본 연구에서는 건조 하수슬러지의 화석연료와의 혼소 가능성 평가를 연소특성, 경제적 이익 2가지 관점에서 평가하였다. 공업분석 결과 A하수처리장의 건조 하수슬러지의 휘발분은 36.48%, B하수처리장은 40.10%로 석탄에 비해 매우 높았으며, 연료비는 0.12, 0.14로 매우 낮아 연료로써의 품질은 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 특히 연소성 지수가 30,000kcal/kg 이상으로 연료의 기준인 3,000~5,000kcal/kg을 크게 초과하여 건조 하수슬러지의 개질이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 건조 하수슬러지의 경제성 평가 결과 석탄의 절감에 따른 이익은 연간 73.4억원, REC인증 이익은 56.4억원이 발생하는 것으로 산정되었다. 반면에 회분처리비용 증가에 따른 손실은 2.6억원, 건조 하수슬러지의 혼소에 소요되는 설비의 투자 및 운영비가 4.2억원으로 산정되어 건조 하수슬러지의 혼소에 따른 경제적 이익은 연간 123억원으로 추산되었다. 다만, 건조 하수슬러지의 생산에 소요되는 동력 및 건조 하수슬러지의 혼소로 인한 환경오염 등에 대한 비용은 본 연구에서 고려되지 못하였으며 향후 이에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 필요할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate applicability of pretreatment on the existing biological treatment for domestic wastewater reclamation. From Jar Tests, it was found that optimum dosage of coagulant was PAC 0.5mg/L and $FeCl_3$ 180mg/L for urban sewage. In this study, PAC 0.5mg/L was selected considering sludge production and the amount of coagulant required. In a continuous experiment performed with combining chemical coagulation and biological treatment, a considerable removal efficency was obtained in term of BOD, SS, T-N, T-P and ABS. When the raw sewage was supplied into the pre-chamical treatment facility, the removal of BOD and SS was 48.3% and 81.1%. However T-N removal was very low which means T-N consists of $NH_3-N$ mostly. T-P was almost completely recluced by the chemical addition. The effluent BOD & SS was 57~76 and 21~43mg/L, which could reduce the size of biological treatment facility. From the cost estimation pre-chemical treatment could save around half of the area required for biological treatment with post ceagulation.

The study focuses on 32 environmental facilities in Incheon Metropolitan City, South Korea, categorizes them by sector: sewage treatment, wastewater treatment, incineration, landfill, water purification, and water supply. Their GHG reduction results are analyzed through quantitative and qualitative measures for 2012 to 2015. The study surveys and examines GHG reductions of the environmental facilities for two categories - facility operation and management. The findings are as follows: First, the GHG reduction rate, an emission-to-allocation ratio, from 2012 to 2015 is 89.67%. Second, GHG reductions coming from qualitative measures of facility management are even greater than those from quantitative measures of facility operation. Third, GHG reductions through facility operation are mostly attributable to overhauls, less use of facilities, resources recycling, process improvement rather than the betterment of fuels, facilities and energy efficiency. Fourth, higher reduction can be achieved by effective facility management, qualitative measures.

본 연구는 공공하수처리시설의 다양한 운영방식(직영, 공공 위탁, 민간 대행)에 따른 성과의 차이를 분석하고 연구 결과를 토대로 국민에게 가장 효율적이고 높은 수준의 하수처리 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 운영방식과 개선방안을 도출하고자 하는 목적을 가진 연구이다. 이를 위해 경제적 성과지표(하수처리 비용, 하수도 요금)와 사회적 성과지표(수질, 민원 수)를 선정하여 횡단 분석(cross-section data)과 종단 분석(longitudinal analysis)의 방법으로 세 집단 이상의 평균 차이 검증을 일원분산분석(ANOVA)을 통해 실시하였다. 분석 결과 횡단 분석에서의 경제적 성과 차원에서는 운영방식에 따라 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 사회적 성과 차원에서는 운영방식별로 차이가 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 수질 지표의 경우 공공 위탁에서, 민원 발생 건수에서는 민간 대행에서 직영 대비 우수한 성과를 보이고 있었다. 종단 분석에서는 대부분 성과지표에서 운영방식별로 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 공공서비스의 효율성 제고와 서비스 수준 제고를 위해서는 공공 위탁이나 민간 대행 도입 논리 외에 서비스별 특성에 맞는 다양한 접근이 요구된다고 하겠다. 아울러 향후 지자체가 하수도 위탁을 추진한다면 서비스의 성격과 지자체별 특수성, 서비스 이용자의 니즈 등을 잘 파악하여 추진하는 것이 필요하다.

Objectives: For the field application of the dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor, scale-up of the plasma reactor is needed. This study investigated the possibility of inactivation of microorganisms in sewage using pilot multi-plasma reactor. We also considered the possibility of degradation of total organic carbon (TOC) and nonbiodegradable matter ($UV_{254}$) in sewage. Methods: The pilot plasma reactor consists of plasma reactor with three plasma modules (discharge electrode and quartz dielectric tube), liquid-gas mixer, high voltage transformers, gas supply equipment and a liquid circulation system. In order to determine the operating conditions of the pilot plasma reactor, we performed experiments on the operation parameters such as gas and liquid flow rate and electric discharge voltage. Results: The experimental results showed that optimum operation conditions for the pilot plasma reactor in batch experiments were 1 L/min air flow rate), 4 L/min liquid circulation rate, and 13 kV electric discharge voltage, respectively. The main operation factor of the pilot plasma process was the high voltage. In continuous operation of the air plasma process, residual microorganisms, $UV_{254}$ absorbance and TOC removal rate at optimal condition of 13 kV were $10^{2.24}$ CFU/mL, 56.5% and 8.6%, respectively, while in oxygen plasma process at 10 kV, residual microorganisms, $UV_{254}$ absorbance and TOC removal rate at optimal conditions were $10^{1.0}$ CFU/mL, 73.3% and 24.4%, respectively. Electric power was increased exponentially with the increase in high voltage ($R^2$ = 0.9964). Electric power = $0.0492{\times}\exp^{(0.6027{\times}lectric\;discharge\;voltage)}$ Conclusions: Inactivation of microorganisms in sewage effluent using the pilot plasma process was done. The performance of oxygen plasma process was superior to air plasma process. The power consumption of oxygen plasma process was less than that of air plasma process. However, it was considered that the final evaluation of air and oxygen plasma must be evaluated by considering low power consumption, high process performance, operating costs and facility expenses of an oxygen generator.

This study was conducted to investigate the possible installation of small hydro-power plant at the discharge point of Gumi sewage treatment plant (STP) using treated wastewater. Sufficient amount of water to transfer to electric power and the selection of proper location are two essential elements for the construction of small hydro-power facility. Preliminary analysis based on site visit and existing data in Gumi STP were made. Capacity of the small hydro-power plants and exact location were determined by geomorphological condition and flow duration characteristics. Flow duration characteristics and its duration curve were identified using monthly rainfall data in Gumi STP. Relevant facts of small hydro-power system in other STP were referred to adopt to Gumi STP situation. Flowrate of treated effluents and effective head between flow chamber and the location of hydraulic turbine in Gumi STP are found to be $3.70m^3$/sec and 3.5m respectively. Electric generation rate based on this feasibility study was estimated to be 86.3kW/h. Yearly electric generation rate was expected to be 932.4MMh. Proposed small hydro-power plant construction in Gumi STP is to be reasonable.

Pyrolysis/gasification technology utilizes an energy conversion technique from various waste resources, such as biomass, solid waste, sewage sludge, and etc. to generating a syngas (synthesis gas). However, one of the major problems for the pyrolysis gasification is the presence of tar in the product gas. The tar produced might cause damages and operating problems on the facility. In this study, a gliding arc plasma reformer was developed to solve the previously acknowledged issues. An experiment was conducted using surrogate benzene and naphthalene, which are generated during the pyrolysis and/or gasification, as the representative tar substance. To identify the characteristics of the influential parameters of tar decomposition, tests were performed on the steam feed amount (steam/carbon ratio), input discharge power (specific energy input, SEI), total feed gas amount and the input tar concentration. In benzene, the optimal operating conditions of the gliding arc plasma 2 in steam to carbon (S/C) ratio, 0.98 $kWh/m^3$ in SEI, 14 L/min in total gas feed rate and 3.6% in benzene concentration. In naphthalene, 2.5 in S/C ratio, 1 $kWh/m^3$ in SEI, 18.4 L/min in total gas feed rate and 1% in naphthalene concentration. The benzene decomposition efficiency was 95%, and the energy efficiency was 120 g/kWh. The naphthalene decomposition efficiency was 79%, and the energy yield was 68 g/kWh.
