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 %.

Laboratory scale experiments were conducted to compare the performance of two types of sequencing batch reactor(SBR) systems, anoxic-oxic-anoxic-oxic $((AO)_2)$ SBR and anoxic-oxic-anoxic $(A_2O)$ SBR on the biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Also, the profiles of DO and pH in reactors were used to monitor the biological nutrient removal in two SBRs. The break point in the pH and DO curves at the oxic period coincided with the end of nitrifying activity at about 1 h 30 min in oxic phase, and the change in pH appears to be related to nitrate concentration. The TOC removal efficiency in $A_2O$ SBR was higher than that in $(AO)_2$ SBR. The denitrification was completed at the influent period. The 2nd non-aeration and aeration periods were not necessary for the nitrogen and phosphorus removal because of the low influent TOC concentration in this study. The release and uptake of phosphorus in $AO_2$ SBR was much higher than that in $(AO)_2SBR.$ In order to uptake more phosphorus, the 1st aeration period in $A_2O$ SBR should be prolonged.

기존의 토양상 및 퇴비상을 이용한 악취제거가 주로 흡착에 의존한 나머지 탈취상이 쉽게 탈취능의 한계에 이른다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 미생물 활성 탈취상의 조건인 높은 유기물함량, 보수성, 통기성 및 낮은 정압 등을 고르게 갖추고 있는 토탄에 활성슬러지를 식종하여 분뇨처리장, 하수처리장 등에서 발생빈도 및 취기강도가 큰 무기성악취 중 암모니아의 제거실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 자연 토탄상에서는 암모니아의 토탄수분에 의한 이온화에 따라서 pH가 상승하여 암모니아의 자연 유출 현상이 관찰되었다. 암모니아 제거 기작은 주로 음이론 콜로이드에 의한 흡착에 의존하였다. 미생물 활성 토탄상에서는 미생물 활동에 따른 pH의 완만한 상승으로 이론적 암모늄 이온의 비율이 자연토탄상보다 높았으나, 실제로 토탄상에 축적된 암모니아성 질소의 값은 질산균의 질산화에 의해 자연 토탄상보다 적었다. 암모니아의 제거기작은 반응조 운영 초기에는 흡착이 우세하였으며, 중반이후에는 질산화가 두드러졌다. 실험으로 얻은 암모니아 유입부하량, 암모니아 유출부하량, $NH_4{^+}$-N, $NO_x$-N, Org-N을 이용하여 질소에 대한 물질수지(Mass Balance)를 산정하고, 실험결과로 얻은 미생물 활성 탈취상의 최대 활성 시점인 비정상상태의 임계시간과 회귀분석에 의해 구한 암모니아의 흡착곡선을 이용하여 미생물 활성 토탄상에서 흡착능 포화의 연장시간을 산정하였다.
