A pilot study was performed from July 1998 to December 2002, including winter performance, to examine seasonal performance of a constructed wetland and subsequent pond system for treatment of sewage in small communities of Korea. Pond was operated as a intermittent-discharge pond during winter period, and continuous flow system during growing season; its effects was evaluated from December 2001 to April 2003. The subsurface flow (SSF) wetland was satisfactory for treating sewage with good removal efficiency even during the winter period. The wetland effluent concentrations of $BOD_5$ and TSS were often higher in winter than in the growing season, but this was explained by the higher loading rates, rather than lower removal efficiency. The relatively poor-quality wetland effluent was further polished during winter in the pond. The upper layer of the pond water column became remarkably clear immediately after ice melt. In the growing season, ponds could be operated as a continuous flow system to remove nutrients and pathogens, and the effluent of pond could be reused as a supplemental irrigation water without risk of infection by sewage-borne pathogens as well as causing adverse effect on growth and yield. Overall, the wetland system was found to be adequate for treating sewage with stable removal efficiency, and the intermittent-discharge pond was found to be effective for further polishing if necessary. Therefore, the combination of a wetland and subsequent pond system and reuse of effluent as crop irrigation water is recommended as a practical alternative to treat sewage in Korean small communities, and partial discharge of pond water in March is suggested.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting the optimization of coagulation hybrid UF membrane processes for the reuse of secondary effluent from sewage treatment plant. The experimental results obtained from the UF membrane process showed that organic colloids in the size range of $0.2{\mu}m{\sim}1.0{\mu}m$ caused the most substantial influence on the fouling of UF membrane. When using a coagulation pretreatment to UF membrane, alum dosage of 50mg/L resulted in the least reduction in membrane permeate flux. Also, for the rapid mixing process, in-line mixer type was more efficient for organic removal than back mixer type. Therefore, it may be concluded that coagulation-UF hybrid membrane process comparing to UF alone process showed not only higher removal efficiency of organic matter, but also substantial improvement of permeate flux of UF membrane.

Photoreactivation of microorganism following UV-disinfection is one of the research topics of interest in assessing the UV-disinfection performance. Apparent photoreactivation was examined under fluorescent lamp and solar radiation as well as in darkness. Total coliform, fecal coliform, and Escherichia coli were used as indicator microorganisms, and their concentration was monitored with time after UV-disinfection. Under the darkness, their initial concentration of 10∼30 MPN/100 mL increased to the level of 100 MPN/100 mL after 24 hours, which implied that part of damaged microorganisms by UV-disinfection might be repairable with time. Under the fluorescent lamp, photoreactivation was more apparent that their concentration increased up to 1,000 MPN/100 mL which might significantly impair the water uses specially in reuse of reclaimed wastewater. However, their concentration further decreased down to below 2 MPN/100 mL under the solar radiation primarily due to additional disinfection by solar radiation rather than photoreactivation. Samples not disinfected by UV-disinfection also demonstrated substantial decrease of their concentration under solar radiation from about 5,000 MPN/100 mL to less than 30 MPN/100 mL in 24 hours. But direct reuse of effluent without disinfection is not recommended because natural decay by solar radiation may take time and be affected by climatic conditions. The result suggests that photoreactivation of pathogenic microorganisms may not be concerned in agricultural reuse of reclaimed wastewater because solar radiation may provide further disinfection after UV-disinfection.

생물산업 연구단지에서 발생되는 폐수를 처리하기 위해 건설된 폐수처리장의 3차 처리시설로 hybrid 인 공습지 시스템을 적용하여 최종 방류수의 재이용가능성을 평가하였다. 폐수처리를 위한 1차 처리공정은 화학적 처리(약품 응집)이며, 2차 처리공정은 생물학적 처리(표준활성슬러지법)로 구성되어 있다. 3차 처리시설로서 hybrid 인공습지는 자연통풍시스템이 구비된 호기성 인공습지와 혐기/무산소성 인공습지가 순차적으로 연결된 시스템이다. Hybrid 인공습지로 유입되는 2차 생물학적 처리공정의 처리수 농도는 BOD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 평균 농도가 각각 53mg/L, 48mg/L, 34mg/L 및 3mg/L로 나타났으며, hybrid 인공습지에서의 최종방류수의 BOD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 평균농도는 각각 2.3mg/L, 1.2mg/L, 7.95mg/L 및 0.83mg/L로 나타나 하수처리수의 재이용권고수질기준과 비교할 때 조경용수나 세척용수 등의 용도로 직접 재이용이 가능한 수질이 확보될 수 있었다. Hybrid 인공습지는 반응조를 호기 및 혐기/무산소 조건으로 기능화 함으로서 높은 효율로 오염물질이 제거될 수 있었으며, 이러한 결과로부터 다양한 하수 및 폐수의 3차 처리시설로서 활용이 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate integrated anaerobic hydrogen fermentation and membrane bioreactor (MBR) for on-site domestic wastewater treatment and resource recovery. A synthetic wastewater (COD 17,000 mg/L) was used as artificial brown water which will be discharged from urine diversion toilet and fed into a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) type anaerobic reactor with inclined plate. The effluent of anaerobic reactor mixed with real household grey water (COD 700 mg/L) was further treated by MBR for reuse. An optimum condition maintained in anaerobic reactor was HRT of 8 hrs, pH 5.5, SRT of 5 days and temperature of $37^{\circ}C$. COD removal of 98% was achieved from the overall system. Total gas production rate and hydrogen content was 4.6 L/day and 52.4% respectively. COD mass balance described the COD distribution in the system via reactor byproducts and effluent COD concentration. The results of this study asserts that, anaerobic hydrogen fermentation combined with MBR is a potent system in stabilizing waste strength and clean hydrogen recovery which could be implemented for onsite domestic wastewater treatment and reuse.

S전자에서 발생되는 유기성 산업폐수의 생물학적 처리인 MBR 공정의 유출수를 LCD 제조공정의 용수로 재사용하기 위하여 $32m^3/d$ 규모의 pilot-scale RO 막분리 공정을 구축하고 RO 막분리 공정의 운전압력과 투과유량에 따른 막간차압 및 CIP 주기 그리고 TOC와 전기전도도의 용질분리에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. MBR 공정의 유출수는 일반적인 처리수 재사용 수질기준을 만족하나 LCD 제조공정의 S전자 자체 재사용 용수 수질기준인 TOC<1mg/L와 전기전도도<$100{\mu}S/cm$를 만족하지 못하므로 후속 처리가 불가피하다. RO 막분리 공정의 회수율을 85%로 일정하게 유지한 상태에서 투과유량을 12.5 LMH에서 22.0 LMH로 증가시키면서 운전한 결과 모든 투과유량에서 RO 투과수는 자체 재활용 용수 수질기준을 만족하였다. 그러나 RO 막오염에 의한 막간차압이 상승되어 CIP 주기는 투과유량이 증가되면 짧아지는 효과가 나타났다. RO 막분리 공정의 최적 운전인자는 회수율 85%에서 투과유량 16.5~18.5 LMH이었으며 운전압력은 $6.7{\sim}12.4kgf/cm^2$, CIP 주기는 투과생산량/운전비에 적절한 20일~25일로 나타났다.

A pilot study was performed to examine the feasibility of UV disinfection system and the reactivation of indicator microorganisms (TC, FC, E. coli) after UV irradiation for agricultural reuse of reclaimed water. Photoreactivation and dark repair enable UV-inactivated microorganisms to recover and may reduce the efficacy of UV inactivation, which might be drawbacks of the UV disinfection method. The effluent of biofilter for 16-unit apartment house was used as input to the UV disinfection system, and average SS and BOD concentration were 3.8 and 5.7 mg/L, respectively, and the mean level of total coliform was in the range of $1.0\times10^4$ MPN/100mL. UV disinfection was found to be effective and it reduced mean concentration of indicator microorganisms (total coliform, fecal coliform, and E. coli) to less than 100 MPN/100mL within 60s exposure using 17, 25, and 40W lamps. Two UV doses of 6 and 16 mW$\cdot$s/$\textrm{km}^2$ were applied and microorganisms reactivation was monitored under the dark, photoreactivating light, and solar irradiation. Microorganisms reactivation was observed in the UV dose of 6 mW$\cdot$s/$\textrm{km}^2$, and numbers increased up to 5% at the photoreactivating light and 1% at the dark. However, microorganisms were inactivated rather than reactivated at the solar radiation and numbers decreased to non-detectible level about below 2 MPN/100mL in 4 hours. In the case of 16 mW$\cdot$s/$\textrm{km}^2$, microorganism reactivation was not observed indicating that UV dose might affect the reactivation process such as photoreactivation and dark repair. Therefore, concerns associated with microorganism reactivation could be controlled by sufficient UV dose application. Agricultural reuse of reclaimed water might be even less concerned due to exposure to the solar irradiation that could further inactivate microorganisms. The pilot study result is encouraging, however, sanitary concern in water reuse is so critical that more comprehensive investigation is recommended.
