초록

본 연구는 전과정평가 기법으로 석유화학업체에서 발생하는 폐수처리슬러지의 매립처리에 대한 잠재적인 환경영향을 평가하고 매립가스 활용에 의한 환경영향의 저감을 평가하였다. 본 연구의 기능단위는 '폐수처리슬러지 1 ton의 매립'이며, 시스템경계는 폐수처리슬러지가 매립장으로 투입 처리되는 과정을 포함하며 외부에너지 생산 및 이용까지 확장하였다. 환경영향은 매립공정 및 침출수처리공정에서 높게 나타났으며, 지구온난화 및 광화학적산화물생성은 매립공정에서, 자원고갈, 산성화, 부영양화, 오존층파괴는 침출수처리공정에서 높게 나타났다. 영향범주별 주요원인물질은 Crude oil(자원고갈), $NO_X$(산성화, 부영양화), $CH_4$(지구온난화, 광화학적산화물생성), $Cl_2$(오존층파괴) 이었다. 자원고갈, 산성화, 부영양화는 침출수처리과정 중 사용되는 전기의 생산에 의한 부하가 주원인으로 나타났으며, 지구온난화, 광화학적산화물생성은 포집되지 않는 매립가스에 포함된 메탄이 주원인이었다. 이에 매립가스에 의한 전기 생산, 공정개선 등으로 전기사용량을 저감하거나 메탄가스 회수율 향상, Flaring system, 매립가스의 연료대체 등으로 메탄배출량을 저감하는 것이 환경영향을 저감하는 방안이 될 수 있다. 한편, 영향범주별 환경영향은 지구온난화-자원고갈-광화학적산화물생성 순으로 나타나 지구온난화가 약 90% 이상의 절대적 환경영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 환경영향을 줄이는데 메탄의 배출량을 저감하는 것이 전기사용량을 저감하는 것보다 우선순위가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 매립가스의 연료대체에 의한 회피효과를 검토한 결과, B-C유 또는 LNG를 대체할 경우 각각 32.7%, 12.0%의 환경영향을 저감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study evaluated the environmental impacts for landfill treatment of the wastewater treatment sludge (WTS) from petrochemical firms by life cycle assessment (LCA) and reviewed the impact reduction by landfill gas (LFG) utilization. The functional unit was 'landfill of 1 ton of WTS', and the system boundary included the process of input and treatment for WTS in landfill site. The impacts were high at landfill process (LP) and leachate treatment process (LTP). Global warming (GWP) and photochemical oxidants creation (POCP) were high at LP, while abiotic depletion (ADP), acidification (AP), eutrophication (EP), ozone depletion (ODP) were high at LTP. The major substances of various impact categories were crude oil (ADP), $NO_X$ (AP, EP), $CH_4$ (GWP, POCP), $Cl_2$ (ODP), respectively. The major factor of ADP, AP, EP was attributed from the generation of electricity used in LTP, and the methane within uncollected LFG was main factor of GWP and POCP. Therefore, electricity consumption reduction is identified to be an impact improvement option, and the flaring system installation or enhanced LFG recovery could be an alternative to reduce impacts. Among the various categories, GWP accounted the highest impact (${\geq}90%$) followed by ADP, POCP. In the avoidance impact resulted from the utilization of LFG, to substitute B-C oil or LNG showed the impact reduction of 32.7% and 12.0%, respectively.
