In this paper, the effects of water contents on combustion characteristics of paper sludge and capacity of fluidized bed combustor(FBC) were investigated using 0.26m diameter, 1.75m height pilot-plant scale combustor. Combustion tests of paper sludge containing water contents between 40wt% and 50wt% were performed. The temperature and emission variation, the pressure inside combustor were measured to monitor the fluidization quality. The experimental results showed that 30kg/hr feeding rate of sludge containing water up to 45wt% was preferable for this system. Sludge loading rate, heat release rate were calculated from experimental data as major parameters showing FBC capacity. Comparsion with sludge loading rate from other source was also performed

Effect of organic loading rate on UASB performance was evaluated under the renditions of some surface area/reactor volume ratio and different reactor diameter. At the low leading rate of 0.4 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, reactor performance was not affected by reactor diameter. At the organic loading rate of 6 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, however, volatile acid accumulation and low COD removal efficiency is observed in reactor having 6.4 cm diameter, while volatile acid is not accumulated at all and high COD removal efficiency is observed in reactor having 3 cm diameter. Such a difference of reactor performance depending on reactor diameter can be explained that sludge bed can be fluidized by evolved gas bubble in narrow reactor, while sludge bed ran not be fluidized by evolved gas bubble only in wide reactor. At a high organic loading rate of 20 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, it can be judged that there is no relation between reactor configuration and reactor performance because all reactors showed very low COD removal efficiencies regardless of reactor diameter. Narrow and tall type reactor is favorable condition for making sludge bed fluidization at a constant surface area/reactor volume ratio. Thus, it can be judged that reactor configuration and sludge bed fluidization have great influence to reactor performance.

The characteristics of wastewater treatment according to operating condition of indirectly aerated fluidized bed filled with sand media were studied experimentally, and the obtained results were as follows; 1. During be operated under the BOD loading rate, $4.5kg-BOD/m^3{\cdot}day$, effluent SS according to the increase of recirulation velocities was gradually decreased. 2. According to the increase of media concentration, sludge convertion rate was gradually increased. 3. Under the same BOD loading rate, according to the increase of recirulation velocities, F/M ratio was gradually increased, however, sludge convertion rate was greatly decreased. On the other hand, inffluent BOD concentration has not an important effect. 4. Under the constant recirulation velocities, according to the increase of BOD loading rate, sludge convertion rate was gradually increased. 5. Under the same BOD loading rate, according to the increase of recirulation velocities, oxygen consumpion rate of microorgnism was gradually increased.

유기물과 질소를 동시에 제거하기 위하여 연속회분식으로 운전한 MBR (membrane bioreactor)시스템에서 미생물농도와 슬러지 부하량이 막오염과 미생물 활성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 막오염은 MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solid) 농도 증가에 따라 조금씩 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 그 효과는 비포기 조건보다 포기 조건에는 좀더 두드러지게 나타났다. MLSS 농도는 막오염에 직접적인 커다란 영향을 주지는 않으나, 지나치게 높은 MLSS에서 유도되는 낮은 슬러지 부하에서는 막오염이 크게 증가하는 현상이 발견되었고, 이러한 조건에서는 포기에 의한 막 세척 효과도 크게 줄어들었다. 미생물의 개별 활성도는 슬러지 부하가 감소할수록 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다 반응조 전체 활성도 또한 17,000 mg/L 이상의 높은 MLSS로부터 유도되는 낮은 슬러지 부하율에서는 높은 미생물 농도에도 불구하고 오히려 감소했는데 이는 기질 부족으로 인한 경쟁으로 활성도가 떨어지고, 용액의 점성 증가로 인해 산소 전달율이 저하되었기 때문이다.

Sewage sludge produced in Korea was 1,275,800 tons (dewatered sludge cake) per year in 1996, which is 3,495 tons per day, 0.303% of 11,526,100 tons per day of sewage treated in 79 sewage treatment plants. Sludge production has been and will be increasing in accordance with construction of new facilities for sewage treatment. Most of the sludge is currently disposed by landfill and ocean dumping, but it is becoming difficult to find suitable sites for landfill, particularly in big cities such as Seoul. In addition, rapid increase of landfill cost is anticipated in a near future. Current trend for sludge disposal in advanced countries is land application. Over the past 10 to 20 years in the United States, sludge management practices have changed significantly, moving from disposal to beneficial use. They use biosolid for utilization instead of sludge for disposal. Under the Clean Water Act of 1972, amended in 1987 by Congress, the U.S. EPA was required to develop regulations for the use and disposal of sewage sludge. The EPA assessed the potential for pollutants in sewage sludge to affect public health and the environment through a number of different routes of exposure. The Agency also assessed the potential risk to human health through contamination of drinking water sources or surface water when sludge is disposed on land. The Final Rules were signed by the EPA Administrator and were published (Federal Register, 1993). These rules state that sewage sludge shall not be applied to land if the concentration of any pollutant in the sludge exceeds the ceiling concentration. In addition, the cumulative loading rate for each pollutant shall not exceed the cumulative pollutant loading rate nor should the concentration of each pollutant in the sludge exceed the monthly average concentration for the pollutant. The annual pollutant loading rate generally applies to applications of sewage sludge on agricultural lands. The most popular beneficial use of sewage sludge is land application. The sludge has to be stabilized for appling to land. One of the stabilization process for sewage sludge is lime stabilization process. The stabilization process is consisted of the stabilizing process and the drying process. Stabilization reactor can be a drum type reactor in which a crossed mixer is equipped. The additive agents are a very reactive mixture of calcium oxide and others. The stabilized sludge is dried in sun drier or rotary kiln.

As the paper industry consumes much water in process and discharge wastewater containing suspended solid and COD(chemical oxygen demand), relevant law against this discharge has been set up to limit the total containment of COD in discharge. This study has been carried out to improve the treatment method for the soluble COD in wastewater produced during the process of paste-board production, which is made of semichemical pulp and waste paper. Applicated methods are, O$_2$AS : O$_2$ activated sludge process DAS : Deep well activated sludge process SAS : standard activated sludge process and proper combination of DAS and SAS 1) As a result of this experiment, we get the following conclusion between in COD sludge loading "X" and COD removable rate in the process of treating waste-water. COD removable rate(％)=(0.778+0.0146/X)${\times}$100(％)……(7) 2) In case that the COD sludge loading is high, it has been cleared out that the COD removable rate shall become low due to unknown unsoluble substances contained in the process. Meanwhile, to increase the efficiency rate of treatment, it is thought to be necessary, to provide long-time contacts with activated sludge. 3) Once the COD of original waste-water and the target COD of treated water are decided, COD sludge loading is obtained from equation(7), and capacity of aeration tank in the effective systems such as O$_2$AS, DAS, to bet the required COD removable rate can be decided. Therefore the choice among SAS, O$_2$AS, DAS methods is made in consideration of required COD removable rate and allowable installation area. 4) In the sedimentation tank with sludge bulking, it is possible to increase the COD removable rate by 3～7％ but still there exist many obstacles to manage this operation.

혐기성 소화조의 단면적/용량 비를 일정하게 한 상태에서 반응조 직경만을 달리한 반응조에 유기물 부하율에 따른 소화조 운전효율을 평가하였다. $0.4\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$의 낮은 유기물 부하율에서는 반응조 직경에 관계없이 높은 처리 효율을 나타내어 반응조 형상에 따른 처리효율 차이는 없었다. $6\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$의 유기물 부하율에서는 반응조 직경에 따라 전혀 다른 처리효율이 관측되었다. 즉, 직경 6.4 cm 반응조에서는 휘발성산의 축적과 낮은 COD 제거효율이 관측되었으나 직경 3 cm 반응조에서는 높은 COD 제거효율이 관측되었고 휘발성산의 축적도 일어나지 않았다. 이러한 차이가 나타나게 된 이유는 직경이 작은 반응조의 경우에는 생성된 가스의 부상에 의해 슬러지층의 유동화가 원활하게 일어난데 반해 직경이 큰 반응조의 경우에는 그렇지 못한 것이라고 판단된다. $20\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$의 높은 유기물 부하율에서는 반응조 직경과는 관계없이 극히 낮은 처리효율을 나타내어 높은 유기물 부하에서는 반응조 형상과 처리효율과는 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 혐기성 소화조의 효율적인 start-up은 슬러지층의 유동화가 중요한 인자이며 동일 단면적/용량 비에서 반응조 직경이 작을수록 유리한 것으로 나타나 반응조 형상도 반응조 운전효율에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

There are two types of rectangular secondary clarifier at biological nutrient removal (BNR) facility to settle MLSS; conventional activated sludge secondary clarifier and Gould Type I clarifier. In this study, the performances of two types at respective biological nutrient removal facility are compared using weekly operational data. Surface Overflow Rate (SOR), Surface Loading Rate (SLR), Sludge Volume Index (SVI), secondary effluent SS concentration are studied. It has found that Gould Type I has 3.5 times less average secondary effluent SS concentration that is 2.4 mg/L than that of conventional activated sludge secondary clarifier. Both SOR and SLR have shown little effect on secondary effluent SS concentrations at Gould Type I clarifier in contrary that SOR affects the secondary effluent SS concentrations at conventional activated sludge rectangular secondary clarifier. From this study, it is recommended that Gould Type I must be considered for secondary clarifier when BNR plant is designed.

The purpose of this research was to investigate loading rate of influent for acidogenic fermentation. Laboratory batch experiments were conducted, at $35^{\circ}C$, HRT 18hr, pH 6 and used 3.5L reactor. Loading rate of influent was varied 2.0 to 4.0g VSS/L, TOA concentration is decreased according to increasing loading rate Over 2.5g VSS/L. When loading rate is 2.0g VSS/L, hydrolysis percentage show the maximum value of 87%. Most of SCFA is consist of HAc, HPr, I-HBu and MBu. HAc concentration is 5,233mg/L in the 2.0g VSS/L condition. So, for this study, we think that limiting loading rate is 2.5g VSS/L. SCFA species was investigated to HAc, HPr, I-HBu and n-HBu during our studying. HAc/SCFA ratio is about 89.3%, SCFA production rate is highest to $1,104mg\;COD/L/d{\cdot}gPCOD$ for 2.0g VSS/L loading rate.
