Abstract

To obtain basic design criteria for underground anaerobic digestion and enhance biogas production from swine slurry, a $20m^3$ underground anaerobic digester (UGAD) was constructed and operated at mesophilic ($31{\sim}37^{\circ}C$) temperature with an organic loading rate (OLR) at $23.6kgVS/m^3/day$. The average biogas and $CH_4$ production rate were observed at 8.62 and $5.78m^3/day$, respectively. The mean percentile of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ were also observed at 67.5% and 19.6%. The relative biogas yield was explored at $733L/kg\;VS_{added}$ and $CH_4$ yield was at $495L/kg\;VS_{added}$ respectively. The removal rate of biochemical constituents and pathogens were noticed considerably at 68%, 74%, 79%, 86%, 89%, 81%, 55%, 79%, 98% and 100% on TS, VS, TSS, $BOD_5$, $TCOD_{cr}$, $SCOD_{cr}$, $NH_3-N$, available P, fecal coliforms and Salmonella, respectively. This study suggested that, the modified UGAD system is a greatly desirable for anaerobic digestion for swine slurry with regards to high methane yield and biodegradability.

겨울과 여름의 평균 기온차가 무려 $32^{\circ}C$에 이르는 우리나라에서 외부환경의 영향을 감소시킬 수 있는 유기성 폐자원의 지하혐기조 효율에 관한 연구는 매우 중요하다. 돈슬러리의 지하혐기소화조의 설계인자를 구명(究明)하기 위하여 수원소재 서울대 부속목장에 $20m^3$의 용량 소화조 pilot plant를 설계, 제작하여 유기물부하율(OLR) $23.6kgVS/m^3$/일을 인입하여 종온($31{\sim}37^{\circ}C$)으로 약 40일간 운전하였다. 평균 $CH_4$ 생성율은 $5.78{\sim}8.62m^3$/일로 분석되었으며, 바이오가스의 주(主)구성가스는 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 로서 각각 67.5%, 19.6%로 나타났다. 바이오가스 생성율은 $733L/kg\;VS_{added}$, $CH_4$ 생성량은 $495L/kg\;VS_{added}$ 분석되었다. 돈슬러리의 혐기소화공정 후 돈슬러리의 생화학적 요인, 즉, TS, VS, TSS, $BOD_5$, $TCOD_{cr}$, $SCOD_{cr}$, $NH_3-N$, available P과 병원성 미생물, 즉, fecal coliforms and Salmonella는 각각 68%, 74%, 79%, 86%, 89%, 81%, 55%, 79% 감소되었으며, 미생물은 98%, 100% 사멸되었다. 본 연구에서 변형 UGAD는 돈슬러리의 바이오가스 생성과 생화학적 요인의 농도저감효과가 높은 것으로 관찰되어 산업화를 위하여 향후 심도있는 연구가 필요하다.
