In India, the current operation of condenser cooling system & effluent disposal system in existing power plants aims to reduce drawal of seawater and to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge to meet the demands of statutory requirements, water scarcity and ecological system. Particularly in the Steam-Electric power plants, condenser cooling system adopts Once through cooling (OTC) system which requires more drawal of seawater and effluent disposal system adopts sea outfall system which discharges hot water into sea. This paper presents an overview of closed-loop technology for condenser cooling system and to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge plant in Steam-Electric power plants making it lesser drawal of seawater and complete elimination of hot water discharges into sea. The closed-loop technology for condenser cooling system reduces the drawal of seawater by 92% and Zero Liquid Discharge plant eliminates the hot water discharges into sea by 100%. Further, the proposed modification generates revenue out of selling potable water and ZLD free flowing solids at INR 81,97,20,000 per annum (considering INR 60/Cu.m, 330 days/year and 90% availability) and INR 23,760 per annum (considering INR 100/Ton, 330 days/year and 90% availability) respectively. This proposed modification costs INR 870,00,00,000 with payback period of less than 11 years. The conventional technology can be replaced with this proposed technique in the existing and upcoming power plants.

국내의 경우 전국적으로 관거의 신설보다는 기존에 매설되어있는 관거의 노후에 따른 개량에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있으나, 그에 따른 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 국내ㆍ외에서는 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 개량시기를 결정하는 연구 예가 있으나, 이러한 연구에서 개량시기를 결정하는 요소들이 매우 단순하여 관거의 노후에 따른 복합적인 의사결정이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 관거별 통수능력 및 불명수 발생량을 산정하여 배수분구내 토구별 최적 개량 우선순위를 결정하는 한편, 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적개량비용을 산정하는 최적개량 의사결정 시스템을 개발하였다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the variation characteristics of influent and effluent quality from sewage treatment facilities using activated sludge processes and to assess the impact caused by discharge of treated sewage on the receiving water Monthly data of five water quality items (BOD, COD, SS, T-N, T-P) were used to understand the water quality at three sewage treatment plants in Seoul for five years from 1999 to 2003. Concentration differences of water quality parameters were observed between upstream and downstream site at the sewage treatment plant outfall to investigate the impact of discharge in Tan stream and Han river basin. 1. Due to the effect of continuous improvement in sewer system, the concentrations of influent went on increasing generally. 2. Effluent concentrations of BOD, COD and SS showed the trend of a little decreasing, but the trend of increasing in T-N and T-P. 3. In Tan stream basin, the impact of sewage treatment plant discharge was not observed directly, because concentration of discharge was lower than stream water's. But discharges from sewage treatment plants affected water quality at downstream site in Han river, concentration of T-P especially.

지리 정보시스템(Geographical Information System)을 이용하여 도심지 Non Pount Source오염 물질의 양이 오염원 종류별로 확인되고 적절하한 오염감소를 위한 대책이 마련되었다. 경험에 의한 공해물질 예측모델을 운용하기 위한 모든 입력 자료들이 도심지의 거리 구획별(Street block)별로 제공되어 각 거리 구획별 오염량이 계산되었다. 계산된 오염량은 각 우수 배출구별로 합산되어 오염량이 많은 지역이 판명되었다. 또한 오염량을 줄이기 위하여 인공호수를 만들기 위한 적지분석이 수행되었으며, 그에 따른 비용분석이 이루어졌다. 본 연구는 지형정보시스템의 도심지 공해연구에의 기여도를 입증시켜 주었다.

Enrichment in nutrients coming from urban sewage outfalls can lead to eutrophication in coastal areas, which can also change the species composition and community structure of macro algal communities. We investigated the structure of the macro algal community within three rocky shores in order to assess any possible differences in their characteristics. Site 1 was located near Tongyeong city's sewage outfall, Site 2 was located near a public beach area, and Site 3 faced open channel of the Ocean. All three sites were located within the same stretch of the coast, where Site 2 was located between sites 1 and 3. We measured the nutrient concentration in water and the tissue nitrogen content in macro algae samples. Nutrients in the water column surrounding site 1 were high in ammonium ($30.2\pm1.8{\mu}M$), nitrate ($26.2{\pm}0.1{\mu}M$), and phosphate ($2.7{\pm}0.1{\mu}M$) content, and were characterized by low numbers of macroalgal species and species and a low species diversity index. In contrast, site 3 exhibited relatively low nutrient concentration levels and a high number of macroalgal species and a high species diversity index. Comparative analysis showed that the tissue nitrogen content of macroalgae were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the nutrient concentration in the water column. The tissue nitrogen content of green algae within site 1 was higher than the others sites. However, the tissue nitrogen content of brown algae was similar at all three sites. Thus, the tissue nitrogen content of macro algae and the macro algal community structure of intertidal rocky shores were dependent on location and the performance of macroalgal communities was dependent on water quality.
