The purpose of this study is to derive the correlation between the Specific Phosphorus Release Rate (SPRR), Specific Phosphorus Uptake Rate (SPUR) and Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR) at various Sludge Retention Time (SRT) condition in the A/O process. The laboratory scale reactor was operated on various SRT (10 day, 20 day, 30 day, 40 day). In this study, the SPRR, SPUR and SOUR tended to decrease with the SRT increase. Empirical equations was be obtained $y=4.54E-006x^2+0.0007x-0.0315$, $R^2=0.925$ (SOUR vs. SPRR) and $y=3.22E-006x^2+0.0004x-0.0173$, $R^2=0.928$ (SOUR vs. SPUR) from the relationship between SRT, SPRR and SPUR and SOUR. Therefore, the anaerobic tank design based on the research result such as SPRR, SPUR of a phosphorus design and SOUR would be possible.

In existing design method for aeration tank water temperature was considered as governing variable for applying safety factor. This study tried a few new approach of aeration tank design using SOUR at various temperature conditions. Specific substrate utilization rate (U) and specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) both were analyzed at various temperature and SRT. The laboratory scale reactor was operated on various temperature ($10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$) and SRT (5day, 10day, 20day, 30day). In this study, SOUR tended to increase with the temperature increased. On the other hand, SOUR tended to decrease when SRT increased from 5 days to 30 days. Empirical equations were obtained SOUR=a/SRT+b and $SOUR=(a/m){\cdot}U+(b-a(n/m))$ from the relationship between SRT, U and SOUR. Empirical equations shows the possibility as a new design method for the aeration basin.

Fluoride can be easily found in semiconductor and display industry. However, there is a lack of research for its effects on the related wastewater treatment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the microbial inhibitory effect by fluoride injection. The research entailed the assessment of removal efficiency of $TCOD_{Cr}$ according to the fluoride concentration and also the Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR) was measured. The laboratory scale reactor was prepared and operated with the fluoride concentrations of 0, 10, 50, 100, and 200 mg/L based on concentrations frequently occurring in the wastewater. The results from this study showed that, as the fluoride concentration increase, the Specific Substrate Utilization Rate (SSUR) tend to decrease as expected. Also, the increase in fluoride concentrations resulted in the decrease in SOUR. It is determined that fluoride injection affects the microbial activity. Especially, The addition of above 200 mg/L fluoride into reactor caused rapidly decreased SSUR and SOUR due to the inhibitory effects of fluoride.

A sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) operated with a cycle of anaerobic - aerobic - anoxic - aerobic has been evaluated for the nutrient removal characteristics. The sponge-like moving media was filled to about 10% of reactor volume. The sewage was the major substrate while external synthetic carbon substrate was added to the anoxic stage to enhance the nitrogen removal. The operational results indicated that maximum T-N and T-P removal efficiencies were 97% and 94%, respectively were achieved, while COD removal of 92%. The observations of significant nitrogen removal in the first aerobic stage indicated that nitrogen removal behaviour in this SBBR was different to conventional SBR. Although the reasons for aerobic nitrogen removal has speculated to either simultaneous nitrification and denitrification or anoxic denitrification inside of the media, further researches are required to confirm the observation. The specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) test with biofilm and suspended growth sludge indicated that biofilm in SBBR played a major role to remove substrates.

The effects of coagulants on the microorganisms when they are injected directly into the biological treatment facility for T-P removal have been easily observed from the results of past experiments. As such this study is set out to derive the effective plans for the coagulant dosage by analyzing the effects of the injected coagulant on the microbial activity during the chemical treatment for T-P removal. The research methods entailed the assessment of removal efficiency of T-P according to the coagulant dosage while changing the molar ration between Alum and influent phosphorus. At the same time Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR) according to the coagulant dosage was measured. SOUR was used as a method for indirect assessment of the microbial activity according to the coagulant dosage. The results from the study showed that with the increase in the alum dosage, the removal efficiency T-P tended to increase. On the other hand, the increase in coagulant dosage resulted in the decrease in SOUR, which indicates the decrease in the microbial activity. Such reduction in the activity could be explained by the increase in the concentration of removal efficiency of $TBOD_5$. Based on experiment results from the study, it is determined that coagulant dosage affects the microbial activity. Moreover, the indirect assessment on the microbial activity using SOUR is considered possible.

산소를 많이 소비하는 발효공정일수록 배양액중의 용존산소의 농도가 목적생산물의 생산성에 많은 영향을 주는 경우가 많다. 때문에 고농도 발효에 앞서, 발효조의 sparging hole로부터 임펠러 높이에 따른 산소전달 능력을 알아본 결과 공기공급이 1 vvm, 교반속도가 600 rpm에서 산소전달계수($K_La$)는 2.67($min^{-1}$)으로 가장 높았다. 배양 시 용존산소 농도를 20% 이상 유지시켰을 때 온도에 따른 k6ub/IFN-${\alpha}1$ 생성은 $30^{\circ}C$에서 세포증식을 하고 $25^{\circ}C$에서 IPTG로 Induction 하였을 때 발현율이 6.43mg/ml로 total protein의 37%로 가장 많은 양이 발현되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 용존산소 농도에 따른 k6ub/IFN-${\alpha}1$의 발현양은 용존산소 농도가 35%일 때 가장 높은 수율을 나타냈다. 용존산소량은 산소소비 속도를 측정함으로써 정확한 임계점을 찾을 수 있었는데 용존산소량이 35% 유지될 때 산소 전달 속도와 비교하여 가장 적당한 산소공급량임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 기존 정수처리 공정에 하향류식 호기성 생물여과 공정을 설치하였을 때 적정 위치를 선정하고자, 응집/침전 전(Mode A)에 BAF 공정을 설치하였을 때와 응집/침전 후(Mode B)에 BAF 공정을 설치하였을 때의 부유성 입자물질, 유기물, 암모니아성 질소 제거효율을 비교하고자 하였다. 운전결과 입자성물질(turbidity, SS)의 제거효율은 모든 EBCT에 걸쳐 Mode A, B 모두 약 80% 정도의 효율을 보였으며 Mode A에서의 효율이 다소 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 유기물질($BOD_5$) 제거 및 질산화 효율도 90% 이상으로 나타났으며 Mode A에서 의 효율이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 생물막 두께 및 양은 EBCT가 증가할수록 커졌으며, 기질이 유입되는 상부에서 하부에 비해 약 30% 이상 미생물량이 많았다. 비산소소비속도(SOUR)는 기질이 유입되는 반응기 상부, Mode A에서 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 약품주입량 비교 시 Mode A가 경제적인 것으로 나타났다. 기존상수처리공정과 Mode A에 대한 경제성 분석결과 연간 응집제를 67%, 염소주입량을 95% 가량 절감할 것으로 조사되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 RO 농축수 내 TDS 제어에 따른 고농도 질산성 질소의 효율적인 생물학적 처리에 있다. 실험실 규모의 실험에서는 연속회분식 반응기를 이용하여 연구를 수행하였으며 TDS의 주입조건에 따른 비탈질율, 비산소소비율 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 연속회분식 반응기를 이용한 운전에 따라 탈질 공정 내 고농도 TDS 주입에 따라 탈질 반응이 지연되어 SDNR이 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 미생물 활성도가 또한 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 질산성 질소의 원활한 처리를 위하여 TDS 제어가 수반되어야 하며 특히, $Ca^{2+}$의 중점적인 처리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 본 연구를 통하여 도출된 SDNR, SOUR 값은 호기성 그래뉼 슬러지를 이용한 RO 농축수의 생물학적 처리를 위한 공정 설계인자로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
