Recent focus on wastewater treatment includes energy-saving and renewable energy generation for energy-independence of water infrastructures. Aeration and pumping in biological wastewater removal processes account for nearly 30-60% of the total electricity cost in real wastewater treatment plants. In this study, the performance and microbial characteristics were investigated in sequencing batch reactor under typical oxygen and oxygen limited condition. Under typical DO ($7.55{\pm}0.99mg/L$) and low DO ($0.23{\pm}0.08mg/L$) conditions, COD removal was stable over 91 % during SBR operation. Ammonia removal efficiency was reduced from 95.6 % to 89.2 % when DO concentration was dropped sharply. Phosphorus removal efficiency also reached 77% at oxygen-limited condition. The results indicated that removal efficiency both ammonia and phosphorus was influenced by DO condition. Microbial analysis revealed that Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes at phylum level was dominant in typical DO and low DO conditions and DO concentration did not much affect phylum distribution. Population decrease of genera of nitrifying bacteria(Dokdonella) and Dechloromonas spp. affect removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus at low DO condition.

This study examined the wastewater at a livestock farm, and found that the dairy wastewater from the milking parlor had a lower concentration than the piggery wastewater, and that it was produced at a rate under 1.3 ㎥/day in a single farmhouse. The amount of dairy wastewater was determined based on the performance of the milking machine, the maintenance method of the milking parlor, and the amount of milk production allocated for each farmhouse, not by the area. The results confirmed that both dairy wastewater treatment processes, specifically those using Hanged Bio-Compactor (HBC) and Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), can fully satisfy the water quality standards of discharge. The dairy wastewater has a lower amount and concentration than piggery wastewater, meaning it is less valuable as liquid fertilizer, but it can be easily degraded using the conventional activated sludge process in a public sewage treatment plant. Therefore, discharging the dairy wastewater after individual treatment was expected to be a more reasonable method than consigning it to the centralized wastewater treatment plant. The effluent after the SBR process showed a lower degree of color than the HBC effluent, which was attributed to biological adsorption. In the case of the milking parlor in the livestock farm, the concentrations of the effluents obtained after HBC and SBR treatments both satisfied water quality standards for the discharge of public livestock wastewater treatment plants at 99% confidence intervals, and the concentrations of total nitrogen and phosphorous in untreated wastewater were even lower than the water quality standards of discharge. Therefore, we need to discuss strengthening the water quality standards to reduce environmental pollution.

SBR반응조를 이용하여 간헐폭기의 슬러지소화 실험을 실시하였다. 폭기비율은 고형물과 질소 제거의 가장 중요한 운전인자 중의 하나였다. 슬러지의 소화에 따라 용출된 유기성질소는 질산성질소로 산화되었고, 생물학적 질소제거율도 높게 나타났는데, 질소제거율은 폭기비율에 따라 달라졌다. 폭기비율 0.25-0.75의 범위에서, 암모니아성 질소의 축적은 보이지 않았으며, pH는 중성에서 유지되었다. 폭기비율을 증가시킴에 따라 고형물 제거율은 증가하지만 용존 질소의 제거율은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 본 실험에서 SBR 반응조를 이용하고, 평균고형물체류시간 8-32일 정도의 설계조건과 폭기비율 0.25-0.75의 운전 조건에서 VSS 제거율은 17-42% 정도, 용존질소 제거율은 80% 이상이 가능하였다.

A packed bed reactor (PBR) was fed with nitrate containing synthetic wastewater or effluent from a sequencing batch reactor used for nitrification. The C source introduced into the PBR consisted of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced from anaerobic acidogenesis of food wastes. When nitrate loading rates ranged from $0.50\;to\;1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, the PBR exhibited $100{\sim}98.8%\;NO_{3}^{-}-N$ removal efficiencies and nitrite concentrations in the effluent ranged from $0\;to\;0.6\;NO_{2}^{-}-N\;mg/L$. When the PBR was further investigated to determine nitrate removal activity along the bed height using a nitrate loading rate less than $1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, 100% nitrate removal efficiency was observed. Approximately 83.2% nitrate removal efficiency was observed in the lower 50% of the packed-bed height. When reactor performance at a C/N ratio of 4 and a C/N ratio of 5 was compared, the PBR showed better removal efficiency (96.5%) of nitrate and less nitrite concentration in the effluent at the C/N ratio of 5. VFAs were found to be a good alternative to methanol as a carbon source for denitrification of a municipal wastewater containing 40 mg-N/L.

Laboratory experiments were conducted using pure cultures of Acinetobacter under an-aerobic/aerobic cyclic conditions to explain the release and uptake of soluble phosphate in an activated sludge process showing enhanced biological phosphate removal (EBPR). Under anaerobic/aerobic cyclic conditions in a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), COD uptake concurrent with soluble phosphate release by Acinetobacter was not significant during the anaerobic periods, indicating that EBPR would not be established in pure cultures. However Acinetobacter cells accumulated higher phosphate content (5.2%) in SBR than that obtained (4.3%) from batch experiments. These results suggest that Acinetobacter sp. may not follow the proposed pattern of behavior of poly-P bacteria in EBPR activated sludge Plants.

Various analytical methods such as electron microscopy, quinone analysis, and 16S rDNA sequencing studies were used to investigate the microbial communities and to identify the microorganisms responsible for enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) in an anaerobic/aerobic sequencing batch reactor (SBR) fed with acetate. Electron photomicrographs showed that oval-shaped microorganisms of about $0.7\;{\sim}\;1\;{\mu}m$ in diameter dominated the microbial sludge. These microorganisms contained polyphosphate granules and glycogen inclusions, which suggests that they are a kind of phosphorus accumulating organism. Quinone and 16S rRNA sequence analyses showed that the members of Proteobacteria beta subclass were the most abundant species, which were affiliated with the Rhodocyclus-likes group. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the two dominating clones of the beta subclass were most distantly related to Propionivibrio dicarboxylicus DSM 5885 and Rhodocyclus tenuis DSM 109 with about 95% and 96% sequence similarity, respectively. Therefore, it was concluded that the oval-shaped organisms related to the Rhodocyclus-likes group are likely to be responsible for biological phosphorus removal in SBR operation supplied with acetate.

본 연구에서는 연속회분식반응조 (Sequencing Batch Reactor, SBR)를 이용하여 친환경성 절삭유라는 이름으로 시판되는 절삭유 2종 (H사, B사)의 생물학적 처리능을 평가하였다. H사의 절삭유를 응집/응결 전처리 ($H_1$)하여 0.04-0.08kgCOD/kgMLSS d의 F/M비로 SBR로 유입한 경우, $BOD_5$와 $COD_{Cr}$의 평균 제거율은 각각 97%, 91%이상을 나타내었으며, T-N, T-P의 평균 제거율은 각각 76%, 81%이상을 나타내었다. B사의 절삭유를 희석한 후 ($B_1$) 0.01-0.02kgCOD/kgMLSS d의 F/M비에 맞추어 SBR로 유입한 경우, $COD_{Cr}$의 평균 제거율은 77% 이상을 나타내었다. 응집/응결 처리된 절삭유 (B2)를 0.01-0.04kgCOD/kgMLSS d의 F/M비에 맞추어 유입한 경우, $COD_{Cr}$의 평균 제거율은 85%이상을 나타내었다. 이후 실제 처리장에서 폐절삭유를 처리할 때 오수와 합병하여 처리하는 상황을 반영하기 위하여 $B_2$와 합성폐수를 혼합하여 ($B_3$) 0.09-0.11kgCOD/kgMLSS d의 F/M비에 맞추어 유입하였을 때, $BOD_5$와 $COD_{Cr}$의 평균 제거율은 각각 97%, 98%이상을 나타내었고 T-N, T-P의 평균 제거율은 각각 79%, 76%이상을 나타내었다. 그리고 생물학적 처리를 거친 $H_1$과 $B_3$에 대한 각각의 유출수의 ($COD_{Cr}$-$BOD_5$)/$COD_{Cr}$비는 각각 85%와 61%정도로 난분해성 유기물이 잔존하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A bench-scale reactor using SBR process was experimented with an synthetic wastewater. The main purpose of this investigation was to evaluate applicability in the field and process removal efficiencies in terms of BOD and T-P and its corresponding kinetic parameters. Removal rate of phosphorus was 77% in terms of total phosphorus. Effluent concentrations were $9.8mg/{\ell}$ BOD and $1.1mg/{\ell}$ T-P. Effluent quality was maintained consistently stable by controlling decant volume and operating cycles. The efficiency for phosphorus removal was increased due to decrease in BOD-SS loading value in the range of $0.25{\leq}$aeration time ratio${\leq}0.52$.

In this study, the treatment of livestock wastewater using an aerobic granular sludge based sequencing batch reactor was investigated. The reactor operation was carried out by general injection and split injection methods. The average removal efficiency of organic matter after the adaptation period was 71.5 and 87.4%, respectively. Some untreated organic matter was attributed to recalcitrant organic matter. The average removal efficiency of total nitrogen was 65.6 and 88.4%, respectively. These results indicate that the denitrification reaction by split injection was carried out smoothly. As for the solids, the ratio of aerobic granular sludge/mixed liquor suspended solid can be determined as the main factor of the process operation, and the ratio increased gradually and finally reached 86.0%. Correspondingly, the sludge volume index (SVI) was also improved, reaching 54 mL/g at the end of operation, and it is believed that the application of a short settling time contributed to the improvement of settleability.

혐기성 암모늄 산화공정을 안정화시키기 전에 많은 양의 식종 미생물 투여가 필요하므로 혐기성 암모늄 산화균의 농후배양은 실규모의 혐기성 암모늄 산화 반응기를 운영할 때 필수적인 과정이다. 본 연구에서는 활성슬러지 미생물을 식종한 연속 회분식 반응기를 이용하여 혐기성 암모늄 산화균을 농후배양하고, 미생물 군집구조의 변화를 관찰하여 농후배양 결과를 검증하였다. 혐기성 암모늄 산화균의 농후배양은 70일간 시행되었고, 농후배양 후 활성시험에서 $NH_4\;^+$와 $NO_2\;^-$의 기질제거효율이 각각 98.5%와 90.7%로 관찰되어 혐기성 암모늄 산화균의 배양이 성공적으로 수행된 것으로 판단되었다. 계통분류학적 분지도 작성 결과, 다양하였던 Planctomycetes 문(phylum)의 미생물 군집구조가 농후배양 이후에 현저하게 단순해졌다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 농후배양 이후 발견된 36개의 clone들 모두가 혐기성 암모늄 산화균이었으며, Candidatus Brocadia (36%) 와 Candidatus Anammoxoglobus (64%) 속(genus)에 속하였다. RTQ-PCR (real-time quantitative PCR)을 통해 혐기성 암모늄 산화균을 정량한 결과, 혐기성 암모늄 산화 상향류식 연속 배양기에서 1년 이상 선택 배양된 붉은색 혐기성암모늄 산화 입상 슬러지에 비해 혐기성 암모늄 산화균의 16S rDNA 농도가 74.8%인 것으로 나타났다. 상기의 분자생물학적 분석을 통해 70일간 농후배양된 활성슬러지가 혐기성 암모늄 산화 실용화 공정의 접종 미생물로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
