낮은 수심, 저 유속의 수로 자갈층에 형성된 생물막을 이용하여 오염물질을 제거하는 박층류 자연정화기법의 효율적인 설계와 운영지침을 얻기 위하여 경기도 용인시 오산천 일부 구간에 현장적용을 위한 Test-bed를 조성하여 박층류 자연정화수로에서의 오염물질 제거 효율을 조사하였다. 오염물질은 녹조발생의 주요 원인물질인 인과 질소를 대상으로 하였고, 연구 조건은 일반적인 하천수에서의 오염 조건과 비점오염원으로부터 오염물질이 유입된 오염조건의 두 가지 조건을 가정하여 제거효율을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 모든 조건에서 박층류 수로를 통과할 때 오염물질의 농도가 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 T-P 3 mg/L 이상, T-N 20 mg/L 이상의 고농도의 오염물질 유입시에 박층류 자연정화수로는 평상시보다 높은 60% 이상의 높은 제거 효율을 보였는데, 이를 통하여 박층류 자연정화기법이 고농도의 오염물질 제거에서도 제한적이지 않고 오히려 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

It has been reported that most wastewater treatment plants have difficulties in nitrogen removal during winter season due to declined activity of nitrifiers in the condition of low temperature. This study was conducted in order to find out optimum operating condition for efficient nitrogen removal in low temperature. A series of operating conditions with various HRTs of each tank were simulated using the GPS-X program. The optimum HRT combination for effective nitrogen removal was 0.3 hr/0.5 hr/1.36 hr/4.84 hr(PreAx/An/Ax/Ox) with 51.4% of T-N removal efficiency and 57.3% of $NH_4^+$-N removal efficiency.

In Sequence Batch Reactor (SBR), the removal efficiencies if nutrient materials such as nitrogen and phosphate depend highly on quantity and quality of organic carbon source. Food waste thai contains abundant organic materials has been produced in ship. The applicability if anaerobically fermented if food waste (AFFW) as an external carbon source was examined in the lab-scale SBR process operated at $25^{\circ}C$. With the addition if AFFW increased, average removal efficiencies if $COD_cr$, T-N, T-P changed to $98.5\%,\;95\%,\;93\%$, respectively. Denitrification rate is 0.30g $NO_3-N/g\;VSS{\cdot}day$. In summary, it was suggested tint AFFW sould be used as an economical and effective carbon source for the biological nitrogen and phosphate removal.

The effect of recycling ratio and fixed media on nitrate and phosphate removal was investigated in a pilot-scale wastewater treatment unit using synthetic wastewater. Addition of fixed media increased nitrate removal from 45 to 58% while no noticeable change was observed for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and phosphate removal (<5%). Nitrate removal efficiency also enhanced (Ca 7%) when the influent wastewater flow was doubled (2Q), however phosphate removal was decreased from 40.9 to 26.6% with the increasing recycling rate. The attached biomass analysis showed the presence of bacteria (73.4 $mg/cm^2$) on the surface of added media in anoxic reactor. Pseudomonas aeruginosa a common denitrifying bacterium dominated the bacterial growth (58%) in the anoxic reactor which was determined using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) analysis.

This study was carried out to investigate the removal efficiency of an intermittently aerated nonwoven fabric filter bioreactor fed continuously with domestic sewage. The hydraulic retention time(HRT) of the reactor was reduced from 12 hrs to 10 hrs to 8 hrs during an experimental period of 17 months. In order to search an optimum aeration/nonaeration time ratio for the nitrogen removal at each HRT, the cycle times of 3, 2 and 1 hr were tested at the aeration/nonaeration time ratio of 1. Then, the aeration/nonaeration time ratio was changed from 50 min/70 min to 40 min/80 min to 30 min/90 min at the cycle time of 2 hr which showed the best nitrogen removal. During the experimental period, the effluent SS concentration was always below 1.2 mg/L with more than 95% of BOD removal efficiency. The highest nitrogen removal of 90.1% was observed at the aeration/nonaeration time ratio of 40 min/80 min at the HRT of 10 hr. Oxidation-reduction potential could represent the degree of the nitrification and denitrification reaction in the reactor.

The novel microbial process such as Anammox(anaerobic ammonium oxidation) and Canon(completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite) processes is promising biotechnology to remove nitrogen from ammonium-rich wastewater like anaerobic sludge digester liquid. In this research, a new Canon-type nitrogen removal process adopting upflow granular sludge bed type configuration was investigated on its feasibility and process performance, using synthetic wastewater and sludge digester liquids. Air as an oxygen source was provided in an external aeration chamber with flow recirculation. In the first experiment using the synthetic wastewater(up to 110 mg $NH_4$-N $L^{-1}$), the ammonium removal was about 95%(92% for T-N) at effective hydraulic retention time(HRT) for 3.8 days. In the second experiment using the sludge digester liquids($438{\pm}26$ mg $NH_4$-N $L^{-1}$), the total nitrogen removal was $94{\pm}1.7%$ at HRT for 5.4 days and $76{\pm}1.5%$ at HRT for 3.8 days, respectively. Little nitrite and nitrate were observed in the effluent of both experiments. The process revealed quite a lower oxygen($0.29{\sim}0.59$ g $O_2$ $g^{-1}N$) and less alkalinity($3.1{\sim}3.4$ g $CaCO_3$ $g^{-1}N$) consumption as compared to other new technology in microbial nitrogen removal. The process also offers the economical compact reactor configuration with excellent biomass retention, resulting in lower cost for investment and maintenance.

축산폐수에 대한 방류수 수질기준 항목에 COD의 추가 및 질소와 인의 기준이 강화(1999년)됨에 따라 많은 축산폐수처리시설의 보강과 새로운 기술도입이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 대부분의 공공처리시설에서는 질소 및 인을 제거하기 위하여 2차 처리단계에서 무산소조(탈질조)와 호기성(포기조)를 연계한 생물학적 질소제거를 실시하고, 최종처리단계에서 응집제 투입에 의한 응집ㆍ침전공정후 모래여과 또는 활성탄 흡착공정에 의한 인과 색도제거 하는 등, 생물학적 처리 및 물리ㆍ 화학적 처리시설이 추가적으로 보완ㆍ적용단계에 있다.(중략)

It was investigated whether the removal of nitrogen ions included livestock wastewater were increased by increasing the reaction time of livestock wastewater and microbubbles with catalyst. For this study, the nitrogen reduction system using microbubbles with catalyst was used. The two reactors were consecutively arranged, and the second reactor (Step 2) was located to next the first reactor (Step 1). Each reactor was reacted for 2 hours and air or oxygen as oxidant was fed into the reactor during operation before microbubble device. When oxygen was used, ammonia nitrogen was removed each 18.3% and 52.8% during 2 (only step 1) and 4 (step 1 and step 2) hours reactions. This value was higher than that of when air was fed. When oxygen was used, the longer the reaction time, the ammonia nitrogen removal was higher. The longer the reaction time, the higher the nitrite and nitrate was also removed such as ammonia nitrogen. Also this system was examined whether organic matter removal is effective. The total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) removal was higher than the soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD). Some materials among causing substances COD were difficult to decompose biologically. Therefore, it means that it will be easy to operate the biological processes following step and reduce the concentration of organic contaminants in effluent.

In this study, algae cultivation using the photobioreactor has been applied to remove the nitrogen and phosphorus compounds in the wastewater of the livestock industry. The optimal ratio of nitrate and ortho-phosphate concentration was found for the enhancement of removal efficiency. To achieve the high density culture of algae, the photobioreactor consisted of optical fibers wes developed to get the sufficient light intensity. The light could be illuminated uniformly from light source to the entire reactor by the optical fibers. The structured kinetic model was proposed to describe the growth rate, consumption rate of nitrates and ortho-phosphates in algae culture. The self-organizing fuzzy logic controller incorporated with genetic algorithm was constructed to control the semi-continuous wastewater treatment system. The proposed fuzzy logic controller was applied to maintain the nitrated concentration at the given set-point with the control of wastewater feeding rate. The experimental results showed that the self-organizing fuzzy logic controller could keep the nitrate concentration and enhance algae growth.
