In 2014, the first demineralization plant, using nanofiltration (NF) membrane coupled with renewable energies was realized at Al Annouar high school of Sidi Taibi, Kenitra, Morocco. This project has revealed difficulties related to the membrane performances loss (pressure increase, flux decline, poor water quality of the produced water and increase of energy consumption), as consequences of membrane fouling. To solve this problem, an autopsy of the membrane was done in order to determine the nature and origin of the fouling. The samples of membrane and fouling were then analyzed by scanning electron microscopy using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) connected with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) detection system and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Moreover, three cleaning solutions (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid) were tested and assessed in a single cleaning step to find the suitable one for the fouled membrane to regain its initial permeability and performances. The analysis of the experimental results showed that the fouling layer is mainly composed of calcium carbonate (inorganic fouling). Results showed also that the permeability is improved by the hydrochloric acid cleaning (pH=3) with a cleaning efficiency of 93%. Cleaning efficiency did not exceed 75 % with nitric acid (pH=3) and 40 % with sulfuric acid (pH=3).

For more efficient use of the high pressure water-jet in rehabilitation of the water pipes, we have studied the water-jet cleaning motion of the in-pipe robot with screw drive. The mathematical models of the water-jet in the straight and the curved pipe (90 degrees elbow), representative features of the water mains, were designed to understand the water-jet motion and simulations have been performed. Furthermore the experiments has been conducted to validate the simulations by using the prototype in-pipe robot in the 3-D pipeline. The simulation results show that the water-jet motion in the straight pipe has a constant water-jet interval, whereas the motion in the curved pipe is changed by its position. By the comparison of the simulation and the experimental results, we have demonstrated that the simulations successfully estimate the water-jet motion inside the water pipes. Therefore in-pipe robot operators can predict a water-jet motion for a target water pipe through the simulation and flexibly make a proper water-jet motion by changing the robot configurations before a cleaning work.

The amount of water resources that can be used tend to be decreased gradually. In contrast, the rapidly increasing water consumption is a problem that need to be addressed. Renovation and equipment replacement to improve energy efficiency and to reduce expenditure for building usage is required. But the excessive initial investment cost and the prolonged of pay back period may be uneconomical choice. Water usage for cleaning the toilet bowl accounts for 27%of the total water usage. Water-saving valve that can select the amount of water for cleaning toilet bowl can be reduced expenditure. After installing water-saving valve, analysed the economic effects. Water-saving valves compared with flush valves, and researched the amount of water usage. Then analyzed for the economic effects. Water-saving valve was used 5.6 ${\ell}$/time for cleaning toilet bowl. In contrast, flush valve was consumed 8.4 ${\ell}$/time. Water-saving valve's water-saving rate was 33.3%. The initial payback period for Water-saving valve was 459.5 days. By a small investment in water saving valve, the economic benefits can be obtained.

A new cleaning robot system for live-line tension insulator string was developed to prevent an insulator failure, which can have severe effects on national security as well as national industry and economy. The robot moves along the insulator string using the clamps installed on its two moving frames. Especially, unlike the existing cleaning robots using jets of water or water/air, the robot system adopts dry cleaning method using a rotating brush and a circular motion guide. This robot system has control architecture consisting of a master control unit and two slave control units. We confirmed its effectiveness through experiments.

To ascertain if the ultrasonic cleaning technique caused any dimensional changes in heat and cold curing and fluid resin denture bases and in addition to evaluate the dimensional changes of the resin denture bases stored in water and air, the author measured the distance between the outsides of two pins embedded in methyl methacrylate test denture bases by mean of 12 inch vernier caliper, accurate to 0.02mm. The results were as follows; (1) Ultrasonic cleaning didn't cause any permanent dimensional changes, but only affected temporary dimensional expansion in 16 test denture bases. (2) Temporary expansion rate caused by 10 minutes' ultrasonic cleaning was 0.29% and at the maximal temperature of the cleaning solution it was 0.64%. (3) The half of the denture bases stored in water showed the dimensional expansion rate of 0.47% while the others stored in air showed the dimensional shrinkage rate of 0.15% after 4 months.

Disinfection is a very important process in water plant on account of our surface water usage. Particularly. the rainfall of Korea is concentrated in summer time. it is almost carried away to ocean before our utilization as water resource. To overcome the unbalance of water resource, artificial dams and reservoirs are constructed. According to such storage of water to aggravate water pollution and make the increase of water cleaning chemicals. Chlorine, as a main traditional chemical for water treatment. is focused on account of THMS formation in recent days. In this paper. the data of a water plant located in Seoul is adopted as the foundation of water quality analysis and introduce the substitute chemicals to supplement the harmful formation. additionally. Conclusions are summarized as follows: 1. The water quality of water resource is the worst in summer time and the supply of cleaning chemical is inevitably increased on account of general bacteria increase. 2. Chlorine, as a main chemical for water cleaning, formed the cancer-causing organic THMS with water molecules. 3. One of substitute chemical. chlorine dioxids suppress the formation of THMS comparing with the case of chlorine only. Therefore. the continuous research of substitute chemicals should be activated. 4. As the supply of disinfected clean water concerned with the citizen sanitary, the cultivation of professionals and academic conference must be needed on the basis of nation

가죽제품 신발은 물 세척을 할 수 없기 때문에 물을 이용하지 않으면서 신발 내⋅외부의 이물질을 제거하고, 신발 내부를 살균할 수 있는 세척 방법이 필요하다. 이를 위해 이 논문에서는 물을 사용하지 않고 고압의 압축공기와 살균 약액 및 자외선 램프롤 이용하여 신발 내⋅외부를 신속하게 세척하는 신발세척기에서 신발 세척의 전 과정을 자동으로 제어하는 신발세척기 제어 시스템을 개발한다. 개발 시스템은 범용 단일보드 컴퓨터(SBC:single board computer)인 라즈베리파이(RaspberryPi)를 이용하여 신발 세척기의 각종 구동 장치들(actuators)을 제어한다. 개발 시스템에 의해 운영되는 신발 세척기는 1분 이내의 세척 시간에 99% 이상의 살균력과 86%이상의 악취제거 효율을 보여준다.

CFC-113, 1,1,1-TCE는 오존파괴물질로 선진국에서는 이미 사용이 전면 규제되고 있고 MC, TCE는 유해성 또는 발암성물질로 판명되어 일부사업장에서 제한적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러므로 세정성이 좋고 환경/안전성이 우수한 대체세정제를 개발하여 사용하거나 기존 개발된 세정제 중에서 우수한 세정제를 선정하여 사용하는 것이 필요한 실정이다. 대체세정제로는 수계세정제가 환경성과 경제적면에서 유망한 것으로 평가받고 있어 많은 사업장에서 사용될 전망이다. 본 연구에서는 환경친화적인 수계세정제를 개발하기 위하여 수계세정제의 주요성분인 여러 형태의 계면활성제를 선정하여 이들의 물성, 거품성, 오염물 종류에 따른 세정성, 유수분리성을 평가하여 비교하였다.

Biologically treated water contains a large quantity of organic matters and microorganisms which can cause various problems to membrane. The membrane fouling occurred by these reasons is hard to control by single physical cleaning. This study analyzes the efficiency of aeration with chemical backwashing and foulants removal during chemical backwashing. The cleaning efficiency improves when the chemical concentration is high and the contact time of chemical is long. Chemical backwashing with aeration shows exceptional cleaning efficiency which leads the physical cleaning is required during chemical backwashing since it forms flow inside the membrane submerged tank. From the foulants removal analysis, the particles such as turbidity and TOC removal rate increase when the aeration is applied. Dissolved matter of DOC and UV254 removal is dependent on higher chemical concentration. According to FTIR analysis, one of major foulants, the polysaccharide is controlled by the chemical backwashing with aeration condition.
