The cloging phenomenon in the fixed film reactor Is shown when biomass growth Is excessive for long operating time. In addition, effluent water Quality gets worse because of detachment of biomass. In this study, we conducted air-backwashing to sustain biomass In reactor to complement these defects. The results of experimental are showed In the following conclusion. The detachment rate was 19.5 - 38.0% when the organic loading rate was 0.40 - 1.32 kg COD/$m^3$/day, the k - backwashing Intensity was 2 L/min(6.7 $m^3$/$m^2$/hrl and the backwashing time was 15 - 19 seconds. And the detachment rate was 32.2 - 58.6 % when the organic loading rate was 1.37 - 2.27 kg COD/$m^2$/day, the backwashing time was 1 - 12 minutes. As orgnic loading rate and backwashing time ale Increased, detachment of fixed biomass Is Increased. The detachment equation with detachment rate(DR, %), backwashing time(BWT, min), fixed biomass concentration(FB. mg/L), and organic leading rate(OLR, kg COD/ms/day) through multiple linear regession was given by the following equation: DR : 17.964 $BWT^{0.1407} FB^{0.0597} OLR^{0.1946}$

Unit costs for energy production in bioenergy facilities are dependent upon both fixed cost for facility construction and operational costs including biomass feedstock supply. With the increase of capacity, unit fixed cost could be decreased while supply cost tends to increase due to the longer transportation distance. It is desirable to take into account biomass availability in planning bioenergy facilities. A cumulative curve relationship was proposed to relate biomass availability and cumulative products of biomass amount and transportation distance. Optimum size of gasification facilities was affected by collection cost, biomass cumulative relationship. Based on biomass availability of Icheon-City, optimum sizes were about $400kW_{th}$ for gas production, and about $200kW_{el}$ for power generation. Unit cost of bioenergy production could be substantially reduced by reducing collection cost through supplying biomass from diverse sources including land development areas where significant amount of waste wood is generated. When planning bioenergy facilities, however, biomass availability and spatial distribution are key factors in determining the size of capacity.

Nitrifying bacterial community structures of suspended and attached biomasses in a full-scale integrated fixed-film activated sludge process were investigated by analyzing 16S rRNA gene sequences obtained from pyrosequencing. The suspended biomass had a higher number of ammonia-oxidizing bacterial sequences (0.8% of total sequences) than the attached biomass (0.07%), although most of the sequences were within the Nitrosomonas oligotropha lineage in both biomasses. Nitrospira-like nitrite-oxidizing bacterial sequences were retrieved in the suspended biomass (0.06%), not in the attached biomass, whereas the existence of Nitrobacter-like sequences was not evident. The suspended biomass had higher nitrification activity (1.13 mg N/TSS/h) than the attached biomass (0.07 mg N/TSS/h). Overall, the results made it possible to conclude the importance of the suspended biomass, rather than the attached biomass, in nitrification in the wastewater treatment process studied.

In this research, biological treatability test was conduced using seawater flocculated tannery wastewater by fixed biofilm reactor. During one cycle, the removal efficiency of organic corbon obtained with fixed biofilm process for treating tannery wastewater was considerably greater than that with activated sludge process. As the hydraulic retention time increased form 0.5day to 4day, removal efficiency of organic carbon was increased from 72% to 87.3%. Attached biomass in media increased with influent organic loading up to 29g MLSS/L, that could reduce the specific organic loading rate. The continual measurement of attached biomass was possible for the operation of the biofilm reactor. Equal and low nitrication rates were observed in both suspended growth activated sludge process and fixed biofilm process, despite commercial nitrifier was seeded. Through the process of treating the tannery wastewater, EC50 values which is measured by the use of Ceriopdaphnia dubia, were decreased to the extent of 50% after treatment of seawater flocculation and of 83% after biological treatment, respectively, compared to those of the untreated wastewater.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate gasification process of wood sawdust in the I-dimensional downdraft fixed bed gasifier. The preheated air was used oxidizer and steam were used as a gasifying agent. The operating parameters, the supplied air temperature and steam were used. The oxidizer temperature was varied from 500K to 620K and vapor was added. The gasification process was monitored by measuring temperature at three position near the biomass using R-type thermocouples and the syngas composition was analyzed by gas chromatograph. The change of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane was observed. Overall, the volume fraction of hydrogen and methane were increased widely as increasing the oxidizer temperature and adding steam.

This study was conducted to investigate the physical properties of wood chip for fuel processing with woody biomass. Seven species are selected and processed for testing physical properties by 3-type wood chippers which are commonly used in Korea. Wood chips produced by self-propelled drum chipper and fixed type wood chipper equipped with separator were uniform in size and shape. It was shown that the bulk density of produced wood chips was decreased with increasing the wood chip layer thickness, and oak chips prepared by self-propelled drum chipper and fixed type wood chipper showed the highest bulk density.

본 연구는 평로탄화로 이용한 성형목탄 제조과정에서 얻은 탄화된 바이오매스의 특성을 분석하였으며, 기계적 전처리 및 평로탄화로 내 위치에 따른 특성 차이를 비교하고자 하였다. 성형목탄 제조업체에서 채취된 바이오매스 1종과 탄화 바이오매스 5종의 시료를 대상으로 선별(screening) 및 분쇄(grinding)를 통해 분석시료의 입자크기 범위별로 분류한 후, 고정탄소, 회분, 휘발성 화합물, 원소 함량, 발열량을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 평로탄화로의 위치에 따라서는 중간층의 탄화 바이오매스 발열량이 20.4 MJ/kg으로 가장 높은 연료적 특성을 나타내었다. 선별 입자 크기에 따라서는 100 mesh 이하의 탄화 바이오매스에서 회분함량이 가장 낮았고 발열량, 탄소 함량, 고정탄소 함량은 높았다. 상관관계 분석 결과 회분 함량은 발열량, 휘발성화합물, 고정탄소, 탄소 함량과 모두 음의 상관관계를 나타내어 회분 함량이 연료적 특성에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 임의효과(random effect)를 이용하여 충남지역 임령-바이오매스 모형을 개발하고 임의효과의 적용성을 평가하는데 있다. 충남지역 소나무림의 임령에 따른 바이오매스 모형 개발을 위해 임분 구조를 고려하여 전국의 중부지방소나무 임분에서 30개소(150그루)를 조사하고 임령과 바이오매스 자료를 수집하였다. 모형 개발에서 중부지방소나무의 임령-바이오매스 관계는 고정효과(fixed effect)이고 지역간 차이를 임의효과로 설정하였다. 임의효과에 따른 모형의 적합도를 검정하기 위해 아카이케의 정보기준(Akaike Information Criterion, AIC)을 참고하고 지역간 차이에 따른 분산-공분산 행렬과 오차항을 추정하였다. 추정된 공분산은 -1.0022, 오차항은 0.6240이고 분산-공분산 행렬을 이용한 임의효과 모형의 AIC는 377.7을 나타내어 선행 연구와 이질적인 차이는 없었다. 이러한 결과는 범주형 자료의 임의효과가 모형 개발에 반영된 결과로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 임의효과를 이용하여 일부지역에 국한되어 개발되었던 바이오매스 모형 연구에 활용이 가능하다.
