In petroleum refining industry, caustic (NaOH) solution is used to remove $H_2S$ from hydrocarbon streams in naphtha cracking process. Once $H_2S$ is absorbed in caustic solution, the solution becomes known as spent sulfidic caustic (SSC), which contains high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and alkalinity. This study was focused on the evaluation of autotrophic denitrification by SSC in a hybrid Bardenpho process. SSC was injected to the anoxic (1) and anoxic (2) tank at different S/N ratio. In a previous lab-scale study, as we operated a modified Ludzack-Ettinger process, it was observed that the COD increment of effluent and nitrification failure happened because of non-biodegradable matters in SSC and high pH, respectively. Thus cilia media was packed at 2.4%(v/v) in all aerobic tanks and the pH of SSC was neutralized from 13.3 to 11.5 with addition of sulphuric acid ($H_2SO_4$). Consequently, these strategies were successful because no COD increment of effluent was observed and nitrification failure did not happen. The maximum TN removal efficiency was 77.5% when SSC was injected to both the anoxic (1) and anoxic (2) tanks. The mean TN concentration of effluent in this condition was 5.8 mg/L.

본 연구에서 소규모 하수고도처리를 위한 이중슬러지(Dual sludge) $KNR^{(R)}$ (Kwon's nutrient removal) 시스템이 개발되었다. $KNR^{(R)}$ 시스템은 부유성장식 탈질미생물과 부착성장식 질산화미생물을 분리시킨 이중슬러지 공정으로 최초침전조, 혐기조, 무산소조, 농축조의 복합기능을 수행하는 UMBR (Upflow multi-layer bioreactor)과 펠렛형 담체가 충진된 호기성 담체조로 구성되어 있다. 소규모 하수처리시 본 개발공정의 안정성과 처리성능을 평가하기 위해 처리용량 $50m^3/d$ 규모의 파일럿 플랜트를 고도처리 공정으로 개선공사 중인 처리용량 $50m^3/d$ 규모의 실제 소규모 마을하수처리장에 적용하였다. UMBR과 담체조의 체류시간은 각각 4.7 h와 7.2h이었으며, 반응조 수온은 $18.1{\sim}28.1^{\circ}C$이었다. 유입 하수량과 유입수의 BOD/N의 변동폭이 컸음에도 불구하고 파일럿 플랜트는 안정된 처리성능을 보였다. 전체 실험기간 중 처리수의 $COD_{cr}$, $COD_{Mn}$, $BOD_5$, TN, TP의 평균 농도는 11.0 mg/L, 8.8 mg/L, 4.2 mg/L, 3.5 mg/L, 9.8 mg/L, 0.87/0.17 mg/L (poly aluminium chloride(PAC) 투입/미투입)이었으며, 제거율을 각각 95.3%, 87.6%, 96.3%, 96.5%, 68.2%, 55.4/90.3% 이었다. 잉여슬러지 발생량은 $A_2O$와 Bardenpho 등과 같은 단일슬러지를 이용하는 고도처리공정과 비교시 약 1.9~3.8배 낮은 $0.026kg-DS/m^3$ and 0.220 kg-DS/kg-BOD로 나타났다.
