The coupling of anaerobic biological process and membrane separation could provide excellent suspended solids removal and better biomass retention for wastewater treatment. This coupling improves the biological treatment process while allowing for the recovery of energy through biogas. This review gives a basic description of the anaerobic wastewater treatment process, summarizes the state of the art of anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs), and describes the current research trends and needs for the development of AnMBRs. The research interest on AnMBR has grown over the conventional anaerobic processes such as upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB). Studies on AnMBRs have developed different reactor configurations to enhance performances. The AnMBR performances have achieved comparable status to other high rate anaerobic reactors. AnMBR is highly suitable for application with thermophilic anaerobic process to enhance performances. Studies indicate that the applications of AnMBR are not only limited to the high strength industrial wastewater treatment, but also for the municipal wastewater treatment. In recent years, there is a significant progress in the membrane fouling studies, which is a major concern in AnMBR application.

The anaerobic landfill leachate treatment can surmount dilution problem of high concentration landfill leachate, collect methane gas as byproduct, and treat low phosphate concentration leachate because of low nutrient salt requirement. The problems of conventional anaerobic treatment that are requirement of large reactor because of low microbial growth rate(HRT=20-30 days) and low volumetric loading rate(VLR=0.5-2.0 kg $COD/m^3\cdot day$) are able to surmount by introduction of high rate anaerobic treatment. In this study, the upflow blanket filter(UBF) which is high rate anaerobic process was applyed to the landfill leachate treatment. The acceptable volumetric loading rate and HRT were 18.23 kg $SCOD/m^3\cdot day$ and 13 hrs. SCOD removal rate was over 90% at VLR 18.23 kg $SCOD/m^3\cdot day$. The methane gas yield was $0.15 lCH_4/g$ SCOD added(at STP) at VLR 18.23 kg $SCOD/m^3\cdot day$. The solids accumulation yield was 0.40 g VSS/g COD removed.

본 연구는 높은 상향유속을 가지는 고율 혐기성 공정의 단점을 해결하고자 반응조의 구조개선을 통한 고율 혐기성 반응조의 성능평가를 실시하였다. 개선된 반응조는 반응조의 직경을 조절하여 반응조를 세부분으로 구분하여 제작하였다. 구조 변경된 반응조의 성능평가 결과, 반응조 하부의 단회로 및 고형물 축적현상과 미생물 유출을 방지하여 반응조 내 미생물을 안정적으로 유지할 수 있었다. 혐기성 소화 과정에서 반응조내 pH와 알카리도 상승은 유기물 분해과정 및 biogas의 일부 재용해에 의해 생성된 중탄산염에 기인한 것으로 판단되며, 높은 유기물 제거효율을 이루기 위해서는 HRT 9 hr 이상, 유기물 부하 $10.0kgTCODcr/m^3{\cdot}d$ 이하 범위로 운전하여야 한다. 혐기성 소화과정에서 발생하는 메탄가스는 유기물 부하 $7.7kgTCODcr/m^3{\cdot}d$ 이상에서 65~83 %의 높은 함량을 나타냈으며, CODcr 제거당 메탄 발생량은 $0.10{\sim}0.23m^3CH_4/kgCOD_{rem}.$으로 STP 상태의 이론적 메탄가스 발생량(0.35)보다 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며, 고율 혐기성 공정후단에 질소제거를 위한 고도처리 공정이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Bioreactors are devices used by sewage treatment plants to process sewage and which produce active sludge, and sediments separated by solid-liquid are treated in anaerobic digestion tanks. In anaerobic digestion tanks, the volume of active sludge deposits is reduced and biogas is produced. After dehydrating the digestive sludge generated after anaerobic digestion, anaerobic digested wastewater, which features a high concentration of organic matters, is generated. In this study, the decomposition of organic carbon and nitrogen was studied by advanced oxidation process. Ozone-microbubble flotation process was used for oxidation pretreatment. During ozonation, the TOC decreased by 11.6%. After ozone treatment, the TOC decreased and the removal rate reached 80.4% as a result of the Ultra Violet-Advanced Oxidation Process (UV-AOP). The results with regard to organic substances before and after treatment differed depending on the organic carbon index, such as CODMn, CODCr, and TOC. Those indexes did not change significantly in ozone treatment, but decreased significantly after the UV-AOP process as the linkage treatment, and were removed by up to 39.1%, 15.2%, and 80.4%, respectively. It was confirmed that biodegradability was improved according to the ratio of CODMn to TOC. As for the nitrogen component, the ammonia nitrogen component showed a level of 3.2×10² mg/L or more, and the content was maintained at 80% even after treatment. Since most of the contaminants are removed from the treated water and its transparency is high, this water can be utilized as a resource that contains high concentrations of nitrogen.

The treatment performances of anaerobic-aerobic activated sludge process were investigated under various operation conditions. The treatment system proposed in this study gave a relatively stable performance against hourly change of the flow rate and showed a satisfactory removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds under experimental conditions. The average removal efficiency of total nitrogen gradually decreased as the influent total nitrogen concentration was increased. High C/N ratio of the wastewater was required for the complete removal of nitrogen. Glucose as a carbon source was more efficient than starch and the removal ability for all components become higher with the increase of the fraction of glucose.

The purpose of this study is to examine the purification efficiency of the septic tank method which has been applied by the most of Korean livestock farms, in terms of anaerobic and aerobic treatment. Except several days in summer, BOD of effluent shows 1,500 -3,000 ppm by anaerobic process. In most cases , it exceeds according to the seasons show an increase by decrease of temperature. The removal effect on T-N is hardly found. The suspended solids contents of effluent are reduced to the level of 50-90%. Although BOD contents of effluent are kept high in the beginning, the removal rate of BOD shows 80 percent in the latter half by the aerobic treatment . The removal efficiency of total nitrogen does not appear through the experimental period, but the contents of T-N are not increased in the aerobic process unlike in the anaerobic process. The total phosphorous contents in effluent keep a constant level of 14 mg/L in average. The removal rate of phosphorous shows 91 percent i the last stage.

Anaerobic digestion is generally used for the treatment of volatile organic solids such as manure and sludge from waste water treatment plants. However, the reaction rate of anaerobic process is slow, and thus it requires a large reactor volume. To minimize such a disadvantage, physical and chemical pre-treatment is generally considered. Another method to reduce the reactor size is to adopt different reactor system other than CSTR. In this paper, the effects of heat pre-treatment and reactor configurations on the anaerobic treatability of volatile solids was studied. Carrot, kale, primary sludge, and waste activated sludge was chosen as the test materials, and the BMP method was used to evaluate the maximum methane production and first order rate constants from each sample. After the heat treatment at $130^{\circ}C$ for 30min., the measured increase in SCOD per gram VS was up to 394 mg/L for the waste activated sludge. However, the methane production potential per gram VS was increased for only primary and waste activated sludge by 17-23%, remaining the same for carrot and kale. The overall methane production process for the tested solids can be described by first order reactions. The increased in reaction constant after heat pre-treatment was also more significant for the primary and waste activated sludge than that for carrot and kale. therefore, the heat pre-treatment appeared to be effective for the solids with high protein contents rather than for the solids with high carbohydrate contents. Among the four reactor systems studied, CSTR, PFR, CSTR followed by PFR, and PFR with recycle, CSTR followed by PFR appeared to be the best choice considering methane conversion rate and the operational stability.

축산폐수의 효율적 처리와 최적 메탄발생을 위하여 AF 그리고 이단의 ASBF-PR과 ASBF-SP 실험실적 생물반응기를 구성하고 $35^{\circ}C$ 항온조에서 수리학적체류시간 $1{\sim}2$일 그리고 유기물부하 $1.1{\sim}63kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$까지 연속 운전하여 처리효율을 비교, 분석하였다. 하수종말처리장의 혐기성 소화조 잉여 슬러지에 의한 혐기성 생물반응기의 식종은 효과적이었으며, 적응 기간은 약 40일 정도가 소요되었다. 생물반응기는 COD 제거율 $66.4{\sim}84.9$% 그리고 바이오 가스 발생량은 제거된 COD 기준 $0.333{\sim}0.796m^3/kg-COD{\cdot}d$. 으로 축산폐수의 처리에 효율적이었으며 유입 COD의 증가와 수리학적체류시간의 감소에 의한 유기물부하 증가의 경우 COD 제거율은 감소하고 바이오가스 발생량은 증가하였다. 높은 유기물부하에서 AF와 ASBF-PR의 처리효율은 비슷하였으며 ASBF-SP보다 우수하였다. 생물반응기에 충진된 미디어의 공극율과 공극의 크기가 비표면적에 비교하여 유기물질 제거능력 향상에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 유입수 TKN 농도가 $1,540{\sim}1,870mg/L$ 범위에서 메탄발효 미생물의 활동은 저해영향을 받아 생물반응기의 처리효율과 바이오가스 발생량은 각각 50% 이하로 감소되는 것으로 나타났으므로 혐기성 소화가 축산폐수의 처리에 주 공정으로 응용된다면 전처리에 의한 TKN의 제거는 필수적이다.

고농도 입자성 유기 폐수를 대상으로 기존 혐기성 공정인 CSTR과 UASB공정으로 처리 시 불량한 상징수질, 불안정한 운전 특성과 같은 문제점이 제시되었다. 이에 본 연구는 새로운 개념의 ADEPT(Anaerobic Digestion Elutriated Phased Treatment) 공정을 주정폐수에 적용하여 처리 가능성을 평가하였다. CSTR과 ADEPT의 성능 비교 결과 ADEPT공정에서 gas 발생량은 약 2배였으며, 유기물 제거 효율과 고형물 제거 효율 역시 더 높은 효율을 보여주었다. 또한 ADPET는 비교적 짧은 HRT에서도 휘발성 지방산 생성으로 인한 pH 저하의 영향을 받지 않았으며, 안정적으로 pH를 유지하였다. ADEPT의 recycle ratio를 6Qin과 2Qin으로 변화를 주어 운전 시 6Qin의 운전 기간 동안 높은 처리 효율을 보여주었다. 따라서 ADEPT는 짧은 HRT로 인한 경제성 향상과 메탄 발생을 이용한 에너지 회수, 또한 산 생성조에서 생성되는 유기산을 최대로 생산, BNR 공정의 유기 탄소원으로 활용 가치가 있다고 판단된다.
