본 연구에서는 데이터 마이닝 기법을 사용하여 혐기성 소화조의 효율을 나타내는 지표인 소화가스 발생량 예측 모델 개발을 통해 운영자에게 효율적인 소화조 운영방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 그 결과 오차율 10% 이내의 인공신경망을 적용한 소화가스 발생량 예측 모델을 개발 하였으며, 모델 개발에 사용된 변수를 제시함으로써 소화조 운영에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다. 한편 탈수 케이크 관리 기법을 개발하는데 사례기반추론(Case based reasoning)의 개념을 적용하였다. 사례기반추론은 새로운 문제가 발생했을 경우 과거의 사례와 가장 유사한 사례를 활용하여 문제를 해결에 활용하는 방법으로, 본 연구에서는 슬러지 처리 공정에 사례기반추론개념을 적용시켜 과거의 운전 data를 통해 최소의 운전변경으로 탈수 케이크 감량화를 제시하는 관리방안을 개발하였다.

Objectives of this study were to investigate influencing factors of detention time, particle size distribution, and filter medium characteristics for waterworks sludge dewatering. The stepped pressure filtration was carried out with lab scale apparatus and the filter press pilot test for dewatering was conducted at the water treatment plant. Effects of filter medium and polymer dose were examined through observing water content and dewatering velocity and cyclic dewatering rate with filter press pilot test. Relationships among detention time, particle size distribution and filtration resistance were analyzed. Prolongation of sludge detention time was found to cause blinding phenomenon in cake and filter medium and to decrease dewatering process efficiency. The average specific resistance increased according to detention time. In pilot test of dewatering for thickened sludge with Nylon Multi-NY840D and Nylon Mono-100% filter media, dewatering velocities were 0.92 and $0.93kg\;DS/m^2{\cdot}hr$ according to 0.1% polymer dose of dried solids weight base. And cyclic dewatering rates were 2.45 and $2.50kg\;DS/m^2{\cdot}cycle$ cycle for the Nylon Multi-NY840D and Nylon Mono-100% media. Dewatering velocity of polymer dosed sludge was observed to be higher than that of non-polymer sludge.

Application of electrodewatering (EDW) to mechanical dewatering system was studied to decrease water content in the sludge generated from waste water treatment process. Experiments realized the reduction of water content in the sewage sludge. EDW enhancing the conventional filtration by an electric field is an emerging technology with the potential to improve dewatering. In this study, a piston filter press was constructed, the digested sludges were dewatered by EDW under conditions of DC electric field and constant pressure in the piston filter press. Constant electric field from $0{\sim}120\;V/cm$ and constant pressure $98.1{\sim}392.4\;kPa$ were used. The results showed that as electric field was increased the dewatering rates increased and as pressure was increased the dewatering rates decreased. Also as polymer was added the dewatering rates increased. This experiments produced final sludge cake with water content of 60 wt% using EDW, compared with 80 wt% using pressure filtration alone.

This study evaluated the dewatering efficiency of inorganic dehydrating agents that contain oyster shells. A filter press dehydrator was used for this study. The experiments were performed by the single injection of calcium-based chemicals, the single injection of oyster shells, and the mixed injection of oyster shells and calcium-based chemicals. The moisture content of the dewatered cake generated after dehydration confirmed that the best dewatering efficiency was found at the mixing ratios of CaCO₃ to sludge, oyster shell to sludge, and inorganic dehydrating agent to sludge of 3:1, 10:1, and 1.5:2.5:1, respectively. The moisture contents exhibited less than 58% when the injection mixing ratio of inorganic dehydrating agent to sludge was 1.5:2.5:1. From EPS, SEM, and EDX analysis, it was found that the calcium adsorbed on the sludge surface could reduce extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and enhanced the dewaterbility. Based on the above results, it is considered possible to apply inorganic dehydrating agents containing recycled oyster shells in sludge dewatering in order to reduce sludge.

This study is to develop the pretreatment for the excess and digested sludge by electro-coagulation and dewatering. Electrocoagulation is applied to excess and digested sludge before transferring to the piston type press for dewatering. Piston type filter press as a laboratory scale plant was used to estimate the dewaterability. MMD of excess sludge was increased from initial diameter of particles(34.16 ${\mu}m$) to the 87%(64.01 ${\mu}m$) after electrocoagulation. AI electrode is more effective than Fe electrode for the dewaterability of excess sludge. Electrodewatering after electrocoagulation as pretreatment makes the water content of sludge cake $50{\sim}60$ wt%.

Three types of sludges including printing paper, newsprint and tissue paper were prepared at 5% concentration for filtration-expression operations. Filtration-expression characteristics of sludge were measured in different pressure and wastepaper powder dosage. Specific filtration resistance and porosity were calculated with theoretical formula. Higher pressure increased the progresses of filtration and expression while it decreased porosity. The addition of 5% wastepaper powder more accelerated the progresses of filtration and expression than that of 10% wastepaper powder. The lowest porosity value was also measured at 5% dosage of wastepaper powder. The decrease of porosity implied the decrease of moisture content in cake. The results indicated that dewatering of sludge was efficient in high pressure and 5% dosage of wastepaper powder.

Although the specific resistance to filtration is the most frequently employed means for characterizing dewaterability of a sludge, it presently is not possible to design nor to prediet performance of dewatering facilities using traditional linearized parabolic filtration equation, that is, the specific resistance model because of theoretical and practical inadequacies of the concept. Limitations of the specific resistance model reflect the need to examine fundamental sludge properties and filtration behaviors affecting dewaterability. From this study, two major limitations of the specific resistance model were noted. First, specific resistance values are very dependent on the sludge concentration because of the variations of particle size distribution and cake clogging to occur when surface area mean diameter is less than $25{\mu}m$ for activated sludge, $18{\mu}m$ for water treatment plant sludge. Second, nonparabolic filtration behavior can result from cake clogging, caused by the migration of fine particles into the cake pores, accelated by skin effect with highly compressible sludges.

불가사리와 조개껍질의 폐 수산자원을 개량제로 이용한 도시하수 슬러지의 탈수능 향상 연구를 수행하였다. 불가사리와 조개껍질을 105∼$700^{\circ}C$로 열처리하여 사용하였으며, 탈수방법으로는 원심분리와 벨트프레스를 사용하였다. 총 고형물 기준으로 개량제를 1∼8g/100mL 주입하여 탈수 후 슬러지 케익의 함수율을 15∼22% 저감시키는 결과를 얻었다. 개량제 주입 후 슬러지의 탈수 특성을 평가하기 위하여 CST(Capillary Suction Time)를 측정하였다. 불가사리 첨가 후 CST는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 조개껍질 첨가 후 CST는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 조개껍질이 불가사리보다 탈수 효율이 나은 결과를 보였으며, 열처리 온도에 대한 효과는 무시할 수 있을 정도로 적게 나타났다.

A laboratory-scale electrodewatering system for enhancing conventional filter pressure dewatering by an electric field has been developed to decrease the water content of sludge generated in the wastewater treatment. It consists of a piston-typed filter press, a power supply and data acquisition system. The offset of electrodewatering is investigated as a function of applied pressure, applied voltage, sludge type and filtration time. Also the optimal conditions for maximizing the dewatering efficiency in the eletrodewatering system are investigated. Electric field strength and mechanical pressure are in the range of from 0 to 120 V/cm and from 98.1 to 392.4 kPa. The dewatering rates increased with increasing electric strength. These experiments produced a final sludge cake with water content of 60 wt% using electrodewatering technology, compared with a 80 wt% using pressure filtration alone. The conventional filtration system using the electrodewatering shows the potential to be effective method for improving dewatering Sludge.
