The deposition of solids in combined sewer systems results in a loss of flow capacity that may restrict flow and cause a local flooding and enhanced solids deposition. In order to solve these problems and proper pipe management, estimation of solid loads from sewer and surface in a drainage basin is needed but this task is very difficult and extremely expensive. In this study, generalized procedures for estimating sewer solid loads during dry weather in combined sewer systems and for estimating solid loads on surface in a drainage basin developed by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency were applied and analyzed in Gunja drainage basin in Korea. As result, the estimated solid loads from sewer and surface are 205.8,759kg/yr and 1,321,993kg/yr respectively, and total solid loads is 1,527,752kg/yr. The estimated solid removal from street cleaning, dredging from pipe system and pumping house is 1,486,636kg/yr. Therefore, the applied methods show resonable results. More reliable estimation can be achieved if long-term measurements and adjustment of estimation equations are carried out, and this estimation methods can be used usefully for the management of combined sewer system with reduction of cost and effort.

The deposition of solids in combined sewer systems results in a loss of flow capacity that may restrict flow and cause a local flooding and enhanced solids deposition. In order to solve these problems and proper pipe management, estimations of solid loads on land surface in a drainage basin and solid deposition in sewer system due to rainfall are needed but these tasks are very difficult and very expensive. In this study, procedures for estimating solid loads on surface in a drainage basin were applied and analyzed in Gunja drainage basin in Korea. Also, this paper presents the development and application of estimation equation for solid deposition in sewer system due to rainfall based on the solid deposition estimated using MOUSE model. As results, the comparison between estimated and measured solid deposition is difficult due to the absent of measured data, but the estimated values using developed equations show applicability compared with the results of MOUSE model and the application of the other basin. The developed estimation equations can be used usefully for the management of combined sewer system.

Combined sewer solid deposition during dry weather periods and their resuspension during wet weather periods has long been recognized as a major contributor to the first-flush phenomenon. Also, these deposition of sewer solids results in a loss of flow capacity that may restrict flow and cause a local flooding at urban area. In order to solve these problems, measurement of solid deposition for a given sewer system for extended period is needed but this task is very difficult and extremely expensive. This paper presents the development and applicability of estimation equations for solid deposition in sewer systems based on the solid deposition estimated using MOUSE model. As results, the comparison between estimated and measured solid deposition is difficult due to the absent of measured data, but the estimated values using developed equations show applicability compared with the results of MOUSE model and the estimation equations developed by the EPA.

운전 온도 $35^{\circ}C$, 평균 유기물부하 $3.1{\;}kgCOD/m^3/day$ 및 수리학적체류시간 10일에서 혐기성 연속회분식공정에 의한 분뇨처리를 수행하였다. 공정의 평가는 대조 소화조로 완전혼합형의 소화조와 병행하여 수행되었다. 본 실험에서 분뇨는 고농도의 암모니아성 질소와 침전성 고형물을 함유하고 있음에도 불구하고 희석 없이 소화가 가능하였다. 혐기성 연속회분식공정에서 고형물은 급속하게 증가하여 완전혼합형의 대조 소화조에 비하여 소화조내 고형물(biomass)의 농도가 2.4배로 증가하였고, 가스발생량에 있어서도 대조 소화조에 비해 현격한 증가를 보였으며 그 증가율은 205~220%에 달했다. 부가적인 침전 시설이 없이도 혐기성 연속회분식공정의 유출수질이 대조 소화조 보다 높게 나타났는데 상징액 기준으로 휘발성고형물 제거율은 혐기성 연속회분식공정이 대조 소화조 보다 12~14% 높았다. 한편, 혐기성 연속회분식공정의 운전인자로 반응/침강비(R/T ratio)를 조사한 결과 R/T비가 1인 경우가 3의 경우보다 가스발생량, 메탄함량 및 유기물 제거율이 약간 높았으나 큰 차이는 없었다. 위의 실험결과들로부터 혐기성 연속회분식공정은 고농도의 암모니아성 질소와 침전성 유기물을 함유하고 있는 분뇨의 처리에 효과적이고 안정적인 공정으로 판단된다.

Serial basic tests were conducted for the determination of fundamental kinetics and for the actual application of kinetic parameter to food waste digestion with precise measurement of methane production under a thermophilic condition. The effects of food particle size, sodium ion concentration, and volatile solid (VS) loading rate on the anaerobic thermophilic food waste digestion process were investigated. Results of serial test for the determination of fundamental kinetic coefficients showed the value of k (maximum substrate utilization rate coefficient) and KS (half-saturation coefficient) as $0.24hr^{-1}$ and $700mg/{\ell}$, respectively, for non-inhibiting organic loading range. No inhibition effect was shown until $5g/{\ell}$ of sodium ion concentration was applied to a serum bottle reactor. However, the volume of methane gas was decreased gradually when the concentrations of more than $5g/{\ell}$ of sodium ion applied. All sizes of food waste particle showed the same constants (A : 0.45) but the maximum substrate utilization rate constant ($k_{HA}$) was inversely proportional to particle size. As an average particle size increased from 1.02 mm to 2.14 mm, $k_{HA}$ decreased from $0.0033hr^{-1}$ to $0.0015hr^{-1}$. The result reveals that particle size is one of the most important factors in anaerobic food waste digestion. There was no inhibition effect of sodium ion when VS loading rate was $30g/{\ell}$. And maximum injection concentration of VS loading rate was determined about $40g/{\ell}$.

An experimental research was performed employing the two stage anaerobic digestion of the mixture of the nightsoil and septic tank sludge to determine the effects of various hydraulic retention time of the digestion on chemical characteristics and treatment effeciency, thus determining the proper retention time. Results of the research are as follows, 1. Volatile-acid decreased as HRT increased. 2. Alklinity and ammonia-N tended to increase as HRT increased as did pH values, however, were observed to be constant at higher HRT values than 15 days. 3. The removal efficiencies of TBOD, TCOD and VS increased as HRT increased. 4. The removal efficiency of volatile solid decreased as VS loading increased. 5. It was observed that the rates of gas production were: 0.33 with HRT of 5 days, 0.58 with HRT of 15 days and $0.57m^3/kg$ VS fed/day with HRT of 25 days respectively. It is believed that the highest rate of gas production was at HRT of 15 days. 6. The sludge settling experiment showed that the minimum settling time required to ensure the desired underflow concentraton was estimated to be 8.6 days.

우리나라 생활폐기물 중 음식물쓰레기는 가장 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 또한, 음식물쓰레기에서 발생되는 음폐수의 발생량은 8,926톤/일에 달하고 있지만, 이 중 극히 일부만이 하수처리장 등에서 병합 처리되고 있고 대부분은 해양 투기되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 독일 GBU사로부터 중온/습식/이상 혐기성 소화 기술을 도입하여 HADS Pilot Plant를 설치하였고, 2008년 3월부터 국내 음폐수 및 음식물쓰레기에 적합한 최적의 운전기술을 확보하기 위한 Pilot Test를 실시하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 HADS Pilot Plant는 산발효조($6m^3$), 메탄발효조($50m^3$), 안정화조/가스저장조($40m^3$)그리고 가스 소각기로 구성되어 있다. 그리고 적용 음폐수 및 음식물쓰레기는 경기도 Y군에 위치한 사료화 시설에 반입되는 것을 이용하였는데 음폐수는 평균 TS 13.5%, VS 80%, pH $3.7{\pm}0.2$의 성상을 나타내었다. 이를 이용해 계단식으로 유기물 부하를 증가시키면서 $4kgVS/m^3/d$까지 적용하며 중온 상태에서 혐기성 소화를 실시한 결과, $0.8Nm^3/kgVS_{rem}/d$의 바이오가스 회수 및 85%의 VS 감량이 가능함을 확인하였다. 그리고 음식물쓰레기는 음폐수와 달리 1차 파쇄/선별기 및 배관상에 설치되는 2차 미세파쇄/선별기를 통한 전처리를 실시하였고, 1차 파쇄/선별 후 평균적으로 TS가 17.4%, VS는 81%, pH는 $3.85{\pm}0.2$의 성상을 나타내는 음식물쓰레기를 2차 미세파쇄/선별기를 거쳐 Pilot Plant의 산발효조에 투입하여 중온상태에서 혐기성 소화를 실시하였다. 음폐수 적용시와 마찬가지로 계단식으로 유기물 부하를 증량하면서 $4kgVS/m^3/d$까지 적용하여 운전하였고, 그 결과 약 $0.9{\sim}1.2Nm^3/kgVS_{rem}/d$의 바이오가스 회수와 85~87%의 VS 감량 효율을 확인하였다. 음폐수와 음식물쓰레기의 혐기성 소화 실험 결과, 제거된 VS량을 기준으로 보았을 때, 음식물쓰레기에서 더 많은 바이오가스 발생하였는데 이는 음식물쓰레기에 존재하는 고형물이 미생물들의 서식 공간으로 활용됨에 따라 혐기성 소화 과정에서 일어나는 혼합 발효 및 공영양 대사가 음폐수 대비 좀 더 수월하게 일어날 수 있게 된 데에 따른 결과라고 생각된다. 당사의 HADS Pilot Plant test에서는 계단식의 순차적인 유기물 부하 증량과 총VFA/총 알카리도 비율을 0.3~0.4 수준이하로 유지하며 운전함에 따라 음폐수와 음식물 모두에서 안정적으로 $4kgVS/m^3/d$까지의 유기물 부하 적용이 가능하였다. 또한, 생산된 바이오가스 내 메탄의 함량은 60~65%를 유지하였으며, 메탄발효조의 pH는 별도의 조절이 없이도 운전기간 동안 평균 7.8~7.9 수준을 유지하였다. 이처럼 pH 3.7~3.8의 음폐수 또는 음식물쓰레기의 투입에도 안정적인 완충능력을 보여준 것은 소화조 내에서 기질로부터 분해되어져 나오는 암모니아와 이산화탄소가 강력한 버퍼 시스템을 구축하고 있음에 따른 결과로 사료된다. 그리고 음폐수와 음식물쓰레기의 경우 모두 85%이상의 높은 VS 제거율을 보여주었는데 이는 당사의 HADS Pilot Plant 소화조의 구조가 내통과 외통으로 구분되어져 있음에 따라 plug flow + CSTR의 특징을 가짐에 따른 결과로 판단된다. 상기한 결과를 바탕으로 향후에는 $5kgVS/m^3/d$ 수준의 유기물 부하 적용운전도 계획하고 있다.
