In activated sludge process, sludge settling condition is affected by organic loading rate or operation condition, and if settling condition is getting worse, it is common that overall process fails due to wash-out of biomass causing low concentration in the aeration tank. Also activated sludge process has such several problems as requiring large area, consuming a lot of power and producing large volume of sludge. Increased public concern over health and the environment combined with a strong desire to reduce capital, operating and maintenance costs, have created a need for innovative technologies for building new high quality effluents which vail meet 21st century crkeria. MBR(Membrane Bioreactor) process consists of a biological reactor and ultrafiltration(UF) membrane system that replaces the conventional clarifier of an activated sludge process. The main operating advantages of this system are that the quality of the effluent is independent of the settleability of the mixed liquor and that the effluent is free of suspended solids in any operating condition. It is possible to eliminate clarifier and to reduce the volume of aeration tank because it can afford to accumulate high biomass concentration in the bioreactor(20, 000~30, 000mg/L), which would not be possible in a conventional activated sludge process. Therefore, this process reduces overall treatment plant area. In addition to those advantages, Longer SRT condition enables higher sludge digestion in MBR process so the sludge volume produced is 50 to 70% lower than that of conventional activated sludge process There are two kinds of MBR process according to the allocations of membrane. One is cross flow type MBR of which module is located outside of the bioreactor and mixed liquor is driven into the membrane module. The other is submerged type MBR process of which module is submerged in the bioreactor and mixed liquor is generally sucked from the lumen side. addition to that the cake layer is often removed by the uplifting flow of bubbling air. A submerged MBR process is superior to a crossflow MBR in regard to the power consumption because suction pressure of a submerged MBR is generally lower than that of a crossflow MBR which has recirculation pump. A submerged MBR, therefore, has the potential to be applied to small wastewater treatment plants that need low cost treatment systems.

질소를 포함한 난분해성 오염불칠을 다량 함유한 축산폐수 (양돈폐수)의 오염물질을 효과적으로 처려를 위해서 생물학적 인 처리방안으로 활성슬러지 공정 및 입상활성란이 채워친 BACC 담제를 이용한 생물반응가에서의 유기물질 및 질소의 제거능에 때하여 조사하였다. 축산폐수를 일반 활성슬러지 공정으로 처려 할 경우 유압수를 희석하여 BOD 유입농도 약 600 mgfL의 폐수를 처리할 때 유출수의 BOD를 100 mgfL 이하로 유지하고자 할 경우 체류시간올 8일 이상 운전 해야하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 BACC 생물반응기에서 축산폐수를 처리할 때 체류시간이 200 시간일 때 유출수획 BOD, $COD_{Cr} $, TKN의 농도는 각각 94, 75, 64.3%의 제거효율을 나타내었다. BACC 생물반응기와 활성슬러지 공정을 비교 할 때 용적부하 0.3일 때 BOD 비기질제거속도가 활성슬러지 공정에서는 0.14 gBOD removedf L.day이고 BACC 생물반응기는 0.27 gBOD removed/L.day로서 통일부하에서 높은 제거효율을, 고부하에서도 안정된 제거효율을 나타내고 있기 때문에 BACC 생물반응기가 부하변통 및 고부하의 폐수처리에서 활성슬러지 공정보다 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

각종 섬유질 효소당화반응조내의 현탁액 혼합교반 양상이 효소당화에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 3종의 대표적인 bioreactor;vertical impeller type bioreactor-(VITB), horizonatl paddle type bioreactor(TDTB)를 제작하여 그 효용성을 비교 검토하였다. 최적 교반강도는 impel-ler나 paddle로 현탁핵을 교반하는 VITB와 HPTB가 각각 100rpm, 그리고 통자체를 회전시켜 교반하는 TDTB가 200rpm이었으며 TDTB에 부착된 baffle의 형태 및 크기는 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 VITB나 TDTB의 경우 과다한 교반은 효소의 실활을 유발시켜 오히려 섬유소당화를 저해하였다. 3종의 bioreactor의 최적 교반조건에서의 당화효율을 비교한 결과 VITB가 가장 높았으며 특히 고농도 섬유소 당화시 가장 높은 당화효율을 보여, 가장 효율적인 교반양상을 나타내는 것으로 보인다. 이로 미루어 impeller나 paddle의 물리적 충격에 의한 현탁액의 cellulose network를 파괴시키는 효소반응기가 단순히 교반혼합하는 반응기에 비하여 우수한 결과를 줌을 알 수 있었다. 반면 주어진 양의 당을 생산하는데 소요되는 동력소모를 검토한 결과 TDTB가 VITB에 비하여 다소 낮았으나 고농도의 경우는 급속히 증가되었다. 적절한 bioreactor의 선정에는 기질의 가격, 당화수율, 고농도 당화, 그리고 반응기의 scale-up의 용이성등이 종합적으로 검토되어져야 할 것이다.

유기성폐수 처리공정에서 악취발생농도가 높을 것으로 예상되는 양돈분뇨 처리공정에 pellet과 stone을 충진한 생물 반응기를 도입하고 대조시설로서 생물반응기를 도입하지 않는 활성슬러지법 공정과 비교하여 반응조 운전상태, 처리수질, 악취발생농도를 측정하였다. 거품발생, 처리수 투시도 등에서 생물반응기를 도입한 반응조가 훨씬 안정적인 모습을 보였으며 BOD 제거효율도 우수하였다. 반면, 총질소(T-N), 총인(T-P) 제거효율은 두 개의 반응조가 큰 차이를 보이지 않아 방류수 수질기준을 만족시키기 위해서는 별도의 고도처리를 하여야 할 것으로 나타났다. 악취는 암모니아성 질소, 암모니아 농도, 복합악취를 기준으로 살펴본 결과 생물반응기를 도입한 공정이 활성슬러지 공정보다 적게는 4배에서 최대 24배 이상 낮게 나타나 악취원인물질 발생이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 황화수소, 메틸머캅탄, 디메틸설파이드, 디메틸디설파이드 농도는 각각의 반응조 모두 검출되지 않거나 5 ppb에 불과하였으며 두 반응조의 차이 또한 크지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 생물반응기 공정에서는 주로 Bacillus sp./ Pseudomonas sp. 종이 주를 이루고 활성슬러지 공정에서는 Bacterium sp. Chryseobacterium sp. 종이 주를 이루었다.

Domestic sewerage treatment plant is operated by activated sludge method and its modified method by using microorganism. In most cases, a method of using microorganism is directly controlled by the operator based on individual judgment through factors of DO, pH and ORP. In addition, under aerobic condition in bioreactor, energy consumption including excessive air injection is learned to be somewhat plenty. In order to solve this problem, in most of the process, improvement of internal recycling and activated environmental factor of microorganism were researched extensively. However, as factors are changed depending on various conditions, it is not sufficient as an indicator of judgment. As such, a research on operation of bioreactor that measures metabolic change in short time by directly measuring activated condition of microorganism using NADH fluorometer is required in reality.It is considered that the method like this could supplement problem of energy consumption being occurred in the existing treatment method and operational optimization of bioreactor would be enabled by controlling optimal air volume. Therefore, in this study, in order to obtain optimal operational indicator of bioreactor, proper air volume control test was performed and through batch test and site evaluation, possibility of NADH sensor being utilized as operational control indicator of bioreactor is intended to be analyzed. In order to compare with measured value, DO, ORP that are operational control indicator of existing bioreactor were used. As MLSS concentration was increased through batch test, NADH value was increased and site evaluation also showed similar tendency to batch test. Resultantly, it could be confirmed that changing level of NADH fluorometer was a sensor that could measure bioreactor condition effectively and optimized scale of bioreactor is considered to be utilized.

A novel, continuous bioreactor system combining a bubble column (absorption section) and a two-phase bioreactor (degradation section) has been designed to treat a gas stream containing benzene. The bubble column contained hexadecane as an absorbent for benzene, and was systemically chosen considering physical, biological, environmental, operational and economic factors. This solvent has infinite solubility for benzene and very low volatility. After absorbing benzene in the bubble column, the hexadecane served as the organic phase of the two-phase partitioning bioreactor, transferring benzene into the aqueous phase where it was degraded by Alcaligenes xylosoxidans Y234. The hexadecane was then continuously recirculated back to the absorber section for the removal of additional benzene. All mass transfer and biodegradation characteristics in this system were investigated prior to operation of the integrated unit, and these included: the mass transfer rate of benzene in the absorption column, the mass transfer rate of benzene from the organic phase into the aqueous phase in the two-phase bioreactor, the stripping rate of benzene out of the two-phase bioreactor, etc. All of these parameters were incorporated into model equations, which were used to investigate the effects of operating conditions on the performance of the system. Several experiments were conducted to show the feasibility of this system. This process is believed to be very practical for the treatment of high concentrations of gaseous pollutants.

The improved MLE (modified Ludzack-Ettinger) process was operated for piggery waste treatment in full-scale public livestock waste treatment plant. The treated waste from bioreactor was suitable for the strict effluent standard of 200 mgCOD/L and 60 mgTN/L as it was dewatered chemically without settling tank and passed through filtration process. Though this treatment method produced a great deal of sludge ($6.4m^3\;per\;m^3$ dewatered piggery waste) it was able to accomplish predominant effluent quality by removing non-biodegradable COD and color without advanced oxidation process as ozone, fenton and etc.. The nitrogen removal efficiency of bioreactor was rapidly declined from March to May (from 0.016 to 0.005 kgN/kgVSS-day) when disinfection is in earnest as well as from warm season when reactor temperature rises higher than $35^{\circ}C$(from 0.016 to 0.008 kgN/kgVSS-day). This study proves that counterplanes for infection residuals, bioreactor temperature and dewatering sludge reduction are necessary for piggery waste treatment.

A one-pot process of enzymatic synthesis of deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate (5'-dTTP) employing whole cells of recombinant Escherichia coli coexpressing thymidylate kinase (TMKase) and acetate kinase (ACKase) was developed. Genes tmk and ack from E. coli were cloned and inserted into pET28a(+), and then transduced into E. coli BL21 (DE3) to form recombinant strain pTA in which TMKase and ACKase were simultaneously overexpressed. It was found that the relative residual specific activities of TMKase and ACKase, in pTA pretreated with 20 mM ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) at 25℃ for 30 min, were 94% and 96%, respectively. The yield of 5'-dTTP reached above 94% from 5 mM deoxythymidine 5'-monophosphate (5'-dTMP) and 15 mM acetyl phosphate catalyzed with intact cells of pTA pretreated with EDTA. The process was so effective that only 0.125 mM adenosine-5'-triphosphate was sufficient to deliver the phosphate group from acetyl phosphate to dTMP and dTDP.

High rate sulfate reduction under acidic conditions opens possibilities for new process flow sheets that allow the selective recovery of metals from mining and metallurgical waste and process water. However, knowledge about high-rate sulfate reduction under acidic conditions is limited. This paper investigates sulfate reduction in a membrane bioreactor at a controlled pH of 5. Sulfate and formate were dosed using a pH-auxostat system while formate was converted into hydrogen, which was used for sulfate reduction. Sulfide was removed from the gas phase to prevent sulfide inhibition. This study shows a high-rate sulfate-reducing bioreactor system for the frrst time at pH 5, with a volumetric activity of 188 mmol $SO_4^{2-}$/I/d and a specific activity of 81 mmol $SO_4^{2-}$volatile suspended solids/d. The microbial community at the end of the reactor run consisted of a diverse mixed population including sulfate-reducing bacteria.

This paper investigates the production and optimization of $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme using synthetic medium by Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-8279 in stirred tank bioreactor. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of fermentation parameters on $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production. Maximum specific enzyme activity of 4,622.7 U/g was obtained at the optimum levels of process variables (aeration rate 2.21 vvm, agitation speed 173.4 rpm, initial sugar concentration 33.8 g/L, incubation time 24.0 hr). The optimum temperature and pH of the $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme produced under optimized conditions were $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable over a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and a temperature range of $25-37^{\circ}C$. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values for O-nitrophenol-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG) were 1.20 mM and $1,000\;{\mu}mol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein, respectively. The response surface methodology was found to be useful in optimizing and determining the interactions among process variables in $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production. Hence, this study fulfills the lack of using mathematical and statistical techniques in optimizing the $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production in stirred tank bioreactor.
