해안에 위치한 대부분의 하수 처리장의 처리수는 직접 또는 하천을 통해 해안으로 배출된다. 따라서, 하수 처리장에서 배출되는 처리수의 수질은 하천 및 해안으로 방류되는 수질에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 연안에 인접한 하수처리장으로부터 배출되는 처리수가 연안 환경에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 현장조사와 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 해안에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 처리수가 방류된 하천 및 하구 주변에서 채수된 시료로 수질과 저질을 분석한 결과, 하수처리장에서 배출된 처리수는 설계기준을 초과하지 않은 상태로 하천으로 방류되고 있으나, 하구를 통해 해안으로 방류되는 수질은 처리수보다 오염된 상태였다. 해안방류수의 수질악화에 대한 원인은 하구 주변에서 나타난 연안표사에 의해 하구가 일시적으로 퇴적되고, 하구폐색 현상이 발생하여, 하구에서의 정체시간이 증가함에 따라 처리수가 유입된 하천수가 하계에 부영양화되어 방류됨에 따라, 하구 주변에서 저질, 수질 및 해양 생물에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 연안표사가 강한 동해안의 경우, 해양으로 방류되는 하수처리시설을 계획할 경우, 연안표사에 의한 하구폐색과 같은 처리수의 수질에 미치는 영향에 대한 면밀한 검토가 반드시 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

With the introduction of the tele-monitoring system (TMS) in South Korea, monitoring of the concentration of pollutants discharged from nationwide water quality TMS attachments is possible. In addition, the Ministry of Environment is implementing a smart sewage system program that combines ICT technology with wastewater treatment plants. Thus, many institutions are adopting the automatic operation technique which uses process operation factors and TMS data of sewage treatment plants. As a part of the preliminary study, a multilayer perceptron (MLP) analysis method was applied to TMS data to identify predictability degree. TMS data were designated as independent variables, and each pollutant was considered as an independent variables. To verify the validity of the prediction, root mean square error analysis was conducted. TMS data from two public sewage treatment plants in Chungnam were used. The values of RMSE in SS, T-N, and COD predictions (excluding T-P) in treatment plant A showed an error range of 10%, and in the case of treatment plant B, all items showed an error exceeding 20%. If the total amount of data used MLP analysis increases, the predictability of MLP analysis is expected to increase further.

This present study was aimed to investigate the characteristics of dissoloved organic matter (DOC) in sewage. The results are summarized as follows ; The plateaux reached in 3~4 days by the biodegradability test on sewage samples based on DOC. 쏭 rations of BDOC to DOC were 48, 21, 13 and 11% for raw sewage, primary treatment effluent, secondary treatment effluent and final treatment effluent, respectively. As the SUVA values ranged less 3L/m.mg for the effluent of sewage treatment plant, the DOC is composed largely of non-humic materials, hydrophilic, less aromatic as compared to waters with higher SUVA values. Through the biodegradability test, Dissolved organics showed that the quantity of LMW(Low Molecular Weight) less than 1,000 daltons was decreased, HMW(High Molecular Weight) more than 30,000 daltons had a tendency to increase. Large portion of UV$^{254}$ in final treatment effluent was increased of MMW(Medium Molecular Weight). Also, average removal efficiency of DOC was 32% during sewage treatment.

도시배수시스템에서는 초기유출수(first flush)에 의한 하천오염이 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이는 강우발생시 강우에 의해 도시지역의 비점오염원들에 의해서 오염물이 하수관거로 유입되고 한정된 하수처리장의 용량으로는 제대로 처리하지 못하는 월류수에 의해 하천의 수질이 악화되기 때문이다. 대상유역으로 선정한 경기도 구리시 돌다리분구는 합류식 관거로 이루어져 있어 우기시 강우에 의한 월류가 발생할 확률이 높다. 월류에 의해 인근 왕숙천의 수질오염이 가중될 우려가 있어 적절한 처리시설의 설치가 필요하였다. 기존의 CSOs 설계에서는 강우의 최대치를 이용하여 설계가 연구되었다. 그러나, 강우의 최대치를 이용한 설계는 시설의 과다계획으로 이어져 많은 예산낭비를 초래할 수 있으며, 처리시설의 적정규모를 산정하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 강우특성을 분석하여 매개변수들을 산정하고 이에 따른 유출분석을 실시하였다. 또한 위험도를 고려한 강우-유출분석을 이용하여 유출량을 계산하였다. 유출량을 포함한 유출특성에 의해 월류특성을 분석하였다. 왕숙천 BOD 오염농도를 기준으로 설계하기 위해 하수처리장 용량별 처리시설 요구효율을 산정하였으며 현재 하수처리장의 하수처리를 고려하여 간이 CSOs 처리시설의 효율을 71.48%로 하여 설계하였다.

In this study, sewage were treated with operating Two-step Aeration System and conventional activated sludge process together in a condition. At the same HRT 8hr of Two-step Aeration System and Activated Sludge Process, BOD treatment efficiency of 1st sedimentation basin effluent 36.9% by Two-step Aeration system was 12.3% higher than 24.65 by Activated Sludge Process and the COD treatment efficiency 39.8% by two-step Aeration System was 11.6.3% higher than 28.2% by Activated Sludge Process. BOD and COD treatment efficiencies of 2nd sedimentation basin effluent were 88.1% and 85.6% Two-step Aeration System and were 83.8% and 82.3% Activated Sludge Process. In the first treatment, as BOD was relatively removed a lot, F/M ratio 0.17, $0.21{\cdot}BOD/kg{\cdot}MLSS.d$ was maintained by Activated Sludge Process. Therefore it was proved that organic matter treatment efficiency by Two-step Aeration System os Higher than by Activated Sludge Process in a aeration time 8hr. $NH_4^{+}-N$ treatment efficiencies were 55.5% by Two-step Aeration System and 39.75 by Activated sludge Process. $NO_3^{-}-N$ concentration in 2nd. sedimentation basin effluent were 3.33% by Two-step Aeration System and 2.36% by Activated Sludge Process. From this result, Two-step Aeration System was proved more advantageous treatment process for nitrification than Activated Sludge Process. The fluctuation range of BOD, COD and SS concentration in 2nd sedimentation basin effluent $16~33mg/{\ell}$, $15~23mg/{\ell}$ and $14~22mg/{\ell}$ by Two-step Aeration System was smaller than $16~57mg/{\ell}$, $15~25mg/{\ell}$ by Activated sludge Process. Overall the fluctuation range in 2nd sediment basin effluent by was smaller than by Activated Sludge Process. As a result, it is possible for this Two-step Aeration with no facility investment and a little of operation condition change in a conventional sewage treatment plant to get stability and nitrification of treatment water quality.

To figure out the removal efficiency of indicator and pathogenic bacteria by unit processes of a sewage treatment plant using activated sludge process, analyses were done for incoming sewage, influent and effluent of primary clarifier, aeration tank, secondary clarifier and final discharge conduit of the plant. A matrix of bacterial items (average of bacterial reduction [log/ml], p value of paired t-test, number of decreased cases of twenty analyses, removal percentage only for decreased cases) between incoming sewage and final effluent of the plant were heterotrophic plate counts (1.54, 0.000, 20, 95.01), total coliforms (1.38, 0.000, 19, 83.94), fecal coliforms (0.90, 0.000, 20, 94.84), fecal streptococci (0.90, 0.000, 20, 98.08), presumptive Salmonella (0.23, 0.561, 7, 99.09), and presumptive Shigella (1.02, 0.002, 15, 92.98). Total coliforms, fecal coliforms, heterotrophic plate counts, and fecal streptococci showed highest decrease through secondary clarifier about 1-log (p<0.001) between 88% and 96%, and primary clarifier represented the significant (p<0.05) decrease. However, final effluent through discharge conduit showed higher total coliforms and fecal streptococci than effluent of secondary clarifier (p<0.05). In addition, final effluent once violated the water quality standard while effluent of secondary clarifier satisfied the standard. Hence some control measures including elimination of deposits in discharge conduit or disinfection of final effluent are necessary.

This study was conducted to investigate the possible installation of small hydro-power plant at the discharge point of Gumi sewage treatment plant (STP) using treated wastewater. Sufficient amount of water to transfer to electric power and the selection of proper location are two essential elements for the construction of small hydro-power facility. Preliminary analysis based on site visit and existing data in Gumi STP were made. Capacity of the small hydro-power plants and exact location were determined by geomorphological condition and flow duration characteristics. Flow duration characteristics and its duration curve were identified using monthly rainfall data in Gumi STP. Relevant facts of small hydro-power system in other STP were referred to adopt to Gumi STP situation. Flowrate of treated effluents and effective head between flow chamber and the location of hydraulic turbine in Gumi STP are found to be $3.70m^3$/sec and 3.5m respectively. Electric generation rate based on this feasibility study was estimated to be 86.3kW/h. Yearly electric generation rate was expected to be 932.4MMh. Proposed small hydro-power plant construction in Gumi STP is to be reasonable.

Many radionuclides exist in normal environment and artificial radionuclides also can be detected. The radionuclides ($^{131}I$) are widely used for labeling compounds and radiation therapy. In Korea, the radionuclide ($^{131}I$) is produced at the Radioisotope Production Facility (RIPF) at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute in Daejeon. The residents around the RIPF assume that $^{131}I$ detected in environmental samples is produced from RIPF. To ensure the safety of the residents, the radioactive concentration of $^{131}I$ near the RIPF was investigated by monitoring environmental samples along the Gap River. The selected geographical places are near the nuclear installation, another possible location for $^{131}I$ detection, and downstream of the Gap River. The first selected places are the "front gate of KAERI", and the "Donghwa bridge". The second selected place is the sewage treatment plant. Therefore, the Wonchon bridge is selected for the upstream of the plant and the sewage treatment plant is selected for the downstream of the plant. The last selected places are the downstream where the two paths converged, which is Yongshin bridge (in front of the cogeneration plant). In these places, environmental samples, including sediment, fish, surface water, and aquatic plants, were collected. In this study, the radioactive iodine ($^{131}I$) detection along the Gap River will be investigated.
