In order to improve reactor performance of existing sewage treatment plants, the feasibility of enhancing reactor performance by bioaugmentation using EM as bioaugmentation agent and the effects of anoxic: oxic time ratio on reactor performance were investigated. Continuous and intermittent aeration modes were compared under the 6 hr of HRT. Three different types of intermittent aeration modes, that is, 15 min, of anoxic:45 min of oxic, 30 min of anoxic: 30 min of oxic, and 45 min of anoxic: 15 min oxic respectively were chosen as test modes to study the effects of anoxic : oxic time ratios on reactor performance. The optimum anoxic: oxic time ratio was 30 min:30 min when considering simultaneous removal of organic, nitrogen and phosphorus. When applying EM into a continuously aerated reactor under the varying dosing rates of 50-200 ppm, reactor performance in terms of organic and nitrogen removal efficiencies was not improved at all. Nitrogen removal efficiency was increase when the EM dosing rate was increased. However the degree of improvement was slight when the EM was injected above 100 ppm. However optimum phosphorus removal was found at the EM dosing of 200 ppm. Thus it was found that optimum injection concentration of EM is 200 ppm. It is apparent that putting EM into a sewage treatment plant significantly affects the T-N removal efficiency of the reactor by enhancing denitrification efficiency especially in operational conditions of relatively long anoxic periods. To achieve reciprocal condition in a reactor with intermittent aeration it is necessary to enhance the reactor performance by EM injection. In the case of modifying existing continuously aerated reactors into intermittent aerated reactors, it is obvious that operating costs of aeration would be reduced by reducing aeration time when compared with existing conventional sewage treatment plants.

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.

This study was conducted to remove organics and nutrients using 2 stage intermittent aeration reactor. First reactor, using suspended microbial growth in intermittent aeration instead of anaerobic reactor in the typical BNR process, used minimum carbon source to release P, and it was possible to reduce ammonia loading going to second reactor. In the second reactor, using moving media intermittent aeration, it was effective to reduce nitrate in non-aeration time by attached microorganisms having long retention time. In aeration time, nitrification and P uptake were taken place simultaneously. From the experiment, two major results were as follows. First, the removal of organics was more than 90%, and optimum aeration/non-aeration time ratio for organic removal was corresponded with aeration/non-aeration time ratio for nitrogen removal. Second, in the first reactor, optimum aeration/non-aeration time ratio was 15/75 (min.) because it was necessary to maintain 75 min. of non-aeration time to suppress of impediment of return nitrate and to lead release of phosphate. In the second reactor, optimum aeration/non-aeration time ratio was 45/90 (min.).

This study was carried out to obtain the operating characteristics of SMMIAR process for biological nitrogenㆍphosphorus removal. SMMIAR was operated at HLR(Hydraulic loading rate) of 39.6, 52.8, 63.4 and 79.2 $\ell$/$m^2$/d respectively and the operating parameters such as intermittent aeration time ratio of aerobic/anoxic, DO and microorganism concentration were changed to confirm the optimum operating condition. The concentrations of the wastewater BOD, TN(Total nitrogen) and TP(Total phosphorus) were 150, 30 and 7.5mg/$\ell$ respectively. Achieving better removal efficiencies of BOD, TN and TP up to 90, 85.4 and 95.4% respectively, we must keep in operation condition of SMMIAR by 0.75 of time ratio of aerobic/anoxic and by minimum 45 minutes of oxic period simultaneously.

The aim of this study was to evaluate on the removal effect of total nitrogen in municipal wastewater by decreasing hydraulic retention time(HRT) from 6 hour to 4 hour on CNR process. CNR-A(Cilia Nutrient Removal) is the process combining A2/O process with cilium media of H2L corporation. The removal efficiencies for T-N were 63.1% in A-1 reactor, and 73.5% in A-2 reactor and 77.0% in A-3 reactor. The specific nitrification(g-NH3-N/g-MLVSS.d) of Oxic in CNR-A process was 0.07-0.32. The specific denitrification in Anoxic and the specific nitrification inOxic was higher in HRT 4 hour because of optimum F/M ratio.

폐수를 재이용하기 위한 고도처리 시스템으로서 분리막 생물반응조(Membrane Bioreactor, MBR)는 기존의 활성슬러지 공정(Activated Sludge Process, ASP)에 비하여 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 도시 하수 중에 포함된 유기물과 영양염류를 동시에 제거하기 위하여 침지형 정밀여과(Microfiltration, MF) 막을 이용한 무산소/호기(Anoxic/Oxic, A/O)형 MBR에서 투과플럭스를 $10.2L/m^2{\cdot}h$로 일정하게 유지하면서 고형물 체류시간(Solids Retention Time, SRT) 변화에 따른 막 여과 특성을 조사하였다. 실험 결과, SRT를 증가시킬수록 체외고분자물질(Extracellular Polymeric Substances, EPS)내 단백질/탄수화물(Protein/Carbohydrate, P/C) 비가 높아져서 막 오염이 빠르게 진행되었다. A/O MBR에 RO막을 결합한 A/O MBR-RO 공정을 폐수의 고도처리에 적용하고자 하였으며, 성능평가를 위해 A/O MBR-RO 공정과 기존의 활성슬러지 공정에 MF와 RO막을 결합한 ASP-MF-RO 공정의 유기물 및 영양염류 제거율을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 A/O MBR-RO 공정이 ASP-MF-RO 공정보다 더 우수한 처리효율을 나타내었다.

A natural wetland in the Nakdong River basin which effectively removes non-point source pollutants was investigated for 2 years to understand wetland topography, vegetation types, and water quality characteristics. The water depth of the natural wetland was in the range of 0.5~1.9 m which is suitable for the growth of non-emergent hydrophytes. The wetland has a high length to width ratio (3.3:1) and a relatively large wetland to watershed area ratio (0.057). A broad-crested weir at the outlet increases the retention time of the wetland whose hydrology is mainly dependent on storm events. The concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the growing season and the winter season showed anoxic and oxic conditions, respectively. Diurnal variations of DO and pH in the growing season were also observed due to weather change and submerged plants. COD and TP concentrations were low in the winter season due to low inflow rate and increased retention time. Increased TP concentrations in the spring season were caused by degradation of dead wetland plants. Nitrogen in the wetland was mostly in organic nitrogen form (>75%). During the growing season, ammonium concentration was high but nitrate nitrogen concentration was low, possibly due to anoxic and low pH conditions which are adverse conditions for ammonificaiton and nitrification. The results of this study can be used as preliminary data for design, operation, monitoring and management of a constructed wetland which is designed to treat diffuse pollutants in the Nakdong river watershed.

Objectives: The purpose of this experiment is to understand the phosphorus removal ratio effects of iron plates per unit of surface area through the iron electrolysis system, which consists of an anoxic basin, aerobic basin, and iron precipitation apparatus. Methods: Iron electrolysis, which uses an iron precipitation reactor in anoxic and oxic basins, consisted of iron plates with total areas of 400 $cm^2$, 300 $cm^2$ and 200 $cm^2$ respectively. The FNR process was operated with a hydraulic retention time and a sludge retention time of 12 hours and three days, respectively. Wastewater used in the experiments was prepared by dissolving $KH_2PO_4$ in influent water. Results: The iron plates 400 $cm^2$ (16.6 $mA/cm^2$), 300 $cm^2$ (13.3 $mA/cm^2$) and 200 $cm^2$ (7.3 $mA/cm^2$) in surface area in the phosphorus reactor had respective phosphorus of 2.4 mg/l, 2.7 mg/l and 3.2 mg/l in the effluent and phosphorus removal respective efficiencies of 90.3%, 89.1% and 87.1%. The effluent in the reactor, where the iron plate was not used, had relatively very low phosphorus removal efficiency showing phosphorus concentration of 15.3 mg/l and a phosphorus removal efficiency about 38.3%. Phosphorus removal per ferrous was 0.472 mgP/mgFe in the iron electrolysis system where the surface area of iron was low. Phosphorus pollution load per active surface area and the phosphorus removal efficiency had an interrelation of RE = -0.27LS + 89.0 (r = 0.85). Conclusion: With larger iron plate surface area, the elution of iron concentration and phosphorus removal efficiency was higher. The removal efficiency of phosphorus has decreased by increasing the initial phosphate concentration in the iron electrodes. This shows a tendency of decreasing phosphorus removal efficiency because of decreasing of iron deposition as the phosphorus pollution load per active surface area increases.

There are a lot of parameters affecting microbial acclimation/cultivation characteristics such as dynamic conditions, F/M ratio and substrate affinity. From the process control point of view, the effect of high salinity on the removal efficiencies of BOD and SS have been documented by few researchers. In this research, lab-scale CAS(Conventional Activated Sludge) process and modified $A_2O$(Anaerobic/Anoxic/Oxic) process were operated and monitored to evaluate the characteristics of microbial acclimation and cultivation under high salinity wastewater during the period of three weeks. As a result of acute microbial activity test(6hr) at various $Cl^-$ concentration, the appropriate $Cl^-$ concentration for microbial growth and acclimation ranged under 3,100 mg/l. As a result of acclimation/cultivation test, the trend of COD removal efficiency reduced gradually as time elapsed. It is considered that $NH_4$-N removal phenomenon of the conventional pollutants removal mechanisms gave little effect to the microbial acclimation/cultivation under high salinity wastewater.

유기물이 많이 유입되는 해상어류가두리 양식장 퇴적물에서 전극 크기가 25$mu extrm{m}$인 미세전극을 이용하여 공극수의 산소, 황화수소, pH의 미세연직 농도를 측정하였다. 산소와 황화수소의 연직분포에서 얻어진 미세구간에 1차 확산ㆍ반응모델을 적용하여 각 구간에서의 산소 소모율, 황화수소 산화율, 황산염의 환원율을 추정하였다. 산소투과깊이는 0.75 mm였으며, 미세구간은 상부와 하부층 2개로 나누어졌다. 산소소모는 황화수소의 산화 영향으로 상부층에 비해 하부층에서 높았고 총산소소모플럭스는 0.092 $\mu$mol $O_2$$cm^{-2}$ $hr^{-1}$였다. 산화층에서 황화수소 산화는 0.7 mm 두께에서 0.030$\mu$mo1 H$_2$S $cm^{-2}$ $hr^{-1}$의 결과를 나타냈으며, 이 곳에서 황화수소의 turnover time은 약 2분으로 화학적 산화와 생물학적 산화가 동시에 일어나고 있었다. 황화수소와 산소의 소모율 비는 0.84로 황화수소 산화에 산소 이외의 다른 전자수용체가 사용되거나 산소-황화수소 경계면 주변에서 황 침전의 가능성을 시사하고 있었다. 추정된 총 황산염 환원 플럭스는 0.029$\mu$mol $cm^{-2}$ $hr^{-1}$로서 총산소소모플럭스의 60% 이상을 차지하고 있어 무산소 환경에서 유기물 분해가 산화환경에서보다 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.
