For the purpose of ground improvement by means of soil flushing systems. Incorporated technique with prefabricated vertical drains have been used for dewatering from fine-grained soils. The laboratory model tests were performed by using the flushing tracer solutions for silty soils and recorded the tracer concentration changes with the elapsed time and flow rates. A mathematical model for prediction of contaminant transport using the PVD technology has been developed. The clean-up times for the predictions on both soil condition indicate more of a sensitivity to the dispersivity parameter than to the extracted flow rate and vertical velocity parameters. Based on the results of the analyses, numerical analysis indicate that the most important factor to the in-situ soil remediation in prefabricated vertical drain system is the effective diameter of contaminated soil.

The purpose of this paper Is to present and discuss some of evaporation and desiccation observed in laboratory experiments under controlled conditions, and is to improve PTM(Progressive Trenching Method) operating technique. PTM is the technically feasible and economically justifiable dewatering and desiccation technique for dredged material containment areas. A series of laboratory experiments with large model test were carried out to get evaporation rate and strength increase. Surface desiccation of dredged material is basically changed by evaporation characteristics which is controlled by weather and trench type, etc. This study shows that trench depth and rain fall are important factors in desiccation of dredged soft clay.

최근 석탄층 메탄가스(Coalbed Methane, CBM)의 회수증진을 위해 석탄층에 $CO_2$나 $N_2$ 가스를 주입하는 ECBM (enhanced coalbed methane recovery)공법이 주목받고 있다. ECBM공법은 일반적인 생산기술인 탈수(dewatering)공법에 비해 회수율이 높지만 주입가스의 특성에 따라 메탄가스의 생산 효율이 다르므로, 이를 고려한 주입가스의 혼합 비율 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 ECBM공법에서 주입가스의 혼합 비율이 메탄가스 회수에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자, CBM 저류층 모델을 구축하고 주입가스의 혼합비율에 따른 메탄가스 회수량 분석과 경제성 평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과, ECBM공법 적용 시 탈수공법을 적용하였을 때 보다 약 2배의 회수율 향상을 보였으며, 혼합가스 주입 시 $CO_2$ 10%와 $N_2$ 90%일 때 메탄가스의 회수량이 가장 높게 나타났다. 그러나 탄소배출권 거래이익, 주입가스의 비용 및 재생산된 $N_2$ 가스 처리비용 등을 고려한 경제성 평가 결과, 주입가스의 혼합비율이 $CO_2$ 20%와 $N_2$ 80%일 때 최종생산이익이 가장 높게 나타남을 확인하였다. 따라서 향후 ECBM 공법 적용 시 메탄가스의 회수율뿐만 아니라 경제성을 고려한 기준으로 주입가스의 혼합비율을 설계해야 한다.

Comparative study has been performed to investigate the behavior of dredged fills on rigid (Model 1) and flexible (Model 2) containers. The study was focused on the sedimentation of soil fills and the development of total stresses. Model 1 is made of an acrylic cylinder and Model two is a scale-size geotextile tube. Results indicate that for rigid containers, significant decrease of the sediment height is apparent during the dewatering process. On the other hand, because the geotextile is permeable, the water is gradually dissipated during the filling process on flexible containers. Hence, significant loss in the tube height is not apparent during the duration of the test. Pressure spikes are apparent on rigid containers during the filling process which can be attributed to the confining effect due to hydrostatic pressure. For the flexible containers, the pressure readings gradually increases with time during the filling process and normalize at the end on the filling stage. No pressure spikes were apparent due to the gradual dissipation of pore water pressure.

Geotextile tubes are basically a huge sack filled with sand or dredged soil. Geotextile tubes are made of permeable woven or non-woven synthetic fibers (i.e., polyester or PET and polypropylene or PP). The geotextile tubes' performances in strength, dewatering, retaining solid particles and stacked stability have been studied extensively in the past. However, only little research has been done in the observation of the deformation behavior of geotextile tubes. In this paper, a large-scale apparatus for geotextile tube experiment is introduced. The apparatus is equipped with a slurry mixing station, pumping and delivery station, an observation station and a data station. For this study the large-scale apparatus was utilized in the studies regarding the stresses on the geotextile and the deformation behavior of the geotextile tube. Model tests were conducted using a custom-made woven geotextile tubes. Load cells placed at the inner belly of the geotextile tube to monitor the total soil pressure. Strain gauges were also placed on the outer skin of the tube to measure the geotextile strain. The pressure and strain sensors are attached to a data logger that sends the collected data to a desktop computer. The experiment results showed that the maximum geotextile strain occurs at the sides of the tube and the soil pressure distribution varies at each geotextile tube section.

The residual treatment facilities in WTP(water treatment plant) play an important role in solid-liquid separation. At present, it is difficult to solve problems related with thickening and dewatering of WTP sludge, and discharging waste water to river. The quantity of residuals generated from water treatment plants depends upon the raw water quality, dosage of chemicals used, performance of the treatment process, method of sludge removal, efficiency of sedimentation, and backwashing frequency. Sludge production by the physical separation of SS(Suspended Solid) occurs under quiescent conditions in the primary clarifier, where SSs are allowed to settle and to consolidate on the clarifier bottom. Raw primary sludge results when the settled solids are hydraulically removed from the tank. In this study, Drawing characteristics of the sludge thickening in the thickener of Water Treatment Plants was simulated by Using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics.

폐광된 광산에서는 채광장으로 유입되는 지하수의 펌핑 작업을 더 이상 수행하지 않기 때문에, 채광 공동이나 채광장 주변 지층에서 지하수위가 점진적으로 상승하는 지하수 리바운드 현상이 발생한다. 그동안 폐광산 지역의 지하수 리바운드 현상을 분석할 수 있는 다양한 수치모델들이 개발되었다. 본 논문에서는 폐탄광지역의 지하수 리바운드 현상 분석시 활용할 수 있는 VSS-NET, GRAM, MODFLOW 모델에 대해 조사하고, 공간적/시간적 규모에서 각 모델의 적용 범위에 대해 소개하였다. 특히, GRAM 모델에 대해서는 상세한 분석을 수행하였으며 포트란 언어를 이용하여 프로그램을 구현하였다. GRAM 모델을 이용하여 국내 동원탄광 수갱의 지하수 리바운드 현상을 분석하였으며, 현장의 지하수위 계측 결과와 GRAM 모델의 분석 결과가 유사한 것으로 나타났다.

Reduction of fresh water consumption and effluent discharge provide diverse advantages in raw materials and energy savings. Papermaking system closure, however, reduces the efficiency of additives, decreases retention and dewatering, and causes many other Problems in papermaking. Accumulation of inorganic and organic substances in the process white water is the prime cause of these problems. Understanding of the accumulation phenomena of the detrimental substances in the papermaking process is of great importance for papermaking system closure. In this study a process simulation method was employed to analyze the accumulation phenomena of anionic starch in the process white water as the reuse rate of dry broke and pick up of surface sizing agent is increased. Steady state simulation studies were carried out based on the model developed in previous study. The variation of dissolved starch concentration in each process unit was monitored as a function of reuse rate of dry broke and surface sizing agent pick up rate. The result showed that dissolved starch concentration Increased as reuse rate of dry broke and surface sizing agent pick up rate was increased.

CST와 SRF는 슬러지 탈수효율 인자로 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 CST와 SRF는 각각의 분석특징의 장.단점으로 인해 실험방법 및 결과 해석시, 슬러지 탈수의 최적조건을 찾아 예측하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 탈수성 지표로 이용되는 CST와 SRF의 이론식 가운데 CST와 SRF의 상호관계식을 유도하여 각각의 실측값과 예측값을 비교한 후 비교적 측정이 간편한 CST 시험만으로도 탈수최적조건을 도출할 수 있는 이론식을 검토하였다.

The moisture content of many inorganic sludges is less than 70% during dewatering. Hence, a mono or piston pump cannot feed the sludge dryer. Thus, most inorganic sludge should be moved to a landfill or recycled directly without any reduction method. This development was invented to apply cyclone dryers using air and specially designed for the continuous injection of sludge sources by negative pressure and high air velocity for low moisture inorganic matter. Therefore, wastewater sludge and raw water treatment sludge discharged from various industrial fields might be settled by this development. The cyclone dryer was commercialized useful as moisture reduction equipment. This development was applied using a sludge injection system for sludge feeding and under the cooperation of ejector design computational fluid dynamics. Furthermore, this paper presented good ejector model results, blowing an airflow of 264 m³/min at an actual performance test.
