인은 자연계에서 부영양화 현상을 일으키는 주요한 인자로서 하수중의 인은 주로 인축적 미생물의 과잉섭취에 의해 제거된다. 이 연구의 목적은 인을 처리하는 하수처리공정을 제어하는 것이다. 이를 위해서 본 연구에서는 두가지의 제어방법을 응용하였으며 이 방법은 최적제어(Optimal control)와 적응제어(Adaptive control)이다. 우선 최적제어는 유입수중의 인농도를 측정한 이후에 간략화된 ASM No. 2 모델을 이용하여 유출수중의 인농도가 1.0 mg/L가 되는 포기시간을 산정하고 이 산정된 포기시간에 따라 반응조를 제어함으로써 이루어진다. 그런데 실제 반응조를 최적제어로 한 경우에도 실제 유출수중의 인농도는 1.0 mg/L가 되지 않는 경우가 발생한다. 이 때에는 적응제어로서 목표로 한 1.0 mg/L를 벗어난 만큼 목표농도를 변화시켜 주며 제어를 실시하였다. 약 한달간의 제어결과 유출수중의 인농도는 0.2$sim$3.2 mg/L이었으며 평균은 1.0 mg/L로서 만족스러웠다. 연구수행중 하수처리공정에서 두 번에 걸쳐 인섭취가 제한되는 현상이 발생하였다. 이에 대한 원인을 규명한 결과 원인은 암모니아의 부족과 과다한 포기가 원인인 것으로 나타났다.
Phosphate is the limiting factor leading to the eutrophication in nature and has been usually removed by the luxury uptake of PAOs(Phosphate accumulating organisms). The purpose of this study was the control of wastewater treatment removing phosphorus. The control of wastewater treatment process was performed by optimal and adaptive control. They were performed as followings. Firstly the inflow phosphate concentration was measured and the optimal aeration time was calculated by simplified ASM No. 2 for the phosphate to be 1.0 mg/L in effluent. It was optimal control. But when the phosphate concentration in effluent was not 1.0 mg/L, adaptive control was necessary to coincide the objective of control with real value. Then it was performed as the objective phosphate concentration in effluent was changed according to calculation of errors and it was adaptive control. The wastewater treatment process had been controlled by them for about one month. The range of phosphate concentration in effluent 0.2$sim$3.2 mg/L and the average of it was 1.0 mg/L. The limitation of luxury uptake occurred two times while wastewater treatment process was running. After the analysis of laboratory tests, we knew the reasons were the shortage of ammonia nitrogen and the excessive aeration.
