Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the largest pollutant discharged into the rivers of Malaysia. Thus UF membrane study was conducted to investigate the effect of pressure and stirring speed on performance of POME treatment and fouling of membrane. Two types of membrane polyethersulfone (PES) and regenerated cellulose (RC) with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) 5 and 10 kDa were used in this study. Results showed that, as pressure increased, fouling increased however permeate quality improved, the best pressure was 1.0 bar, where the fouling was not too high and produce good permeate quality. As stirring speed increased, fouling reduced and permeate quality improved, however, when stirring speed increased from 600 rpm to 800 rpm, there was no significant improvement on the permeate quality. Therefore, the best condition was at 1.0 bar and 600 rpm. PES membrane with MWCO 5 kDa showed the best permeate quality, even fouling slightly higher than RC membrane. The permeate quality obtained were analyzed in term of dissolved solid, turbidity, suspended solid, biological oxygen demand ($BOD_5$) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were 538 mg/L, 1.02 NTU, < 25 mg/L, 27.7 mg/L and 62.8 mg/L, respectively with dominant type of fouling is cake resistance. Thus, it can be concluded water reuse standard was successfully achieved in terms of $BOD_5$ and suspended solid.

우리나라 대부분의 하수처리장에서는 영양염류 및 MBAS의 제거를 위하여 생물학적 고도처리시설과 모래여과시설을 설치하여 운영하고 있다. 그러나 미처리된 영양염류 및 합성세제가 수계에 그대로 유입되어 하천에 사상성부착조류의 발생 및 하천의 자정작용을 방해하여 물에서의 이 취미 발생과 거품 때문에 미관상 불쾌하여 하수처리수를 도시하천유지용수로 재이용하는 G 하수처리장을 실험 대상으로 하여 모래여과시설에 대한 MBAS 제거효율을 파악하고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 그 결과 모래여과를 이용한 MBAS의 최대 제거 효율은 24시간이 지난 후에 63% 정도로 나타났고 특히, 2시간 내지 4시간이 경과한 후의 MBAS 제거 효율도 30% 정도로 그 효과는 아주 적은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 모래여과를 이용한 MBAS 제거는 여과지속시간이 장시간 소요되어 시설부지의 대규모화 등 경제성이 부족하고 제거 효율도 거의 기대에 미치지 못하여 앞으로 하수처리수를 하천유지용수로 재이용하는 하천에서는 MBAS 제거를 위해서는 모래여과시설보다는 다른 공법의 연구와 대책이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

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.

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.

The effect of reclaimed water irrigation on paddy rice culture was evaluated by pilot study at the experimental field of Konkuk University in Seoul, Korea. The sewage was treated by constructed wetland system, and its effluent was used as irrigation water for four treatments and one control plots with three replications. Irrigation of reclaimed water onto paddy rice cultures did not adversely affect the growth and yield of rice. Instead, experimental rice plots of reclaimed water irrigation displayed about 10 to 50% more yield on average than controls. This implies that reclaimed water irrigation might be beneficial rather than harmful to rice culture as long as the sewage is treated adequately and used properly. The amount of irrigation water had little effect on experimental rice cultures, but its strength was important. The strength of treated sewage was not a limiting factor in this study, and no lodging was observed even with a relatively high nitrogen concentration (up to 160mg/L). In general the paddy soil was not affected by reclaimed water irrigation. However, there was an indication that continuous irrigation with high strength of reclaimed water might cause salt accumulation in the soil. Supplemental use of reclaimed water with existing sources of irrigation water is recommended rather than irrigation with a single source of reclaimed water. Overall, the results demonstrated that reclaimed water could be reused as a supplemental source of irrigation water for paddy rice culture without causing adverse effects as long as it is properly managed. For full-scale application, further investigation should be done on environmental risks, tolerable water quality, and fraction of supplemental irrigation.

이 연구에서는 하수처리수를 농업용수로써 재이용시 발생할 수 있는 위생문제를 검토하기 위해 하천수, biofilter 유출수, 그리고 UV소독수를 관개한 벼재배 실험포트에서 지표미생물의 밀도변화를 조사하였다. 우리나라 하수처리장 유출수 수질기준을 살펴보면, USEPA에서 정하고 있는 농업용수 재이용 수질기준 항목인 $BOD_5$와 SS의 수질기준은 만족시키지만, 대장균의 경우추가적인 처리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 벼 식재 직후인 5월과 6월의 경우 관개 후 24시간 동안의 평균밀도가 $10^2{\sim}10^4$의 범위에서 관개용수의 밀도와 상관없이 지표미생물의 밀도변화는 크게 나타나지 않았다. 이 시기에는 기비와 추비로 인해 미생물의 성장에 필요한 영양물질, 교란된 저질의 높은 미생물 밀도 등에 영향을 받고 논의 벼 생육생태가 덜 성숙되었기 때문으로 판단된다. 그러나 7월과 8월은 처리구별로 밀도차이가 컸고 24시간 동안 변화폭도 컸으며, 관개용수 미생물밀도에 영향도 일부 나타났다. 실험기간동안 지표미생물의 밀도를 관개용수별로 분산 분석한 결과, UV소독 후 관개한 경우가 하천수와 biofilter 유출수를 사용한 경우보다 낮은 밀도를 나타내었다. 실제 논농사가 이루어지고 있던 양평군의 하천관개 논과 여주군의 지하수관개 논의시료분석에서 지표미생물 밀도는 FC, E. coli밀도가 TC밀도보다 크게 낮았으며, 시기별로 밀도의 차이가 있으나, TC, FC, 그리고 E. coli의 평균밀도가 약 4,000, 400,300 MPN/100mL범위를 나타내었다. TC의 밀도는 본 실험포트 실험과 유사한 범위이었으며, FC와 E. coli는 실험포트에서 초기 경운시 사용된 biofilter 유출수의 영향으로 실제 논보다 높은 값이었다. 이앙기 때에는 특별히 논 표면수와 신체접촉이 많은 점을 고려할 때 하수처리수만을 관개하여 이앙준비를 하는 것보다 하수처리수를 보조관개용수로 사용하는 것이 보다 안전할 것으로 판단된다. 하수처리수를 농업용수로 재이용할 경우 하수처리수를 관개용수로 직접 이용하기보다는 UV소독으로 보건 위생학적으로 높은 안정성을 확보할 수 있으며 하수처리수재이용 수질기준에도 적합할 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 벼의 생육에 영향을 줄 수 있는 영양물질과다로 인한 도복문제, 하수처리수에 존재할 수 있는 독성물질에 의한 영향 등 하수처리수를 관개강수로 이용하는 데에는 종합적이고 과학적인 고찰이 필요하며, 본연구의 결과는 하수처리수를 농업적으로 이용할 경우 공공의 보건 ·위생적인 안전을 확보하기 위한 기초연구로서의 성격을 갖는다고 할 수 있다.

하수처리장 방류수의 재이용을 위해 2004년 1월$\~$12월까지 수질상태를 조사하였다. BOD, SS, 탁도, 총인과 색도의 월별로 조사한 연평균은 각각 4.1mg/L, 2.9mg/L, 0.8NTU, 1.3mg/L, 27unit이었다. 쟈테스트는 급속혼화 5분, 완속교반 15분, 침전 1시간의 조건하에서 오염물질의 제거율을 조사하였다. 사용된 응집제는 Alum과 폴리염화알루미늄이고, 방류수 중의 색도, 탁도, 총인, 총유기탄소 등을 제거하는데 효과가 있었다. 특히 폴리염화알루미늄을 사용시 탁도와 용존성인의 제거 효과가 좋았다. 응집공정과 연속한 정밀여과 공정에 의한 유기물의 제거효과를 조사한 결과, 분자량 1,000 Dalton 이상의 범위에 있는 물질의 제거가 잘 이루어진 반면, 소독부산물의 생성에 영향을 주는 분자량 500 Dalton 이하 물질의 제거율은 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 복합공정에서 이 범위 분자량의 물질을 제거하기 위해 흡착공정 등의 추가공정이 필요할 것으로 본다.

To start with, finding a sustainable method to produce sweet water and electricity by using renewable energies is one of the most important issues at this time. So, experimental and theoretical analysis of the performance of a closed solar powered still, which is jointed to photovoltaic cells and vacuum pump and equipped by nano plate, as the principle stage of zero discharge desalination process is investigated in this project. Major goal of this work is to reuse the concentrated brine of the Mobin petrochemical complex in order to produce potable, sweet water from effluent saline wastewater and generating electricity in the same time by using solar energy instead of discharging them to the environment. It is observed the increase in brackish water temperature increases the average daily production of solar desalination still considerably. Therefore, the nano plate and vacuum pump are added to augment the evaporation rate. The insolation rate, evaporation rate, the average brackish temperature, ambient temperature, density are investigated during a year 2013. In addition to obtain the capacity of solar powered still, the highest and lowest amount of water and electricity generation are reported during a twelvemonth (2013). Results indicate the average daily production is increased 16%, which represents 7.78 kW.h energy saving comparing with traditional solar still.

Energy, a critical input, is to be efficiently managed via waste heat recovery and energy reuse for the economic viability of a process industry. In particular, cement manufacture demands a huge quantum of energy, for the necessary reactions. Huge amounts of hot effluent gases are generated. Energy recovery from these waste gases is an area that is of contemporary research interest. Now, about 75% of total heat recovery takes place in the riser of the suspension pre-heater system. This article deals with the hydrodynamic and heat transfer aspects of riser typically used in the cement industry. An experimental apparatus was designed and fabricated with provision for the measurement of gas pressure and solid temperatures at different heights of the riser. The system studied was air - chalcopyrite taken in different particle sizes. Acceleration length ($L_A$) determined at different parametric levels was fitted to an empirical correlation: $L_A/d_t=4.91902(d_p/d_t)^{0.10058}(w_s/w_g)^{-0.11691}(u_g{\mu}_g/d_t^2g{\rho}_g)^{0.28574}({\rho}_p/{\rho}_g)^{0.42484}$. An empirical model was developed for Nusselt number as a function of Reynolds and Prandtl numbers using regression analysis: $Nu=0.40969(Re_p)^{0.99953}(Pr)^{0.03569}$.
