중소규모 사업장의 대부분은 회분식 반응공정을 이용하여 소량 다품종의 제품을 생산한다. 회분식 공정은 연속식 공정에 비해 수동운전의 비율이 높아서 인적오류에 의한 사고발생 가능성이 상대적으로 높으며, 사고 발생 시 인적 피해가 크게 나타날 수 있는 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 또한 대규모의 사업장에 비해 적절한 위험성평가나 안전관리가 이루어지기 어렵다. 따라서 회분식 공정에서의 위험특성을 구체적으로 규명하고, 이를 바탕으로 회분식 반응기에서의 사고를 예방하기 위한 일반적인 가이드를 제시하고자 한다. 이러한 회분식 공정의 위험성평가와 관련하여 영국 및 미국 화공학회에서는 화학반응 및 회분식 반응공정의 위험성평가 지침을 제시하고 있다.(중략)

DO, ORP and pH values measured during SBR operation can provide information about removal reaction of organic contaminants and nutrient materials in the reactor. It is already generalized control strategy to control reaction phase time using their special patterns indicating the end of the removal reactions. However, those informations are limited to point out the end time of oxidative reaction in the aerobic phase or reductive reaction in the anoxic phase without giving quantitative value of influent loading level. In this research, a diagnosis algorithm which can estimate the loading level of carbon and ammonia as high, medium and low was developed using the basic measurements like DO, ORP, and pH. It will be possible to know the level of influent loading rate from those online measurements without experimental analysis.

The present study was to investigate the continuous production of alcohol using immobilized carrier manufactured by polymeric materials. Fermentation runs with a crushed rice, with constituents recovered from batch culture and with ones from continuous culture were thus compared. The performances of immobilized carrier were governed by sandwitched synthetic polymers, the evolution of the continuous culture was steadily governed by the production of alcohol in the lag time of batch culture. The main focus was set on the enhancement of the alcohol production by an newly-developed polymeric forms. This polymeric form led to a drastic increase of the microorganism and the production cost in the continuous reactor was thereby reduced. The sandwitched polymeric-formed carrier, which was resistant to external environments, serves as an interesting alternative to maintain the stability of biological process. These whole results were discussed with the aim to better understand the continuous process implied in the microorganism's build-up during cultivation of fermentation broth.

본 연구는 연속 회분식 반응기(SBR) 공정에서 시계열 데이터 마이닝을 이용하여 공정에 사용된 기기의 고장 진단 알고리즘 개발에 대한 내용을 보여주고 있다. 공정에서 비정상적인 반응을 유발하는 장비 관리에 대한 연구는 폭넓게 수행되고 있지 않으므로, 이러한 장비 진단은 소규모 하$\cdot$폐수처리장을 무인자동화로 통합관리에 유용하게 적용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 진동신호를 이용하여 무인자동화를 위해 선행되어야 하는 공정기기의 공장진단에 관한 알고리즘을 개발하였다.

The profiles of on-line sensors such as DO, ORP and pH can provide useful information about pollutant removal reaction in sequencing batch reactor. For detection of denitrification completion, the nitrate hee point from ORP profile has been considered as a main indicator of denitrification completion. However, many researchers pointed out that the nitrate knee usually disappeared been the progress of denitrification is so fast and it makes the fault at detection of denitrification completion. In this paper, dynamic time warping(DTW) method and discriminant analysis were used to detect and isolate the profiles of two cases, denitrification completed and uncompleted. As the results, proposed methods can detect state of denitrification successfully.

Using the whole cell immobilized glucose isomerase which was prepared in the previous work (Korean J. Food Sci. & Technol., 11(3), 192 (1979), the specific activity of the immobilized enzyme was 48.1 units in the batch reaction system and 114 units in the continuous reaction system per g of matrix, respectively. In the continuous reactor the voidity was 0.36, which was suitable for the packed bed reactor. This immobilized enzyme showed a good operational stability of 115 days of half life which was sufficient for the continuous operation. The experimental result showed that 55 % of the substrate was converted to the product in the packed bed reactor. The productivity was dependent on the flow rate, column geometry, enzyme loading, and substrate concentration. An intrapaticle diffusion was observed by the effectiveness factor of 0.75 and interparticle diffusion by the decrease of Km' with increasing the superficial velocity.

This paper describes how to diagnose SBR plant equipment using time-series data mining. It shows the equipment diagnostics based upon vibration signals that are acquired front each device lot process control. Data transform techniques including two data preprocessing skills and data mining methods were employed in the data analysis. The proposed method is not only suitable for SBR equipment, but is also suitable for other Industrial devices. The experimental results performed on a lab-scale SBR plant show a good equip-ment-management performance.

A process for the production of bioplastics from wastewater with an open microbial culture was developed and evaluated. The process consists of a selection reactor to select bacteria in feast/famine regime and an accumulation reactor to produce PHA using selected bacteria. Polyhydroxyalkanoate(PHAs) accumulating bacteria could be efficiently grown in a sequencing batch reactor(SBR) without any growth limitation. For the high production of PHA limitation such as oxygen and nutrients seemed to be needed. Accumulation experiments were performed to evaluate the level of accumulation of PHA. Limited aeration had no effect, but nutrients limitation showed high accumulation. Bacteria which were selected in the SBR could accumulate PHA till 60% of cellular dry weight in accumulation experiments under nitrogen limitation. PHA accumulation rate decreased with increasing PHA content in the cells. Clearly, PHA accumulation rate has a strong correlation with the PHA content of the cells.

This article aims to optimize the nitrogen removal of a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) through the use of the activated sludge model and iterative dynamic programming (IDP). Using a minimum batch time and a maximum nitrogen removal for minimum energy consumption, a performance index is developed on the basis of minimum area criteria for SBR optimization. Choosing area as the performance index makes the optimization problem simpler and a proper weighting in the performance index makes it possible to solve minimum time and energy problem of SBR simultaneously. The optimized results show that the optimal set-point of dissolved oxygen affects both the total batch time and total energy cost. For two different influent loadings, IDP-based SBR optimizations suggest each supervisory control of batch scheduling and set-point trajectory of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, and can save 20% of the total energy cost, while meeting the treatment requirements of COD and nitrogen. Moreover, it shows that the re-optimization of IDP within a batch can solve the modelling error problem due to the influent loading changes, or the process faults.

There have been several problems in treating shipbard sewage due to special environmental conditions of ship, such as limited space, rolling and pitching, change of temperature and so on It was suggested that Sequence Batch Reactor (SBR) might be suitable process for overcome these problems in terms of small size, high capacity of treating wastewater and full automation. In this study a SBR process was employed for biological treatment of organic wastes in the shipboard sewage. This process was able to remove nitrogen and phosphorus as well as organic matter efficiently. Afore than 95％ of chemical oxygen demand(COD) were removed. In addition, about 97％ of total nitrogen (T-N) was reduced. The total phosphorus(T-P) reduction averaged 93％. A disturbance operation caused by the treatment of Methylene Blue Active Substances(MBAS) was not observed.
