The PBL (Poly-butadiene Latex) production process is a typical batch process. Changes of the reactor characteristics due to the accumulated scaling with the increase of batch cycles require adaptive tuning of the PID controller being used. In this work we propose a tuning method for PID controllers based on the closed-loop identification and the genetic algorithm (GA) and apply it to control the PBL process. An approximated process transfer function for the PBL reactor is obtained from the closed-loop data using a suitable closed-loop identification method. Tuning is performed by GA optimization in which the objective function is given by ITAE for the setpoint change. The proposed tuning method showed good control performance in actual operations.

This paper investigates the feasibility of applying the jet loop reactor for the neutralization of alkaline wastewater using carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). In this study, pH changes and $CO_2$ removal characteristics were examined by changing influent flow rate of alkaline wastewater (initial pH=10.1) and influent $CO_2$ flow rates. Influent flow rates of alkaline wastewater ($Q_{L,in}$) ranged between 0.9 and 6.6 L/min, and inlet gas flow rate ($Q_{G,in}$) of 1 and 6 L/min in a lab-scale continuous flow jet loop reactor. The outlet pH of wastewater was maintained at 7.2 when the ratio ($Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$) of $Q_{L,in}$ and $Q_{G,in}$ was 1.1. However, the $CO_2$ removal efficiency and the outlet pH of wastewater were increased when $Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$ ratio was higher than 1.1. Throughout the experiments, the maximum $CO_2$ removal efficiency and the outlet pH of wastewater were 98.06% and 8.43 at the condition when $Q_{G,in}$ and $Q_{L,in}$ were 2 L/min and 4 L/min, respectively.

Pollutants removal and disinfection effect of secondary effluent from final settling tank of sewage treatment plant of W city were investigated in Loop Reactor using ordinary granular activated carbon(GAC) and GAC coated with silver nanoparticles. The results showed that the removal efficiency of $COD_{Mn}$, T-N and T-P using GAC with silver nanoparticles were higher than using the ordinary GAC. The removal efficiency of T-P using GAC with silver nanoparticles is 45.4% and that of T-P using ordinary GAC is 30.9% in the same case of the input amount of 20 g/L of GAC. The total califorms is reduced according to increasing input amount of GAC with silver nanoparticles and ordinary GAC. The disinfection efficiency of total coliforms in case of GAC with silver nanoparticles is much higher than that in case of ordinary GAC. For all experiments using the silver nanoparticles, the total coliforms is under 26 cfu/mL and this shows very excellent disinfection effect.

본 연구는 종합염색폐수처리장으로 유입되는 염색폐수를 원활히 처리할 수 있는 반응기를 찾아내고자 각 반응기의 성능 및 제거효율, 안전성등을 조사하였다. 선행된 연구에서 종합염색폐수를 1차 생물학적 처리를 위하여 활성슬러지 생물반응기를 통하여 처리한 것보다 활성탄 담체를 이용한 Jet loop reactor(JLRAS)를 개발하여 처리한 것이 더욱 제거효율을 향상시켰다. 본 연구에서는 활성탄 담체를 이용한 Jet loop reactor를 이용함으로써 F/M ratio 가 크게 증가하여 2.3일 때 feed의 증가량에 따른 JLRAS 에서 보다 높은 비기질제거율을 보여주고 있으며 $COD_{Mn}/BOD ratio를 조사하여 유출수에 난분해성 물질이 많이 제거되어지고 $COD_{Mn} loading rate, 즉 부하변동에 따라서도 안정한 수질을 얻을 수 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Circulating fluidized bed system consists of SEWGS reactor - lower loop seal - regeneration reactor - riser - cyclone - upper loop seal has been used for solid circulation between the SEWGS reactor and the regeneration reactor in a SEWGS system for pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture. A vertical type lower loop seal has been used in current system but this lower loop seal requires high gas flow rate through the lower loop seal for fluidization and smooth solid circulation, and consequently, causes slugging behavior sometimes. To overcome these disadvantages, inclined type lower loop seal was proposed by this study. Solid circulation characteristics with change of lower loop seal geometry were measured and compared in a bubbling - bubbling - riser type circulating fluidized bed using $CO_2$ absorbent (P-78) as bed material at ambient temperature and pressure. We could conclude that the inclined lower loop seal is better than the vertical type lower loop seal from the viewpoints of minimum flow rate requirement for stable solid circulation and solid height change during solid circulation.

To remove heat generated during a burn-up test of nuclear fuels, the heat generation rate of nuclear fuels should be calculated accurately, and a coolant should be circulated in the test loop at an adequate flow rate. HANARO is an open pool-type reactor with an independent test loop for the burn-up test of nuclear fuels. A test rig is installed in the test loop, and a coolant is circulated through the test loop to maintain the temperature of the nuclear fuel rods within a desired temperature during an irradiation test. The components and sensors in the test rig can be broken or malfunction owing to the flow-induced vibration. In this study, a coolant flow simulation system was developed to verify and confirm the soundness of components and sensors assembled in the test rig with a high flow rate of the coolant.

High pressure. high temperature steam/water blowdown test loop has been constructed. The loop simulates a pressurizer. depressurizalion system and In-Containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST) with full pressure and temperature conditions. and will be used to generate data for development of an optimal sparser as well as for design of safety/automatic depressurization system. In addition. experiments for reactor safety and pressurizer thermal hydraulics are scheduled. In this paper. general description of the Blowdown and Condensation (B&C) Loop will be given together with the test program.

A nuclear fuel test loop(after below, FTL) is installed in the IRI of an irradiation hole in HANARO for testing the neutron irradiation characteristics and thermo hydraulic characteristics of a fuel loaded in a light water power reactor or a heavy water power reactor. There is an in-pile section(IPS) and an out-pile section(OPS) in this test loop. When HANARO is operated normally, the fuel loaded into the IPS has a nuclear reaction heat generated by a neutron irradiation. To remove the generated heat and to maintain the operation conditions of the test fuel, a main cooling water system(MCWS) is installed in the OPS of the FTL. The MCWS is composed of a main cooler, a pressurizer, two circulation pumps, a main heater, an interconnection pipe line and instruments. The interconnection pipeline is a closed loop which is connected to an inlet and an outlet of the IPS respectively. The MCWS is under a cold function test during a start-up period. This paper describes the system flow network analysis results of the flow control of a main cooling water system in the HANARO fuel test loop. It was confirmed through the results that the flow was met the system design requirements.
