This study was implemented to find an optimal model for wastewater treatment processes using PHOENICS(Parabolic, hyperbolic or Elliptic Numerical Integration Code Series) and ASM(Activated Sludge Model). PHOENICS is a general software based upon the laws of physics and chemistry which govern the motion of fluids, the stresses and strains in solids, heat flow, diffusion, and chemical reaction. The wastewater flow and removal efficiency of particle in two phase system of a grit chamber in wastewater treatment plant were analyzed to inquire the predictive aspect of the operational model. ASM was developed for a biokinetic model based upon material balance in complex activated sludge systems, which can demonstrate dynamic and spatial behavior of biological treatment system. This model was applied to aeration tank and settling chamber in Choonchun city, and the modeling result shows dynamic transport in aeration tank. PHOENCS and ASM could be contributed for the optimal operation of wastewater treatment plant.

동시 질산화 탈질은 낮은 DO 농도로 유지되는 동일한 반응조에서 질산화 반응과 탈질 반응이 동시에 발생함을 의미한다. 동시 질산화 탈질 반응을 모사할 수 있는 몇몇 수학적 모델들이 개발되었지만, 모델 구조가 복잡하거나 모델을 적용하기 위한 다양한 제반 지식을 얻어야만 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있어 범용적인 모델 적용에 한계점이 있는 단점이 있었다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해, 동시 질산화 탈질 반응이 반응기 내 DO 농도의 부분적 부재로 발생한다는 가정 하에, 만약 활성슬러지모델을 사용하여 동시 질산화 탈질 반응의 거동을 해석할 수 있다면, 모델의 구조가 다른 개발된 모델들보다 복잡하지 않고, 다양한 운전 조건에서 모델이 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다. 하지만 기존의 활성슬러지 모델로는 호기 조건에서 발생하는 탈질 반응을 표현하기 어려운 점이 있기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 활성슬러지 모델을 수정함으로써 동시 질산화 탈질 반응을 해석하고자 하였다. 활성슬러지 모델 No.1(ASM1)이 선택이 되어 탈질 반응식이 수정되었으며, 수정된 ASM1의 시뮬레이션 결과는 측정값의 거동을 잘 모사하였다. 이를 통해 수정된 ASM1은 실험 결과에 기반하여 구한 ${\eta}_g$의 값과 호기 조건에서의 탈질 반응을 모사하기 위해 수정된 Monod 식의 영향으로 모델의 구조가 본 연구의 실험 결과에서 확인된 동시 질산화 탈질 반응을 해석할 수 있도록 구성되었다고 사료된다.

Many modeling and calibration methods have been developed to analyze and design the biological wastewater treatment process. For the systematic use of activated sludge model (ASM) in a real treatment process, a most important step in this usage is a calibration which can find a key parameter set of ASM, which depends on the microorganism communities and the process conditions of the plants. In this paper, a standardized calibration protocol of the ASM model is developed. First, a weighted effluent quality index(WEQI) is suggested far a calibration protocol. Second, the most sensitive parameter set is determined by a sensitive analysis based on WEQI and then a parameter optimization method are used for a systematic calibration of key parameters. The proposed method is applied to a calibration problems of the single carbon removal process. The results of the sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation based on a WEQI shows a quite reasonable parameter set and precisely estimated parameters, which can improve the quality and the efficiency of the modeling and the prediction of ASM model. Moreover, it can be used for a calibration scheme of other biological processes, such as sequence batch reactor, anaerobic digestion process with a dedicated methodology.

In this work, the presence of nitrification biochemical oxygen demand (NBOD) frequently occurred in the sewer outflow in winter season was analysed by the COD fraction methods using the respirometry and process simulations with real operation data measurements and analysis. The activated sludge models applied in this process simulation were based on the ASM No.2d temp. models, published by International Association on Water Quality (IAWQ). The ASM No.2d model is an extension of the ASM No.2 model and takes into account of carbon removal, nitrification, denitrification and phosphorus removal. The denitrifying capacity of phosphorus accumulating organisms has been implemented in the ASM No.2d model because experimental evidence shows that some of the phosphorus accumulating organisms can denitrify. It was shown that the concentrations of autotrophs (X_AUT) in the secondary clarifier and the $NH_4-N$ of T-N increased in the presence of NBOD measurements. Because of the low temperature (average $8^{\circ}C$) and possible operational troubles, the outcoming autotrophs exhausted oxygen in the process of nitrifying $NH_4-N$.

Based on the activated sludge model(ASM), a mathematical model which represents the aerobic sludge digestion by sequencing batch reactor(SBR) combined with ultrasonic treatment was composed and performed in this study. Aerobic digestion using sequencing batch reactor(SBR) equipped with ultrasound treatment was also experimented for the purpose of parameter calibration. Most of the presented kinetic parameters in ASM or ASM2 could be used for the aerobic digestion of sludge but the parameters related in hydrolysis and decay rate needed modification. Hydrolysis rate constant of organic matter in aerobic condition was estimated at $0.3day^{-1}$ and the maximum growth rate for autotrophs in aerobic condition was $0.618day^{-1}$. Solubilization reactions of particulate organics and nitrogen by ultrasonication was added in this kinetic model. The solubilization rate is considered to be proportional to the specific energy which is defined by specific ultrasound power and sonication time. The solubilization rate constant by ultrasonication was estimated at $0.202(W/L)^{-1}day^{-1}$ in this study. Autotrophs as well as heterotrophs also decomposed by ultrasonic treatment and the nitrification reaction was limited by the lack of autotrophs accumulation in the digester.

ASM No. 2(Activated sludge model No. 2) is very useful model to analyze the wastewater treatment which removes nitrogen and phosphorus. But, it is difficult to apply ASM No. 2 to control of wastewater treatment since it has 17 material divisions and 46 parameters. So the purpose of this study was the simplification of ASM No. 2 and the provement of simplification model. Firstly ASM No. 2 was simplified with 5 material division and three phases(Anaerobic, aerobic, anoxic phases). The simplified model was proved by R-square using track study data. As a result of provement, the values of R-square in ${NH_4}^+$ were 0.9815 in ASM No. 2 and 0.9250 in simplified model and in ${NO_3}^-$ were 0.8679 in ASM No. 2 and 0.7914 in simplified model and in ${PO_4}^{3-}$ are 0.9745 in ASM No. 2 and 0.9187 in the simplified model when the ability to express the material variation was compared by R-square. So, the simplified model has enough ability to express the variation of ${NH_4}^+$, ${NO_3}^-$ and ${PO_4}^{3-}$.

최근, 활성 슬러지 공법에 대한 수학적 모델링은 폐수처리장의 설계와 운영에 있어서 매우 중요한 인자로 인식되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, BNR 공정에서 미생물의 성장 및 호흡과 관련한 내 외부 기질의 이용 경로에 관한 정보는 여전히 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 ASM No.3와 비교되는 새로운 개념의 활성슬러지 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 미생물의 단계별 성장이론에 근거한 이 모텔의 구조는 호기성 저장, 내부저장물질(ISCs; Intercellular Storage Compounds)과 외부기질 활용에 따른 미생물의 성장, 내생호흡과 내부저장물질을 이용한 호기성 호흡 등 5 단계로 구성되어 있다. 단계적 성장모델에 기초한 예측결과는 산소이용율(OUR)과 TCOD에 의한 실험결과에 있어 ASM No.3의 결과보다 더욱 일치함을 나타냈다.

In Activated Sludge Model, COD fraction of primary settled municipal wastewater was a very important parameter. In this study, the COD fraction was determined using the oxygen utilization rate experiments. Readily biodegradable COD ($S_S$) fraction was observed about 29.7% of influent TCOD. $S_I$, $X_I$, and $X_S$ were analyzed to be 7.6%, 7.3%, and 55.4% of TCOD, respectively. The model used in this study was developed based on ASM3 and modified Bio-P module in order to simulate the existing BNR process. Parameter estimation results showed that $Y_{STO,O2}$, $Y_{STO,NO}$, $Y_{H,O2}$, $Y_{H,NO}$, $Y_{PO4}$, ${\mu}_H$, $b_H$, ${\mu}_A$, $q_{PHA}$, $q_{PP}$ and ${\mu}_{PAO}$ were 0.7, 0.64, 0.61, 0.48, 0.31, 3.9, 0.1, 1.35, 4.98, 1.8 and 0.59, respectively. Using the presented model and the estimated parameters, the simulation of the existing BNR process was successfully conducted.

Process modeling with activated sludge models (ASMs) is useful for the design and operational improvement of biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes. Effective utilization of ASMs requires the influent fraction analysis (IFA) of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). However, this is difficult due to the time and cost involved in the design and operation steps, thereby declining the simulation reliability. Harmony Search (HS) algorithm was utilized herein to determine the relationships between composite variables and state variables of the model IWA ASM1. Influent fraction analysis was used in estimating fractions of the state variables of the WWTP influent and its application to 9 wastewater treatment processes in South Korea. The results of influent $S_s$ and $Xs+X_{BH}$, which are the most sensitive variables for design of activated sludge process, are estimated within the error ranges of 8.9-14.2% and 3.8-6.4%, respectively. Utilizing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) fraction analysis for influent wastewater, it was possible to predict the concentrations of treated organic matter and nitrogen in 9 full scale BNR processes with high accuracy. In addition, the results of daily influent fraction analysis (D-IFA) method were superior to those of the constant influent fraction analysis (C-IFA) method.

본 연구는 생물학적 폐수 처리 공정인 연속 회분식 반응기(sequencing batch reactor, SBR)에서 질소 제거 최적화를 위해 활성 오니 공정모델(activated sludge model, ASM No.1, ASM1)과 반복 동적 프로그래밍(iterative dynamic programming, IDP)을 이용하여 SBR의 처리 기준을 만족하면서 최적 운전 조건을 탐색하고 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연속 회분식 반응기의 최적화를 위해 에너지 최소화와 최소 회분 시간이 질소 처리의 농도 그래프의 면적과 비례하는 점을 이용하여 이를 고려한 새로운 performance index를 제안하였다. 회분 시간과 에너지에 대항하는 면적에 적절한 비중(weight)을 줌으로써 최소 회분 시간과 최소 에너지 문제를 동시에 고려하였다. SBR에서 IDP를 이용한 최적 운전서 최적 용존 산소 농도의 설정치가 전체 회분 시간과 전체 에너지 비용에 동시에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었고 최적 운전시 기존의 운전 방법과 같은 유기물과 질소 제거가 가능하고 동시에 전체 비용을 20％까지 줄일 수 있었다. 더 나아가 공정이상으로 실제 공정이 모델과 다른 모델링 에러에 의해 잘못된 모사의 경우에도 IDP를 이용하여 다시 재최적화할 수 있음을 보였다.
