본 연구에서는 2기의 부직포 여과막 생물반응조를 60분/60분의 포기/비포기 시간비에서 교대로 포기시키고 폐수를 주입시키면서 C/N비(COD/TKN)를 10에서 2까지 점감시켜 유입수의 C/N비가 유기물 및 질소 제거효율에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 실험에 사용된 폐수는 I시의 음식물 쓰레기 처리장에서 배출되는 침출수를 COD가 약 2,500 mg/L 정도 되도록 20배 희석시킨 것으로, C/N비는 염화암모늄($NH_4Cl$)을 첨가하여 조정하였다. 실험결과, $10{\sim}3$의 C/N비에서는 유출수의 COD 및 BOD 농도가 각각 $40{\sim}54\;mg/L$ 및 $1{\sim}4\;mg/L$로 나타났으며, 처리수의 SS농도는 항상 2.0 mg/L 미만으로 유지되었다. $10{\sim}5$의 C/N비에서는 96%의 총질소 제거효율를 보였으나 3 및 2.8의 C/N비에서는 총질소 제거효율이 각각 83% 및 81%로 낮아졌다. 2 및 2.6의 C/N비에서는 암모니아 독성에 의하여 처리수의 수질이 악화되었다. C/N비가 5에서 2.6으로 낮아질수록 질산화 미생물 분율이 10%에서 20%로 증가하였다. 알칼리도 소비량은 $10{\sim}5$의 C/N비에서는 $3.12{\sim}3.49\;g$ alkalinity/g T-N removed로 이론적인 값 3.57 g alkalinity/g T-N removed보다 낮았으나, 3 및 2.8의 C/N비에서는 4.63 및 4.87 g alkalinity/g T-N removed로 나타났다.

AF(anaerobic filter)/BAF(biological aerated filter) system and UASB(upflow anaerobic sludge blanket)/BAF system, of which system effluents were recirculated to the anaerobic reactors in each system, were operated in order to investigate the performance in simultaneous removal of organics and nitrogen in high-strength dairy wastewater. Advanced anaerobic treatment processes of AF and UASB were evaluated on applicability as pre-denitrification reactors, and BAF was also evaluated on the performance in oxidizing the remaining organics and ammonia nitrogen. At system HRTs of 4.0 to 4.5 days and recirculation ratios of one to three, the AF/BAF system could achieve more than 99% of organics removals and 64 to 78% of total nitrogen removals depending upon the recirculation ratio. Although the UASB/BAF system also showed more than 99% of organics removals, total nitrogen removals in the UASB/BAF system were 53 to 66% which are lower than those in the AF/BAF system at the corresponding recirculation ratios. Optimum recirculation ratios considering simultaneous removal of organics and nitrogen and cost-effectiveness, were in the range of two to three. The upflow AF packed with crossflow module media, as a primary treatment of the anaerobic reactor/BAF system, showed better performances in denitrification, SS removals, and gas production than the UASB. Higher loading rate of suspended solids from the UASB increased the backwashing times in the following BAF. Especially, at a recirculation ratio of three in the UASB/BAF system, the increase in head loss due to clogging in the BAF caused frequent backwashing, at least once d day. The BAF showed the high nitrification efficiency of average 99.2% and organics removals more than 90% at organics loading rate less than $1.4KgCOD/m^3/d$ and $COD/NH_3-N$ ratio less than 6.4. It was proved that the simplified anaerobic reactor/BAF system could maximize the organics removal and achieve high nitrogen removal efficiencies through recirculation of system effluents to the anaerobic reactor. The AF/BAF system can, especially, be a cost effective and competitive alternative for the simultaneous removal of organics ana nitrogen from wastewaters.
