Laboratory scale experiments were conducted to investigate the removal characteristics of nitrogen and phosphorus in two sequencing batch biofilm reactors (SBBRs). SBBR1 had a short first non-aeration period and SBBR2 had a long first non-aeration period. The removal characteristics of nitrogen and phosphorus in each SBBR were precisely observed according to the variation of influent TOC concentration, and the operation control parameters (pH, DO concentration, ORP) in each reactor were measured. In biological nitrogen removal, there was little difference between SBBR1 and SBBR2 and the nitrogen removal efficiencies were very low. The nitrogen and phosphorus removal characteristics in high influent TOC concentration were different from those in low TOC. Nitrogen removals by simultaneous nitrification/denitrification (SND) were occurred in both SBBR1 and SBBR2. The P removal in SBBR1 was superior to that in SBBR2. The second P release was observed in SBBR1 which had long second non-aeration period.

This study was carried out to get more operational characteristics of Anoxic(anaerobic)-Oxic-Anoxic-Oxic (AO)2 sequencing batch biofilm reactors (SBBRs) at the low TOC concentration. The operating time in anoxic (anaerobic) time to oxic time was 1：1. Experiments were conducted to find the effects of the aeration time distribution on the organic matters and nutrients removal. Three lab-scale reactors were fed with synthetic wastewater based on glucose as carbon source. During studies, the operation mode was fixed. The first aeration time to the second aeration time in SBBR-1 was 2：3, and those in SBBR-2 and SBBR-3 were 1：4 and 3：2, respectively. The organic removal efficiency didn't show large difference among three reactors of different aeration time distribution. However, from these study results, the optimum aeration time distribution in the first and the second aeration time for biological nutrient removal was shown as 3：2. The release of phosphorus was inhibited at the second non-aeration period because of the low TOC concentration and the nitrate produced by the nitrification at the first aeration period.

콩나물 세근 발생 억제용으로 고가의 BA가 주로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 BA처리효과를 극대화하기 위한 aeration에 관한 정보를 제공하고자 BA 용액에 침종된 종자(금성녹두, 어울녹두, 중록1호)를 aeration 기간(1, 2, 3, 4시간)과 온도(20, 30, 40℃ )를 달리하여 처리한 후 6일간 재배된 숙주나물을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 침종 직후부터 첫 관수까지의 aeration기간과 온도에 따른 숙주나물의 생장과 형태는 처리기간의 영향을 크게 받는 반면, 온도의 영향은 아주 미미하였다. 2. Aeration 기간 따른 하배축 길이별 비율에서 중록 1호는 타공시품종에 비하여 7cm 이상의 비율에서 가장 높았고 처리기간간 차이가 거의 없었던 반면, 금성녹두와 어울녹두는 상품화가 가능한 4cm이상의 비율에서 처리기간이 증가할수록 증가되었으며, 비정상개체의 비율은 이와 정반대의 결과를 보였다. 3. 세근발생 비율과 개체당 세근수는 aeration 기간이 길어질수록 감소되었으나 aeration기간이 3시간에서 4시간으로 늘어날 경우 감소 정도가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 4. Aeration기간이 길어질수록 자엽 바로 아래 부분의 하배축 직경이 굵어지고 뿌리 길이는 짧아지는 경향을 보였으나 하배축의 길이와 중간부분의 직경은 aeration기간간에 차이가 없었다. 5. Aeration기간이 길어질수록 하배축의 생체중은 증가하였으나 개체당 전체 생체중은 aeration기간간에 차이가 없었다.

This study was conducted to remove organics and nutrients using 2 stage intermittent aeration reactor. First reactor, using suspended microbial growth in intermittent aeration instead of anaerobic reactor in the typical BNR process, used minimum carbon source to release P, and it was possible to reduce ammonia loading going to second reactor. In the second reactor, using moving media intermittent aeration, it was effective to reduce nitrate in non-aeration time by attached microorganisms having long retention time. In aeration time, nitrification and P uptake were taken place simultaneously. From the experiment, two major results were as follows. First, the removal of organics was more than 90%, and optimum aeration/non-aeration time ratio for organic removal was corresponded with aeration/non-aeration time ratio for nitrogen removal. Second, in the first reactor, optimum aeration/non-aeration time ratio was 15/75 (min.) because it was necessary to maintain 75 min. of non-aeration time to suppress of impediment of return nitrate and to lead release of phosphate. In the second reactor, optimum aeration/non-aeration time ratio was 45/90 (min.).

This study was carried out to obtain the operating characteristics of SMMIAR process for biological nitrogen·phosphorus removal. SMMIAR was operated at HLR(Hydraulic loading rate) of 39.6, 52.8, 63.4 and 79.2ℓ/㎡/d respectively and the operating parameters such as intermittent aeration time ratio of aerobic/anoxic, DO and microorganism concentration were changed to confirm the optimum operating condition. The concentrations of the wastewater BOD, TN(Total nitrogen) and TP(Total phosphorus) were 150, 30 and 7.5㎎/ℓ respectively. Achieving better removal efficiencies of BOD, TN and TP up to 90, 85.4 and 95.4% respectively, we must keep in operation condition of SMMIAR by 0.75 of time ratio of aerobic/anoxic and by minimum 45 minutes of oxic period simultaneously.

Fuzzy algorithm of automatic control for dissolved oxygen(DO) concentration in the aeration tank of an activated sludge process is proposed. Among variables repirometry and air flowrate are selected as significant input factors and the relationship with DO is estimated using a multiple regression model. The DO concentration and the amount of repirometry are fuzzified and the fuzzy rule base are determined. Using the fuzzy algorithm, the change of amount of air flowrate are determined and the change of amount of DO is derived.
