This study has been conducted to investigate biodegradation characteristics and optimum mixing ratio for co-digestion with thermophilic acid-fermented food waste and sewage sludge using batch anaerobic digester. As the basis operating conditions for anaerobic digestion, the reaction temperature was controlled $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and stirrer was set 70rpm. Thermophilic acid-fermented food waste and sewage sludge were mixed at the ratio of 10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 0:10 and 5;5(food waste : sewage sludge) as the influent substrates. In results of co-digestion according to mixing ratio of thermophilic fermented food wastes and sewage sludge in batch mesophilic anaerobic digestion reactor, $385mL\;CH_4/g\;VS_{added}$ of methane production rate at 1:1 mixing ratio was more than that of any other mixing ratios. Compared with $293mL\;CH_4/g\;VS_{added}$ of methane production rate at 1:1 mixing ratio of food wastes and sewage sludge, pretreatment of food wastes by thermophilic acid fermentation was more effective in co-digestion with sewage sludge.

Waste activated sludge (WAS) was thermally pretreated to enhance hydrolysis and ultimately methane yield. Batch and semi-continuous anaerobic digestion were conducted to evaluate the performance of methane fermentation of the hydrolyzed sludge and to investigate the kinetics of sludge fermentation. Thermal pretreatment remarkably enhanced digestion performances particularly the methane fermentation with three times more methane production than before the pretreatment. Gas production and kinetic parameters in the semi-continuous anaerobic digestion were estimated using Chen Hashimoto model. The model simulation fitted well the experimental results and the model was shown to be suitable for evaluating the effects of disintegration of WAS in anaerobic digestion. Three parameters ($B_o$, K, and ${\mu}_m$) determined by model simulation were $0.0807L-CH_4/g-VS$, 0.453 and $0.154d^{-1}$ for control sludge, and $0.253L-CH_4/g-VS$, 0.835 and $0.218d^{-1}$ for thermally pretreated sludge, respectively.

This study have cross checked the change of internal sludge-recycle in Full-scale Anaerobic-Digestion, and researched about not only the improvement of Bio-gas production from the digested sludge but also the efficient method of sludge minimization. Ultimate aim of the study is to reduce the amount of sludge by the improved efficiency of contact with the organic-matter and the microbes in Anaerobic-Digestion. The sludge-recycle fluidized sludge layer and raised the activity of the sludge, The sludge-recycle ratio of optimum was 500%, VS and COD removal ratio respectively appeared with 67.8% and 70.4%. Through these result of this study, it may be positive view to treat waste sludge by the sludge-recycle ratio in terms of minimization and circulation of resources.

The retrofitting of a thickening unit process is widely considered in municipal wastewater treatment plants in Korea to enhance the anaerobic digestion efficiency. The authors examined the effect of feed concentration (2-34.1 g VS/L) and feed to microorganism (F/M) ratio (0.50-1.35 g VS/g VS) on anaerobic batch digestion of sewage sludge. Methane yield over 90 mL $CH_4/g$ $VS_{feed}$ was found at a feed concentration in the range of 12-26 g VS/L and a F/M ratio below 0.6 g VS/g VS. A high F/M ratio decreased methane yield and rate with oragnic acid accumulation. As sudden increase of sewage sludge concentration prior to anaerobic digestion would jeopardize the digester performance due to the rasied F/M ratio, gradual increase of the sludge feed concentration or an additional biomass retention in the digester is recommended.

This study was carried out to treat textile wastewater using anaerobic sludge and aerobic fixed-bed biofilm reactor immobilized with Bacillus sp. dominated activated sludge(Bacillus sp. fraction : 81.5%). The range of influent con-centration of SCOD and soluble color were 1032-1507 mg/1, and 1239-1854 degree, respectively. Continuous treatment experiments were performed with variation of textile wastewater ratio at a same HRT. When textile wastewater ratio was 100%(HRT : 24 hours), The removal efficiency of SCOD and soluble color were 88% and 78%, respectively. When compare aerobic reactor of this study that was immobilized with Bacillus sp. dominated activated sludge to other study that was immobilized with activated sludge, SCOD and soluble color removal efficiency of this study showed a little higher efficiency than immobilized with activated sludge. The Bacillus sp. fraction of initial condition was 81.5%), but the fraction after operation was decreased to 31.8%).

재생 원료인 바이오매스를 이용한 에너지 생산에 있어서 경제성은 가장 중요한 인자 중 하나이다. 이러한 관점에서 슬러지 혐기소화에 의해 생산되는 바이오가스는 다른 바이오매스에 비해 매우 저렴하며 처분 비용 절감으로 얻는 이익이 부가적으로 발생하기 때문에 경제성이 매우 높다. 슬러지 혐기소화에서 기질의 가수분해 속도는 전체 소화 성능을 결정짓는 인자이며 혐기소화 속도를 향상시키기 위한 슬러지 전처리 기술이 많이 개발되었다. 슬러지 전처리는 생물학적, 열 가수분해, 초음파, 기계적 방법 등 다양한 기술이 실제 시설에 적용되었다. 전처리는 슬러지 가용화를 촉진하고 고형물을 감소시키면서 바이오가스 생산을 늘리는 등 혐기소화 효율을 향상시켰다. 본문에서는 전처리 방법의 기술적 특성을 소개하고 각 전처리 방법의 에너지 수지와 경제성을 비교하여 적절한 전처리 기술을 선정하기 위한 기준을 마련하고자 하였다. 조사 결과 고온 혐기소화와 열 가수분해가 가장 경제성이 높고 다음으로 Cell rupture$^{TM}$, OpenCEL$^{TM}$, MicroSludge$^{TM}$, 초음파의 순서로 평가되었다. 경제성 평가에 있어서 슬러지의 최종 처분 비용이 가장 큰 요소가 되며 따라서 최종 처분 슬러지의 수분 함량이 경제성 평가에 결정적인 역할을 하였다.

본 연구에서는 혐기성 슬러지의 적응 기질에 따른 탈질능력을 관찰하고자 탄소기질로서 포도당 이외에 기질등을 사용하여 탈질 및 메탄반응의 변화 및 SDNR(Specific Denitrification Rate) 등을 관찰하였다. 순수 메탄생성 슬러지에서 아세테이트를 사용하였을 경우, SMA 값은 $0.76gCOD/g{\cdot}VSS{\cdot}day$로 가장 높았고, SDNR 측정결과 탈질균의 비율이 상대적으로 높은 C/N 비 5에 적응된 슬러지에서 아세테이트를 탄소기질로 사용하였을 경우에 가장 높은 $1.38g{\cdot}NO_3{^-}N/g{\cdot}VSS{\cdot}day$이었다. 혐기성 탈질반응 및 메탄 생성반응은 탄소기질 및 슬러지의 종류에 따라 영향을 받았고, C/N 비 5에 적응된 슬러지에서 다른 탄소기질보다 아세테이트를 사용하였을 경우에 탈질반응상수 값은 $1.96hr^{-1}$로 가장 높았다. 다양한 탄소기질에 적응된 혐기성 슬러지에 포도당을 전자공여체로 이용하여 비탈질속도(SDNR)를 측정한 결과 포도당, 축산폐수, 아세테이트 기질에 적응된 슬러지 순으로 나타났다. 탄소기질에 대한 미생물의 적응여부와 혐기성 소화공정 각 단계에서 성장하는 미생물군(bio-community)의 상호공생관계가 탈질 속도를 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The Oxic-Settling-Anaerobic (OSA) treatment process, a modified Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) process, was developed for the purpose of sludge reduction. The insertion of a sludge holding tank into a sludge return line, an anaerobic reactor, forming an OSA process, may provide a cost-effective way of reducing excess sludge production during a process. The OSA process was evaluated for its sludge reduction ability by kinetic parameter and mass balance, with an observed excess sludge reduction of 63.5%, as $P_{X.VSS}$, compared with the conventional activated sludge process.

침출수 순환형 음식물류 폐기물 혐기성 소화 공법은 기존의 일상 혐기성 소화 공법에 비해 투입되는 유기물 부하량 대비 발생하는 메탄가스 수율이 높다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 분리 수거된 교내 기숙사 식당 음식물류 폐기물과 하수처리장 혐기성 소화조의 혐기성 미생물을 이용하여 신재생 에너지인 메탄가스를 더욱 효율적으로 얻기 위해 음식물류 폐기물/혐기성 슬러지 비를 달리하여 실험을 실시하였다. 음식물류 폐기물/혐기성 슬러지 비가 2:8이고 유기물 부하율이 9 gVS/L인 침출수 순환형 음식물류 혐기성 소화 반응조의 바이오 가스 발생이 가장 높았다. 또한 이 혐기성 반응조에서 발생하는 바이오가스 내부의 $H_2S$와 $NH_3$가 지속적으로 감소하였고 바이오 가스의 수율은 평균 $1.395m^3$ Biogas/kg VS added로 나타났다. 이에 비해 나머지 음식물류 폐기물/혐기성 슬러지 비가 3:7, 8:2인 실험의 반응조에서는 바이오 가스 발생이 멈추었다.

We investigated the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) reaction in a lab-stale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. Our aim was to detect and enrich the organisms responsible for the anammox reaction using a synthetic medium that contained low concentrations of substrates (ammonium and nitrite). The reactor was inoculated with granular sludge collected from a full-scale anaerobic digestor used for treating brewery wastewater The experiment was performed during 260 days under conditions of constant ammonium concentration ($50\;mg\;NH_4^+-N/L$) and different nitrite concentrations ($50{\~}150\;mg\;NO_2-N/L$). After 200 days, anammox activity was observed in the system. The microorganisms involved in this anammox reaction were identified as Candidatus B. Anammoxidans and K. Stuttgartiensis using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH ) method.
