본 연구는 급속 OUR (Oxygen Uptake Rate)방법의 영향인자 평가로서 최적의 미생물 활성도에 미치는 영향인자를 평가하는 실험을 진행하였으며, 실폐수를 이용하여 OUR변화에 따른 SCOD의 변화를 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과 최적의 F/M비는 0.03~0.05이었고, pH는 6.0~8.5, 온도는 $20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$에서 OUR 값이 가장 높았으며, 질산화에 대한 산소소모는 미비했다. OUR 변화에 따른 SCOD (Soluble COD)의 변화는 OUR 변곡점 시간 전후로 SCOD의 분해속도에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 실험방법을 이용하여 하수처리장의 유입수 실시간 예측을 통해 최적의 운영을 할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

Experimental data for the on-line estimation of cell concentration and growth rate are presented. For this purpose, we utilized the on-line calculation of the oxygen uptake rate (OUR), which was derived from a liquid phase dynamic mass balance for the oxygen during the active growth phase in cyclosporin A (CyA) fermentation. The cell yield coefficient, based on the oxygen $(Y_{x/o})$for both suspended and immobilized cells of Tolypocladium inflatum, was estimated as $1.9 gDCW/gO_2$ from a very good linear correlation between the cell mass produced and the total oxygen consumed. The calculated yield showed a good agreement with the value of $(Y_{x/o})$ generated from the correlation between the cell growth rate and the oxygen uptake rate. In addition, further experimental data are given, which were also applied to determine the specific oxygen uptake rate of T. inflatum cells during the exponential phase of CyA fermentation. A theoretical basis for the analysis of these fermentation parameters is also provided.

Fermentation parameters were estimated by use of a vent gas analyzer coupled to a computer data acquisition system in cultivation of Phellinus linteus WI-001, pro-ducer of polysaccharides known to have potent anticancer activities. Oxygen uptake rate(OUR), a critical indicator of the cells activities, was calculated by applying oxygen mass balance. In addition, by dividing the oxygen uptake rate hy the total oxygen consumed, on-line estimation of the cells specific growth rate was successfully done. It was also possible to estimate cell concentration directly bt use of oxygen-cell yield($Y_{x/o}$ ) which was obtained based on a correlation between cell growth and total oxygen consumed.

Toxicity evaluations using oxygen uptake rate (OUR) on activated sludge process were investigated. On toxicity evaluations of heavy metals, all toxicants in experiments decreased OUR with respect to the concentrations of the toxicants, while high toxicities with cyanide and mercury were observed respectively. On toxicity evaluations of composite heavy metals, composite toxicities had similar results as to the total sum of each toxicants that presents accurate toxicity evaluation using OUR. From these results, it is concluded that activated sludge is effective indicator for toxicity evaluation on wastewater of biological treatment plants.

Quadrupole mass spectrometer를 이용한 발효 배기가스의 분석을 통해 세포의 증식을 on-line monitoring하고자 model 균주로 Candida utilis에 대해 연구하였다. Quadrupole mass spectrometer와 interface된 16-bit 개인용 컴퓨터 (IBM PC-AT)에서 산소 소비속도(OUR)와 이산화탄소 발생속도(CER)를 on-line 계산할 수 있었고 계속해서 이들 계산치로부터 세포농도와 증식속도 및 비증식속도를 계산하였다. 계산된 값들은 실험적으로 측정한 세포농도 및 비증식속도와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

Oxygen uptake rate (OUR) was used as an indicator of microbial activity. In this study OUR at dyeing wastewater in the pilot plant was monitored to examine biological activity. Correlation between inlet COD concentration and maximum OUR showed that maximum OUR was proportional to inlet COD concentration. Changes in the OUR values reflected the changing waste load in the reactor. Consequently, OUR can be used to estimate biological activity of inlet COD concentration. This study showed that biodegradable COD at dyeing wastewater could be calculated from OUR and yield coefficient. Non-biodegradable COD was able to be calculated from a difference between initial COD concentration and biodegradable COD.

The biological activities of wastewater and sludge taken from the wastewater treatment process of Hyangnam pharmaceutic factories in Hwaseong, Kyeonggi-Do was measured using a respirometer. Oxygen uptake rate (OUR) was used as a tool for measuring biological activity. OUR was measured for varying amounts of sludge and organic chemicals in wastewater, and its toxicity was evaluated. Maximum OUR was observed as 61, 75, and 89 mg O$_2$/L/hr when sludge was added as 3, 5, and 10% of total volume, respectively. When the concentration of organic chemicals was changed to 1,486, 337, and 164 mg COD/L, maximum OUR was 53, 13, 8 mg O$_2$/L/hr, respectively. The toxicity test results showed that there seemed that there seemed to be no observable toxic effect on microbes in pharmaceutic wastewater.

The influent COD of municipal wastewater has been divided into 4 fractions; readily soluble biodegradable, slowly particulate biodegradable, soluble and particulate unbiodegradable COD. The mathematical modeling of biological wastewater treatment processes and the design and operation of nutrient removal plants require a reliable and accurate estimate of the composition of influent wastewater COD. COD utilization rate is proportional to the oxygen uptake rate(OUR), so a batch biodegradation test with OUR measurement has been effectively used for the determination of COD fractionation. But the mathematical model of COD utilization and heterotrophs synthesis is essential to interpret the OUR measurement. Mamais method is another method for determining readily biodegradable soluble COD. Like the OUR test method, batch biodegradation test is necessary but it does not require mathematical model. These two methods for determining COD fractionation are introduced here in detail. Experimental results showed that COD composition by Mamais method is not different to that by OUR test method so, either of them can be used.

하수처리장을 운영함에 있어 안정적인 방류수질 확보와 이에 따른 처리 비용을 최소화하는 것이 주요 목적이다. 하지만 유입수 유량 및 성분 농도의 변화와 미생물의 비선형적인 동특성, 기타 환경 요인에 의해서 최적의 운전 제어를 하기가 쉽지 않기 때문에, 기존의 하수처리장에서는 필요한 양 이상의 폭기 및 화학물질을 과량 주입하는 방법 등을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 포기조에서 미생물에 필요한 용존산소농도는 유지하면서 과폭기로 인한 전력 비용을 감소하는 최적 제어 방법을 제안하였다. 하수조성와 포기조 미생물의 호흡률은 실시간 미생물 호흡률 측정기(Oxygen uptake rate, OUR)를 이용하여 측정하였고, 실시간 호흡률 측정값을 바탕으로 현재 미생물에 필요한 최적 DO 농도를 제안하였다. 유입수 부하변동에 따라 변화하는 미생물 호흡에 필요한 산소량 만큼만 폭기하도록 구성함으로써, 방류수 수질기준을 만족함과 동시에 전력 비용을 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

혼합배양중의 각 미생물의 생균수 측정은 순수배양보다 훨씬 복잡하다. 특히 두 균주의 크기가 비슷한 경우에는 사용할 수 있는 방법이 더 제한된다. 본 연구에서는 두 균의 크기가 비슷한 경우에도 적용될 수 있는 간단한 생균수 측정방법을 개발하였다. 미생물 배양액의 산소흡수속도(OUR)는 세포수에 비례하며 이때의 비례상수인 최대 비산소흡수속도( maximum specific OUR)를 알고 있으면 배양액의 OUR을 측정함으로써 간접적으로 생균수를 구할 수 있게된다. 혼합배양의 경우 산소흡수속도는 각 미생물의 호흡속도의 합이 되며, 각 미생물의 호흡속도가 서로 다르고 또한 온도의존성이 다르다면 호흡속도의 측정을 이용하여 각 생균수를 간접적으로 측정할 수 있다.
