Abstract

A concentration meter is widely used at purification plants, sewage treatment plants and waste water treatment plants to sort and transfer high concentration sludge and to control the amount of chemical input. This study has been prepared for improving efficiency of operation on sludge processes and to establish a basic for factory automation by accuracy improvement and problem solution of sludge concentration meter. The concentration meter's accuracy and stability is improved by applying multi-beam sensors and minimum deviation linear average filtering. Furthermore maintenance without cut-off of water in sludge operation is possible by detachable sensors. The performance of multi-beam concentration meter has been variously verified by the pilot plant experiment.

정수장, 하수처리장, 폐수처리장의 배출수 처리공정에서 고 농도의 슬러지 선별, 이송 및 약품 투입량 조절을 위한 기준으로 슬러지 농도계가 사용되고 있다. 본 논문은 슬러지 농도계의 정도 향상과 문제점 개선을 통해 배출수 처리공정의 운영 효율화와 자동화 기반을 마련하고자 한다. 센서를 다중빔으로 설계 및 최소편차 선형평균 필터링을 적용하여 농도계의 정도 향상과 안정성을 실현하였으며, 부단수 방식의 센서 착탈 설계로 배출수 시설 운영중에도 유지관리가 가능토록 하였다. 이렇게 구현된 다중빔 방식 슬러지 농도계의 성능을 Pilot Plant를 통하여 다양하게 검증하였다.
