Air flotation is a solid-liquid separation process that utilizes up-flow microbubbles to thicken activated sludge and enhance clarification efficiency. Continuous air flotation experiments were performed to investigate the effect of operation parameters such as initial MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solid) concentration, air pressure, surface loading rate, air to solid (A/S) ratio, and flotation time on thickening efficiency. An initial activated sludge concentration ranged from 3,000 to 12,000mgSS/L and thickened sludge concentration varied from 6,400 to 28,100mgSS/L. The result showed that the thickening efficiency was mainly dependent on surface loading rate, A/S ratio, and flotation time. The pressure did not affect the thickening efficiency when it kept in the range of 1.6 to 1.8 bar. Experimental results showed that the thickening efficiency of activated sludge was increased only when the feed sludge concentration exceeded 5,000mgSS/L and the thickened concentration was over 20,000mgSS/L. At this time, SS concentration in the clarified liquid was ranged from 5 to 10mg/L.

본 연구는 유입수의 농도, 수리학적 체류시간 및 F/M비와 슬러지 첨전성과의 상관관계를 새롭게 명확히 밝혀 기존에 제시된 각 처리법 즉 장기포기법, 재래식 활성슬러지법, 고율 활성슬러지법 및 수정포기법의 설계조건이 도출된 원인을 밝히고 동시에 이들 기 제시된 설계조건에 관계없이 설계가 가능함을 확인하기 위한 연구이다. 본 실험은 특히 체류시간과 미생물의 침강성을 중심으로 고찰되었는데, 이는 슬러지의 침강성이 기존 각 처리법의 운전조건을 결정하는 주인자$^{1)}$이기 때문이다. 따라서 각각의 처리법에 대해 제시된 설계범위를 벗어날 경우 슬러지는 팽화하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 설계의 기초를 제공한 Lesperance$^{1)}$의 실험결과에서도 침강성이 확보되지 않는 부하범위가 발생하는 것으로 나타냈다. 위와 같이 일정 조건에서 슬러지가 팽화하는 원인은 Lesperance가 이전 다년간의 실패와 시도로 밝혀진 연속운전이 가능한 것으로 밝혀진 몇몇의 운전조건을 실험조건으로 채용함에 따라 각각의 체류시간에 해당하는 최적의 부하가 적용되지 않았기 때문이다. 하지만 본 실험결과 부하를 적절히 유지할 경우, F/M비 $6.3kg-BOD/kg-MLSS{\cdot}day$ 이하, HRT 0.67hr 이하의 조건에서 슬러지의 침강성이 SVI치 120 이하로 확보될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 체류시간과 그에 해당하는 최적 부하를 제시하였으며, 체류시간이 미생물의 침강성에 결정적 영향인자임을 밝히고, 아울러 본 실험결과를 근거로 이제까지 알려진 처리법에서는 적용된 바 없는 1시간 이하의 체류시간에서 고율 활성슬러지법의 적용 부하치를 수 배 능가하는 새로운 운전법 (UHR : Ultra high rate)도 가능함을 제시하였다.

Entrapped media with cellulous triacetate in which actived sludge was applied to induce operation factors and sewage treatment on site. The results are summarized as follows; The treatment efficiency of entrapped media is 92％, 90％ and 80％ at the size of 5mm, 7mm, and 12mm, respectively. Also, treatment efficient rate was increased by the packed amount of media in less than 30％ packed, while in more than 40％ packed that was decreased. It takes 10day to reach the steady states and it is less than the existing activated sludge method. The slopes of oxygen consumption rate are almost parallel both in the entrapped media and free sludge. When organic loading rate is less than 1.0 kg/㎥. d on site, it is achieved good removal rate independent of changes of loading rate.

Anaerobic Digestion Process is evaluated as efficient wastewater treatment process with the removal of high concentrations of organic waste and production of biogas. This study was performed using hybrid anaerobic hybrid reactor (AHR) which consists of anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and biofilm-coated filter media was applied for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) for 80 days to know optimum removal efficiency and production of biogas by comparing each part which divided changing Organic Loading Rate (OLR). As a result of this study, the removal efficiency was 90.4 % when the organic loading rate of influent was 15 kg COD/$m^3$/day. Since organic loading rate was up to 20 kg COD/$m^3$/day, the removal rate declined 80.7%. Over loading of influent caused sludge expansion and overproduction of microorganism. Amount of biogas was collected 82.3 L/day and pH was remained 6.9 constantly with balance of alkalinity.

The quality of the effluent from an activated sludge aeration tank can deteriorate when the substrate removal rate decreases due to an abrupt reduction in the DO concentration, which is affected by such operating conditions as the loading rate, temperature, wastewater composition, and so on. In this research, a DO control system that includes a PI (proportional-integral) controller/Hiraoka controller was developed and applied to a pilot-scale activated sludge process, then its acceptability was estimated. The applicability of the respiration rate to DO control was also estimated. The respiration rate indicated a variety of input organic loading rates, which is the main disturbance to the DO concentration in an aeration tank. When the influent concentration incrementally decreased and increased between CODcr 1,000 mg/l and 100 mg/l, the control system with a PI controller exhibited a good llperformance-the average DO concentrations were 2.00$\pm$0.14 mg/l and 1.88$\pm$0.15 mg/l (set value was 2.0 mg/l), respectively, and the settling time was just 10 minites. When the control system was operated for 4 days, the DO concentration was 1.99$\pm$0.18 mg/l and 32.6% of the air flowrate was saved. However, the fluctuations in the respiration rates and air flowrates were severe, which could be harmful to the stability of the biomass and mechanical stability of the blower. A possible approach to solve this problem may be the simultaneous control of the loading rate and DO concentration.

본 연구에서는 실험실 규모의 혐기성 소화 실험을 통하여 고온산발효를 거친 음식물찌꺼기 산발효액과 하수슬러지의 적정 혼합비와 유기물 부하율에 따른 반응조 운전특성을 분석하여 실제 플랜트에 적용가능성을 검토하여 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 음식물지꺼기 고온 산발효액과 하수슬러지를 혼합하여 반연속식으로 혐기성 소화실험을 실시한 결과 유기물 부하율 3.3 gVS/L.d(혼합비 1:1)에서 최적인 것으로 평가되었는데, 이때 SCOD 제거효율은 평균 74.2%, VS 제거효율은 73.6%, 주입된 VS당 생성된 가스량은 $0.440{\ell}/g\;Vs_{add}.d$였으며 평균 메탄 함량은 66.5%로 나타났다. 이는 기존에 음식물찌꺼기를 하수처리장의 중온 소화조에서 처리할 때의 유기물 부하보다 높아 효율성, 경제성에서 유리한 것으로 판단되었다.

In order to treat effectively various type of wastewater discharged from the manufacture factory of organic phosphorous agricultural pesticides by the activated sludge process. The acclimation test of sludge was carried out by the dilution of completely mixed raw wastewater. The results of experiment were obstained as follows. 1. The moderate dilution rate of mixed raw wastewater was founded to about 30 times. 2. The available range of BOD-SS loading was 0.1~0.15 $kg\cdot BOD/kg\cdot SS\cdot day$ and it was similar to the case of extended aeration activated sludge process. 3. After the acclimation of activated sludge, the concentration of MLSS was 2000 mg/L, removal efficiency of BOD more than 90%, and SVI 100, respectively. 4. The oxygen respiratory rate of acclimated sludge was $47 mg\cdot O_2/g\cdot hr$ and this was increased about 5 times than $10 mg\cdot O_2/g\cdot hr$ of ordinary sludge.

This study was conducted to analyze the operating conditions of predenitrification process to improve the treatment efficiency in low organic loading sewage plant in use today, and to investigate the treatment efficiency of pilot plant added night soil as well as the nitrogen removal characteristics of pilot plant added carbon sources. In the operation under the condition of $BOD_{5}$ sludge load 0.03-0.28kg $BOD_{5}$/kg VSS/d and oxic ammoniac nitrogen sludge load 0.02-0.24 $kgNH_{4}^{+}$-N/kg MLVSS/d, nitrification efficiency is higher than 95%. In order to achieve 70% nitrogen removal at the T-N sludge loading 0.06kg T-N/kg VSSㆍd and the SRT 6～11 days, optimum operating factors were revealed to $CODc_{r}$/T-N ratio 9, recycle ratio 2.6, and denitrification volume ratio 0.33. At this time, denitrification capacity was approximately 0.09 kg $NO_{3}^{-}$-N/kg $CODc_{r}$; specific nitrification rate was 3.4mg $NH_{4}^{+}$-N/g MLVSS/hr; and specific denitrification rate was 4.8mg $NO_{3}^{-}$-N/g MLVSS/hr.

This study was carried out to develop the new process for RBC process which is capable of nutrient removal and to obtain its design parameters for Sludge Settling Type Rotating Biological Contactors by comparing RBC with RBC combined with HBR (Hanmee Bio-Reactor). To achieve more than 90% of organic removal efficiency, organic loading rate less than $6.0g\;BOD/m^2/d$ is recommended. Nitrification rate was about 90% at $6.0g\;BOD/m^2/d$. TN removal efficiency of RBC+HBR was higher than those of RBC1 and RBC2. TN removal efficiency at condition of $5.0g\;BOD/m^2/d$ was about 60% in RBC1. When BOD loading rate was $6.0g\;BOD/m^2/d$. TN removal efficiencies in RBC2 and RBC+HBR were about 70%, 80%, respectively. TP removal efficiency was more than about 67% for RBC1, about 63% for RBC2 and about 71 % for RBC+HBR at the same loading rate. From the blank experiment to observe removal efficiency in the first stage, it can be known that COD removal efficiency was about 30% and suspend solids settling rate was about 45%. It was proved that RBC+HBR is much better in sludge dewatering than RBC.
