The urban expansion and the modernization of the urban infrastructure need a new technology to manage the facilities. The sewer management, one of the urban infrastructures, requires geographical information systems(GIS) for this purpose, and can be supported by the expert system. Consequently, non-professionals can use this system conveniently. In this study, the search and retrieving capacity of the relational database management system(DBMS) and the chain topology generator of the vector-based GIS were integrated into the sewer management system together with the expert knowledge. This system can predict the sewer volume charge by the simulation, and automate these procedures. This system is also user-friendly by using the user-interface. Finally, the system was applied to one of the Seoul drainage districts and tested.

하수관거는 국민의 정맥이라고 할 수 있을 정도로 도시의 환경관리와 치수, 쾌적한 환경조성에 있어서 매우 중요한 시설이며 그 규모가 광범위하고 복잡한 네트워크로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 하수관망을 통해 이송되는 물은 지저분하고 냄새가 심하기 때문에 지하에 관의 형태로 대부분 시공되어 왔으며, 상수관망처럼 압력관이 아니라 대부분 중력에 의한 이송방식을 채택하고 있어 문제 발생 시 원인파악과 대처를 힘들게 하는 요인을 가지고 있다. 특히 하수관거의 관리 소홀은 곧바로 토양오염과 인근 환경오염으로 직결되며 장기적으로는 상수를 오염시키는 요인으로 작용하므로 체계적인 방법과 장기적인 안목을 가지고 명확한 분석을 시행할 수 있는 시스템을 가지고 최적으로 유지관리 되어야 한다. 최근 들어 이러한 하수도 시설을 효율적으로 관리 및 개선하기 위해 대도시를 중심으로 근거 조사와 정비 사업이 활발히 시행되고 있다. 그러나, 사업효과를 검증하거나 관로의 유지관리를 위하여 국내 실정에 맞지 않는 외국하수관망 흐름 해석 프로그램을 그대로 사용하고 있고 정확한 해석이 이루어지지 않고 있어 효율적인 유지관리가 어렵다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 하수관망해석이나 하수관망 정비시 필요한 불명수산정이 가능하고 국내실정에 맞는 프로그램 개발이 시급한 실정이며, 아울러 프로그램을 효율적 운영하고 관리하는 제어관리 기술을 개발, 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 개발된 프로그램의 부정류 해석 기능을 활용하여 대상구역의 해석을 실시하여 기존분석방법의 I/I결과와 비교하였으며 최적관리를 위한 방안을 제시하였다.준편차가 증가하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상용 CFD모형인 FLOW-3D를 계획 중인 하수처리장의 침전지 유입부 설계에 적용하였으며 저류벽의 위치와 폭, 유공정류벽의 유공율에 따른 유입하수의 분배효과를 분석하였다. 실험을 수행하여 보다 정밀한 공식으로 개선할 수 있었다.$10,924m^3/s$ 및 $10,075m^3/s$로서 실험 I의 $2,757m^3/s$에 비해 통수능이 많이 개선되었음을 알 수 있다.함을 알 수 있다. 상수관로 설계 기준에서는 관로내 수압을 $1.5\~4.0kg/cm^2$으로 나타내고 있는데 $6kg/cm^2$보다 과수압을 나타내는 경우가 $100\%$로 밸브를 개방하였을 때보다 $60\%,\;80\%$ 개방하였을 때가 더 빈번히 발생하고 있으므로 대상지역의 밸브 개폐는 $100\%$ 개방하는 것이 선계기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐에 따른 수압 변화를 모의한 결과 밸브 개폐도를 적절히 유지하여 필요수량의 확보 및 누수방지대책에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.8R(mm)(r^2=0.84)$로 지수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유거수량은 토성별로 양토를 1.0으로 기준할 때 사양토가 0.86으로 가장 작았고, 식양토 1.09, 식토 1.15로 평가되어 침투수에 비해 토성별 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 토성이 세립질일 수록 유거수의 저항이 작기 때문으로 생각된다. 경사에 따라서는

Most of the sewage sludge is organic waste containing a large amount of organic substances decomposable by microorganisms by biological treatment. As for existing sewage sludge treatment methods, reduction and fuel conversion are being carried out using technologies such as drying, incineration, torrefaction, carbonization. However, the disadvantage of high energy consumption has been pointed out as latent heat of 539 kcal/kg is consumed based on drying. Therefore, in this study, we intend to produce solid fuel through hydrothermal carbonization(HTC), which is a thermochemical treatment. To evaluate the value of solid fuel, the characteristics of carbonization and fuel ratio were analyzed. As a result, as the hydrothermal carbonization reaction temperature increased, the lower heating value also increased by about 500 kcal/kg due to the increase in the degree of carbonization. H/C, O/C, ratio showed a decreasing trend from 1.78, 0.46 to 1.57, 0.32. When the ratio of ash to combustible content (fixed carbon + volatile) of dry sludge was 0.25 or more, it was derived that the degree of carbonization and calorific value did not increase even when hydrothermal carbonization was performed.

As water quality regulations have tightened, many studies to improve wastewater treatment efficiency have been performed. In this study, magnetite powder was used to maintain a high concentration of MLSS in lab-scale wastewater treatment system. After magnetite powder injection, MLSS concentration was above 8,000 mg/L and it was 3.2 times higher than control group(2,500 mg/L). In addition, nitrogen removal efficiency and phosphorus removal efficiency comparing with the control group was increased 20.5% and 11%, respectively.

A pilot study was performed from September 2000 to April 2004 to examine the feasibility of the wetland-pond system for the agricultural reuse of reclaimed water. The wetland system was a subsurface flow type, with a hydraulic residence time of 3.5 days, and the subsequent pond was 8 $m^3$ in volume (2 m ${\times}$ 2 m ${\times}$ 2 m) and operated with intermittent-discharge and continuous flow types. The wetland system was effective in treating the sewage; median removal efficiencies of $BOD_5$ and TSS were above 70.0%, with mean effluent concentrations of 27.1 and 16.8 mg $L^{-1}$, respectively, for these constituents. However, they did often exceed the effluent water quality standards of 20 mg $L^{-1}$. Removal of T-N and T-P was relatively less effective and mean effluent concentrations were approximately 103.2 and 7.2 mg $L^{-1}$, respectively. The wetland system demonstrated high removal rate (92 ${\sim}$ 90%) of microorganisms, but effluent concentrations were in the range of 300 ${\sim}$ 16,000 MPN 100 $mL^{-1}$ which is still high for agricultural reuse. The subsequent pond system provided further treatment of the wetland effluent, and especially additional microorganisms removal in addition to wetland-pond system could reduce the mean concentration to 1,000 MPN 100 $mL^{-1}$ from about $10^5$ MPN 100 $mL^{-1}$ of wetland influent. Other parameters in the pond system showed seasonal variation, and the upper layer of the pond water column became remarkably clear immediately after ice melt. Overall, the wetland system was found to be adequate for treating sewage with stable removal efficiency, and the subsequent pond was effective for further polishing. This study concerned agricultural reuse of reclaimed water using natural systems. Considering stable performance and effective removal of bacterial indicators as well as other water quality parameters, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, wetland- pond system was thought to be an effective and feasible alternative for agricultural reuse of reclaimed water in rural area.

Present condition of the Youngsan River pollution is serious. Concentrations of organic materials and nutrients are high and algal bloom takes place frequently. The pollution is mainly caused by domestic wastewater input from urban areas like Kwangju and Naju City. In this study, 6 times of water quality surveys were done for mainstream and tributaries. Delivery ratios of each tributaries are calculated with the water quality and flow data. With Arc/View GIS, sub-basin are divided and pollution loads are estimated. These data are used for water quality modeling. River quality improvement effects are analysed with 5 scenarios including process upgrade of present WWTPs and construction of new WWTPs. These scenarios are applied for the Youngsan River based on the 7Q10 and Q275. And total wastewater treatment cost in the basin is analysed for each scenario.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are obligated to reduce carbon emissions as a part of public sector greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets. However, Sewage Statistics(2022) shows that CO₂ emissions per wastewater treatment volumes have decreased by only 3.03 % compared to 2020, which is far from enough to meet the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets. This study aimed to find operational conditions of biological reactors that minimize total carbon footprint (CFP). Total CFP considers both direct emissions from biological processes and indirect emissions from energy consumption. A study was conducted using a computer simulation program which is called as EQPS for a 4-stage BNR WWTP. The results showed that total CFP was reduced by 10.97% compared to the design condition when the mixed liquor recirculation (MLR) was set to 100 % of the influent flow. The N₂O emission factor (EF) of the target WWTP was calculated to be 0.138-0.199 %, which is significantly lower than the IPCC default value of 1.6 %. This study proposes a method to minimize total CFP in WWTPs by optimizing biological reactor operation and emphasizes the need for further research on N₂O emission reduction.

This reserch was focused upon experimental study for wastewater reuse and conducted to evaluate optimum operating conditions of rapid filtration process such as filter flow rate, filtration time and backwashing condition for reuse of secondary-treated effluent using the pilot plant installed in real wastewater treatment plant. Also, the experiment on treatment char-acteristics of coagulant-added activated sludge process was performed to compare with activated sludge succeeded to rapid filtration. As the filtration velocity was 100m/day, the filtration time of the rapid filter connected with activated sludge system was revealed to 40 hours. Backwashing of filter was conducted by water wash and air scour. The optimum backwashing time and backwash flow rate were 10min and 10LPM, respectively. The quantity of backwashing water of the rapid filter was about 2% of total treated water.

2050년까지 탄소중립 사회구현을 위한 방안을 모색하기 위한 논의가 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 이에 수소도시 실현을 통한 화석연료와 탄소배출을 줄이는 방법들이 주목받고 있다. 그린수소가스의 생산 및 운송, 저장과 가스형태의 수소를 액화 수소로 압축시키는데 드는 막대한 에너지가 소비되는 문제점에 대한 대안책으로 암모니아를 캐리어로 이용하여 운송 및 저장하고 수소를 생산하는 방식이 널리 이용되고 있으며, 효율 향상을 위한 추가 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 또한, 중국에 대한 우리나라의 요소수 수입 의존도가 높음에 따라 요소수 주요성분인 암모니아와 탄산가스를 합성한 요소수 생산 방식에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 현재 산업계에서 석탄과 같은 석유자원에서부터 암모니아를 추출하는 방식이 가장 널리 적용되고 있다. 이와 같은 암모니아 생산에 대한 석유자원 의존도를 낮추기 위한 방안에 대한 도출 및 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 이와 같은 상황에 맞춰 본 연구에서는 생활하수로부터 암모니아를 추출하는 방법으로서 통합형 막증류 시스템에 연구하고자 한다. 분뇨, 음식물 폐기물 침출수 등 유기성 폐기물의 수집, 운송 및 처리에서 발생되는 생활하수에는 암모니아성 질소 및 탄소가 다량 포함되어 있어 이를 추출하여 순수한 암모니아 생산에 대해 석유자원을 대체할 수 있는 대안으로서의 효용성을 갖고 있다. 하지만, 이와같은 생활하수는 암모니아성 질소 이외 성분들이 고농도로 포함되어 있어 암모니아 생산에 대한 원료만을 선택적으로 분리하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 생활하수에서 암모니아를 선택적으로 분리하는 방법으로서 막증류(Membrane Distillation, MD) 기반의 통합 암모니아 분리기술을 개발하고 이에 대한 적용 가능성과 효율 향상에 대해 평가 하였다. 또한, 암모니아와 탄산가스 합성을 통한 요소수 생산 방법에 대한 연구를 진행하였다.
