Abstract

This study investigated the effect of concentrate of membrane filtration of sewage reuse facilities on bioreactor's microorganisms in sewage treatment facility, and concentrate was analyzed, oxygen uptake rate and continuous activated sludge experiment were performed. As a results, the concentration of organic matter and TP concentration in concentrate was closely related to the concentration of SS and the concentration of ionic substances in concentrate was higher in order of $Cl^-$ > $Na^+$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $K^+$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $F^-$. And the analysis value of analytical items was greatly fluctuated according to sampling time of concentrate. Result of OUR test according to the mixing ratio of concentrate to sewage, it was found that the concentrate acts as an organic matter in the activated sludge microorganism and it increases with the increase of the concentrate mixing ratio. As a result of continuous activated sludge experiment, MLSS concentration, organic removal efficiency and TN removal efficiency gradually decreased with increasing concentrate mixing ratio. Based on the experimental results, expected mixing ratio of concentrate to affect the treatment efficiency of activated sludge is 25%.

하수재이용시설 막여과 농축수가 하수처리장 생물반응조 미생물에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 기 운영 중인 하수재이용시설 농축수를 채취 분석하고 농축수 주입에 따른 산소섭취율 변화 및 연속식 활성슬러지 실험을 수행하였다. 기 운영 중인 하수재이용시설 농축수를 분석한 결과 농축수의 유기물과 T-P 농도는 SS 농도와 밀접한 관계가 있고 농축수 내의 이온성 물질은 $Cl^-$ > $Na^+$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $K^+$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $F^-$순으로 높게 나타났으며 농축수의 항목별 분석값은 농축수 채취시기에 따라 크게 변함을 알 수 있었다. 농축수 비율에 따른 미생물 산소섭취율(OUR) 실험을 실시한 결과 농축수 비율이 증가함에 따라 농축수가 활성슬러지 미생물에 유기물로 작용하여 산소섭취율이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며 OUR 실험만으로는 독성영향을 주는 농축수 비율을 산정할 수 없었다. 연속 활성슬러지 실험을 실시한 결과 농축수 주입비율이 증가함에 따라 MLSS 농도, 유기물 제거효율 그리고 T-N 제거효율은 서서히 감소하였다. 따라서, 실험결과 농축수가 활성슬러지의 처리효율에 영향을 주기 시작하는 주입비율은 25% 이상인 것으로 판단된다.
