Abstract

So many nationwide drinking water treatment plants are under much difficulties by new reinforced discharged effluent standards. Generally, the sludge at thickener should be retended for a long time during usual days. Sometime, the soluble manganese and chloroform may be formed under the anaerobic condition in the sludge thickener when the sludge retention time is longer with low turbidity. This phenomenon results in difficulties to keep regulatory level of the discharged effluent. It was necessary to improve the operation conditions and process itself in order to meet water quality standard recently reinforced. For an effort to overcome the problems, a sludge aeration was successfully implemented into the thickening process. Sludge aeration prevent particle oxidated Manganese eluting soluble de-oxidated Manganese, excrete formated Chloroform from effluent to air, and improve sludge settling through homogenized sludge particle. We aerated sludge at the conventional water treatment plant, measured Manganese and Chloroform of clarified water at upper sludge, and solid-fluid interface height of sludge in mass cylinder. As a result, contaminant's concentrations of the final effluent was much decreased : 41% of manganese, approximately 62% of chloroform and 35% of sludge volume, compared with non-aeration sludge.

전 국가적으로 많은 정수장에서는 강화된 수질기준을 준수하는데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 일반적으로 정수장 배출수처리시설은 고탁도를 기준으로 설계되기 때문에, 평상시에는 설계된 기간보다 장기간 체류할 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 평균 혹은 저탁도 원수가 유입되는 대부분 기간 동안 슬러지는 농축조에서 장기체류하기 때문에 혐기화되어, 용해성 망간 및 클로로포름이 형성된다. 위 문제를 해결하기 위해서 경제적이고, 손쉽게 도입 가능한 슬러지 폭기 공법을 개발하였으며, 본 연구는 이 공법의 원리 및 효과를 분석한 것이다. 슬러지 폭기 공법의 원리는 산화된 입자성 망간이 용해성 망간으로 환원되는 것을 방지하며, 생성된 클로로포름을 대기중으로 배출 제거시키며, 슬러지 입자를 균질화 시켜 침강성을 개선하는 것이다. 위 공법의 효과분석을 위하여 정수장 농축조에서 슬러지를 폭기시킨 후 상징수의 망간 및 클로로포름을 측정하고, 슬러지의 고-액 계면의 높이를 측정한 결과, 비폭기 경우에 비해 망간은 41%, 클로로포름은 62% 슬러지 부피는 35% 감소되는 효과를 얻었다.
