Using the hollow fiber membrane module in a lab-scale membrane bioreactor, the anoxic- oxic (AO) process for nitrogen removal was operated for about one year. For the influent wastewater containing 1,200-1,400 mg $1^{-1}$ of CODcr and 200-310 mg $1^{-1}$ of nitrogen, this process achieved a high quality effluent of less than 30 mgCOD $liter^{-1}$ and 50 mgN $liter^{-1}$. The removal rate of organics was above 98% at a loading rate larger than 2.5 kgCOD $m^{-3}$$d^{-1}$. When the internal recycle from the oxic to the anoxic reactor changed room 2n to 600% rout the influent flow rate, the nitrogen removal rate increased from about 70 to 90% at a loading rate of 0.4 kgT-N m-s d-1. The initial increase of transmembrane pressure (TMP) was observed after a 4-month operation while maintaining the flux and MLSS concentration at 7-9 1 $m^2$ $h^{-1}$ and 6,000-14,000 mg $1^{-1}$, respectively. The TMP could be maintained below 15 cmHg for an 8-month operation. The chemical cleaning with an acid followed by an immersion in an alkali solution gave better cleaning result with the membrane operated for 10 month rather than that only by an alkali immersion.

Purposes of this study were to evaluate operational performance of submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) combined with periodic chemical backwash. Five lab-scale submerged MBRs were performed in accordance with NaOH dose, backwash solution volume. While filtration resistance of MBR system without backwash (Control) was increased persistently from startup, those of four MBR systems (RUN 1-4) with chemical backwash were maintained at $(1.4{\pm}0.16){\times}10^{12}$, $(8.6{\pm}0.90){\times}10^{11}$, $(1.9{\pm}0.10){\times}10^{12}$, $(1.4{\pm}0.10){\times}10^{12}l/m$, respectively. Under chemical backwash condition of 0.0230 M, 375 mL, permeability of membrane was highest at flux of $30L/m^2/hr$. According to results from experiment that changing condition of dose and volume, it was estimated that effect of chemical dose acts more greatly than backwash solution volume. Because COD removal rates of all MBR systems with chemical backwash were more than 96%, it was proved that NaOH added to backwash solution did not affect microorganism.

Two-stage membrane bioreactor using submerged hollow fiber membrane was applied in laboratory scale to treat nitrogen and phosphorus of domestic wastewater. Alum as the flocculant and adsorbent was added into the anaerobic basin of two-stage membrane bioreactor and mixed liquid of aerabic basin was recycled to the anaerobic basin for the purpose of nitrogen removal. Experiment was carried out to find removal efficient of phosphorous and nitrogen components in the mixed liquid, and the stability of the permeate flux and pressure of two-stage membrane bioreactor. In case of alum was added as the flocculant and adsorbent into the anaerobic basin, soluble phosphorus removal efficient was relatively higher and total permeate resistance(Rtot) was more increased out nitrogen removal efficient was lower as the result of lack of alkalinity and insufficient nitrification process than the case of alum was not added.

A bench-scale submerged-type membrane filtration system (SMFS) was constructed to study a feasibility of membrane filtration for solid-liquid separation in water and wastewater treatment processes. In the case of applying the SMFS to a biological wastewater treatment process, so-called membrane bioreactor, aeration underneath membrane modules is usually employed in order to provide oxygen demand for microbial growth as well as to control membrane fouling. A study was investigated the effects of operation parameters by aeration intensity, feed concentration, foulant type and airlift pore size on critical flux. Critical flux tends to increase with aeration rate. Optimal aeration flow rate was found to be 10 L/min/module. Feed concentration and foulant type has a significant effect on membrane fouling and filtration performance. But downward position and pore size of airlift has no a significant effects on membrane fouling and filtration performance.

Submerged Membrane bioreactor (SMBR) is one of the last techniques that allow a high quality of treated industrial effluents by coupling biological treatment and membrane separation. Thus, this research was an effort to evaluate performance of a SMBR treating a model textile wastewater (MTWW). Different SMBR operating parameters like mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and Dissolved oxygen concentration, hydraulic retention time (HRT), and nutrients addition (N and P) have been investigated. MTWW (influent to the SMBR) was generated using the reactive azo-dye, Novacron blue FNG (100mg/L feed concentration). Results of MTWW treatment using SMBR under optimal operating conditions (MLSS, 4.2-13.3g/L; HRT, 4 days; pH, 6.9-7.2; conductivity, 400-900 μS/cm and temperature, 19.4-22.2 ℃) showed that COD and blue colour treatment performances are between 94-98% and 30-80%, respectively. It is concluded that SMBR can be used in large scale textile wastewater treatment plants to improve effluent quality in order to meet effluent discharge standards.

본 연구는 도시하수 처리를 위한 침지형 막 분리 활성슬러지법(membrane bioreactor: MBR) 시스템에서 막 재질 및 구조가 파울링에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE), polycarbonate(PCTE) 및 polyester(PETE)의 정밀여과 막(기공크기: 0.1 $\mu$m)을 사용하였다. 120일의 운전기간 동안 PETE막 여과속도는 다른 막들에 비해 가장 빠른 감소경향을 보였으나, 화학세정을 할수록 점차 PCTE 및 PTFE막과 유사한 여과속도 감소경향을 보였다. PETE막의 유기물 제거율이 다른 막들에 비해 약간 높게 나타났으며, 이것은 막의 빠른 파울링 발생과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 반응조내 슬러지 상징액 및 막 여과수에 존재하는 DOC성분을 친수성 및 소수성으로 분획한 결과, 본 연구에서는 막의 친수성/소수성이 MBR 파울링에 미치는 영향이 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 파울링이 발생한 막들의 각종 여과저항 값을 분석한 결과, PETE막은 비가역적 파울링에 의한 영향이 다른 막들에 비하여 컸으며, 유기물 제거율에도 긍정적인 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

From this research, the performances of a sludge reduction in the sewage sludge aerobic digestion was experimented by using a sludge pretreatment and membrane bioreactor. The submerged plate membrane was used as the solid-liquid separation membrane. After drawing small amounts of sludge in a bioreactor and then doing the alkaline treatment and ozone treatment, the sludge was sent to back to the reactor. The HRT in the reactor was set as 5 days and the operation in the reactor was carried out at the DO of 1mg/L on average. After 100 days of operation in the reactor, it was shown that the reduction efficiency of total solids was more than 83%. Most of volatile solids were removed through mineralization, and the considerable portion of the non-volatile solids was dissolved and then flowed out with the effluent. Only about 16.3% of total solids in the sludge was accmulated in the reactor even without the loss of volatile fraction. Also, by deriving nitrification and denitrification in one reactor simultaneously, more than 90% of nitrogen removal effect was realized and the experiment was run smoothly without fouling of membrane, even in the high concentration of MLSS. Based on this experiment, sludge can be reduced considerably at a low HRT by these two newly suggested approach.

본 연구에서는 MBR 내에 침지된 분리막 오염을 평가하기 위하여 운전시간에 따른 막간차압(TMP)을 측정하였다. 유효 막면적이 $0.02m^2$이고 공칭 세공크기가 $0.15{\mu}m$인 정밀여과용 평막 모듈을 MLSS 5,000 mg/L인 활성슬러지 용액에 침지시켰다. 운전/휴직(R/S) 및 사인파형 투과유속 연속운전(SFCO) 방식에 따른 TMP를 비교하기 위하여 동시에 투과 실험을 수행하였다. SFCO 운전방법에 따른 TMP는 R/S에 비하여 최대 93% 낮게 유지되었으며 투과유속이 증가함에 따라서 TMP 감소 효과는 줄어들었다. 또한 응집제인 $FeCl_3$를 활성슬러지 용액에 500 mg/L 농도로 주입시키면 SCFO 운전방식의 경우, 투과 운전시간을 5배 이상 증가시켜도 한계 운전 TMP인 55 kPa의 40% 미만으로 유지됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

상전환 방법에 의해 PVC계 MF막을 제조하여 환성슬러지가 포함된 폐수 처리용 MBR (Membrane bioreactor)에 적용하였다. 막 제조시 첨가제의 농도에 따른 막 특성을 확인한 결과 첨가제의 농도가 증가할수록 기공 크기가 증가하였으며 친수화도 역시 향상되었다. MBR의 내부 환경변화에 따른 실험을 통해 제조한 막의 투과 성능 및 막에 발생하는 막 오염 거동을 조사하였다. 사상균의 생성으로 인한 Sludge bulking 시 막 오염 현상이 가속화되었으며, 이 때 각 시료의 Rc을 조사한 결과 CP-0 > CP-1.0 > CP-1.5의 순으로 나타났고, 정상상태와 비교하여 sludge busking시 Rc값은 3.5~7배가지 증가하였다. 표면 특성이나 투과 유속면에서 PVP 1.5 wt% (CP-1.5)를 첨가하였을 때가 가장 적합하였다. 평균 투과 유속은 시료 모두에서 12(${\pm}$2) L/$m^2$hr 정도였으며, 평균 COD 제거율은 98.8% 정도를 나타내었다 MBR 운전에 있어 sludge bulking시 사상균이 차지하는 비율과 미생물의 모양과 크기에 따라 막 오염은 가속화 되었고, 투과 유속 감소를 보였다. 따라서 막 여과 특성은 막의 친수화 정도와 MBR 내부 미생물의 성장 조건과 환경에 의해 결정되는 것을 알 수 있었다.
