With the increasing demand for enzymes in industrial applications there is a growing need to easily produce industrially important microbial enzymes. This study was carried out to screen the indigenous refinery bacterial isolates for their production of two industrially important enzymes i.e. lipase and protease. A total of 15 bacterial strains were isolated using Soil Extract Agar media from the oil-contaminated environment and one was shown to produce high quality lipase and protease enzymes. The culture conditions (culture duration, temperature, source of nitrogen, carbon, and pH) were optimized to produce the optimum amount of both the lipase (37.6 ± 0.2 Uml-1) and the protease (41 ± 0.4 Uml-1) from this isolate. Productivity of both enzymes was shown to be maximized at pH 7.5 in a medium containing yeast extract and peptone as nitrogen sources and sucrose and galactose as carbon sources when incubated at 35 ± 1℃ for 48 h. Bacterial strain SAB06 was identified as Bacillus licheniformis (MT250345) based on biochemical, morphological, and molecular characteristics. Further studies are required to evaluate and optimize the purification and characterization of these enzymes before they can be recommended for industrial or environmental applications.

Constructed wetlands and other aquatic systems have been successfully used for waste and wastewater treatment in either temperate or tropical regions. To treat waste or wastewater in a sustainable manner, the integrated eco-engineering designs are explained in this paper with 2 case studies: (i) a combination of vertical-flow constructed wetland (CW) with plant irrigation systemfor fecal sludge management and (ii) integrated CW units with landscaping at full-scale application for domestic wastewater treatment. The pilot-scale study of fecal sludge management employed 3 vertical-flow CW units, each with a dimension of $5{\times}5{\times}0.65m$ (width ${\times}$ length ${\times}$ media depth) and planted with cattails (Typha augustifolia). At the solid loading rate of 250 kg total solids (TS)/$m^2.yr$ and a 6-day percolate impoundment, the CW system could achieve chemical oxygen demand (COD), TS and total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) removal efficiencies in the range of 80 - 96%. The accumulated sludge layers of about 80 - 90 cm was found at the CW bed surface after operating the CW units for 7 years, but no clogging problem has been observed. The CW percolate was applied to 16 irrigation Sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus) plots, each with a dimension of $4.5{\times}4.5m$ ($width{\times}length$). In the study, the CW percolate were fed to the treatment plots at the application rate of 7.5 mm/day but the percolate was mixed with tap water at different ratio of 20%, 80% and 100%. Based on a 1-year data of 3-crop plantation were experimented, the contents of Zn, Mn and Cu in soil of the experimental plots were found to increase with increasing in CW percolate ratios. The highest plant biomass yield and oil content of 1,000 kg/ha and 35%, respectively, were obtained from the plots fed with 20% or 50% of the CW percolate, whereas no accumulation of heavy metals in the plant tissues (i.e. leaves, stems and flowers) of the sunflower is found. In addition to the pilot-scale and field experiments, a case study of the integrated CW systems for wastewater treatment at Phi Phi Island (a Tsunami-hit area), Krabi province, Thailand is illustrated. The $5,200-m^2$ CW systems on Phi Phi Island are not only for treatment of $400m^3/day$ wastewater from hotels, households or other domestic activities, but also incorporating public consultation in the design processes, resulting in introducing the aesthetic landscaping as well as reusing of the treated effluent for irrigating green areas on the Island.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of initial concentration on pilot-scale composting of diesel-con-laminated soil. Sandy soi] was used in this study. Target contaminant, diesel oil, was spiked. at about 10,000, 25,000, and 50,000 mg TPH/kg of dry roil. Mit ratio of soil to sludge was 1:0.5 as wet weight basis. Removal efficiencies for initial concentrations of 12,966,23,894 and 51,042 mg TPH/kg were 90, 93 and 54％, respectively, during 33 days of composting. Normal alkanes in TPH ranged from 15 to 22％ in initial soils. Volatilization of individual normal alkane in 1,999 mg n-alkanes/kgwas completed within 4 days, while n-alkane compounds of Cl1-Cl4 in 5,270 and 9,836 mg n-alkanes/kg were volatilized continuously during 33 days of composing operation. The first order degradation rate con-stants for 12,966, 23,894, and 51,042 mg TPH/kg were 0.058, 0.076, and 0.022/day, and those for 1,997 5,270, and 9,836 mg n-alkanes/kg were 0.093, 0.100, and 0.019/day, respectively. Considering TPH removal rate, $CO_2$porduction rate, and dehydrogenase activity, the concentration of 51,042 mg TPH/kg inhibited biodegradation of diesel-composting.

This work aims to investigate the oily wastewater treatment by the electrocoagulation-flotation (ECF) and propose a mathematical model for the efficiency prediction. Cutting oil was used to prepare the synthetic oily wastewater with submicron droplet sizes. The chemical coagulation by aluminium sulfate was firstly tested following by the electrocoagulation-flotation with aluminium electrodes. Both processes gave the effective treatment performance with the efficiencies higher than 90%. However, the ECF consumed less aluminium dosage as well as produced less sludge, which were its advantage on the chemical coagulation. The performance of the ECF was found to be affected by the current density, oil concentration, and reaction time according to the analysis by the design of experiment (DOE). Finally, the prediction model was proposed by two approaches, including linear and logarithm function. The latter model gave more accuracy prediction results in terms of treatment efficiency and duration in the lag and stable stages.

The purpose of the study was to get the valuable data for developing the new natural fat soaps which have an excellent biodegradation performance. Thus, natural fat soaps mixed with the two types of detergents (AOS and LAS) on the various concentrations were made and the biodegradation of the samples were analysed by Dissolved Oxygen method using active sludge. Also, the results were compared with the commercial synthetic detergents and market soaps. The results from the study were the followings: 1. The plant fat soap and the wasted oil soap with the concentration of 5 mg/l and 15 mg/l had an excellent biodegradation rather than animal fat soap. 2. There was little difference among samples with the concentration of 5 mg/l, but there was much difference among them with the concentration of 15 mg/l. 3. The periods for consuming oxygen of wasted oil soap mixed AOS and LAS was the fastest.

대량 발생되어 환경 문제를 유발하는 폐플라스틱의 처리방법으로 열분해에 의한 대체 연료유 생산 기술이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 폐플라스틱의 발생 현황, 국내외 유화 기술 현황, 유화의 기본적인 공정 기술과 문제점, 그리고 한국에너지기술연구원에서 개발된 유화의 신기술을 소개하였다. 이 공정의 특징은 열가소성 폐플라스틱이 혼합된 원료에 대해 공정 운전의 자동화에 의한 연속 운전이 가능하고, 반응 공정이 무촉매이지만 왁스 생성을 최소화한 순환식 분해 반응 공정이며, 또한 생성 가스의 재 사용과 슬러지로 부터 오일 회수에 의한 배출 산사물의 양을 줄이는 등의 특징을 가진 경제적, 환경적으로 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 연간 300톤 규모의 파이롯트 플랜트 실험 결과는 정상 운전이 3일 이상의 연속 운전에 의해 오일 수율을 $81\%$ 정도 얻었다. 증류탑 상단과 하단에서 얻은 생성유는 각각 가솔린과 디젤인 경유보다 조금 높은 끊는점 분포를 보였다.
