickened 9 times as dense. In the range from 3,610mg/L to 9,060mg/L in MLSS concentration, it was possible to obtain effluent with less than 2mg/L in MLSS concentration within 10 minutes.

This paper discussed the shape effect of ceramic support carrier in order to facilitate biomass immobilization. The shape of ceramic support carrier was modified hollow pipe type into hollow gear type. After seeding, microorganisms were attached in crevices where protection from shear forces or surfaces where easy to contact with support carrier surface. In case of hollow gear type carrier, initial attachment rate was faster than that of hollow pipe type and obtained thick biofilm. Synthetic wastewater(COD:75~880 mg/L, organic loading rate:0.36~4.22 kgCOD/㎥.d) was treated aerobic fixed bed biofilm reactor where 100% of the volume was filled with the ceramic carrier. COD removal efficiency of reactor filled with gear type support carrier was a little high withing 70 days, and then showed similar removal efficiency. It was found that highly loaded operation with up to 4.22 kgCOD/㎥.d was possible in both reactor. Total biomass amounts of pipe type was higher than gear type, however, attached biomass of gear type was higher than that of pipe type.

In this study, the porous glass media was utilized as biomass carrier, and the optimum characteristics of this new media in fixed bed biofilm process were investigated. The characteristics of media considered here are a void volume fraction, a specific surface area, and surface characteristics of media. The effect of surface roughness and material could be clearly demonstrated by the fact that the porous glass media showed a good potential for biofilm development. This might results from the fact that biofilm is initially formed in the surface cavities of the media is protect from the shear effect. Therefore, the microcolonies are not readily detached by the fluid shear. In the steady state, biofilm formation along the packing bed depth was different from media to media. The specific area was also an important factor for the attachment of microorganism on the media surface. The specific area was also an important factor for the attachment of microorganism on the media surface. In the case of porous glass media, about $100m^2/m^3$ was enough to obtain a good organic removal efficiency The organic removal efficiency could be improved by increasing the void volume fraction in the reactor, at least 80% was required to obtain a high removal efficiency and prevent clogging. From the analysis of kinetics study, the yield coefficient, Y, was 0.42 mgMLSS/mgSBOD, endogenous respiration coefficient, ke, was $0.12day^{-1}$ and substrate removel coefficient of Mckinney. km, was $16.8hr^{-1}$ for the porous glass media G-2

난분해성물질 함유폐수에 대해 유지관리가 용이하며 저비용-저에너지 고효율적인 새로운 수 처리 방식인 대기노출형 백색부후균 생물막 공법을 적용하기 위한 기초실험을 실시하였다. 먼저 난분해성물질을 함유한 오 폐수 처리에 가장 효율적인 백색부후균 종을 선정하기 위해 백색부후균 3종 및 활성슬러지에 대한 처리특성을 조사하였으며, 선정된 백색부후균 P. chrysosporium PSBL-1에 대해서 HBC링 여재에 대한 부착 및 탈착특성을 조사하였다. 백색부후균 3종(P. chrysosporium PSBL-1, P. chrysosporium KCTC 6147, Trametes sp. KFCC 10941)의 pH에 따른 처리특성을 조사한 결과 NBDCOD 제거율은 P. chrysosporium PSBL-1과 P. chrysosporium 6147가 pH 3.5$\sim$5.5에서 각각 51$\sim$59.8%, 57.5$\sim$60.3%로 비슷한 결과를 나타냈으나, TN 제거율은 pH 4.5$\sim$11.5에서 각각 39.3$\sim$85.3%, 3.4$\sim$7.6%로 현저한 차이를 나타내고 있다. 유기물 및 질소 동시제거 특성을 고려하여 백색부후균 P. chrysosporium PSBL-1을 선정하였다. 백색부후균 P. chrysosporium PSBL-1은 부유상태의 초기농도 4,600 mg/L에서 HBC링 여재 부착시작 5분후 pH 4, 7, 10에서 각각 4,538 mg/L, 4,546 mg/L, 4,531 mg/L, 10분 후 4,575 mg/L, 4,573 mg/L, 4,568 mg/L로 5분 이후에는 미생물 부착이 거의 되지 않았다. HBC링 여재에 부착된 P. chrysosporium PSBL-1을 10일 동안 1일 간격으로 탈착량을 조사한 결과 탈착량은 거의 미미하였다.
