Abstract

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) occurs concurrently in the same reactor under micro dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions. Anaerobic zone was applied for phosphorus release prior to an aerated membrane bio-reactor (MBR), and anoxic zone was installed by placing a baffle in the MBR for enhancing denitrification even in high DO concentration in the MBR. Phosphorus removal was tested by alum coagulation in the anaerobic reactor preceding to MBR. DO concentration were 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.75 mg/L in the MBR at different operating stages for finding optimum DO concentration in MBR for nitrogen removal by SND. pH was maintained at 7.0~8.0 without addition of alkaline solution even with alum addition due to high alkalinity in the raw sewage. Both TCODcr and $NH_4^+$-N removal efficiency were over 90% at all DO concentration. TN removal efficiencies were 50, 51, 54, 66% at DO concentration of 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.75 mg/L, respectively. At DO concentration of 0.75 mg/L with addition of alum, TN removal efficiency decreased to 54%. TP removal efficiency increased from 29% to 95% by adding alum to anaerobic reactor. The period of chemical backwashing of the membrane module increased from 15~20 days to 40~50 days after addition of alum.

동시 질산화 탈질은 미세 용존 산소하에 한 반응조내에서 일어난다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 인 방출을 위해 공기가 공급되는 MBR 전단에 혐기성 존을 만들어주었으며, 높은 DO 농도에서 탈질효율을 향상시켜 주기 위해서는 MBR 내에 배플을 설치하여 무산소 존이 이루어지게 하였다. 그리고 인 제거를 위한 테스트는 MBR 전단의 혐기성 반응조에 알럼 응집제를 투입하여 수행하였다. 질소 제거를 위한 SND의 최적 DO 농도 도출은 MBR 내 DO 농도를 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.75 mg/L의 다양한 조건에서의 운전을 통해 수행하였다. 심지어 높은 알칼리성 하수라 알럼 응집제를 투입하였을 때 알칼리 용액 첨가 없이도 pH는 7.0~8.0로 유지되었다. TCODcr와 $NH_4^+$-N의 제거 효율은 모든 DO 농도에서 90% 이상이었다. DO 농도 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.75 mg/L에서의 TN 제거효율은 각각 50, 51, 54, 66%이었다. DO 농도 0.75 mg/L 조건에서 알럼을 첨가한 결과 TN 제거효율은 54%로 감소하였다. 혐기성 반응조에 알럼을 투입한 결과 TP 제거효율은 29%에서 95%로 향상되었다. 그리고 알럼 투입 후 분리막 모듈의 화학적 세정 주기는 15~20일부터 40~50일으로 늘어났다.
