The temperature effect at $20^{\circ}$ and $10^{\circ}$ on the nutrient removal efficiency was evaluated in the combined biological nutrient removal system (CBNR) with anaerobic-intermittent aerobic-oxic reactors. The test was conducted under the conditions of various ratios of intermittent aeration time and distribution of influent raw water to CBNR. The removal efficiencies of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus were a little bit better at $20^{\circ}$ than at $10^{\circ}$. However the large difference of temperature effect on the nutrient removal efficiency between $20^{\circ}$ and $10^{\circ}$ was not appeared because of highly sustained MLSS concentrations in the reactors and controlled intermittent aeration time. In the removal of phosphorus, Mode III (50/70 min in aeration on/off time, 3 times of intermittent aeration) showed more effective compared with short aeration time of Mode IV. In case of N, P removal, the denitrification rate was lower in Mode A with splitted inflow into anaerobic and intermittent aeration basins than in Mode B with sole inflow into anaerobic basin.

본 연구에서는 공기주입 방식과 공기주입 시간이 매립지가스 안정화에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 매립지굴착사업 진행시 굴착작업 시간을 판단하고자 실시하였다. 간헐주입의 경우 혐기성에서 호기성으로의 전환되는데 연속주입보다 8배 정도 긴 시간이 소요되어 매립지굴착사업과 같이 혐기성 가스를 빠른 시간 내에 호기성 가스로 치환하여 굴착작업을 수행해야 하는 경우에는 연속주입이 더 적합할 것으로 판단되었다. $0.2m^3/min$ 유량으로 공기를 연속주입한 후 중단하였을 때 공기주입 시간과 호기성 조건($CH_4$ < 5%)이 유지되는 시간과는 비교적 높은 상관도($r^2$ = 0.95)를 나타내고 있었다. 공기주입 시간을 1이라고 볼 때 공기주입 중단 후 호기성은 약 1.5배 정도의 긴 기간 동안 유지되고 있었다.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of air flow rate and aeration mode on the treatment of bioventing for diesel-contaminated soil. Initial concentrations of diesel-contaminated soils were about 2,500 and 9,000mg/kg. Air flow rates were 30, 60, and 100mL/min, and air was injected in the continuous and the intermittent modes. TPH removal efficiency of intermittent aeration mode was higher than that of continuous aeration mode. Greater air flow rate than the value of guidance book was needed for bioventing.

Advanced Phase Isolation Ditch (APID) process was studied to develop economic retrofitting technology, for the plants where retrofitting of common activated sludge process is required. In this study, to develop and apply the modified intermittently aeration mode as process control conditions for treating municipal wastewater, a demonstration plant was installed and operated in the existing sewage treatment plant of P city. During this study, the average effluent $BOD_5$, SS, T-N, and T-P concentrations were 6.3, 4.5, 10.0, and 1.3 mg/L. The modified mode decreased the nitrification capability more than the conventional mode in the application period. Nitrate in the anaerobic condition can have a negative effect on biological phosphorus removal. In the decreasing nitrate levels, the modified mode increased the biological ability of removal phosphorus more than the conventional mode in this study. Therefore, newly developed APID process with modified intermittent aeration mode can be one of the useful processes for stable organic matter and nutrients removal.

The thermophilic aerobic digestion (TAD) process is recognized as an effective method for rapid waste activated sludge (WAS) degradation and the deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. Yet, high energy costs due to heating and aeration have limited the commercialization of economical TAD processes. Previous research on autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) has already reduced the heating cost. However, only a few studies have focused on reducing the aeration cost. Therefore, this study applied a two-step aeration control strategy to a fill-and-draw mode semicontinuous TAD process. The NADH-dependent fluorescence was monitored throughout the TAD experiment, and the aeration rate shifted according to the fluorescence intensity. As a result, the simple two-step aeration control operation achieved a 20.3% reduction in the total aeration, while maintaining an effective and stable operation. It is also expected that more savings can be achieved with a further reduction of the lower aeration rate or multisegmentation of the aeration rate.

This study was carried out to get more operational characteristics of Anoxic(anaerobic)-Oxic-Anoxic-Oxic $(AO)_2$ sequencing batch biofilm reactors (SBBRs) at the low TOC concentration, The operating time in anoxic (anaerobic) time to oxic time was I : I. Experiments were conducted to find the effects of the aeration time distribution on the organic matters and nutrients removal. Three lab-scale reactors were fed with synthetic wastewater based on glucose as carbon source. During studies, the operation mode was fixed. The first aeration time to the second aeration time in SBBR-I was 2 : 3, and those in SBBR-2 and SBBR-3 were I : 4 and 3 : 2, respectively. The organic removal efficiency didn't show large difference among three reactors of different aeration time distribution. However, from these study results, the optimum aeration time distribution in the first and the second aeration time for biological nutrient removal was shown as 3 : 2. The release of phosphorus was inhibited at the second non-aeration period because of the low TOC concentration and the nitrate produced by the nitrification at the first aeration period.

The performance of a newly designed wastewater treatment process equipped with an anaerobic and two intermittent aeration tanks operated alternately was investigated. During the experimental period, several types of cyclic operating schedules with different aeration and non aeration time were examined for the optimization. At all modes, the removals of organic matter and SS were highly achieved. With respect to T-N removal, however, the cycle length for aeration on/off affected the efficiencies. At the optimal operating mode, the ORP bending point indicating the disappearance of nitrate was observed. Considering the influent wastewater characteristics and cyclic operating schedules, it can be suggested that T-P removal is much more BOD/T-P ratio and/or its load dependant rather than the aeration on/off time. The results obtained from pilot-scale test showed the competitive advantage of this alternating process through an omission of nitrate recycle and operational flexibility against influent load variations when comparing with other continuous flow processes.

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.

본 연구는 공기를 주입하여 매립지가스를 치환하고자 할 때 공기공급방법이 매립지가스제거에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 실시하였다. 공기공급방법으로는 공기를 직접 불어넣는 방법과 매립지가스를 추출함으로써 대기중의 공기가 내부로 유입되도록 하는 방법을 사용하였다. 또한 한 주입정에서 공기를 주입하고 동시에 다른 추출정에서 가스를 추출하는 공정도 실시하여 운전모드에 따른 매립지가스 제거 효율을 비교검토하였다. 공기주입 및 가스추출시 유량은 15$\textrm{m}^3$/min으로 동일하였다. 추출모드나 주입/추출모드로 운전하는 것보다 공기주입모드로 운전하는 것이 매립지가스 제거에 가장 효과적이었으며 추출모드는 매립지가스 제거에 가장 적합하지 못하였다. 공기주입과 추출을 동시에 실시하는 경우에도 주입모드에 비하여 매립지가스 제거효율을 크게 향상시키지는 못하였다.

The understanding of the relationship between ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) communities in activated sludge and the operational treatment parameters supports the control of the treatment of ammonia-rich wastewater. The modifications of treatment parameters by alteration of the number and length of aerobic and anaerobic stages in the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) working cycle may influence the efficiency of ammonium oxidation and induce changes in the AOB community. Therefore, in the research, the impact of an SBR cycle mode with alternating aeration/mixing conditions (7 h/1 h vs. 4 h/5.5 h) and volumetric exchange rate (n) on AOB abundance and diversity in activated sludge during the treatment of anaerobic sludge digester supernatant at limited oxygen concentration in the aeration stage (0.7 mg $O_2/l$) was assessed. AOB diversity expressed by the Shannon-Wiener index (H') was determined by the cycle mode. At aeration/mixing stage lengths of 7 h/1 h, H' averaged $2.48{\pm}0.17$, while at 4 h/5.5 h it was $2.35{\pm}0.16$. At the given mode, AOB diversity decreased with increasing n. The cycle mode did not affect AOB abundance; however, a higher AOB abundance in activated sludge was promoted by decreasing the volumetric exchange rate. The sequences clustering with Nitrosospira sp. NpAV revealed the uniqueness of the AOB community and the simultaneously lower ability of adaptation of Nitrosospira sp. to the operational parameters applied in comparison with Nitrosomonas sp.
