The suitability of a flexible fiber filter for removing suspended solid (SS) in a recirculating aquaculture system was evaluated. This study focused on variation in the performance with a change in filtering time, influent water quality, and filtering mode duration. The particle distribution diagram of the filter effluent showed that the number of particles bigger than $5-8{\mu}m$ decreased dramatically, and the removal efficiency exceeded 80%. Although the removal efficiencies of SS and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were dependent on the quality of the influent, the SS and COD concentrations of the effluent were not affected by the influent concentrations. This was despite the deterioration if water quality after feeding in the rearing tank. The performance of the filter was not affected by the filtering mode duration, feeding conditions, or filtering time. The SS concentration and turbidity of the recirculating-type rearing tank were 30% and 50% lower, respectively, than of the a non-recirculating-type rearing tank under the same operating conditions. The flexible fiber filter was applicable to a recirculating aquaculture system that uses plenty of seawater, based on its low filtering resistance $(2kg_f/cm^2)$, high flux $(330m^3/m^2/hr)$, and high fine particle removal efficiency (80%, $5-8{\mu}m$).

The membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a promising municipal wastewater treatment process. In this study, two cross-flow MABRs were constructed to explore the carbon and nitrogen removal performance and bacterial succession, along with changes of influent loading shock comprising flow velocity, COD, and NH₄-N concentrations. Redundancy analysis revealed that the function of high flow velocity was mainly embodied in facilitating contaminants diffusion and biosorption rather than the success of overall bacterial populations (p > 0.05). In contrast, the influent NH₄-N concentration contributed most to the variance of reactor efficiency and community structure (p < 0.05). Pyrosequencing results showed that Anaerolineae, and Beta- and Alphaproteobacteria were the dominant groups in biofilms for COD and NH₄-N removal. Among the identified genera, Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira were the main nitrifiers, and Hyphomicrobium, Hydrogenophaga, and Rhodobacter were the key denitrifiers. Meanwhile, principal component analysis indicated that bacterial shift in MABR was probably the combination of stochastic and deterministic processes.

For the effective treatment of dyeing-complex wastewater, the most effective chemical coagulation method was studied. For the chemical coagulation of dyeing-complex wastewater, polyferric sulfate, $4Al_2(SO_4)_3$, PAC, ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate, $FeCl_2$ and lime were used. It was investigated that polyferric sulfate was the most efficient coagulant. The optimal conditions and results for polyferric sulfate include the followings. When initial $COD_{Mn}$ concentration was 600mg/L, the optimal initial pH, dosage of coagulant, dosage of lime and PAA for $COD_{Mn}$ removal efficiency were 5, 1,200mg/L, 500mg/L and lmg/L, respectively. The optimal dosage of polyferric sulfate was increased proportionally to the influent $COD_{Mn}$ concentration.

Wastewater from the pigment industry has high levels of organics and is known as hardly biodegradable. The objective of this study is to evaluate the applicability of aerobic fixed-bed boifilm reactor packed with ceramic support carrier for the pigment wastewater treatment. Orange 2(widely used azo pigment) adsorption experiment onto biofilm and activated sludge, and continuous treatment experiments were performed. In batch adsorption experiment, maximum adsorption quantity of biofilm was at least two times higher than that of activated sludge. In continuous experiment using aerobic fixed-bed biodilm reactor, the influent concentration of COD and Orange 2 were 75~500mg/${\ell}$(0.45~3.00kg COD/$m^3.day), 5~50mg/$\ell$(0.03~0.30kg Orange 2/$m^3$.day), respectively. At a COD loading rate 2.5kg COD/$m^3$.day and Orange 2 loading rate of 0.18kg Orange 2/$m^3$.day, removal efficiency of COD and Orange 2 were over 95%, 97%, respectively.

The wastewater treatment with a two-phase expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) system for anaerobic degradation of acetate, benzoate, terephtalate and p-toluate from purified terephtalic acid (PTA) production was studied. The feasibility and effectiveness of the system was evaluated in terms of organic oxidation by chemical oxygen demand (COD), gas production, bacterial adaptability and stability in the granular sludge. Average removal efficiencies 93.5% and 72.7% were achieved in the EGSB reactors under volumetric loading rates of $1.0-15kg-COD/m^3/day$ and terephtalate and p-toluate of 351-526 mg/L, respectively. Gas production reached total methane production rate of 0.30 L/g-COD under these conditions in the sequential EGSB reactor system. Higher strength influent COD concentration above 4.8 g-COD/L related to field conditions was fed to observe the disturbance of the EGSB reactors.

Increase of NLR resulted increase of effluent alkalinity and TVA production

자연정화방법 중 처리효과가 널리 알려진 인공습지를 농공단지 폐수처리에 적용할 수 있는지 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 천안시에 위치한 백석농공단지에 시작품을 설치하여 현장실험한 결과를 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 처리조의 폐수유입량은 약 $0.2m^3/m^2\;{\cdot}$일이었으며 처리조내의 이론적인 체류기간은 약 1.05일이었다. 1. 유입폐수의 농도가 방류수 수질기준치보다 낮은 경우가 많았는데, 특히 T-N과 T-P는 지속적으로 모두 기준치보다 크게 낮아서 이 부분은 처리가 불필요한 정도이었으며, 평균처리율은 T-N, T-P가 각각 41%, 50% 정도를 유지하였다. 2. DO의 경우는 유입수보다 유출수의 농도가 높아서 깊이 0.6m의 처리조내에 산소가 대기로부터의 재폭기를 통하여 원활히 공급되며, 호기성처리에 문제가 없음을 알 수 있다. 3. BOD와 COD는 유입수의 농도 변화폭이 컸는데, 이에 따라 유출수의 농도도 수질기준치를 초과하는 경우가 많았다. 평균처리율이 BOD는 약 56%이며 COD는 약 43%로 처리효과는 뚜렷하였으나, 유입수의 농도가 높으면 수질기준치를 만족시키지 못하였고, 특히 기온이 낮으면 효율이 낮아져 인공습지방법의 본격적인 적용을 위해서는 이 부분을 보안하기 위한 추가연구가 요구된다. 그러나 이와 같이 기온이 떨어지는 시기에도 BOD와 COD가 각각 50.2%와 43%의 처리율을 유지하였다. 4. SS는 유입수의 농도가 60mg/l까지 변화하였으나, 유출수는 지속적으로 15mg/l 이하로 낮아서 인공습지에 토양으로 구성된 처리조를 통과하며 SS는 매우 효과적으로 제거됨을 알 수 있었다. 5. 인공습지에 의한 처리방법을 항구적으로 도입하기 위해서는 온도가 떨어지는 10월 이후의 보온대책을 연구하여 겨울철에도 처리효율을 유지할 수 있는 방법을 강구해야 할 것이다. 6. 본 연구결과에 의하면 전반적으로 인공습지를 농공단지 폐수처리에 적용시킬 수 있다고 판단되며, BOD와 COD 처리의 부족한 부분은 보완성 추가처리를 병행하면 효과적으로 해결할 수 있다고 생각한다. 특히 이 방법에는 시설비, 에너지, 그리고 전문적인 유지관리가 거의 필요없어서 매우 경제적이고 실용적임을 고려하면 농공단지 폐수처리뿐만 아니라 생활오수나 축산폐수 등 응용범위를 확대할 수 있다고 생각한다.

This paper proposes a modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) type membrane bioreactor (MBR) as a method of treatment for wastewater from food waste disposer. Micro-membrane filtration allows for an extremely low concentration of suspended solids in the effluent. The effluent of the reactor in question is characterized by a relatively high level of non-biodegradable organics, containing a substantial amount of soluble microbial products and biomass. Results obtained in this paper by measurement of membrane fouling are consistent with biomass concentration in the reactor, as opposed to chemical oxygen demand (COD). The MLE process is shown to be effective for the treatment of wastewater with a high COD/N ratio of 20, resulting in are markedly high total nitrogen removal efficiency. Denitrification could be improved at a higher internal recycle ratio. Despite the low concentration of influent phosphorus, the phosphorus concentration of the outflow is seen to be relatively high. This is because outflow phosphorous concentration is related to COD consumption, and the process operates at along solids retention time.

축산폐수의 효율적 처리와 최적 메탄발생을 위하여 AF 그리고 이단의 ASBF-PR과 ASBF-SP 실험실적 생물반응기를 구성하고 $35^{\circ}C$ 항온조에서 수리학적체류시간 $1{\sim}2$일 그리고 유기물부하 $1.1{\sim}63kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$까지 연속 운전하여 처리효율을 비교, 분석하였다. 하수종말처리장의 혐기성 소화조 잉여 슬러지에 의한 혐기성 생물반응기의 식종은 효과적이었으며, 적응 기간은 약 40일 정도가 소요되었다. 생물반응기는 COD 제거율 $66.4{\sim}84.9$% 그리고 바이오 가스 발생량은 제거된 COD 기준 $0.333{\sim}0.796m^3/kg-COD{\cdot}d$. 으로 축산폐수의 처리에 효율적이었으며 유입 COD의 증가와 수리학적체류시간의 감소에 의한 유기물부하 증가의 경우 COD 제거율은 감소하고 바이오가스 발생량은 증가하였다. 높은 유기물부하에서 AF와 ASBF-PR의 처리효율은 비슷하였으며 ASBF-SP보다 우수하였다. 생물반응기에 충진된 미디어의 공극율과 공극의 크기가 비표면적에 비교하여 유기물질 제거능력 향상에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 유입수 TKN 농도가 $1,540{\sim}1,870mg/L$ 범위에서 메탄발효 미생물의 활동은 저해영향을 받아 생물반응기의 처리효율과 바이오가스 발생량은 각각 50% 이하로 감소되는 것으로 나타났으므로 혐기성 소화가 축산폐수의 처리에 주 공정으로 응용된다면 전처리에 의한 TKN의 제거는 필수적이다.

The study was conducted with two laboratory biological aerated filter (BAF) reactors: denitrification filter (DF) and nitrification BAF. The influent flow (Q) was fixed to 48 L/d and total empty bed contact time (EBCT) was 1 hr. The flow direction was upflow with NRCY of 1 to 2Q. The secondary effluent was fed to the reactors and the influent concentrations were adjusted with some stock solutions to simulate by-pass concentration during rainfall. The study results indicate that COD and SS removal efficiencies were excellent and not influenced by temperature. Nitrification efficiency was over 90% at the influent loading less than $1.12kg/media\;m^3/d$, but the efficiencies were decreased in low temperature. TN removal efficiencies were 10% to 60%.
