We studied the possibility on the application of the Thermophilic Aerobic Oxidation (TAO) process to anaerobic digestate stabilization. In treating digestate with TAO reactor the internal temperature of the reactor was increasing higher and $51^{\circ}C$ and over was maintained after 6 days on. The physiochemical compositions of liquids increased from pH 8.1 to 9.8 and EC decreased from 29.8 to 12.0 mS/cm in treating process of digestate with TAO reactor. CODcr decreased from 22,654 to 18,843 mg/L, showed about 16.82% of remove efficiency. TN and $NH_4-N$ decreased from 4,813 to 1,733 mg/L, from 3,815 to 812 mg/L respectively, which showed about 64.0% and 78.7% of removal efficiency respectively.

Two combined autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) and biofilter (BF) systems were operated to treat the piggery wastewater and the ammonia offgas. Experimental results indicated that the organic removal efficiency of ATAD-2, operated with oxygen, was higher than that of ATAD-1, operated with air. The concentration of ammonia in ATAD-2 offgas was higher compared to ATAD-1 offgas, but the total amount of ammonia produced from ATAD-2 was less than that from ATAD-1 due to the lower oxygen flowrate. The ammonia gas produced from both ATAD reactors was successfully removed by the BF. The BF-1, connected with ATAD-1, removed 93% of ammonia at the loading rate of $9.4g\;NH_3-N/m^3/hr$. The BF-2, connected with ATAD-2, removed 95% of ammonia gas at the loading rate of $8.1g\;NH_3-N/m^3/hr$. As the nitrification process continued, pH value of recirculating solution continuously decreased due to the accumulation of nitrate. When the ammonia loading rate was less than $22.7g\;NH_3-N/m^3/h$, the proper replacing cycle of recirculating solution was in the range of 10 to 11 days. Almost 90% of total mass of nitrogen fed into the each BF was confirmed from the mass balance on nitrogen.

This study was carried out to find deodorization management method of the efflux from swine slurry treated by thermophilic aerobic oxidation reactor. Three kinds of deodorization methods in Lab-scale reactors, were used in this experiment; No treatment, air injection treatment(50$m\ell$ air/min. $\ell$) and inoculumn of photrophic bacteria treatement(108 cell(Most probable number, MPN)/$m\ell$). The concentration of volatile fatty acids(VFAs), hydrogen sulfide(H2S), and ammonia(NH3) were analyzed during the treatment period(50 days). The major results obtained as follows. 1. Air injection method to efflux showed very high removal effect on malodorants such as VFAs, hydrogen sulfide(H2B). But ammonia(NH3) was emitted to much. 2. PTB inoculum method was also effective in removal of malodorants, VFAs, Hydrogen sulfide(H2S), when it was applied to the efflux. 3. We found that the concentrations of malodorants, VFAs, H2S, NH3 had some relatinships with the pH, ORP, BOD in the efflux.

본 연구에서는 음식물류 폐기물 자원화 과정에서 생성되는 고농도 음폐수(food wastewater : FWW)를 대상으로 기존의 혐기성 공정의 대안책으로써 고온호기성 소화공정에 대한 성능을 검증하였고 공정 인자를 도출하였다. 이를 위해 수리학적 체류시간(Hydraulic retention time, HRT) 변화 및 유기물 부하량(Organic loading rate, OLR)에 따른 유기물 제거 효율과 안정성을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 비교적 짧은 HRT를 가진 R1 (HRT : 5일)의 경우 OLR이 증가할 때, 급격한 pH감소가 일어나 심한 공정 저해를 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 반면 R2 (HRT : 10일)의 경우에는 상대적으로 안정적인 공정 운전 및 효율적인 COD, 유기산 및 lipid 제거가 일어났다. 이는 상대적으로 긴 HRT로 인한 유기산 축적과 같은 공정저해 요인이 해결되어 상대적으로 높은 유기물 처리효율을 나타낸 것으로 생각된다. R1에서는 COD 부하량이 $18.6kgCOD/m^3d$에서 $28.4kgCOD/m^3d$으로 증가함에 따라 급격한 COD 제거율 감소를 보였다. 반면 R2에서는 각 OLR별로 3.61, 7.05, 9.43 그리고 $12.2kgCOD/m^3d$의 높은 COD 제거율을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 10일 이상의 HRT에서 고온 호기성 소화가 고농도 음폐수 처리에 탁월한 유기물 제거율을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 양돈 분뇨를 고온호기산화장치(TAO)를 이용하여 처리하였을 때, 고온 미생물 의 첨가에 의한 온도 상승과 시스템의 내부 미생물 변화 그리고 유해 미생물의 불활성화에 대하여 연구하였다. 실험은 총 용량 $18 m^3(3.0\times2.5\times2.4 m)$의 반응기에 양돈 분뇨 $6 m^3$을 투입하고 5$\~$7일간 운전하였다. 대조구는 양돈 분뇨만을 투입하였고 처리구는 6 $\iota$의 고온 미생물(Bacillus. sp)을 투입하였다. 반응기의 내부 미생물의 변화를 검토하기 위해서 호기성 중온균, 고온균 그리고 일반 세균을 분석하였다. 또한, 유해 미생물의 불활성화를 검토하기 위하여 E. coil, Salmonella. sp, Crytosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia를 분석하였다. 대조구와 처리구의 운전기간 동안 반응기 내부의 온도 범위는 $18\~66^{\circ}C$로 $55^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 온도를 유지하였다. 미생물 변화에 있어서 대조구의 중온균과 고온균은 $3.1\times10^6\~1.2\times10^2$ CFU/ml, $1.0\times10^4\~8.0\times10^1$ CFU/ml로 감소하였으나 처리구의 경우, 중온균은 $3.0\times10^8\~8.6\times10^5$ CFU/ml로 감소하였으나 고온균은 $2.0\times10^6\~1.2\times10^8$ CFU/ml로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Salmonella와 Giardia는 처리 전$\cdot$후에 검출되지 않았으며 E. coil와 Crytosporidium은 처리전 양성반응을 나타내었으나 처리 후 불활성화 되었다. 이상의 결과를 통해서, 우리는 TAO system에 고온 미생물을 첨가함으로써 유해한 미생물이 사멸된 액상비료를 생산할 수 있었고 분뇨로부터 기인하는 2차 오염을 방지할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

TAO system was applied to treatment of piiggery slurry. In the experiments, the volume of influx was differentiated in four types. The features of operation, evaporation rate, and efficiency of successive treatment were drawn. The results are; 1. During the operation, the inside temperature was maintained at over $60^{\circ}C$ with the highest $70.2^{\circ}C$. 2. The evaporation rate of influx volume was 31.4%. And the evaporation volume of per square meter was $108{\;}\ell/\textrm{m}^2$; slightly different from $120{\;}\ell/\textrm{m}^2$ of batch type. 3. The VFAs was decreased by 95% (from $1,538lmg/{\ell}$ in influx to $72.9mg/{\ell}$ in Efflux). Thus, successive operation of TAO system is considered to be possible.

Since there are very limited numbers of thermophilic anaerobic digesters being operated, it is often difficult to start up a new one using sludge from an existing reactor as a seed. However, for obvious reasons it seems few attempts have been made to compare the start-up performance of thermophilic anaerobic digestion using different sources of seed sludges. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the start-up performance of anaerobic digestion using aerobic Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) from a plant and mesophilic Anaerobic Digested Sludge (ADS) as the seed source at both mesophilic ($35^{\circ}C$) and thermophilic ($55^{\circ}C$) temperatures. In this study, two experiments were conducted. First, thermophilic anaerobic reactors were seeded with WAS (VSS = 4,400 mg/L) and ADS (VSS = 14,500 mg/L) to investigate start-up performance with a feed of acetate as well as propionate. The results show that WAS started to produce $CH_4$ soon after acetate feeding without a lag time, while ADS had a lag time of 10 days. When the feed was changed to propionate, WAS removed propionate down to below the detection limit of 10 mg/L, while ADS removed little propionate and produced little $CH_4$. Second, in order to further compare the methanogenic activity of WAS and ADS, both mesophilic and thermophilic reactors were operated. WAS acclimated to anaerobic conditions shortly and after acclimating it produced more $CH_4$ than ADS. WAS at mesophilic temperature biodegraded acetate at the same rate as for thermophilic. However WAS at mesophilic temperature biodegraded propionate at a much faster rate than at thermophilic. WAS as the seed source of anaerobic digestion resulted in much better performance than ADS at both mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures for both acetate and propionate metabolism.

남은 음식물을 기질로 생균사료를 생산하기위하여 고온성 세균에 의한 호기적 액체 발효가 시도되었다. 토양이나 남은 음식물들로부터 11종의 고온성 세균이 $55^{\circ}C$에서의 진탕배양에 의해 분리되었다. 이들 분리균 들의 기질분해능을 평가하기위해 배양액 중에서의 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 와 protease효소역가를 측정 비교하였다. 이 결과 6종의 세균이 선택되었고 남은 음식물 기질 적응력을 높이기 위해 반복 배양을 실시하였다. 발효말기에서의 생균농도는 대부분 $3{\sim}7{\times}10^9/ml$에 이르렀다. 이들 중 B3, B6가 가장 높은 효소역가를 나타냈다. B3, B6, 그리고 분양받은 균주인 Bacillus Stearothermophillus를 2L-jar fermenter를 이용해 혼합발효시킨 결과발효개시 8시간 내에 생균수가 $1.4{\times}10^{10}/ml$에 이르렀다.

Anaerobic digestion has many advantages over the more conventional aerobic treatment processes such as low levels of excess sludge production, low space (area) requirements, and the production of valuable biogas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of organic loading rate of anaerobic digestion on thermophilic($55^{\circ}C$) and mesophilic($35^{\circ}C$) conditions. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) method was also used to study the microbial community in the reactors. The stabilizing time in mesophilic anaerobic reactors was shorter as approximately 20 days than 40 days in the thermophilic anaerobic reactors. The amount of methane production rate in anaerobic reactors was independent of the concentrations of supplied substrates and the amount of methanogens. When the microbial diversity in the mesophilic and thermophilic reactors, which had been treated with acetate-based artificial wastewater, were compared, it was found that methanogenesis was carried out by microbial consortia consisting of bacteria and archaea such as methanogens. To investigate the activity of bacterial and archaeal populations in all anaerobic reactors, the amount of acetate was measured. Archaea were predominant in all reactors. Interestingly, Methanothrix-like methanogens appeared in mesophilic anaerobic reactors with high feed substrate concentrations, whereas it was not observed in thermophilic anaerobic reactors.
