In this study, we applied ENERWATER to evaluate the energy consumption labeling of wastewater treatment plants in Korea using the Korea sewerage statistics data. The results showed that the energy label status was excellent in the SBR process for small and medium-scale wastewater treatment plants and the A2O process for large-scale wastewater treatment plants. The energy labeling of wastewater treatment plants of 50,000 tons capacity was excellent. The statuses of metropolitan cities and Jeollanam-do province were excellent. We analyzed the effects of renewable energy on wastewater treatment plants' energy consumption and found out that digestion gas for large-scale plants and photovoltaic energy for small-scale plants were effective in improving energy labeling. In addition, we compared the energy labels of four wastewater treatment plants in "Z" city and wastewater treatment plant "X" had the best energy label, and the wastewater treatment plants "V" and "Y" had to be selected as priorities for the energy diagnosis and improvement project. In a comprehensive conclusion, the applicability of ENERWATER was confirmed based on sewage statistics data and labeling can be used to set priorities for the energy diagnosis and improvement project.

The optimum operation of domestic wastewater treatment plant can give influence on operational cost and future expansion in Korea where has 93 operational domestic wastewater treatment plants. Also, the study on optimum operation can reduce operation cost and budget of municipalities whom have responsibility of wastewater treatment plant operation. In this study, 9 domestic wastewater treatment plants which can represent 93 plants in Korea have been selected and operational data are gathered. The collected data are inputted to computer simulator based on IAWQ's Activated Sludge Model No.1 and optimum operation methods are developed. Also, the electric power for aeration which has large portion of overall operation cost are calculated based on design and operation conditions and these are compared. In this study, it was found that design wastewater characteristics are 1.6 times higher than those of daily maximum except for E plant and that estimation methods for design wastewater characteristics have to be improved. Based on computer simulation, we found there is no need to operate all aeration tanks due to weak influent overall power for aeration can be reduced to about 43% of design one.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology can be used to assess impacts on the environment that might be generated during treatment of wastewater and sludge treatment. In this work, LCA methodology was suggested to evaluate monthly environmental impact of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Two field scale WWTPs, A2/O process and conventional activated sludge process (CAS), were selected as target plants and the operational data were collected from those plants. As the function units, the unit volume of treated wastewater of $1m^3$ and 1 kg T-N eq. removed were selected. The environmental effect of target WWTPs operation were assessed as impact categories such as global warming potential, eutrophication potential, and so on. From monthly profiles of each index, it was shown that the environmental impact of WWTPs has seasonal patterns influenced by the influent flow rate variation causing higher impacts in winter than summer. This is due to the fact that there were no significant increase in the electricity consumption and chemical usage during the summer while the treated volume of wastewater was increased.

Water Quality of effluent from wastewater treatment plants was reviewed to reuse effluent for agricultural water as alternative water resources. Among 2004, wastewater treatment plants, 19 plants are found to be used as wastewater resources applicable to irrigation. The total effluent capacities are 9,293 thousand $m^3$per day, which may be used to irrigate paddy fields. In order to know how much the effluent can be use for agricultural water, we classified the effluent according to the river basin area and evaluated the water quality of the effluent.

Probability distribution of microbes in wastewater is a crucial factor to be determined for microbial risk assessment associated with its reuse. The objective of this study was to investigate probability distribution of an indicator microorganism in wastewater. Daily total coliform counts measured from nationwide wastewater treatment plants in 2010 by the Ministry of Environment were used for statistical analysis. Basic statistics and probability distributions were estimated in the three different spatial scales using the MS Excel software and FARD2006 model. Overall, wastewater from manure and livestock treatment plants demonstrated greater median coliform counts than from sewage and village treatment plants. Generalized logistic (GLO) and 2-parameter Weibull (WBU2) appeared to be the two probability distributions that fitted best for total coliform numbers in wastewater. The study results of microbial statistics and probability distributions would provide useful data for quantitative assessment of microbial risk from agricultural wastewater reuse.

부들, 갈대, 줄, 물고랭이 등의 정수식물을 이용하여 5개월 동안 용기재배로 산업폐수 정화용 정수식물을 선발하였다. 전기전도도가 3.0 dS/m이고, NH₄/sup ＋/-N 농도가 130 ppm인 산업폐수를 관수하였을때 증발산량(ETc)이 감소하지 않는 정수식물은 부들과 줄로서 내염성이 강하였고, 갈대는 폐수처리에 의하여 배양액재배시 보다 증발산량이 30% 감소하였으나 증발산량의 절대치가 가장 높아 수분요구량이 매우 높은 식물로 판명되었다. 부들과 줄의 건물생산량은 증발산량의 경우에서와 같이 배양액 관수구보다 오히려 산업폐수 관수구에서 높았고, 갈대는 폐수처리에 의하여 건물생산량이 14% 감소하였음에도 불구하고 4종식물중에 건물생산량이 가장 높았다. 물고랭이는 산업폐수를 관수하였을 때 건물생산량이 71.3% 감소하여 내염성과 고농도 암모니아성 질소에 대한 내성이 극히 불량한 것으로 나타났다. 줄과 갈대는 산업폐수 관수시에 총건물중과 조직내 질소 축적물이 부들이나 물고랭이 보다 훨씬 높아 단위면적당 질소 흡수제거량이 큰 정수식물로 판명되었다.

To establish effective and prompt measures for energy conservation in public wastewater treatment plants in Korea, energy consumption rates in 233 utilities in 9 provinces and 7 metropolitan cities are investigated and compared to the rest of the world. Mean load factor for wastewater treatment utilities is 74.9% and those for influent pumps and aeration blowers are 56.2% and 61.0%, respectively. Mean electrical energy usages as the key performance indicators are $0.243kWh/m^3$ for overall sewage treatments and 2.07 kWh per unit kg BOD removal. Digester gas as one of major byproducts in the process amounts to $382,000m^3/day$ nationwide. While major part of the digester gas is used for sludge heating, only 7.3% of the gas is utilized for electricity generation. Both efficiencies for BOD removal and digestion gas generation are considerably lower than those in USA and EU utilities due to low concentration of organic material in influent wastewater. Such low energy regeneration, in turn, results in significantly higher energy consumption in Korean plants, compared to that in USA and EU ones.

Power Plant is requested, by environmental bodies and fisherman, to correct the pollution of coastal area due to the outflow of foam from the outlet of the power plants. Foam wastewater cause a lot of environmental problems, expecially in aesthetic points of view. Therefore, It is needed to be collect from the stream into nearby ocean, and the collected foams should be treated before being discharged into nearby ocean. The most effective and feasible treatment method researched for the effective treatment of foam wastewater generated at the power plants. The result of the test is confirmed with collecting Foam wastewater by inhalation force. The treatment pilot ($3m^3/hr$) collected wastewater was operated by Biological degradation method(Aerobic/anaerobic Processes) for approximately two months. It was removed SS, COD, nutrient(T-P, T-N), etc. The System is expected successfully by Minimizing the operating costs such as electricity, repair expenses, chemicals and supplies expenses.
