Researcher of this study improved conventional circle secondary settling basin, through the way such as extend of inlet pipe length, introduction of device for inducting uniforming of flow, keeping of height of sludge interface. Also, we compared conventional circle settling basin to improved circle settling basin the water treatment efficiency. Result of research, when SVI is average 117, improvement rate of SS and BOD were 51.0%, 37.0% approximately compared to conventional settling basin. And when SVI is average 178, improvement rate of SS and BOD were 22.7%, 36.0% approximately. Also when SVI is average 196, improvement rate of SS and BOD were 24.7%, 30.3% approximately. When it’s winter, improvement rate of SS, BOD, COD, TN and TP were 20.6%, 17.9%, 13.9%, 13.5%, 12.4% approximately. Therefore, we can be the judge, this improved settling basin can be used as the final settling basin in the waste water treatment plant.

In order to suggest the methodology for improving the equity of flow distribution in open channel with multiple outlet, CFD simulations were carried out for actual scale distribution channel being operated in domestic G_WTP(Water Treatment Plant). Also, before and after installing the longitudinal multi hole(diameter=250 mm, 116 holes) baffle suggested by this research, turbidity measurements data were collected for evaluating the effects of hydraulic modification for inlet flow equity. From the both results, total turbidity of settled water was lowered by 30 % and equity of flow distribution was improved about 60 % compared with before hydraulic structure modification.

One-dimensional flux theory (1DFT) is conventionally used for design of secondary clarifier of wastewater treatment plant. However, the 1DFT cannot describe turbulence, density current, shape parameters of the clarifier. In this study, we optimized the configurations of influent guide baffle and effluent baffle through the simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and its verification by particle image velocity (PIV) test. The energy dissipating inlet (EDI) without influent guide baffle (0°) showed the best efficiency for minimizing downward velocity under the center well of the clarifier. The lowest velocity distribution around the effluent weir region could be obtained with the McKinney baffle (EB-2). The performances of the influent and effluent baffles were clearly verified by PIV test results.

The present study has measured the velocity distribution in a three-dimensional shape model of the rectangular settling tank using PIV system. The experiment system consists of hi-speed camera, laser and host computer. Reynolds number based on the guide wall height(H=25mm) has been applied during the whole experiments. The results showed that recirculation flow in settling tank exists and a internal flow weakly influenced by Reynolds number at Re=5×103 greater.

침전지는 수처리 공정에서 중요한 조작 중 하나이며, 침전지내에서는 응집과 침전이 일어남에 따라 입자의 크기분포가 변하는 복잡한 현상이 발생한다. 따라서 침전지의 효율적인 설계나 운영을 위해서는 이러한 현상에 대해 이해해야만 하며, 침전효율의 극대화를 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 침전지내의 흐름을 모의하기 위하여 범용 CFD 프로그램인 FLUENT를 이용하였으며, 침전효율을 평가하기 위하여 FLUENT에서 제공되는 입자추적기법을 사용하였다. 또한

하수 처리수의 재이용을 위하여 표준활성슬러지법에 의한 생물학적 처리 후 최종침전지 유출수를 급속여과공정으로 처리하기 위한 Pilot Plant 실험연구가 수행되었다. 또한, 활성슬러지와 연계된 급속여과공정과 포기조 후단에 응집제를 주입하는 활성슬러지 이후 급속여과 처리하는 공정과의 비교 실험도 행해졌다. 최종침전지 유출수를 급속여과공정으로 처리한 경우 여과속도는 100m/day, 여과지속시간은 40시간 이하로 운전하는 것이 타당한 것으로 나타났으며, 여

본 논문에서는 방사성 동위원소를 사용하여 침전지내에서의 흐름 및 플럭의 이동특성에 관한 연구를 실시하였다. 흐름 이동특성 실험을 위하여는 Tc-99m 동위원소를, 플럭이동 특성실험을 위하여는 벤토나이트에 Tc-99m 동위원소를 흡착시킨 재료가 사용되었다. 흐름 이동특성 실험결과 침전지내 위치에 따라 유속이 상이하고 깊이에 따라서도 유속이 상이한 흐름임이 밝혀졌다. 또한, 침전지 유입 유량이 변화할 때 플럭의 이동거리가 상이하며, 유량이 증가할수록 침전위
