Developing two process models to simulate wastewater treatment process is needed to draw a comparison between measured BOD data and estimated process model data: a mathematical model based on the process mass-balance and an ANN (artificial neural network) model. Those two types of simulator can fit well in terms of effluent BOD data, which models are formulated based on the distinctive five parameters: influent flow rate, effluent flow rate, influent BOD concentration, biomass concentration, and returned sludge percentage. The structuralized mass-balance model and ANN modeI with seasonal periods can estimate data set more precisely, and changing optimization algorithm for the penalty could be a useful option to tune up the process behavior estimations. An complex model such as ANN model coupled with mass-balance equation will be required to simulate process dynamics more accurately.

The objective of the research is to develop agricultural resue technologies of reclaiming the effluents from a municipal wastewater treatment plant and reusing for irrigated rice paddies. The Suwon wastewater treatment plant was selected for wastewater reuse tests. The control was the plots with groundwater irrigation (TR＃1), the treatment (TR＃2) using polluted stream water as it was, and three others using wastewater after treatment. Three levels of wastewater treatments were employed： the effluent from the wastewater treatment plant (TR＃3), sand filtering after treatment plant(TR＃4), and ultra-violet treatment after sand filtering (TR＃5). The randomized block method was applied to wastewater application to paddy rice with five treatments and six replica. The effects of various wastewater treatment levels on water quality, paddy soil, crop growth, yields, and the health hazards were investigated. The primary results indicate that cultivating rice with reclaimed wastewater irrigation did not cause a problem to adverse effects on crop growth and yields. Overall, wastewater could be used as a practical alternative measure for reclaimed wastewater irrigation. However, long-term monitoring is recommended on the effects on soil chemical characteristics and its related health concerns.

The influent and effluent baffle configurations seriously affect the hydraulic characteristics of the secondary clarifier in wastewater treatment plant. In this study, those baffle configurations were optimized by computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis and particle image velocity(PIV) test in order to obtain uniform flow in inlet region and to minimize upflow velocity in outlet region of the secondary clarifier. Theoretical analysis using CFD showed that more uniform flow could be accomplished when the influent baffle was located closely to the inlet opening. Effects of effluent baffle configuration on the upflow velocity in the outlet region of the secondary clarifier were analyzed with four types of effluent baffles which are widely adopted for secondary clarifier design. From the CFD analysis, McKinney baffle(EB-2) was estimated to be the most effective for restraining the upflow velocity in the outlet region and these trends were identified by PIV tests. In addition, the McKinney baffle showed the most uniform overflow velocity distribution around the weir.

하폐수 처리에 대한 제어는 2가지의 장점을 가지고 있다. 유출수의 수질을 제어할 수 있다는 것과 하폐수 처리 비용의 절감이 그것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 부영양화의 원인물질로 잘 알려져 있는 암모니아성 질소를 제어함을 목적으로 한다. 제어는 간략화된 활성슬러지 모델 1(ASM No. 1)에 기초하고 있으며, 제어 방법은 다음과 같다. 우선, 유입수중 암모늄 농도를 측정하고, 간략화된 활성슬러지 모델 1(ASM No. 1)에 의하여 유출수 암모늄 농도가 1.0 mg/L가 아닐 경우 유출수의 암모늄 농도가 1.0 mg/L가 되도록 최적의 포기 시간을 산정하고 결정한다. 다음단계에서 유입수의 암모늄 농도를 교정한다. 이 과정은 계속적으로 반복되었다. 이와같은 방법에 의해 호기-무산소 조건을 반복하는 SBR 반응조가 한달간 제어되었다. 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 유출수의 암모늄 농도는 $0.22\sim3.1$ mg/L 범위를 순회하였으며, 유출수 암모늄 농도의 평균값은 1.1 mg/L이었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 Adaptive control 방법은 암모늄의 유출수 농도를 제어하고 예측하는데 매우 효과적이었다.

2014년을 기준으로 도금폐수에 함유한 중금속중 니켈은 5 mg/L에서 3 mg/L로 방류수 기준이 강화되었다. 그러나 현재 적용되고 있는 도금폐수 중의 니켈 처리방법으로는 방류수 기준치 이하로 처리하기 어려워 대부분의 처리 업체에서 다른 폐수와 혼합하여 단순한 희석에 의해 농도를 낮추고 있는 실정이다. 이는 환경에 지대한 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 희생전극을 사용한 전기분해 방법을 적용하여 실질적이며 효율적인 니켈의 처리방법을 제시하였다. 실험은 인공폐수 및 실폐수로 수행하였으며 인공폐수 실험에서는 전기분해과정에서 니켈 제거 효율에 영향을 줄 수 있는 전류밀도와 pH를 변화시키며 최적의 효율을 나타내는 조건을 도출하였다. 실험결과 니켈 제거 효율은 94%를 상회하며 잔류니켈농도는 방류수 기준치 이하로 낮추고 철 슬러지 처리로 인한 경제성까지 고려한 조건으로 전류밀도 $1{\sim}2mA/cm^2$와 pH 9가 도출되었다. 이 처리 조건을 실폐수에 적용시켰을 때 니켈 제거 효율은 60~70%로 인공폐수 실험결과보다 제거효율이 낮게 조사되었다. 이는 실폐수에는 다른 중금속 및 음이온이 다량 함유되어 있어 처리 효율에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 실폐수의 경우 pH 9에서 전류밀도 $6{\sim}7mA/cm^2$ 조건으로 5분 동안 전기분해 처리를 하였을 때 니켈 제거효율 88% 이상, 처리수의 잔류 니켈 농도 3.0 mg/L 이하로 방류수 기준을 만족시킬 수 있었다.

Most of the municipal wastewater treatment plants operated in Korea are designed for high concentrations municipal sewage. However, activated sludge process employed by municipal wastewater treatment plant is operated at low organic loading. The objective of this study was to determine optimum operating condition of activated sludge process for treatment of low concentration municipal sewage. Three bench scale activated sludge reactors were operated to investigate the effect of HRT and SRT on the COD and TSS removal efficiency. The average concentration of TSS, SCOD, SBOD and TKN in influent were 118mg/l, 61mg/l, 21mg/l, and 12mg/l, respectively. The activated sludge reactors operated with various HRT and SRT showed about 89-93% TSS removal efficiency. HRT and SRT does not affect the TSS removal efficiency of actvatied sludge process significantly. However, HRT affected the SCOD removal efficiency slightly. As the HRT decreases from 13hours to 3hours, the SCOD removal efficiency decreases from 67% to 56%. The average effluent TCOD concentration of the reactor operated with 3hours of HRT was approximatly 40-45mg/l. Kinetic coefficient yield (Yt) and decay coefficients(Kd) were 0.594-0.954 mgMLVSS/mgCOD and $0.0197-0.0317day^{-1}$, respectively. Low concentration municipal sewage can be treated with 3 hours of HRT without effluent quality deterioration and SRT does not affect the substrate removal efficiency at this operation condition.

This study configured the conventional $A^2O$ (Anaerobic-Anoxic-Aerobic bioreactor) system which the fixed media immersed into the anoxic reactor(Named PFR system : Plug Flow Reactor) for evaluating the removal efficiency of nitrogen in the wastewater. The experimental equipment was a cylinder which was consist of 4 pleated PE Pipes(Length 330M, Diameter 100mm) including 2 rope shape media. As a result, the average effluent T-N removal efficiency of the conventional $A^2O$ system was 17.9, 40.3, 50.6, 44.6% in each mode, but the average effluent T-N removal efficiency of the PFR system could achieve 38.8, 57.1, 71.8, 65.4% in each mode. It indicated that the PFR system caused to the increasing of C/N ratio that effected to the increasing of the denitrification efficiency. Not only the effective T-N removal efficiency but also the controllable install space will give advantages for retrofitting of the wastewater treatment plant with the conventional treatment system to the PFR system.

The effluent limitations for individual industry based on the best available technology economically achievable (BAT) have been required to achieve effective regulation. BAT assessment criteria that are suitable for the circumstances of Korean industry were developed in the previous study. The criteria were applied to determine the BAT for petrochemical basic compound manufacturing (PBCM) and plastics and synthetic resins manufacturing (PSRM) industry. Wastewater discharged from the each category contains high concentration of COD and toluene. Eighteen sites were surveyed and wastewater qualities were analyzed. Six and two different technologies were applied to the PBCM and PSRM industry for the end-of-pipe treatment process, respectively. The technology candidates were evaluated in terms of environmental impacts, economically achievability, treatment performance and economical reasonability. As the result, the technology options: typical activated-sludge process + sand filtration + activated carbon adsorption (PBCM) and wet oxidation + chemical precipitation + typical activated-sludge process + chemical precipitation (PSRM) were selected as the BAT for each industry.
