The removal efficiencies and a total oxygen transfer coefficient for food waste leachate(FWL) were estimated by using Jet Loop Reactor(JLR). Pure oxygen was used instead of air to improve oxygen concentration in the JLR for high total chemical oxygen demamd(TCOD) in FWL. In JLB, in order to examining the oxygen transfer characteristic, the circulation flowrate and oxygen flowrate were controlled with 7~10 L/min(1.5 L/min interval) and 0.2~0.5 L/min (0.1 L/min interval) and we experimented according to the each condition. As a result, Oxygen uptake rate(OUR) and oxygen transfer rate could be maximized than the oxygen flowrate to increase the circulation flowrate. In addition, it determined that JLR using the pure oxygen which can obtain the greatest oxygen transfer rate as it was the high-concentration organic wastewater like the food waste leachate through the continuous experiment was appropriate.

Batch cultivations were performed to evaluate the influences of the initial pH condition on mesophilic and thermophilic acidogenic fermentation with food waste recycling wastewater. In both conditions of mesophilic and thermophilic fermentation, TVFAs production rates were maximized at the initial pH 7 condition as 0.15 and 0.23 g TVFAs/L hr, respectively. And pH was also maintained stably between 6 and 7 during 72hr acidogenic cultivation at both conditions. However, predominant VFA components were different according to reaction temperature conditions. In mesophilic condition, propionic acid which has low conversion efficiency to methane was accumulated up to 1,348 mg/L while acetic and butyric acid were predominant in thermophilic condition. Therefore, thermophilic acidogenic fermentation was superior for the effective VFAs production than mesophilic condition. From the DGGE analysis, the band patterns were different according to the initial pH conditions but the correlations of the each band were increased in similar pH conditions. These results mean that microbial communities were certainly affected by the initial pH condition. Consequently, the adjustment of the initial pH to neutral region and thermophilic operation are needed to enhance acidogenic fermentation of food waste recycling wastewater.

In this study, we used the Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) program to examine the behavior of hydrogen and organic acids according to seasonal changes in food wastewater collected from D city. The results showed that average hydrogen conversion rates in spring, summer, autumn, and winter were 1.06, 0.71, 1.21, and 1.13 mol H₂/mol of hexose_added, respectively, indicating a significantly lower hydrogen conversion rate in summer than in other seasons. This phenomenon is believed to occur because the carbohydrate concentration of the incoming food wastewater is low. In addition, Lactobacillus, the lactic acid-producing bacterium, was 21.3% in spring, 27.2% in summer, 17.5% in autumn, and 22.6% in winter. The most distinctive feature of the microbial community in summer was that 15.3% of the Ilyobacter was analyzed. It was confirmed that Ilyobacter, which is involved in the production of acetic acid and propionic acid, is closely associated with the tendency of increasing acetic acid and propionic acid and thus contributes to organic acid change. Clostridium, a hydrogen-producing bacterium, was 76.2%, 50.8%, 78.3%, and 74%, in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, respectively. It was confirmed that Clostridium dominates the microbial community by approximately 70% or more in all seasons except summer.

The feasibility of utilizing food waste leachate as an external carbon source was tested to enhance biological nutrient removal from an industrial wastewater with an average flow rate of $164,800m^3/d$ and a low carbon/nitrogen ratio of 2.8. A considerable improvement in the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus was observed when a certain amount of the leachate, ranging from 70 to $142m^3/d$, was supplemented to the biological industrial wastewater treatment process. The addition of the leachate led to an increase in the BOD/N ratio (4.5) and the removal efficiency of nutritents from 29.7% to 71.7% for nitrogen and from 34.8% to 65.6% for phosphorus. However, an excessive dose of the leachate that significantly exceeded $120m^3/d$ caused serious operational problems, like oil-layer formation in the grit chamber and scum layer in the primary clarifier. Thus, an supplement of food waste leachate at a dose acceptable to an existing facilities can be a practical and effective means to enhance the nutrient removal from industrial wastewater and to dispose of the food waste leachate.

In Kimchi (a salt-pickled and fermented food) manufacturing industry, the process of brining and rinsing the raw vegetable produces a vast amount of wastewater of high salinity. Instead of expensive and low-efficient conventional treatment system, brining wastewater reuse system was developed using hybrid chemical precipitation/microfiltration. In the microfiltration of chemically treated brining wastewater, comparison of flux, backwashing frequency and energy consumption was made between dead-end and crossflow filtration mode. The optimum location of neutralization step in this system was also discussed in connection with the microfiltration performance. The quality test of Kimchi prepared by the reuse system confirmed the new approach was successful in terms of water/raw material(salt) saving and wastewater reduction.

음식물류 폐기물 자원화과정에서 발생하는 폐수는 BOD 20,000~150,000mg/L이며, 매립금지로 적정수준까지 처리되어야 한다. 그러나 기존의 폐수처리시설에 의해서는 10일 이하로 처리하기가 불가능하다. (주)에코데이는 높은 산소전달효율, 높은 미생물(MLVSS) 유지와 유기물 농도 모두가 상향류의 PFR흐름을 갖는 ER-1 반응기를 이용하여 2~4일 이내로 처리할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. 하루 20톤의 음식물을 퇴비화 하는 H군 음식물 자원화시설에 Pilot plant를 설치하고, 자원화 과정에서 발생하는 고농도폐수(평균 BOD 64,431mg/L)와 저농도폐수(평균 BOD 16,500mg/L)에 대해 6개월간 실험하였다. 저농도폐수의 처리를 위해서 ER-1(HRT 2.5d)과 후단에 고도처리공정을 적용하였으며, 이때 전체공정에서 제거되는 유기물의 대부분이 ER-1을 통해 제거되었다. 저농도폐수 Pilot plant의 처리효율은 BOD 99%, COD 98%, SS 99%, T-N 97%, T-P 96%이다. 고농도 폐수 처리공정은 ER-1을 직렬로 배치하여 2단계 ER-1(1차 HRT 2.5d, 2차 HRT 1.5d) 후 고액분리를 통해 하수연계(BOD 2,000mg/L 이하)로 계획하였다. Pilot 실험결과 고농도 폐수에 대해서도 BOD 97%, COD 84%, SS 98%, T-N 66%, T-P 95%의 안정적인 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 고농도 폐수처리시에 생물반응기의 냉각시설 없이 고온($50^{\circ}C$)으로 운전되었으나, 온도 조절 부분을 개선한다면 더 높은 효율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

활성슬러지에 의한 생물학적 폐수처리에 있어 주된 관리인자는 유기물의 효율적인 제거와 슬러지의 침강성을 일정치 이하로 유지하는 것이다. 식품폐수의 하나인 고농도의 대두가공폐수를 일반적인 활성슬러지법을 적용한 결과 최적 F/M비(food-to-microorganism ratio)는 0.24(kg-BOD/kg-MLVSS day)였으며 그 이상의 농도인 0.48(kg-BOD/kg-MLVSS day)에서는 슬러지 팽화현상이 발생하여 고농도의 식품폐수처리에는 효율적이지 못하였다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 응집보조제(NaOH)를 활용하여 유입폐수의 pH를 9.0으로 조절한 결과, 2.88(kg-BOD/kg-MLVSS day)의 고농도 폐수를 유입하여도 슬러지의 팽화현상없이 SVI(sludge volume index)를 150 이하로 유지하였다. 이것은 최대 허용부하를 일반적인 활성슬러지법에 비하여 7.2배 높일 수 있는 효율적인 방법으로 평가되었다.

In this present study, bagasse based pulp and paper industry wastewater was treated under different operating conditions such as initial pH (6-8), temperature ($25-35^{\circ}C$) and contact time (3-7 days) by using Bacillus subtilis. Response surface methodology (RSM) coupled with Box-Behnken response surface design (BBD) was employed to investigate the effect of process variables on the responses such as turbidity, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. The experimental data were analyzed by Pareto analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the second order polynomial models were developed. Interactive effects of the process variables on the responses were studied using plotting 3D response surface contour graph and the optimum process conditions were found to be: initial pH of 7, temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and contact time of 5 days. Under these conditions, removal efficiencies of turbidity, BOD and COD were found to be 85%, 93% and 80% respectively which are close agreement with real experiments. These results indicate that the treatment of bagasse based pulp and paper industry wastewater using Bacillus subtilis is an effective and novel technique.

This paper proposes a modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) type membrane bioreactor (MBR) as a method of treatment for wastewater from food waste disposer. Micro-membrane filtration allows for an extremely low concentration of suspended solids in the effluent. The effluent of the reactor in question is characterized by a relatively high level of non-biodegradable organics, containing a substantial amount of soluble microbial products and biomass. Results obtained in this paper by measurement of membrane fouling are consistent with biomass concentration in the reactor, as opposed to chemical oxygen demand (COD). The MLE process is shown to be effective for the treatment of wastewater with a high COD/N ratio of 20, resulting in are markedly high total nitrogen removal efficiency. Denitrification could be improved at a higher internal recycle ratio. Despite the low concentration of influent phosphorus, the phosphorus concentration of the outflow is seen to be relatively high. This is because outflow phosphorous concentration is related to COD consumption, and the process operates at along solids retention time.
