This study was conducted to investigated the removal efficiency of BOD and nutrient for the treatment of low strength municipal wastewater by a biological nutrient removal system. In this experiment, the effect of operating parameter including HRT of 7.0hr, BOD/TN ratios of 2.62~4.08, internal recycle of 50~300%, and return sludge of 50~100%, were studied during winter season. Efficiencies of organic matter and T-P removal and denitrification were not significantly affected by the change of temperature in winter season. However, the specific nitrification rate and nitrification efficiency decreased at low temperature. Besides, denitrification efficiencies increased with increasing BOD/TN ratios. It was also found that the internal recycle and return sludge ratio below 50% is required for the effective denitrification of low strength municipal wastewater. With operating mode 4 of the optimum, the effluent BOD, T-N and T-P concentration were obtained to average 5.8, 14.6, and 0.84 mg/L, respectively. The temperature-activity coefficient (${\theta}$) of specific nitrification rate, specific denitrification rate and specific phosphorus uptake rate were obtained 1.044, 1.017, 1.028, respectively.

Sediment has been increasingly acknowledged as a carrier in water system and an available contamination. For this reason, dredging of sediment in reservoir to remediate water quality and secure storage capacity is conducted annually. However, disposal of numerous dredged sediment is necessary as a secondary problem. Currently, in Korea, dredged sediment is classified as waste to be reclamated or recycled into sandy soil, however, they are still in trouble because of spacial and environmental problem. Therefore, rather than simple disposal or reuse into sandy soil, it is necessary to research on method to manage main cause of pollution and increase the value as a resource. In this study, we intend to develop a recycle technology for numerous dredged sediment produced by dredging in deteriorated reservoirs using solidificator (stabilizer). To achieve this, we will consider utilization of dredged sediment and evaluation of use possibility as natural recycle by analysis the characteristics of soil-solidificator mixture in terms of physicochemical properties and the mixing ratio between sediment and solidificator.

The objectives of this study were to find out the optimum treatment conditions for removing nitrogen in a synthetic wastewater by using microorganisms immobilized with PVA-Freezing method. The samples used as influents to the laboratory scale treatment units were a synthetic wastewater. The experiments in this study were mainly directed to collect the data of nitrogen and organic matter removal efficiencies for the different hydraulic and internal recycle rates conditions, temperature and influent C/N ratios. The removal efficiencies of nitrogen and organic matters were investigated for the operating conditions of HRT 2~12hours, internal recycle rates 50~400%, temperatures $15{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and C/N ratios 2.5~7.5. The adequate internal recycle rate for removing T-N and $BOD_5$ in the synthetic wastewater was found to be about 300% at the temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ when the ratio of carbon contents to the nitrogen (C/N) in the influent was around 5.5. Under these conditions, the final effluent concentrations of T-N and $BOD_5$ were 8.7 and 8.4 mg/l, respectively.

Simulation model was developed to analyze drying process for tray type red pepper dryer and validated by experiments. This model could predict satisfactorily temperatures and moisture contents of red pepper and temperatures of drying air during drying. Optimize algorithm was developed to search control valiables (drying air temperature, air recycle ratio and air flow rate) of red pepper dryer based on a criterion of minimizing energy consumption under the constraint conditions that statisfied carotenoid retension of at least 210mg per 100g dry matter, the moisture content of bottom layer of 15% (d.b) and drying time of less than 35 hours. Step changes in drying air temperature and air recycle ratio were considered in the optimization. In single step in control variables, the difference of the moisture content between top layer and bottom layer was great and more fan power was required. As the drying trays were exchanged when the moisture content of bottom layer reached to 100% (d.b), fifty percent of energy was saved and the difference of moisture content was little. In double step changes in control variables, optimal conditions were found by changing the step when the moisture content of bottom layer reached to 100% (d.b) (about 19.8 hours from starting drying). Optimum air flow rate was $18.1cmm/m^2$. Optimum drying air temperature and air recycle ratio in the first step was $55.8^{\circ}C$ and 0.80, and in the second step $65.6^{\circ}C$ and 0.88, respectively. In triple step changes in control variables, the optimal conditions were found by changing the steps when the moisture content of bottom layer reached to 250% (d.b) and 150% (d.b). Optimal air temperatures were $66.2^{\circ}C$, $58.4^{\circ}C$ and $66.9^{\circ}C$, and optimal air recycle ratios were 0.778, 0.785, 0.862 at each step, respectively. Optimal air flow rate was $18.9cmm/m^2$. The best operating mode was triple step mode considering energy consumption, drying time, fan power, and quality of dried red pepper. When the triple step mode was used to dry the red pepper, the energy consumption was about 16.5%~57.2% less than that of the single step mode and the drying time was 6.6 hours shorter than that of the double step mode.

The efficiencies of Gang-Byeon sewage treatment facilities, which are based on GPS-X modelling, were analysed and used to design recycle water treatment processes. The effluent of an aeration tank contained total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) of 1.8 mg/L with both C-1 and C-2 conditions, confirming that most ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3{^+}-N$) was converted to nitrate nitrogen ($NO_3{^-}-N$). The concentrations of $NH_3{^+}-N$ and $NO_3{^-}-N$ were found to be 222.5 and 227.2 mg/L, respectively, with C-1 conditions and 212.2 and 80.4 mg/L with C-2 conditions. Although C-2 conditions with higher organic matter yielded a slightly higher nitrogen removal efficiency, sufficient denitrification was not observed to meet the discharge standards. For the total nitrogen (T-N) removal efficiency, the final effluent concentrations of T-N were 293.8 mg/L with biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 2,500 mg/L, being about 1.5 times lower than that (445.3 mg/L) with BOD of 2,000 mg/L. Therefore, an external carbon source to increase the C/N ratio was required to get sufficient denitrification. During the winter period with temperature less than $10^{\circ}C$, the denitrification efficiency was dropped rapidly even with a high TKN concentration (1,500 mg/L). This indicates that unit reactors (anoxic/aerobic tanks) for winter need to be installed to increase the hydraulic retention time. Thus, to enhance nitrification and denitrification efficiencies, flexible operations with seasons are recommended for nitrification/anoxic/denitrification tanks.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a solid-liquid separation process that uses fine rising bubbles to remove particles in water. Most of particle-bubble collision occurs in the DAF contact zone. This initial contact considered by the researchers to play a important role for DAF performance. It is hard to make up conceptual model through simple mass balance for estimating collision efficiency in the contact zone because coupled behavior of the solid-liquid-gas phase in DAF system is 90 complicate. In this study, 2-phase(gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. For the modeling of turbulent 2-phase flow in the reactor, the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ mode I(liquid phase) and zero-equation(gas phase) were used in CFD code because it is widely accepted and the coefficients for the model are well established. Particle-bubble collision efficiency was calculated using predicted turbulent energy dissipation rate and gas volume fraction. As the result of this study, the authors concluded that bubble size and recycle ratio play important role for flow pattern change in the reactor. Predicted collision efficiency using CFD showed good agreement with measured removal efficiency in the contact zone. Also, simulation results indicated that collision efficiency at 15% recycle ratio is higher than that of 10% and showed increasing tendency of the collision efficiency according to the decrease of the bubble size.

고농도 입자성 유기 폐수를 대상으로 기존 혐기성 공정인 CSTR과 UASB공정으로 처리 시 불량한 상징수질, 불안정한 운전 특성과 같은 문제점이 제시되었다. 이에 본 연구는 새로운 개념의 ADEPT(Anaerobic Digestion Elutriated Phased Treatment) 공정을 주정폐수에 적용하여 처리 가능성을 평가하였다. CSTR과 ADEPT의 성능 비교 결과 ADEPT공정에서 gas 발생량은 약 2배였으며, 유기물 제거 효율과 고형물 제거 효율 역시 더 높은 효율을 보여주었다. 또한 ADPET는 비교적 짧은 HRT에서도 휘발성 지방산 생성으로 인한 pH 저하의 영향을 받지 않았으며, 안정적으로 pH를 유지하였다. ADEPT의 recycle ratio를 6Qin과 2Qin으로 변화를 주어 운전 시 6Qin의 운전 기간 동안 높은 처리 효율을 보여주었다. 따라서 ADEPT는 짧은 HRT로 인한 경제성 향상과 메탄 발생을 이용한 에너지 회수, 또한 산 생성조에서 생성되는 유기산을 최대로 생산, BNR 공정의 유기 탄소원으로 활용 가치가 있다고 판단된다.

침강조의 중앙에 깔대기 모양의 판을 설치하고 방해판 아래 다시 공기 방울과 CO2 가스의 별도 배출구를 설치하여 상부로의 난류를 방지하므로 침강 효율이 그게 향상되도록 settler를 고안하였다. 이 settler를 설치한 탑형 발효조에서 응집성효모 S.uvarum의 에탄올 생산성을 검토한 결과 방해판을 설치하지 않은 단순한 원통형 settler에 비하여 1.5배 증대되었다. 또한 탑형 발효조에서 살펴본 균체 순환율이 에탄올 생산성에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 균체 순환울 1-5 사이에서는 에탄올 생산성의 변화가 거의 없었으나 6 이상에서는 균체가 유출되므로 에탄올 생산성이 감소하였다.

The internal reflux effect on dialysis through the retentate phase of a countercurrently cross-flow rectangular module is investigated. Theoretical analysis of mass transfer in cross-flow devices with or without recycling is analogous to heat transfer in cross-flow heat exchangers. In contrast to a device without reflux, considerable mass transfer is achievable if cross-flow dialyzers are operated with reflux, which provides an increase in fluid velocity, resulting in a reduction in mass-transfer resistance. It is concluded that reflux can enhance mass transfer, especially for large flow rate and feed-concentration operated under high reflux ratio.
