The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different Hydraulic Retention Times (HRTs) on the contaminant removal efficiency using Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS). A laboratory-scale experiment was performed using a sequencing batch reactor, and the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), nitrogen, orthophosphate removal efficiency, AGS/MLSS ratio, and precipitability in accordance with the HRT were evaluated. As a result, the COD removal efficiency was not significantly different with the reduction in HRT, and at a HRT of 6 h, the removal rate was slightly increased owing to the increase in organic loading rate. The nitrogen removal efficiency was improved by injection of influent division at a HRT of 6 h. As the HRT decreased, the MLSS and AGS tended to increase, and the sludge volume index finally decreased to 50 mL/g. In addition, the size of the AGS gradually increased to about 1.0 mm. Therefore, the control of HRT provides favorable conditions for the stable formation of AGS, and is expected to improve the contaminant removal efficiency with the selection of a proper operation strategy.

본 연구에서는 Clostridium beijerinckii Donker 1926을 이용한 연속식 혐기성 소화공정에서 수소 생산과 동력학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 기질은 glucose를 사용하였고, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125일의 체류시간 (hydraulic retention time, HRT)에서 실험이 이루어졌으며, 모든 HRT의 조건에서 탄산화물은 99% 이상의 제거효율를 나타내었다. 체류시간이 짧을수록, COD 제거율은 낮은 반면에, 전체 가스 중에서 수소 가스 함량과 수소 발생량이 높게 나타났다. 또한, 정상상태에서, 증식 수율과 수소가스 생성 수율은 각각 0.27 g-VSS/g- glucose, 0.26 L/g-glucose로 나타났다. 본 실험에 사용된 균주를 glucose와 같이 당 성분이 함유된 폐수처리에 적용하면 수소를 생산할 수 있으며, 이러한 실험 결과들을 잘 활용하면 대체에너지로서, 실제적인 수소가스 생산 시스템에 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

Hydraulic dead-zone and particle removal efficiency in the base frame of a constructed wetland was evaluated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The fraction of hydraulic dead-zone was estimated to be 1.2-2.1 % (v/v) and it was attributed to the artificial islands developed in the constructed wetland. Solids deposition rate could be increased with higher hydraulic retention time (HRT, ranged from 2.2 to 4.2 hr) of the wetland and larger particle size (ranged from 10 to $50{\mu}m$) in the influent. Experimental results showed that the volume concentration of the particles smaller than $10{\mu}m$ in diameter was varied from $1.99{\times}10^3{\mu}m^3/ml$ (HRT 12.8 hr) to $3.92{\times}10^3{\mu}m^3/ml$(HRT 2.2 hr) in the influent of the constructed wetland. With the effluent volume concentration data, removal efficiency of those particles was calculated to be 71.2 and 24.7 % when the HRT was 12.8 and 2.2 hr, respectively. Similar trend with the HRT variation could be identified with CFD analysis.

Anaerobic treatment of wastewater of the red- bean processing industry was carried out and discussed an anaerobic sludge bed reactor( ASBR) as a preliminary study to evaluate applicability of given processes. The dimension of reactor were same as 0.09m- ID$\times $1.5m- height. The type of substrate and the hydraulic retention time( HRT) were considered as experimental variables. The synthetic wastewater with glucose in the laboratory, the wastewater from the red bean processing industry mixed with synthetic wastewater with variation of mixing percent were fed as substrate. The hydraulic retention time was changed from one day to five days. The gas production, the methane content in produced gas, efficiencies of COD removal and 55 removal were evaluated as principal characteristics. With synthetic wastewater as a substrate and at a hydraulic retention time of one day, characteristics of ASBR was the gas production(12$\ell$/day ), the methane content of produced gas(60%), the efficiency of COD removal(92%) and 55 removal(30%). With the real wastewater and at a hydraulic retention time of one day, the gas production and the efficiency of COD removal of the ASBR decreased with the proportion of real wastewater. The gas production and the efficiency of COD removal with real wastewater only was decreased to 70% and 87% of those with synthetic wastewater only, respectively. However, the methane content in produced gas and the efficiency of 55 removal with real wastewater only was increased significantly by 1.25 times and two times of those with synthetic wastewater only, respectively. However, the methane content in produced gas and the efficiency of 55 removal with real wastewater only was increased significantly by 1.25 times and two times of those with synthetic wastewater only, respectively. With real wastewater only as a substrate in the ASBR, the gas production was decreased with an increase of HRT, but the efficiency of COD removal increased with HRTI like the usual trend reported. As a conclusion, the wastewater of the red- bean Processing industry could be treated by anaerobic digestion successfully in the ASBR.Anaerobic treatment of wastewater of the red- bean processing industry was carried out and discussed an anaerobic sludge bed reactor( ASBR) as a preliminary study to evaluate applicability of given processes.

Quantity and composition of biogas from semi-continuous anaerobic digestion of straw were obtained experimentally in laboratory scale digesters fed with 1 liter of 5% straw-water mixture and maintained at 35$^{\circ}C$. Experiments were carried out for hydraulic retention time(HRT) of 8, 10 and 15days, respectively. The amount and composition of biogas produced were measured until steady-state was achieved for each run. The amount of biogas and methane percent go through a maximum and decrease continuously towards the steady-state after three times operation of hydraulic retention time(HRT). Methane gas production rates at steady-state increase with the increasing of HRT. Biogas production of 0.45 liter/day with 25% methane, 0.42 liter/day with 33.7% methane and 0.492 liter/day with 31.7% methane were obtained for 8, 10 and 15days of HRT, respectively. The high proportion of soluble carbohydrates present in straw makes the volatile fatty acids to build up within the digester causing a drop in pH that inhibits digestion. Regular control of pH is therefore necessary by adding alkalinity. Reductions in COD increase with increase in HRT. The stratification of plant material within the digester is different from that of manure, and modifications in design and operation of digesters may be necessary if they are fed with plant matter.

양식장에서 생성되는 어류의 노폐물이나 미섭취되고 남은 사료분은 고농도의 질소와 인을 함유하고 있으나 미처리된 상태로 처리하고 있어 그에 따른 처리방안이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 처리공정의 대용으로 생태공학적 처리로서 경제적으로 질소와 인 제거를 위해 실내재배조에 물상추를 적용하였다. 앙식장 배출수 처리를 위한 생물여과상의 처리효율을 향상시키기 위하여 물상추 여과조를 설치하여 다양한 조건하에 시도되었다. 실험 재료인 수초는 물상추를 재배하였고, 6개의 수조(62${\times}$60${\times}$86cm)에 재배조 용량이 80 L가 되도록 채우고 수리학적 체류시간(hydraulic retention time; HRT)을 1, 2, 4, 8일로 하여 운영하였다. HRT 8일인 경우 1차 배출수를 대상으로 하였을 경우 BOD, T-N, T-P의 제거율은 92.8, 79.0 및 93.6%로 각각 나타났다.

The study were conducted in order to investigate the effect of operating parameters including the internal recycle (nitrification return) rates, hydraulic retention times (HRTs) and temperature when using a cilium media method. The first experiment was for evaluating the effect of HRT (12 hr, 10 hr, 8 hr, 6 hr, 4 hr). The second experiment was for analyzing effect of internal recycle rate (100%, 200%, 300%, 400%). As a result of the first experiment, BOD was removed to 97~98% for 6~8 hr HRT. Effluent water quality was not significantly influenced with HRT within that range. However the nitrogen removal was sensitive to HRT. T-P removal efficiency was invariable at various HRTs. The average BOD removal efficiency was about 97% in spite of change of internal recycle rate while T-N removal efficiency was increased at the internal recycle rate of 100~200%, but invariable at the internal recycle rate of 200~300%.

본 연구에서는 고형물 체류시간, 수리학적 체류시간, 생흡착시간 및 온도 변화가 이단슬러지 유형의 연속회분식반응기 공정 운영에 어떻게 영향을 주는지를 조사함으로서 본 공정을 최적화 하고자 하였다. T-N 제거에 있어서 고형물 체류시간이 증가할수록 T-N 제거효율이 증가하는 경향을 관찰할 수 있었는데 이는 SRT가 증가할수록 SCOD 생흡착효율의 증가와 관련이 있을 것으로 판단된다. HRT 영향에 있어서 HRT 8시간, 10시간 및 15시간에서 암모니아성 제거효율 및 T-N 제거효율은 각각 HRT 영향에 관계없이 거의 같았다. 생흡착시간을 20분 이상 증가시켜도 T-N 제거효율 향상에는 도움이 되지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. 서로 다른 온도 조건에서 공정 제거 효율 비교에 관해 조사한 결과 온도의 감소가 공정 성능에 영향을 주지는 않았으나 인 제거 효율에 있어서 높은 온도에서보다 낮은 온도에서 인 제거효율이 다소 높게 관찰되었다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 개발된 공정은 낮은 온도 조건 및 높은 유입 부하를 가진 폐수처리에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

An experimental study on improvement of the paper-mill wastewater treatment using the pure oxygen activated sludge process was conducted. The effects of hydraulic retention time(HRT) and BOD loading on organic removal efficiency were investigated. The BOD removal efficiencies were above 90% under all examined HRTs except for HRT of 3 hours. The increase of HRT from 3 hours to 6 hours, and to 12 hours significantly improved BOD and COD removal efficiencies, respectively. However, additional increase of HRT did not affect organic removal efficiency. F/M ratio change at fixed HRT did not affect organic removal efficiency. However, F/M ratio investigated in this study(0.11~1.98kgBOD/kgMLVSS/day) was 5 times greater in maximum than that of conventional activated sludge process, which implies that pure oxygen activated sludge process can treat wastewater with high organic strength. Under the same HRT, the volumetric BOD loading change cause no effect on organic removal efficiency also.
