본 논문은 정수장에서 사용하는 응집제의 종류를 결정하기 위한 시스템 개발에 관한 내용이다. 정수장은 여러 단위 처리장으로 구성되며, 불순물을 제거하기 위하여 혼화지에서 응집제를 주입하여 침전을 시킨다. 현재까지 응집제 결정을 위해 Jar-test를 이용하는데, 이 방법은 사람의 주관적인 판단에 의존하므로 실험 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 특히 정수장의 자동화를 위한 시스템 개발에서 가장 큰 걸림돌로 작용하고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 로드맵에 기초한 데이터마이닝 기법을 이용하여 응집제를 선택할 수 있는 제어기를 개발하였다. 제어 규칙은 클러스터링 기법으로 도출하였는데, 군집의 초기 값과 개수는 통계적 지수 값을 사용하여 결정하였다.

With drinking water standards becoming more rigorous and increasing demands for additional water quantities, while water resources are becoming more polluted, mathematical models became an important tool to improve water treatment processes performance in the water supply system. Water treatment processes models reflect the knowledge of the processes and they are useful tools for water treatment process optimization, design, operator training for decision making and fundamental research. Unfortunately, in the current practice of drinking-water production and distribution, water treatment processes modeling is not successfully applied. This article presents a review of some existing water treatment processes simulators and the experience of their application and indicating the main weak points of each process. Also, new approaches in the modeling of water treatment are presented and recommendations are given for the work in the future.

This study reviewed the current status and problems of sewerage system in Korea and then proposed possible methods to correct the problems. Also, evaluation of future development in sewerage system is included. It can be summarized as follows : 1. Investment in sewerage system is relatively low . 0.23% of GNP, Considering that the investment portion is 0.35% in OECD and 0.63% in Japan, it should be increased further. 2. The reasons wily the investment in sewerage system is low can be ' (1) Low priority is given to the investment in sewerage system. Local government builds and operates its own wastewater treatment plant. Local government as well as residents prefer to invest their money in roadwork, housing and parks to in wastewater treatment facilities because of greater investment effects. (2) Besides capital investment, more maintenance cost is needed for sewerage system. Proper operation of wastewater treatment facilities requires a well-trained operator. Because of public conception that operation of wastewater treatment facility is a dirty job, it is difficult to find a well-trained operator. (3) It is difficult to estimate the effect of sewerage system (4) Cost required to build and maintain wastewater treatment facility should be paid by people, who benefit from the facility. People to benefit are sometimes different from people to pay. 3. Advanced treatment is necessary to protect the bay aura and raw water source as well as to prevent eutrophication of lakes and ponds. 4. Wastewater treatment facility were mainly build in big cities during the decade of 1980. Followings should be solved first to expand the facilities. (1) Rapid repair and construction of sewer. (2) Technical development of wastewater treatment . Prevention of efficient and economical wastewater . Development of efficient and economical wastewater treatment techniques . Development of high-efficiency treatment using bioreactor . Reuse of wastewater treatment plant effluent (3) Sludge treatment and disposal . Composting of sludge cakes . Development of techniques to reduce the volume of sludge cake : incineration and reuse of sludge ash and slag. (4) Utilization of wastewater treatment facilities . Construction of community parks or sports families(ie, on the tops of the covered aeration tanks and sedimention tanks) Construction of wastewater treatment facilities under ground and of parking facilities and community parks above ground. (5) Education of wastewater treatment personal.

정수장 유입수에 포함된 다양한 유기물을 제거하기 위하여 약품을 주입하고 있으나 적정 주입률 결정은 4~7시간 후에나 탁도를 통하여 확인 가능함에 따라 실시간 피드백 제어가 불가하다. 또한 실험실에서 실시하는 Jar-Test 및 운영자의 경험에 따른 수동운전은 유기물 특성 및 수질 변화로 인하여 실험 및 휴먼에러가 발생할 수 있다. 특히 야간/주말 등에는 실험을 실시할 수 없어 운영자 판단에 의한 간헐적 변경만이 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 지능제어 알고리즘을 이용한 적정 약품 주입률을 학습하여 실시간 약품 주입과 주입량 감소로 원가절감을 달성코자 하였다.

Designing an ozone contactor is complicated because the residual ozone, log C. parvum inactivation, and bromate formation should be optimized with fluctuating water quality. OCM software was developed to assist a plant designer or an operator to fulfill the sophisticated optimization required in the design or operation of a new or an existing plant. In this article, numerical simulations were carried out using the OCM software for the design of a new ozone contactor under diverse design factors (i.e., three pHs, three temperatures, low and high dispersion numbers, and four and ten cells with complete mixing) with kinetic parameters obtained from the sand-filter effluent of a water treatment plant treating water from the Paldang impoundment. The results of the simulation suggested that a high residual ozone concentration at low pH and low temperature would be challenging, and PFR-like hydrodynamics could lower the residual ozone concentration. The inactivation of C. parvum oocysts increased at a lower pH. A lower dispersion number and more cell division increased the inactivation efficiency. Bromate was instantaneously formed during the initial ozonation stage. The effluent concentration was much lower than the regulatory levels imposed by the USEPA because of the low bromide level in raw water.

하수처리장의 방류수 수질기준이 강화되고 있으며, 이에 따라 하수처리장 시설도 고도화되고 있다. 또한 하수처리장의 방류수질은 높은 수준으로 유지되어야 하며, 이에 따라 효율적인 하수처리장 운영이 매우 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하수처리장의 Blower Control Loigc 개발을 위해, 하수도 시설기준의 기본 송풍량 산정 방식을 기반으로 유입수질에 따른 필요 산소량 및 송풍량을 산정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 A 하수처리장의 실제 4월 수질 데이터를 적용하여 송풍량을 산정한 결과, 평균적으로 약 12 %의 송풍량이 절감이 될 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 산정한 결과에 따라 Blower Control Logic을 개발하여 실제 하수처리장에 적용하게 된다면, 유입수질을 기반으로 송풍량 제어가 가능함에 따라 운전자의 경험에 의존하고 있는 기존의 하수처리 운영방식에서 벗어나 하수처리장 자율제어가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 송풍량 및 전력비 절감이 이루어진 효율적인 하수처리장 운영을 기대 할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 불필요한 에너지 및 탄소 절감에 기여할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

It has been achieved 109.1 kg/d of BOD reduction that is equivalent to the amount of BOD loading discharged from 21,880 persons and dramatic decrease of the fallout ratio against water quality of effluent, from 42% to 9%, through technical support on ISTPs to be applied by the ISMSGA at the upper area of Geongan river in Yong-In city. It was clearly revealed that the most efficient configuration for ISTP was a series of anaerobic tank, equalization basin, aerobic tank, sedimentation tank, and then effluent tank. Also, the major causes on the fallout ratio of ISTP resulted in the lack of management (67.5%) and imperfect facilities (32.5%). Then, when compared the quantity of water supply with the design capacity of ISTP, the design capacity was estimated as 1.8 or 2.4 folds larger than the real quantity of water supply so that it is essential to punctually consider the key factors such as an estimation methods, the specificity of commission operator and construction by high systematic technologies to improve the water quality for the future.

The 37 indicators for performance evaluation of public sewage management agencies are divided into four major categories (agency manpower management ability, wastewater treatment plant operation and management, sludge and water reuse, service quality) in the first stage, and the necessity and score acquisition for the detailed indicators by each major category in the second stages. Priority was investigated through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis technique for ease and relevance of company efforts. Also, based on the results of this analysis, integrated type weighting and relative importance were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the weight and relative importance of the first stage classification were in the order of wastewater treatment plant operation and maintenance, operation agency manpower management ability, sludge and water reuse, and service quality. As a result of analyzing the weights and priorities of the detailed performance indicators in the second stage, it was found that operator's career years, the percentage of certification holding rate in operators, compliance with the effluent water quality standards, training times for operators, and efforts to manage hazardous chemicals were important. Some of the indicators of operation agency performance evaluation may include indicators in which the performance of the company's efforts is underestimated or overestimated. In order to improve this, it is necessary to give weights in consideration of the necessity of the indicator, the relevance of the company's efforts, and the ease of obtaining scores.
