Abstract
Experiments in a pilot-scale hybrid multi-stage unit system (HMUS) combination of ATAD and EGSB followed by SBR process for pig slurry treatment were conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of using autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) and expended granular sludge bed (EGSB) followed by sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system. Contaminants in pig slurry with high organic matter, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) content were completely removed in the combined process. The highest removal rate for CODcr among contaminants in the feed pig slurry was attained by about 43.3% in ATAD unit process. Also TS removal rate of 96.5% was attained and the highest in the next coagulation unit process. The highest removal rate of CODcr under operating parameter conditions of OLR(organic loading rate), 3-6Kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}day$ and line velocity, 1.5-4m/h was earned at 3days of HRT. The disinfection of pathogens was effective at 50,000mg/L of TS in ATAD unit process. Biogas production per organic removal was $2.3{\sim}8.5m^3/kgTS{\cdot}d$ (average $5.2m^3/kgTS{\cdot}d$) in EGSB unit process. The average removal rates of CODcr 71.7%, TS 64.1%, TN 45.9%, and TP 50.4% were earned in the intermittent aeration SBR unit process.
현장 실규모의 다단공정으로 ATAD, EGSB 및 SBR을 조합한 HMUS 공정을 이용하여 돼지 축분 처리가능성을 시험하였다. 실험결과 고농도 유기물, 질소와 인의 제거에 효과적이었다. 각 오염항목의 시스템 공정별 처리효율이 ATAD 공정에서는 CODcr이 43.3%로 제일 높게 나타났다. 다음 단계인 응집침전 공정에서는 TS의 제거효율이 96.5%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 운전조건 중 OLR은 3-6Kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}day$ 및 선속도는 1.5-4 m/h의 범위일 때 평균 CODcr 제거 효율은 HRT 3일에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 유입수의 성상이 영향을 미치는 고온호기성 산화반응은 TS가 50,000 mg/L 이상 되어야 고온발열효과를 얻어 병원균을 사멸할 수 있는 온도를 얻었다. EGSB 공정을 거치는 동안 유기물제거량 당 발생된 가스발생량은 $2.3{\sim}8.5m^3/kgTS{\cdot}d$ (평균 $5.2m^3/kgTS{\cdot}d$)로 나타났다. 후처리단계인 간헐포기공정에서 전체운전기간 중 평균제거효율은 CODcr 71.7%, TS 64.1%, TN 45.9%, 및 TP 50.4% 로 나타났다.
