The treatment of high-strength swine wastewater by anaerobic digestion combined with an aquatic plant system was investigated. Anaerobic digestion of swine wastewater gave volatile solids (VS) removal efficiencies of 43.3%, 52.1% and 54.5% for hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 20, 30, 40 days, respectively. The removal efficiencies of VS, total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) and soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) decreased with increasing VS volumetric loading rate (VLR). Higher organic removal efficiency was observed at longer HRTs for the same VS volumetric loading rate. As VS volumetric loading rate increased, biogas production increased and the methane content of the biogas decreased. Experiments using duckweed (Lemna species) as an aquatic macrophyte gave the following results. In the case of nitrogen, removal efficiency was above 60% and effluent concentration was below 10.0 mg/L when the influent ammonia-N loading was about $1.0\;g/m^2/day$. In the case of phosphorus, removal efficiency was above 55% and effluent concentration was below 2.0 mg/L when the influent $PO_4$-P loading was about $0.15\;g/m^2/day$. In addition, crude protein and phosphorus content of duckweed biomass increased from 15.6% to 41.6% and from 0.8% to 1.6%, respectively, as the influent nutrient concentration increased. The treatment of high-strength swine wastewater by anaerobic digestion combined with an aquatic plant system offers good performance in terms of organics and nutrient removal for relatively low operation and maintenance costs. The results indicate that under appropriate operational conditions, the effluent quality is within the limits set by Korean discharge criteria.

연속회분식반응기에서 측정되는 기초상용계측기의 프로파일은 공정 내에서 수행되는 유기오염물질 및 영양염류 제거반응의 진행 정도에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 특히 호기성 반응구간에 측정되는 pH나 DO, ORP의 변곡점 등의 정보를 이용한 반응 종료 감지는 널리 알려진 응용사례라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 정보들은 반응의 종료 여부에 대한 정보를 제공할 뿐, 현재 공정에 가해지는 부하에 대한 정보를 제공하지는 못한다. 본 논문에서는 운전자에게 공정 유입수 내의 호기적 반응을 요하는 부하, 즉 암모니아 부하 및 유기물 부하의 고/중/저에 관한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 기초상용계측기의 정보를 활용한 진단 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 알고리즘으로 인해, 연속회분식반응기를 운전할 시에 수시로 변화하는 유입수의 부하를 습식분석 없이 자동 계측기 프로파일로부터 얻어낼 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

[ $NO_3$ ]-N and T-N removal rates of cattail wetland cells were compared with those of reed wetland cells. The examined cells were a part of a pond-wetland system composed of two ponds in series and six wetland cells in parallel. Each wetland cell was 25m in length and 6m in width. Cattails (Typha angustifolia) were transplanted into three cells and reeds Phragmites australis) into another three ones in June 2000. Water of Sinyang stream flowing into Kohung Estuarine lake located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula was pumped into the primary pond, its effluent was discharged into the secondary pond Effluent from the secondary pond was funneled into each cell. Two cattail and reed cells were chosen for this research. Water quantity and quality of influnt and effluent were analyzed front May 2001 through October 2001. The volume of influent and effluent of the cells averaged about $20.0\;m^3/day$ and $19.3\;m^3/day$, respectively. Hydraulic retention time was approximately 1.5 days. Influent $NO_3$-N concentration for the four cells averaged 2.39 mg/L. Effluent $NO_3$-N concentration far the cattail and reed cells averaged 1.74 and 1.78 mg/L, respectively. Average $NO_3$-N retention rate for the cattail and reed cells by mass was 30 and 29%, respectively. Influent T-N concentration far the four cells averaged 4.13 mg/L. Effluent T-N concentration for the cattail and reed cells averaged 2.55 and 2.61 mgL respectively. Average T-N retention rate for the cattail and reed cells by mass was 39 and 38%, respectively. $NO_3$-N and T-N concentrations in effluent from the cattail cells were significantly low (p=0.04), compared with those from the reed cells. Cattail wetland cells were more efficient for $NO_3$-N and T-N abatement than reed ones.

유입하수와 기존 연계처리수(축산폐수, 분뇨, 음폐수 등)에 더하여 슬러지탄화시설에서 발생되는 유출수가 추가로 유입되며 질소성분의 처리에 어려움을 겪고 있는 하수처리시설을 대상으로 연계처리가 처리효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 하수처리시설에 유입되는 연계처리수의 부하량(kg/d)을 산출한 결과, BOD 및 COD의 경우 음폐수와 축산폐수가 차지하는 비중이 상대적으로 크게 나타났고, T-N과 $NH_3-N$은 탄화공정수가 차지하는 비중이 가장 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 탄화공정수가 방류수질에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 탄화공정수 유입 유무에 따른 공정별 처리효율을 분석결과, 호기조에서 $NH_3-N$의 질산화율이 탄화공정수가 유입되지 않는 경우 89%이었으나 탄화공정수가 유입되는 경우 55%로 낮아져 탄화공정수 유입시 질산화효율이 현저히 떨어지는 것을 확인하였다. 탄화공정수 유입으로 인한 질소 및 암모니아 부하량 증가 및 이로 인한 제거율 악화를 해결하기 위해서는 탄하공정수의 전처리를 통해 질소성분의 부하를 낮추어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

To maintain water quality after water treatment, monitoring whether the quality of treated tap water quality changes is essential. However, current investigations are insufficient to prevent secondary contamination in drinking water supply systems. This study investigated Gyeonggi's e apartment where a red water problem occurred and monitored the water quality and corrosiveness of the overall water supply system to the apartment from June 2021 to April 2022. In a comparison of drinking water quality after water treatment and the influent of the reservoir, turbidity and heavy metal concentrations were increased and residual chlorine was decreased due to increases in temperature. Correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that a low level of residual chlorine may cause the abscission of Mn²⁺ and Fe²⁺ through microorganism activation, which also causes a high level of turbidity. The corrosion index (LI) in the influent of the reservoir tank was increased due to Ca²⁺ and temperature. These results indicate that the corrosiveness of drinking water and the deterioration of drinking water quality were mainly increased between the drinking water treatment plant and the reservoir tank's influent. The findings provide clear evidence that it is essential to manage water supply systems and reservoir tanks to prevent the secondary contamination of drinking water.

The effect of temperature and influent alkalinity/ammonia (K/A) ratio on the start-up of the partial nitrification (PN) process for an activated sludge-based domestic wastewater treatment was studied. Two different sequence batch reactors (SBR) were operated at 26 ℃ and 32 ℃. The relationship between temperature and the concentration of free ammonia (FA) and free acid nitrite (FNA) was investigated. A stable PN process was achieved in the 32 ℃ reactor when the influent ammonium concentration was lower than 150 mg-N/L. In contrast, the PN process in the 26 ℃ reactor had a higher nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) and ammonium removal efficiency (ARE) when the influent ammonia concentration was increased to more than 150 mg-N/L. Then three different ranges of the K/A ratio were applied to an SBR reactor. In the K/A range of 2.48~1.65, the SBR reactor achieved the highest NAR ratio (75.78%). This ratio helps to achieve the appropriate level of alkalinity to maintain a stable pH and provide a sufficient amount of inorganic carbon source for the activity of microorganisms. At the same time, FA and FNA values also reached the threshold to inhibit nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) without a significant effect on ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). Results showed that the control of temperature and K/A ratio during the start-up period may be important in establishing a stable and steady PN process for the treatment of domestic wastewater.

The evaluation of organic matters and nutrients removal was investigated for the synthetic wastewater and the high strength of dairy wastewater. Two different systems were performed for this research. System A composing of a single RBC with tapered aeration was fed with the synthetic wastewater for 74 days with 173L/day of influent, 200% of internal return and 100% of sludge return for the period 1 and 2. The feed conditions were maintained 346L/day of influent, 50% of internal return and sludge return for the period 3. The dairy wastewater was introduced to evaluate treatment efficiency for system B composing of dual RBCs and tapered aeration tanks for 50 days of experimental run time, in which hydraulic rates were maintained at the constant ratios of 346L/day, 50% of internal return and 50% of sludge return. The spiral string media made of nylon fibre was attached by Bacillus sp. in RBC for both systems. The specific area of string media was $1.4m^2$/m and biomass was maintained at the concentrations of 23g/m. The synthetic wastewater was supplied by 1,800mg/L of glucose, 500mg/L of $NH_4Cl$, and 500mg/L of $KH_2PO_4$ to system A. The dairy wastewater was supplied to system B from dairy production plant. The average influent concentrations were 1,334mg/L of BOD, 2,014mg/L of CODcr, 160mg/L of T-N, and 12mg/L of T-P in system A. The average influent concentrations of parameters were 1,006 mg/L for BOD, 1,875mg/L for $COD_{cr}$, 51.6mg/L for T-N and 8.9mg/L for T-P in system B. Results indicated that removal efficiencies of BOD and $COD_{cr}$ were more than 90% however, the removal efficiency of T-N was 87%, and that of T-P was 82% for system A. Removal efficiencies were 98.5% of BOD, 91.3% of nitrogen and 89% of phosphorus for system B. The removal efficiencies of organic matters, T-N and T-P were higher in system B than in system A. The effluent quality issued by the stringent national legislations for the discharge of the high strength of dairy products wastewater can be improved using sequential RBCsand tapered aeration reactors rather than a single RBC and tapered aeration reactors with Bacillus sp.

본 연구에서는 저농도로 유입되어 정상적인 운영이 되지 않고, 질소제거가 어려운 소규모 하수처리시설의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 5Stage로 구성된 하수고도처리 공정의 저농도 유입성상에서 최적의 단계유입비와 내부순환비를 결정하기 위해 Lab-Scale 모형실험장치를 제작하여 실험하였다. 저농도의 유입조건에서 효율적인 고도처리를 위해 내부순환과 단계유입이 공정성능에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 분석항목별 처리효율은 BOD 90.0%, COD 87.8%, T-N 71.0%, T-P 75.3%로 나타났으며, T-N은 단계유입에 따라 처리효율의 변동이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 혐기조로 유입되는 단계유입비 70, 60, 50%에서는 각각 73, 80, 78%로 나타나 최적의 단계 유입비 범위로 판단되었다. 셋째, 질소제거를 위해 내부순환을 할 경우 내부순환을 하지않는 경우보다 질소 제거효율이 증가됨을 알 수 있었고, 내부순환비가 150%이상에서는 더 이상 처리효율에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 다량의 순환으로 인해 무산소조에 DO의 유입으로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 내부순환비는 50~150%가 적정한 것으로 판단되었다.

가축분뇨 공공처리시설 유입수의 농토변경에 따른 처리효율과 비용절감 효과를 검토하기 위하여 다음을 전제조건으로 분석하였다. 첫째 유입수질을 고농도 (BOD 20,000 mg/L)에서 저농도 (BOD 1,000 mg/L 이하)로 변경한다. 둘째, 기존 시설의 개 보수를 최소화하면서 유입수 전량을 저농도로 유입시킬 경우(BIOSUF) 셋째, 시설의 개 보수 없이 유입수의 일부를 저농도로 유입시킬 경우 (액상부식법)를 검토하였다. 처리용량 확대에 있어서, BIOSUF 공법의 경우는 저류조 등 일부시설을 증설한다면, 현재의 설계 유입물량 130톤/일에서 2.3배인 300톤/일을 유입시킬 수 있을 것으로 산출되었다. 액상부식법의 경우는 설계 유입물량 210톤/일을 190톤/일로 감소시키는 대신 저농도의 유입물량을 60톤까지 확대함으로써 250톤/일 처리가 가능할 것으로 분석되었다. 톤당 처리비의 경우는, BIOSUF 공법은 유입수 농도 변경 전에는 14,674원/톤이었으나 변경 후에는 7,221원/톤으로 50.8%가 감소되었으며, 액상부식법은 당초 9,929원/톤이었으나, 변경 후에는 약 16.6%가 감소된 8,277원/톤으로 산출되어 비용절감 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되 었다. 따라서 가축분뇨 공공처리시설의 운영쵸율을 높이고 양축농가의 처리비용 경감을 위해서는 가축분뇨 (슬러리)를 농가단위에서 저농도로 처리한 후 공공처리시설로 유입하는 체계의 강구가 필요하다.

Abatements of TN and ${NO_3}^-$-N in a horizontal subsurface-flow wetland with litter layer on its surface were compared with those without one. The wetland was constructed in 2001 on floodplain of the Gwangju Stream which flows through Gwangju City in Korea. Its dimensions were 29m in length, 9m in width and 0.65m in depth. A bottom layer of 45cm was filled with crushed granites (15~40mm in diameter) and a middle layer of 10cm had pea pebbles. An upper layer of 5cm contained coarse sands. Reeds (Phragmites australis) growing in natural wetlands were transplanted on its surface. Water of the stream was channelled into the wetland by gravity flow and its effluent was discharged back into the stream. Average Litter layer of 12.2cm was formed on its surface in 2007. The layer and above-ground parts of reeds were eliminated in April 2008. Volumes and water quality of influent and effluent of the wetland were analyzed from May to November in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Inflow into the wetland both in 2007 and 2008 averaged approximately 40$m^3$/day and hydraulic residence time both in 2007 and 2008 was about 1.5days. Influent TN concentration in 2007 and 2008 averaged 3.96 and 3.89mg/L, respectively and average influent ${NO_3}^-$-N concentration in 2007 and 2008 was 2.11 and 2.05mg/L, respectively. With a 0.05 significance level, influent concentrations of TN and ${NO_3}^-$-N, temperatures and pH of effluent, and heights and stem numbers of reeds showed no difference between the wetland with litter layer and without one. TN retention in the wetland with litter layer and without one averaged 64,76 and 54.69%, respectively and ${NO_3}^-$-N removal averaged 60.83 and 50.61%, respectively. Both TN and ${NO_3}^-$-N abatement rates in the wetland with litter layer were significantly high (TN abatement: p<0,001, ${NO_3}^-$-N abatement: p=0.001) when compared with those without one. The subsurface-flow wetland having litter layer on its surface was more efficient for TN and ${NO_3}^-$-N removal.
