The river water source of Saidabad Surface Water Treatment Plant at Dhaka, Bangladesh, is deteriorated too much to be treated by conventional treatment process due to excessive ammonia pollution. In order to improve the raw water quality before it enters into the main treatment chain, a pilot study was conducted for pre-treatment of the raw water. The objective is to investigate the rate of reduction of ammonia using the Meteor pilot, a biological pretreatment system, which is a laboratory scale Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor with a nominal volume of hundred liters, filled with 50 L of Meteor 660 media. The reduction of ammonia was quite significant on average 73%, while the reduction of COD was in a range from 20 to 60%. The Meteor pilot was able to treat and nitrify the raw water and produce an effluent that respects the guarantee of ammonia < $4.0mg\;NH_3-N/L$ when the raw water ammonia concentration was < $15mg\;NH_3-N/L$. The study identified operating parameters necessary to achieve the desired goal of adequate ammonia removal. The study results would benefit a range of systems across the country by providing guidance on the design and operation of a biological pre-treatment system for ammonia removal.

In spite of low energy requirement, and operation and construction cost, biofilters with soil beds have not been operated efficiently. Because of excess moisture in winter and rainy periods, saturated pores in the bed prevent passage and sorption of odorous compounds. Sometimes this results in septic conditions that release previously sorbed and oxidized sulfur. Therefore, an economical and effective alternative needs to be developed. The objectives of this study were to confirm applicability of the granular scrap tires with compost for treating odorous gas as well as to obtain optimum design parameters for proposed system. In lab-scaled test, multiple stage reactors had lower headloss than a single stage reactor and less headloss was occurred for the gas with higher moisture content. For practical purpose, pilot-scaled reactor was operated to remove odor from septic tank, manure and animal wastewater treatment plant and composting machine. According to the results of pilot scaled test, $H_2S$ can be always removed completely and ammonia/amine can be removed excellently when proper moisture content is provided. The results from lab and pilot test showed that granular scrap tire could be replaced with soil as supporting material for biofilter showed excellent drainage because of its ability to reject moisture.

Multivariate analysis and batch monitoring on a pilot-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) are described for integrated wastewater treatment management system, where a batchwise multiway independent component analysis method (MICA) are used to extract meaningful hidden information from non-Gaussian wastewater treatment data. Three-way batch data of SBR are unfolded batch-wisely, and then a non-Gaussian multivariate monitoring method is used to capture the non-Gaussian characteristics of normal batches in biological wastewater treatment plant. It is successfully applied to an 80L SBR for biological wastewater treatment, which is characterized by a variety of error sources with non-Gaussian characteristics. The batchwise multivariate monitoring results of a pilot-scale SBR for integrated wastewater treatment management system showed more powerful monitoring performance on a WWTP application than the conventional method since it can extract non-Gaussian source signals which are independent and cross-correlation of variables.

초음파 기술은 공동현상(cavitation)에 의한 산화분해 및 열분해 과정을 이용해 오염물질을 저감시키는 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있으나 대부분 저용량 소규모(Lab scale) 실험에 그치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대용량 연속식 처리가 가능한 Pilot Scale의 초음파 시스템을 개발하고, 분해 대상물질로 나프탈렌을 선정하여 개발된 시스템의 처리효율을 비교 검증하였다. 전반사가 유도된 최적의 다주파 조사 조건으로 V-$120^{\circ}$ 형태가 일반형에 비해 약 1.4~2.2배 우수한 효율을 나타내었다. V-$120^{\circ}$ 초음파 조사 형태, 연속식 처리가 가능하기 위한 유입 유출수 설치, 보조제 첨가부 및 외곽 냉각 순환시스템을 적용하여 총 3가지 형태의 pilot scale(20~40 L) 반응조를 제작하였다. 세 반응조의 나프탈렌 처리 결과는 모두 EPA의 나프탈렌 음용수 권고기준을 만족하였으며, 특히, 전반사 조건이 유도된 PS1과 PS2 type이 약 97% 이상의 우수한 분해효율을 보였다. 연속식(CSTR형) 처리 방식에서도 2.5~10 mg/L의 나프탈렌을 시간당 10~20 L를 처리한 결과 약 84~96%의 우수한 분해효율을 나타내었다. 인공 현장 지하수 조건에서의 초음파 적용시 초음파 효율의 큰 차이를 보이지 않아 개발된 본 시스템의 현장 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

An anaerobic sludge-aerobic fixed-bed biofilm(packed with ceramic support carrier of 1 inch size) reactor system was built up to treat textile wastewater. The efficiency of reactor system was examined by determining the effects of textile wastewater ratio(from 25% to 100% at HRT 24 h). The influent range of SCOD concentration and color were 1,036~1,357 mg/L, and 1,487~1,853 degree, respectively. When textile wastewater ratio was 100% and hydraulic retention time was 24 hours, SCOD removal efficiency by the anaerobic stage were 39.2% 100% and hydraulic retention time was 24 hours, SCOD removal efficiency by the anaerobic stage were 39.2% and the removal efficiency of the whole system were 75.8%. Color removal efficiency by the anaerobic stage were 45.4%(soluble color), and the removal efficiency of the whole system were 70.2%. In the A/A reactor system, the aerobic stage played an important role in removing both color and COD as well as anaerobic stage.

A feasibility of a pilot scale two-phase anaerobic digestion with ultra filtration system treating garbage leachate were evaluated. The treatment system consisted of a thermophilic acidogenic reactor, a mesophilic methanogenic reactor, and an UF membrane. The average COD removal efficiency of the treatment system was 95% up to the OLR of 3.1 g COD/L/d. The higher COD removal efficiency with membrane unit resulted from the removal of some portion of soluble organics by membrane as well as particulate materials. When the membrane unit was in operation, bulk liquid in acidogenic and methanogenic reactors was partially interchanged, which maintained the acidogenic reactor pH over 5.0 without external chemical addition. Also, with the production of methane in the acidogenic reactor, the organic loading rate of the methanogenic reactor reduced. The initial flux of the membrane unit was $50{\sim}60L/m^2/hr$, but decreased to $5 L/m^2/hr$ after 95 days of operation due to clogging caused by particulate materials such as fibrous materials in garbage leachate. To prevent clogging caused by particulate materials, a pretreatment system such as screening is required. With the improvement with membrane unit operation, the two-phase anaerobic digestion with ultra filtration system is expected to have the possibility of treating garbage leachate.

본 연구는 사여과지(砂濾過池)에 대한 여과저항이론(濾過抵抗理論)을 기초로 하여 폭기생물막(曝氣生物膜) 여과지(濾過池)의 여과저항이론을 구명(究明)하는 것이다. 여과저항(濾過抵抗)에 크게 영향을 미치는 인자로는 사여과지의 경우 주로 현탁성 부유물질인 반면에 폭기생물막 여과지의 경우는 여층(濾層)내의 여재(濾材)표면에 부착된 미생물막(微生物膜)의 증식(增殖)과 SS성분의 부착 그리고 상승하는 기포(氣泡)의 정체 등이 여충내의 여재간극(濾材間隙)을 폐새(閉塞)시킴으로서 여과저항(濾過抵抗)을 발생시킨다. 이러한 영향 인자들은 사여과저항(砂濾過抵抗) 이론(理論)에 접목시킨 결과 폭기생물막(曝氣生物膜) 이론식(理論式)을 도출할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 폭기생물막 여과저항 이론식을 pilot plant를 통한 수처리실험(水處理實驗) 결과 이론치와 실험치가 잘 일치함을 보임으로서 실제 여과지(濾過池) 설계시 적용가능함을 알 수 있었다.

A 5 ton/day pilot scale two-phase anaerobic digester was constructed and tasted to treat Korean food wastes in Anyang city. The process was developed based on 3 years of lab-scale experimental results on am optimim treatment method for the recovery of biogas and humus. Problems related to food waste are ever Increasing quantity among municipal solid wastes(MSW) and high moisture and salt contents. Thus our food waste produces large amounts of leachate and bed odor in landfill sites which are being exhausted. The easily degradable presorted food waste was efficiently treated in the two-phase anaerobic digestion process. The waste contained in plastic bags was shredded and then screened for the removal of inert material such as fabrics and plastics, and subsequently put into the two-stage reactors. Heavy and light inerts such as bones, shells, spoons and plastic pieces were again removed by gravity differences. The residual organic component was effectively hydrolyzed and acidified in the first reactor with 5 days space time at pH of about 6.5. The second, methanization reactor part of which is filled with anaerobic fillters, converted the acids into methane with pH between 7.4 to 7.8. The space time for the second reactor was 15 days. The effluent from the second reactor was recycled to the first reactor to provide alkalinities. The process showed stable steady state operation with the maximum organic rate of 7.9 $kgVS/m^3day$ and the volatile solid reduction efficiency of about 70%. The total of 3.6 tons presorted MSW containing 2.9 tons of food organic was treated to produce about $230m^3$ of biogas with 70% of methane and 80kg humus. This process is extended to full scale treating 15 tons of food waste a day in Euiwang city and the produced biogas is utilized for the heating/cooling of adjacent buildings.
