The variations of gas hold-up, overall volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficients and liquid circulation velocity in an internal loop reactor were investigated to manifest scale-up effect. The relationship between superficial gas velocity and gas hold-up were found as Ugr = 0.045 $\varepsilon$r in the pilot-scale and Ugr = 0.056 $\varepsilon$r in the bench-scale reactor. The overall volumetric oxygen mass tractsfer coefficient, KLa was slightly increased in the pilot-scale than in the bench-scale reactor. Flow regime was changed from the bubble flow to the churn-turbulent flow when the superficial gas velocity reached to 3.5 - 4 cm/sec in the pilot-scale.

본 연구는 급속한 산업 발전으로 인해 일어난 많은 수질오염 문제 중 생활하수의 처리방법에 관심을 기울여 생물막 공법을 이용하였는데, 이는 소규모 오폐수 처리장치에서 운전과 유지가 간단하고 활성슬러지 공정보다 넓은 부지를 필요로 하지 않기 때문이다. 생물막 공법 중 생물여상법의 변법을 적용한 Pilot 규모의 상향류식 충전탑형 반응기로 내부의 담체로는 폐토기와 폐비닐을 넣어 혐기조와 호기조를 구성하였고, 생활 오수로는 식당 오수를 이용하여 Lab.-Scale 실험 후 Pilot-Scale로 Scale-up하여 100여일 간에 걸쳐 실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 연속 포기시 일정 HRT에서 유기물과 질소, 인 제거율을 살펴보았다. 실험결과 $BOD_5$와 SS의 평균 제거율은 각각 94.33%와 87.77%로 높은 제거율을 보였으나, $COD_{Cr}$은 81.46%로 목표 제거율 90% 이상에 미치지 못하였고, T-N과 T-P도 각각 71.92%와 21.10%로 예상보다 약간 낮았다. 특히 $COD_{Cr}$와 T-N의 제거율은 지난 Lab.-Scale 때보다 약 10% 정도의 감소를 하여 Pilot-scale에 내외적인 문제가 작용한 것으로 보였다.

A performance of pilot scale biofilter was investigated for the treatment of odorous waste gas. The system treated 508.7 $m^3h^{-1}$ of waste air with amine and ammonia concentrations ranging up to 0.06 $N-gm^{-3}$ Over the four month study, its elimination capacity was demonstrated up to 6.37 $N-gm^{-3}h^{-1}$ and its removal efficiency was 100%. Differ to lab scale biofilter, It is difficult to maintain the proper temperature of reactor because of low external temperature. Experiments were performed indicating various problem such as sudden system shut down, unstable pump, water addition malfunction and corrosion of reactor. However, pilot scale biofilter was stable when treatment of odorous waste gas.

Objectives: For the field application of the dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor, scale-up of the plasma reactor is needed. This study investigated the possibility of inactivation of microorganisms in sewage using pilot multi-plasma reactor. We also considered the possibility of degradation of total organic carbon (TOC) and nonbiodegradable matter ($UV_{254}$) in sewage. Methods: The pilot plasma reactor consists of plasma reactor with three plasma modules (discharge electrode and quartz dielectric tube), liquid-gas mixer, high voltage transformers, gas supply equipment and a liquid circulation system. In order to determine the operating conditions of the pilot plasma reactor, we performed experiments on the operation parameters such as gas and liquid flow rate and electric discharge voltage. Results: The experimental results showed that optimum operation conditions for the pilot plasma reactor in batch experiments were 1 L/min air flow rate), 4 L/min liquid circulation rate, and 13 kV electric discharge voltage, respectively. The main operation factor of the pilot plasma process was the high voltage. In continuous operation of the air plasma process, residual microorganisms, $UV_{254}$ absorbance and TOC removal rate at optimal condition of 13 kV were $10^{2.24}$ CFU/mL, 56.5% and 8.6%, respectively, while in oxygen plasma process at 10 kV, residual microorganisms, $UV_{254}$ absorbance and TOC removal rate at optimal conditions were $10^{1.0}$ CFU/mL, 73.3% and 24.4%, respectively. Electric power was increased exponentially with the increase in high voltage ($R^2$ = 0.9964). Electric power = $0.0492{\times}\exp^{(0.6027{\times}lectric\;discharge\;voltage)}$ Conclusions: Inactivation of microorganisms in sewage effluent using the pilot plasma process was done. The performance of oxygen plasma process was superior to air plasma process. The power consumption of oxygen plasma process was less than that of air plasma process. However, it was considered that the final evaluation of air and oxygen plasma must be evaluated by considering low power consumption, high process performance, operating costs and facility expenses of an oxygen generator.

An experimental study was performed on the decomposition of gaseous ammonia and two selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs: toluene and acetone) in a combined nonthermal plasma reactor with corona and glow discharges. A lab pilot scale reactor (206 liter) equipped with a high electric power pack was used to determine the decomposition efficiency in relation with the inlet concentration and applied voltage. Three different types of discharging electrode such as wired rack, wire strings for corona discharge, and thin plate for glow discharge were put in order in the reactor. While decomposition of ammonia decreased with an increase in the initial concentration, acetone showed an opposite result. In the case of toluene however no explicit tendency was found in toluene and aceton. Negative discharge resulted in high decomposition efficiency than the positive one for all gases. A better removal of gas phase element could be achieved when fume dust were present simultaneously.

Pilot-scale PSSBR(Phase Separated Sequencing Batch Reactor) was operated to evaluate requirement of external carbon sources(${\Delta}gCOD/{\Delta}gNO_3^{-}-N$) in denitrification. Methanol and fermented food waste were used as external carbon sources. Methanol and fermented food waste were fed to the anoxic state of first reactor and concentration were 50 and 40 mgCOD/L on the basis of concentration in reactor, respectively. In case that external carbon source was not used, average $NO_3^{-}-N$ concentration in effluent was 22.49 mg/L. When methanol and fermented food waste were fed, average $NO_3^{-}-N$ concentration in effluent were 10.13 mg/L and 6.3 mg/L, respectively and requirement of external carbon sources were 4.04 and 2.5 ${\Delta}gCOD/{\Delta}gNO_3^{-}-N$, respectively. Fermented food waste was better than methanol in denitrification efficiency. Therefore fermented food waste could be one of the excellent external carbon sources for nitrogen removal in biological nutrient removal process.

초음파 기술은 공동현상(cavitation)에 의한 산화분해 및 열분해 과정을 이용해 오염물질을 저감시키는 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있으나 대부분 저용량 소규모(Lab scale) 실험에 그치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대용량 연속식 처리가 가능한 Pilot Scale의 초음파 시스템을 개발하고, 분해 대상물질로 나프탈렌을 선정하여 개발된 시스템의 처리효율을 비교 검증하였다. 전반사가 유도된 최적의 다주파 조사 조건으로 V-$120^{\circ}$ 형태가 일반형에 비해 약 1.4~2.2배 우수한 효율을 나타내었다. V-$120^{\circ}$ 초음파 조사 형태, 연속식 처리가 가능하기 위한 유입 유출수 설치, 보조제 첨가부 및 외곽 냉각 순환시스템을 적용하여 총 3가지 형태의 pilot scale(20~40 L) 반응조를 제작하였다. 세 반응조의 나프탈렌 처리 결과는 모두 EPA의 나프탈렌 음용수 권고기준을 만족하였으며, 특히, 전반사 조건이 유도된 PS1과 PS2 type이 약 97% 이상의 우수한 분해효율을 보였다. 연속식(CSTR형) 처리 방식에서도 2.5~10 mg/L의 나프탈렌을 시간당 10~20 L를 처리한 결과 약 84~96%의 우수한 분해효율을 나타내었다. 인공 현장 지하수 조건에서의 초음파 적용시 초음파 효율의 큰 차이를 보이지 않아 개발된 본 시스템의 현장 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Sulfur-Iodine cycle (SI cycle)은 요오드와 황을 첨가하여 최종적으로 물을 열화학적으로 분해하여 산소와 수소를 생산하는 공정으로 황산분해, 요오드화 수소 분해, 분젠반응 등 세가지 반응들로 이루어져 있다. 분젠 반응은 두가지 공정 중간에 존재하므로 두 반응에 필요한 화학물을 조달하는 역할로 이에 대한 상분리 및 반응기에 대한 분석이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 50 L/hr 수소를 생산하는 pilot scale의 Sulfur-Iodine Cycle 중 분젠 공정에 대한 모사, 민감도 분석, 민감도 분석을 토대로한 각각 상분리기와 분젠 반응기에 대한 최적 조건을 제시하였다. 열역학 물성치의 계산을 위해 Electrolyte Non-Random Two Liquid (ELECNRTL) model 사용하였다. 모델에 대한 신뢰도 확보를 위해서 실제 pilot scale의 공정 데이터와 검증을 수행하였다. 반응기의 종류를 선정하기 위해 Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR)과 Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) 동일한 온도 및 부피 변화에서 SO₂ 전환율을 비교하였다. 상분리기 선정을 위해 3상 분리 시스템(기체-액체-액체)과 액체-기체 분리 후 액체-액체 구조에서 H₂SO₄ 상과 HI_X 상에서의 불순물들을 비교하였다. PFR에서 온도, 지름, 길이를 결정 변수로 SO₂ 전환율을 최대화 하기 위한 최적화를 수행하였는데, 온도 121 ℃와 PFR의 지름이 0.20 m 및 길이 7.6 m 일 때 SO₂ 전환율이 98% 최적 결과임을 확인하였다. 기존 pilot scale과 동일한 운전 조건 하에 PFR의 지름 3/8 inch, 길이 3.0 m, 120 ℃ 일 때 인입 몰량인 I₂ 및 H₂O를 결정 변수로 SO₂ 전환율에 대한 최적화를 수행하였을 때, SO₂ 전환율이 10% 일때 H₂O 및 I₂ 의 인입 몰량은 각각 17%와 22%로 감소하였다. 앞선 조업 조건 최적화 조건 (121 ℃, 지름 0.20 m, 길이: 7.6 m) 경우에는 SO₂ 전환율이 98% 일 때 H₂O가 1% 그리고 I₂가 7% 감소하였다. 상분리기에서 HI_X 상내 H₂SO₄ 최소화하는 목적함수에서 그에 상응하는 온도, I₂와 H₂O를 결정 변수로 설정하였을 때, H₂O 몰량이 기존공정보다 17% 감소하고 I₂ 몰량이 24% 감소하였을 때 최소 불순물이 생성하였다.

A pilot scale study was conducted on a down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor installed at a sewage treatment plant in Banda Aceh, Indonesia for treatment of desludging septic tank wastewater. Raw wastewater with an average biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids of 139 mg/L and 191 mg/L, respectively, was pumped into the reactor. Two different hydraulic retention times (HRTs, 3 h and 4 h) were investigated, equivalent to organic loadings of 1.11 and $0.78kg\;BOD/m^3/d$, respectively. The average BOD concentration in the final effluent was 46 and 26 mg/L at HRTs of 3 and 4 h, respectively. The concentration of retained sludge along the reactor height was 10.2-18.7 g VSS/L-sponge, and the sludge activities were 0.24-0.32 and 0.04-0.40 mg/g VSS/h for heterotrophs and nitrification, respectively. Values of water hold-up volume, dispersion coefficient, and number of tank in-series found from tracer studies of clean sponge and biomass-loaded sponge confirmed that growth of retained sludge on the sponge module improved hydraulic performance of the reactor. Adoption of the DHS reactor by this Indonesian sewage treatment plant would enhance the role of the current desludging septic tank wastewater treatment system.
