D하수처리장의 송풍량을 효과적으로 조절하는 시스템을 구축하기 위해 2011년 1월 1일부터 2012년 8월 31일까지 포기조 DO 농도를 평균 2.1 mg/L로 유지하면서 유입유량, 유입농도, 유입부하, 수온, F/M비, 생물반응조의 MLSS 농도 변화에 따른 송풍량 변화를 검토하였다. 그 결과 동일한 DO 농도를 유지하기 위한 송풍량 변화폭은 매우 크며, 송풍량 산정을 결정하는 주요 인자는 수온, F/M비, $BOD_5$ 유입 부하, T-N 유입 부하로 나타났다. 그 중 가장 큰 영향을 주는 지표는 수온으로 수온 $1^{\circ}C$ 증가는 $45.8m^3/h$의 송풍량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 계절의 영향이 반영된 것으로 사료 된다. 하절기에는 유입 유량증가, 낮은 MLSS농도, F/M비 증가의 영향과, 동절기에는 유입 유량감소, 높은 MLSS농도, F/M비 감소 등의 영향이 송풍량에 반영되어, 수온 변화에 따른 필요 송풍량 변화를 더욱 가중시킨 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 호기조 송풍량 산정 시에는 유입유량, 유입 $BOD_5$농도, 유입 T-N농도 및 생물반응조의 MLSS농도 중 하나의 인자를 이용하는 것보다, 유입부하나 F/M비로 연산하여 접근이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

So many drinking water treatment plants are under various difficulties by new reinforced effluent standards. Since the target turbidity, much higher than annual average, for designing sludge thickener have to be set to confront high turbidity season, the sludge at thickener should be put up for a long time during usual days. So the soluble manganese and chloroform may be formed under the anaerobic environment in the sludge thickener when the sludge retention time is longer with low turbidity. This phenomenon results in difficulties to keep regulatory level of the discharged effluent. For an effort to overcome the problems, a sludge aeration was successfully implemented into the thickening process. As a result, the final effluent quality and sludge volume were much improved; 41 % of manganese, 62 % of chloroform and 35 % of sludge volume. Additionally, effluent quality was improved ; 61 % of Manganese on aeration with pH control and we could make sure of stability effluent quality despite a long sludge retention time. We recommended the standard of installation sludge aeration equipment to nationally supply water treatment plant under effluent water quality problem ; Manganese, Chloroform, etc.

We investigated the optimal surface aeration rate during bioethanol production from the hydrolysate of seaweed Sargassum sagamianum using Pichia stipitis. It was observed that, when the working volume was 880 mL in 2.5-L lab-fermentor, the surface aeration rates of 30 to 100 mL/min were the optimal values for bioethanol production, in which this surface aeration rate corresponded to less than 0.05 (1/min) as the oxygen transfer rate coefficient ($k_La$). In addition, during repeated-batch operation was carried out, we examined whether those surface aeration rates were the optimal for bioethanol production. It was also observed that the surface aeration rates of 30 to 100 mL/min in the working volume of 880 mL were the optimal values in terms of the cumulative bioethanol producrion and bioethanol yield. On the basis of the oxygen transfer rate coefficient it is probable that those surface aeration rates will be applied to the large-scale bioethanol production from the hydrolysate of seaweed Sargassum sagamianum.

본 연구의 목적은 침지형(YEF 750D-2) 모듈을 적용하여 공기유량에 따른 유체 유속과 간헐적인 세정공기의 공급에 의한 오염제거를 평가하는 것이다. 공기유량에 따라 모듈의 유체 유속은 선형적으로 증가하였으며, MLSS의 농도가 1,000 mg/L 증가할 때 마다 $3\times10^{-4}m{\cdot}min/sec{\cdot}L$의 비율로 유체 유속이 감소하였다. 세정공기의 공급이 정지되는 시간에 전여과가 일어나 흡인여과 시간 동안 겔층 위에 케익층이 형성되었다. 20초 정지와 20초 공기공급의 간헐공기주입으로 형성된 케익층이 역세정에 의하여 제거되면서 압력증가율이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 겔층이 제거되는 메커니즘은 세정 공기공급을 교대로 하여 겔층 위에 케익층을 형성시켜 케익층이 제거될 때 겔층이 함께 제거되는 원리로 설명할 수 있다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of waste cooking oil (WCO) addition on ammonia (NH₃) emissions during the composting of dairy cattle manure under two aeration conditions. Methods: The composting tests were conducted using the laboratory-scale composting apparatuses (14 L of inner volume). Three composting treatments (Control, WCO1.5, and WCO3, with WCO added at 0 wt%, 1.5 wt%, and 3 wt% of manure, respectively) were performed in two composting tests: aeration rate during composting was changed from 0.55 to 0.45 L/min in Test 1, and fixed at 0.3 L/min in Test 2, respectively. The NH₃ emitted and nitrogen losses during the composting were analyzed, and the effect of the addition of WCO on NH₃ emissions were evaluated. Results: Both tests indicated that the composting mixture temperature increased while the weight and water content decreased with increasing WCO content of the composting mixtures. On the other hand, the NH₃ emissions and nitrogen loss trends observed during composting in Tests 1 and 2 were different from each other. In Test 1, NH₃ emissions and nitrogen losses during composting increased with increasing WCO contents of the composting samples. Conversely, in Test 2, they decreased as the WCO contents of the samples increased. Conclusion: The WCO addition showed different effect on NH₃ emissions during composting under two aeration conditions: the increase in WCO addition ratio increased the emissions under the higher aeration rate in Test 1, and it decreased the emissions under the lower aeration rate in Test 2. To obtain reduction of NH₃ emissions by adding WCO with the addition ratio ≤3 wt% of the manure, aeration should be considered.

The swirling flow in the draft tube of a Francis turbine can cause the flow instability and the cavitation surge and has a larger influence on hydraulic power operating system. In this paper, the cavitating flow with swirling flow in the diffuser was studied by the draft tube component experiment, the model Francis turbine experiment and the numerical simulation. In the component experiment, several types of fluctuations were observed, including the cavitation surge and the vortex rope behaviour by the swirling flow. While the cavitation surge and the vortex rope behaviour were suppressed by the aeration into the diffuser, the loss coefficient in the diffuser increased by the aeration. In the model turbine test the aeration decreased the efficiency of the model turbine by several percent. In the numerical simulation, the cavitating flow was studied using Scale-Adaptive Simulation (SAS) with particular emphasis on understanding the unsteady characteristics of the vortex rope structure. The generation and evolution of the vortex rope structures have been investigated throughout the diffuser using the iso-surface of vapor volume fraction. The pressure fluctuation in the diffuser by numerical simulation confirmed the cavitation surge observed in the experiment. Finally, this pressure fluctuation of the cavitation surge was examined and interpreted by CFD.

It is essential to decrease energy consumption and excess sludge to economically operate sewage treatment plant. This becomes more important along with a ban on sea dumping and exhaustion of resource. Therefore, many researchers have been study on energy consumption reduction and strategies for minimization of excess sludge production from the activated sludge process. The aeration cost account for a high proportion of maintenance cost because sufficient air is necessary to keep nitrifying bacteria activity of which the oxygen affinity is inferior to that of heterotrophic bacteria. Also, additional costs are incurred to stabilize excess sludge and decrease the volume of sludge. There were anoxic, aerobic, membrane, deairation and concentration zone in this MBR process. Continuous aeration was provided to prevent membrane fouling in membrane zone and intermittent aeration was provided in aerobic zone through ammonia sensor. So, there was the minimum oxygen to remove $NH_4-N$ below limited quantity that could be eliminated in membrane zone. As the result of this control, energy consumption of aeration system declined by between 10.4 % and 19.1 %. Besides, we could maintain high MLSS concentration in concentration zone and this induced the microorganisms to be in starved condition. Consequentially, the amount of excess sludge decrease by about 15 %.

The dissolved air at the bottom layer of the deep aeration tank transforms into fine gas bubbles within the MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid) floc when exposed to the atmosphere. MLSS floc flotation occurs when MLSS from the deep aeration tank enters the secondary clarifier for solid-liquid separation, as dissolved air becomes fine air within the MLSS floc. The floated MLSS floc causes a high SS (Suspended Solid) concentration in the secondary effluent. The fine air bubbles within the MLSS floc must be removed to achieve stable sedimentation in the secondary clarifier. Fine bubbles within the MLSS floc can be removed by air sparging. The settleability of MLSS was measured by sludge volume indexes (SVIs) after air sparging MLSS taken at the end of the deep aeration tank. MLSS settling tests were performed at MLSS heights of 200, 300, 400, and 500 mm, and compressed air was fed at the bottom of the settling column with air flow rates of 100, 300, and 500 ml/min at each MLSS height, respectively. Also, at each height and air flow rate, air was sparged for 3, 5, and 7 minutes, respectively. SVI was determined for each height, air flow rate, and sparging time, respectively. Experimental results showed that a 300 mm MLSS height, 300 ml/min air flow rate, and 3 minutes of sparging time were the least conditions to achieve less than 120 ml/g of SVI, which was the criterion for good MLSS settling in the secondary clarifier.

This study was performed to examine the effects of chaff as bulking materials on temperature, pH, weight and volume reduction and salinity in aerobic composting of food wastes. Volume ratios of food wastes to chaff in reactor Control, Ch-1, Ch-2, Ch-3 and Ch-4 were 4:0, 4:1, 4:2, 4:3 and 4:4, respectively. Reactors were operated for 24 days with 1 hour stirring by 1 rpm and 2 hours aeration per day. The lowering of the volume ratio of food wastes to chaff resulted in the ascending of the highest reaction temperature and the elongation of the high temperature reaction period. The lowering of the volume ratio of food wastes to chaff resulted in the more fast time of pH ascending. The lowering of the volume ratio of food wastes to chaff resulted in the more fast consistency in the weight and volume reduction rates. Salinities were condensed by reaction days. The final salinity of Control was 2.79%, and the final range of salinities of chaff mixtures was 2.18 - 2.37%.
