To acquire preliminary data for the control of total nitrogen (TN) in S sewage treatment plant, which processes merging food waste and sewage, the effect of reject water on the total nitrogen in the effluent was examined in this study. Water quality data for the plant during the winter period were applied to calculate the mass balance. It was calculated that at least more than 231 kg/d TN should be removed to control the TN concentration in the effluent. Assuming 18 ppm as the goal TN concentration in the effluent, about 941 kg/d TN should be removed from this plant. Approximately 10% more TN should be removed than at present to achieve this result. It was observed that dewatering the filtrate had a considerably greater effect on the total nitrogen in the effluent than the reject waters. The dewatered filtrate contained 1,399kg/d TN. The contribution of the dewatered filtrate to the TN concentration in the effluent was 0.183, which was 7 to 23 times greater than the other reject waters. In addition, the amount of total nitrogen from the reject water, with the exception of the dewatering filtrate, was lower than the amount of TN that should be removed from S sewage treatment plant. Therefore, it was concluded that one of the most effective methods for controlling the TN concentration in effluent was the removal of the TN contained in the dewatering filtrate.

다양화되는 물 수요와 기상 이변 등의 영향으로 극심해지는 가뭄에 대비하여 대체 수자원의 확보는 수자원 연구의 매우 중요한 부분이 되었다. 다양한 대체 수자원 중 하수처리장의 방류수는 양호한 수질과 비교적 예측이 가능한 방류량으로 인해 농업용수나 공업용수 혹은 공공용수를 대체할 안정적인 수원으로 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하수처리수 재이용을 위해 미래의 불확실한 용수 수요량을 고려한 최소의 공사비를 최적화하는 방법을 이진변수를 가지는 2단계
