하수슬러지를 유동층 소각으로 처리할 때 유동매체가 $N_2O$ 발생에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 유동매체로 zeolite 분말을 혼합하여 2 mm의 구형으로 제조하였다. 유동사의 평균크기 0.4 mm인 것을 유동매체로 사용할시 최소유동화속도($U_{mf}$)는 0.44 m/s로 나타났으나, 2 mm zeolite 유동매체를 사용하였을 경우, 최소유동화속도는 0.5 m/s로 다소 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 유동층 소각로 내경에 대한 유동층 높이의 비(bed aspect ratio)를 1.4에서 3.1로 증가시켰을 때, 최소유동화속도는 0.5 m/s 에서 0.7 m/s로 다소 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 과잉공기비가 1.79이고, 유동층 온도는 $909^{\circ}C$, 공탑속도는 약 1.65 m/s의 운전 조건에서, 유동매체 양의 증가에 따라 배가스 $O_2$ 농도는 다소 감소하였으며, $CO_2$의 농도는 다소 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 유동매체의 양이 6 kg (bed aspect ratio 1.98) 이상일 때 $N_2O$의 농도가 크게 감소하였는데, 이러한 감소는 $N_2O$의 NOx로 전환이라기보다는 zeolite 유동매체에 의한 $N_2O$ 분해 반응에 의한 것으로 사료되었다. 한편, zeolite 유동매체를 유동사와 혼합하여, 유동층 높이를 일정하게 유지하고, zeolite 유동매체의 혼합 비율과 유동층 온도를 변화시켰을 때, $N_2O$의 발생농도는 혼합비율 보다 유동층 온도에 의해 크게 의존하였으며, 고온으로 갈수록 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 소각 운전 온도를 고려하였을 때, zeolite 유동매체의 소성 온도는 $900^{\circ}C$에서 수행하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the grit removal efficiency of tornado block-type vortex grit separator. Vortex grit separator was manufactured for this study, and it was characterized by the impeller and tornado block installed in separator. Impeller was installed to increase water velocity in the separator and tornado block was installed to increase the grit lifting efficiency. Pilot study was also conducted in A sewage treatment plant (STP) in Gyeonggi province from November 2003 to May 2004 (64 days). Major findings are as follows. 1. Impeller was proven to increase water velocity in the grit separator, especially in low flow rate. This influence will increase separation ratio of organics from grits, preventing those organics from sedimentation. 2. Sand (with 0.2~0.3mm size) removal efficiency was over 98 % and 96 %, at the flow rate of $500m^3/day$ and $750m^3/day$ under the condition that impeller rotation velocity kept at 15 rpm. Originally that grit separator was designed to have the capacity of $500m^3/day$. $750m^3/day$ was tried to investigate the performance of this type of grit separator under overload condition. Stable grit removal was still available to the extent of 150% of designed capacity. 3. It took less than 3 minutes for the grit separator to completely lift out 3 kgs of 0.2-0.3 mm sized, settled sand at the bottom to 2,060 mm high above water surface. But it showed the tendency to spend a little more time on lifting the grit as the grit size and the vertical height of the lift increased. 4. During experimental duration in A STP, it was found that the average amount of inlet grit was about 981 g/day (160~1,685 g/day) under $500m^3/day$ of operation condition, but it varied so severely during the experimental duration. After classification of discharged grit according to its size, grit with 0.3-0.42 mm size was found as largest part of output.

본 연구의 목적은 이차침전조의 구조개선을 통해 탈수여액 처리와 생물학적 처리용량 확보의 가능성을 평가하는데 있다. 이에 따른 연구의 절차로는 탈수여액 내 함유된 polymer가 슬러지 침전에 미치는 영향을 column test를 통해 평가하였으며, 회분식 실험과 연속식 처리공정운전을 통해 탈수여액의 처리 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 슬러지 침강속도는 polymer 주입율이 증가할 수 록 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 상징수의 SS 농도는 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 탈수여액의 처리 특성은 이차침전조 내통 길이가 길수록 탈수여액 내 함유된 TSS 및 TBOD5의 제거효율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 연속식 처리공정 적용 결과는 탈수여액 주입위치를 각각 무산소조와 이차침전조에 주입한 경우를 비교하였을 때 두 조건에서 모두 안정적인 방류수질을 보였다. 따라서 이차침전조의 구조개선을 통해 탈수여액의 효율적인 처리가 가능 할 것으로 판단되며, 소규모 하수처리장의 경우 처리용량 부족 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 하수처리수를 원수로 사용하여 직접 접촉식 막증발법을 적용하여 원수 온도와 원수 유량 변화에 따른 하수처리수의 COD, TN, TP, TOC의 제거율 변화와 여과플럭스의 변화를 측정하였다. 또한 하수처리수에 의한 분리막의 오염 가역성을 평가하기 위해 1차 증류수만을 사용하여 물리세정을 수행한 후 플럭스의 회복률을 측정하였다. 실험결과 원수의 온도 및 유량에 관계없이 원수가 3배 농축될 때까지 여과를 진행하였음에도 불구하고 하수처리수의 주요 오염물질인 COD, TN, TP, TOC에 대한 제거율이 92% 이상으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 비교적 낮은 온도인 $50^{\circ}C$와 $60^{\circ}C$에서 원수의 유량에 따라 최소 13.8 LMH에서 20.3 LMH로 높은 여과플럭스를 나타냈다. 그리고 높은 농축계수까지 여과 실험을 진행했음에도 불구하고 낮은 여과플럭스의 감소를 나타냈으며 1차 증류수를 이용한 짧은 시간 동안의 물리세정만으로 최소 90% 이상의 높은 여과 플럭스 회복율을 나타냈다. 따라서 하수처리수 재이용을 위한 공정으로 막증발법의 적용이 충분히 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and other factors were investigated to explore the effects of the effluent discharge from a sewage treatment plant into Jwagwang stream in Busan in 2019. During the study period, the flow rate of this stream was in the range of 10,400 m³/day to 52,200 m³/day except for the discharge of about 24,000 m³/day of the effluent. After discharge, the flow velocity increased by about 65% and the water depth increased by about 40%. At sites downstream of the discharge point, BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, and other water quality values were worse than those of the upstream sites. The periphytic algal chlorophyll-a concentrations in the natural substrata were higher than those of the upstream sites, especially in May and August. However, at sites downstream of the discharge point, the individual numbers of Annelida were decreased and individual numbers of the insecta of arthropoda were increased. Also, species numbers and the diversity and dominance indexes were improved in the sites downstream of the discharge point. The functional feeding groups (FFGs) of collector-filterers were increased and the habitat orientation groups (HOGs) of sprawlers, burrowers, and clingers were especially increased at the sites with additional reclaimed wastewater effluent flow. Regardless of the effluent discharge, BMI, an indicator of ecological stream health using benthic macroinvertebrate species, did not show large gaps between the study points. Although the water quality of the sites downstream of the discharge point was much worse than those upstream, their ecosystem soundness was better than those of the upstream sites from an ecological perspective.

Concerns about water quality in the Nakdong River have been raised because the Nakdong River will change from a lotic environment to a lentic environmental due to the installation of eight weirs to be constructed as part of the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project. The rapid urbanization and industrialization of the middle and the lower reaches of Nakdong River causes the indiscreet discharge of uncleanly living sewage and industrial wastewater. And the water quality of lower reaches of Nakdong River is getting seriously worse. Owing to the water shortage of Nakdong River and the closing of reaches because of the estuary dyke in the dry season, the velocity of a moving fluid is almost accumulated under 0.03m/sec. Then a pollutant is piled up on the bottom of the river. Polluted sediment is formed and nutrition level of water is increased more and more. The eutrophication state propagated to dark brown or green from eutrophication often comes out. Therefore in this study, we measured Chl. a of chlorophyll sensor (YSI6600V2) and aceton extraction through field observation in the Nakdong River and Samrangjin. And we evaluated the reliability of chlorophyll sensor. In correlation analysis between chlorophyll sensor and aceton extraction, it shows high relation in general. And it also shows high relation among the chlorophyll sensor and aceton extraction of the dominant diatom (Skeletonema costatum), Dinophyta (Prorocentrum minimum) in the Nakdong River estuary by laboratory analysis results.

The treatment performance and operational parameters of a tertiary wastewater treatment process a biological filtration system were investigated. The biological filtration system consisted of a nitrification filter (Fiter 1) and a polishing filter with anoxic and aerobic parts (Filter 2). SS, T-C-BOD, and T-N in effluent were kept stable at less than 3, 5 mg/L, and 5 mgN/L, respectively, under a HRT in Filter (filter-bed) of 0.37~2.3 h. T-N at the outlet of Filter 2 were about 1~5 mgN/L under the condition of LV of 50~202 m/d. In Filter 2, denitrification was accomplished under LV of 50~168 m/d in a 1 m filter-bed. However, the denitrification capacity reached the maximum when the linear velocity was increased to 202 m/d. Relationship between increase in microorganism and headloss was clearer in Filter 2. As a result, the denitrification rate increased from 1.0~2.3 kgN/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) as the headloss increased. The COD removal rate was 6.0~9.6 kgCOD/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) when operated with Filters 1 and 2. These results mean that captured bacteria contributed a part of COD consumption and denitrification. The maximum nitrification and denitrification rate was 0.5 and 4 kgN/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) in Filter 1 and 2.The ratio of backwashing water to the treated water was about 5~10 %. In Filter 1, wasted sludge in backwashing was only 0.7~5.3 gSS/($m^3$-treated water). In Filter 2, added methanol was converted into sludge and its value was 8.0~24 gSS/($m^3$-treated water). These results proved that this process is both convenient to install as tertiary treatment and cost effective to build and operate.

Simple material budget models were developed to predict the spring season (March ~ May) water quality for a river-type reservoir Paldang, in the Republic of Korea. These models are available at mixed water bodies whose light intensity is negligible at the bottom. The calculated data from the models fit quite well with field data collected for 30 years, from 1988 to 2017. The apparent settling velocity of total phosphorus was estimated to be $110m\;d^{-1}$. The critical hydraulic load that determines the usability of phosphorus for algal production appeared to be about $2.0m\;d^{-1}$. When a hydraulic load was larger than the critical value, the concentrations of chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ ($Chl.{\alpha}$), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and 5-day biochemical oxygen demand BOD in the reservoir water became insensitive to internal algal reactions. The model analysis showed that the allochthonous COD continued to increase while the allochthonous BOD slightly decreased after 1999. The decrease of allochthonous BOD is due to the expansion of sewage and wastewater treatment plants in the watershed. The increase of allochthonous COD seems to result from the increase in anthropogenic non-point sources as well as the increase in the discharge of natural organic matters due to climate change. Organic matter of algal origin continued to increase until the mid-2000s, but recently it has decreased as the phosphorus concentration has decreased. The COD and BOD of algal origin increased from 35 % and 27 % during 1988 ~ 1994 to 43 % and 40 % during 2000 ~ 2010, respectively, and then decreased to 25 % and 28 % during 2011 ~ 2017.

A pump is considered to be submersible when a motor and a pump are integrated and operate while submerged in water. Submersible pumps mainly function as rejection pumps to prevent foods in densely populated areas, as cold water circulation pumps in large power plants, as pumps to supply irrigation water, as drainage pumps to prevent flooding of agricultural lands, as water supply intake pumps, and as inflow pumps for sewage treatment. The flow in such turbomachines (submersible pumps) inevitably involves various eddy currents. Since it is almost impossible to accurately grasp the complex three-dimensional flow structure and characteristics of a rotating turbomachine through actual testing, three-dimensional numerical analysis using computational fluid dynamics techniques measuring the flow field, velocity, and the pressure can be accurately predicted. In this study, the shape of the impeller was developed to reduce vibration and noise. This was done by increasing the efficiency of the existing submersible pump and reducing turbulence. In order to evaluate the pump's efficiency and turbulence reduction, we tried to analyze the flow using ANSYS Fluent V15.0, a commercial finite element analysis program. The results show that the efficiency of the pump was improved by 4.24% and the Reynolds number was reduced by 15.6%. The performance of a developed pump with reduced turbulence, vibration, and noise was confirmed.

This study focused an water quality response to land-based pollution loads and the appropriate pollutant load reduction in Chinhae Bay using an eco-hydrodynamic model. Land-based discharge foam urban areas, industrial complex and sewage treatment plant was the greatest contributor to cause red-tide blooms and summer hypoxia. Tidal currents velocity af the ebb tide was about 10 cm/s stronger than that of the flood tide. A residual current was simulated to. have a slightly complicated pattern with ranging from 0.1 to. 2.7 cm/s. In Masan Bay, pollutant materials cannot flaw from the inner to the outer bay easily because af residual currents flaw southward at surface and northward at the bottom. The simulation results of COD distribution showedhigh concentrations aver 3 mg/L in the inner part of Masan Bay related pollutant discharge, and charge, and lower levels less than 1.5mg/L in the central part of Chinhae Bay. For improvement water quality in Chinhae Bay, it is necessary to reduce the organic and inorganic loads from paint sources by mare than 50% and ameliorate severe polluted sediment.
