Abstract

This study was conducted to develop the biofilter fur reducing ammonia $(NH_3)$ and hydrogen sulfide $(H_2S)$ gas emission from a pig house. A biofilter was designed and constructed by a type of squeeze air into the column type of air flow upward. Its column size was ${\Phi}260{\times}360mm$. It was used pressure drop gauge, turbo blower, air temperature, velocity sensor and control program that was programed by LabWindows CVI 5.5. Mixing materials were consisted with composted pine tree bark and perlite with 7:3 ratio (volume). The biofilter media inoculated with ammonia (Rhodococcus equi A3) and hydrogen sulfide (Alcaligenes sp. S5-5.2) oxidizing microorganisms was installed in a commercial pig house to analyzed the effectiveness of biogas removal for 10 days. Removal rates of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gases were 90.8% and 81.5%, respectively. This result suggests that the pine compost-perlite mixture biofilter is effective and economic for reducing ammonia ana hydrogen sulfide gases.

국내에서 구입이 용이한 부숙수피와 펄라이트를 부피비 7:3으로 혼합하여 혼합충전재에 암모니아 산화균 Rhodococcus equi A3와 황 산화균 Alcaligenes sp. S5-5.2를 접종한 후, 개발한 양압식 상향류 방식의 바이오필터에 혼합충전재를 충전하여 돈사에서 발생하는 암모니아 및 황화수소에 대한 악취가스 제거성능을 실험을 실시하였다. 혼합충전재에 미생물을 접종한 후 72시간동안 순치하였을 때의 미생물 생균수와 24시간 간격으로 측정하였을 때의 미생물 생균수가 거의 같은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 개발한 바이오필터가 미생물의 생육조건을 유지하는데 성공했다고 판단된다. 또한 암모니아 가스의 유입농도는 평균 $22.8{\pm}5.2mgL^{-1}$이었고, 배출농도는 평균 $2.1{\pm}0.3mgL^{-1}$, 제거율은 90.8%이었다. 흐리고 황화수소의 유입농도는 평균 $2.7{\pm}1.2mgL^{-1}$이었고, 배출농도는 $0.5{\pm}0.2mgL^{-1}$, 제거율은 81.5%로 비교적 높았다. 이와 같이 부숙수피와 펄라이트를 혼합하여 만든 혼합충전재를 충전한 바이오필터가 악취가스 제거율이 비교적 높고 가격이 저렴한 것을 고려해 볼 때, 기존의 다른 충전재을 이용한 바이오필터보다 개발한 바이오필터가 양돈가에서 이용하는데 유리한 것으로 판단된다.
