The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of sewerage facilities through I/I analysis by rainfall by selecting areas where storm overflow diverging chamber is remained due to the non-maintenance drainage equipment when the sewerage system was reconstructed as a separate sewer system. Research has shown that wet weather flow(WWF) increased from 106.2% to 154.8% compared to dry weather flow(DWF) in intercepting sewers, and that the WWF increased from 122.4% to 257.6% in comparison to DWF in storm overflow diverging chamber. As a result, owing to storm overflow diverging chamber of partially separate sewer system with untreated tributary of sewage treatment plant, rainfall-derived infiltration/inflow(RDII) has been analyzed 2.7 times higher than the areas without storm overflow diverging chamber. Meanwhile, infiltration quantity of this study area was relatively higher than that of other study areas. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce infiltration quantity through sewer pipe maintenance nearby river. Drainage equipment maintenance should be performed not to operate storm overflow diverging chamber in order to handle the appropriate sewage treatment plant capacity for rainfall because it is also expected that RDII due to rain will occur after maintenance. In conclusion, it is necessary to recognize aRDII(allowance of rainfall-derived infiltration/inflow) and to be reflected it on sewage treatment plant capacity because aRDII can occur even after maintenance to the complete separate sewer system.
As sewer flooding frequents due to localized and concentrated stormwater and increased non-permeable surface area after urbanization, building cities with sound water recycle and accordingly efficient management of rainwater is demanded. To do this, the existing sewage (including rainwater) fee imposition system should be philosophically evaluated. This study presents problematic issues of the existing domestic sewage fee imposition system considering the principle of sharing costs on the service of sewage and rainwater collection and treatment. Four methods to improve the existing sewage fee imposition system are suggested: 1) imposing stormwater fee according to Polluter Pays Principle, 2) clarification of the share of public sector, 3) reducing or exempting the sewerage fee for inhabitants reducing urban runoff by constructing their own rainwater management facilities, 4) imposing charge for discharging rainwater to sewers due to new development action. Short, mid, or long term planning for rainwater management is recommended considering the situation of each municipality.
본 논문에서는 시스템 다이내믹스(System Dynamics, SD) 방법론에 입각하여 하수도 시스템의 운영지표들과 이에 영향을 미치는 외부변수들로 구성된 피드백 루프 메커니즘(Feedback Loop Mechanism)을 관로유지관리와 연관하여 규명하고, 외부변수의 변화에 따른 운영지표의 변화를 예측함으로써 하수도 시스템의 효율적인 운영 및 유지관리 방안을 모색할 수 있는 SD 컴퓨터 모의 모형(Computer Simulation Model)을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형에 부산광역시 하수도 시스템의 과거 운영 자료를 적용함으로써 모형을 검증하였고, 미래의 운영 상황을 예측하였다. 그 결과, 하수도보급률은 이미 목표치에 거의 도달하여 큰 변동이 없을 것으로 예측되었으며, 하수처리효율과 하수처리량, 요금현실화율은 점차 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 정책 지렛대의 발견을 위해 시스템에 큰 영향을 미치는 주요 운영지표를 선정하여 외부변수의 변화에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였는데, 그 결과 관로 유지관리와 연관된 외부변수는 하수처리효율의 변화뿐만 아니라 시설이용률, 하수처리량 등의 변화에도 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of electrochemical (EC) disinfection of artificial wastewater contaminated by Escherichia coli culture. Circulated batch type electrochemical disinfection system using three plates electrodes was used. Also, the several factors (pH, ORP, DO, temperature, current, conductivity) were measured in order to investigate the fundamental design factor in the EC disinfection system. It was demonstrated that the EC process was highly effective for wastewater disinfection. At the constant voltage, the disinfection efficiency was increased according to time. The disinfection efficiency and current increased as the increase of voltage. The variation of conductivity was a little related to the variation of CFU (colony forming units). The differences in disinfection efficiency according to the ice pack and the variation of electrodes were not occurred. The EC disinfection efficiency and current increased according to the increase of circulating flow rate.
An evaluation of the application of SBR and biofilm on small sewerage system was conducted. A newly developed small sewerage system, using SBR, was successfully applied to the nutrient treatment using municipal wastewater. The system was consisted of 6 compartments. Two systems, with SBR (A type) or without SBR (B type), were compared by several parameters (COD, SS, T-N, NH4+-N, NO3--N, NO2--N, alkalinity, pH, DO) in all experimental periods. Also, the time variation of several parameters (DO, pH, NH4+-N, NO3--N, NO2--N) was examined in a SBR applied sewerage system. T-N removal efficiency of B type was higher than that of A type by the effect of nitrification and denitrification even though the COD removal efficiencies were similar. In aeration stage, the pH was decreased from 6.4 to 6.3 within 1 h and increased to 6.65 at the end of aerobic stage, and pH was decreased to 6.2 in non-aeration stage, and these phenomena were explained. The effects of nitrification and denitrification were compared in A type and B type sewerage system, and the typical nitrificaion and denitrification were observed in B type sewerage system.
