Domestic Sewage Treatment Plants are mostly based on biological treatment, in which large amounts of excess sludge are generated and occupy about 40 ~ 60% of the total sewage treatment costs. Several methods for sludge treatment has been so far reported as upgrading biodegradation of sludge; heat treatment, chemical treatment, including thermo-alkali and ozone, mechanical treatment including ultrasonic pulverization. But, it has a limitation in case of reducing the amount of excess sludge which are already producted. In this study, application of excess sludge reduction process using thermophilic aerobic bacteria for activated sludge was examined. The research was carried out two different stage. one for a biological wastewater treatment and the other for a thermophilic aerobic solubilization of the waste sludge. A portion of excess sludge from the wastewater treatment step was into the thermophilic aerobic sludge solubilization reactor, in which the injected sludge was solubilized by thermophilic aerobic bacteria. The solubilized sludge was returned to the aeration tank in the wastewater treatment step for its further degradation. Sludge solubilization reactor was operated at $63{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ with hydraulic retention time(HRT) of 1.5 ~ 1.7 day. Control group was operated with activated sludge process(AS) and experiment group was operated with three conditions(RUN 1, RUN 2, RUN3). RUN 1 was operated with AS without sludge solubilization reactor. RUN 2 were operated with AS with sludge solubilization reactor to examine correlation between sludge circulation ratio and sludge reduction ratio by setting up sludge circulation ratio to 3. RUN 3 was operated with sludge circulation ratio of 3 and MLSS concentration of 1,700~2,000mg/L to examine optimum operation condition. The quantity of excess sludge production was reduced sharply and in operation of RUN 3, sludge The quantity of excess sludge production was reduced sharply and in operation of RUN 3, sludge solubilization ratio and sludge reduction ratio were 53. 7%, 95.2% respectively. After steady state operation, average concentration of TBOD, SBOD, $TCOD_{Cr}$, $SCOD_{Cr}$, TSS, VSS, T-N, T-P of effluent were 4.5, 1.7, 27 .8, 13.8, 8.1, 6.2, 15.1, 1.8mg/L in the control group and were 5.6, 2.0, 28.6, 19.1, 9.7, 7.2, 16.1, 2.0mg/L in the experimental group respectively. They were appropriate to effluent standard of Sewage Treatment Plants.

전 국가적으로 많은 정수장에서는 강화된 수질기준을 준수하는데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 일반적으로 정수장 배출수처리시설은 고탁도를 기준으로 설계되기 때문에, 평상시에는 설계된 기간보다 장기간 체류할 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 평균 혹은 저탁도 원수가 유입되는 대부분 기간 동안 슬러지는 농축조에서 장기체류하기 때문에 혐기화되어, 용해성 망간 및 클로로포름이 형성된다. 위 문제를 해결하기 위해서 경제적이고, 손쉽게 도입 가능한 슬러지 폭기 공법을 개발하였으며, 본 연구는 이 공법의 원리 및 효과를 분석한 것이다. 슬러지 폭기 공법의 원리는 산화된 입자성 망간이 용해성 망간으로 환원되는 것을 방지하며, 생성된 클로로포름을 대기중으로 배출 제거시키며, 슬러지 입자를 균질화 시켜 침강성을 개선하는 것이다. 위 공법의 효과분석을 위하여 정수장 농축조에서 슬러지를 폭기시킨 후 상징수의 망간 및 클로로포름을 측정하고, 슬러지의 고-액 계면의 높이를 측정한 결과, 비폭기 경우에 비해 망간은 41%, 클로로포름은 62% 슬러지 부피는 35% 감소되는 효과를 얻었다.

An anaerobic sludge-aerobic fixed-bed biofilm(packed with ceramic support carrier of 1 inch size) reactor system was built up to treat textile wastewater. The efficiency of reactor system was examined by determining the effects of textile wastewater ratio(from 25% to 100% at HRT 24 h). The influent range of SCOD concentration and color were 1,036~1,357 mg/L, and 1,487~1,853 degree, respectively. When textile wastewater ratio was 100% and hydraulic retention time was 24 hours, SCOD removal efficiency by the anaerobic stage were 39.2% 100% and hydraulic retention time was 24 hours, SCOD removal efficiency by the anaerobic stage were 39.2% and the removal efficiency of the whole system were 75.8%. Color removal efficiency by the anaerobic stage were 45.4%(soluble color), and the removal efficiency of the whole system were 70.2%. In the A/A reactor system, the aerobic stage played an important role in removing both color and COD as well as anaerobic stage.

상향류 혐기성 블랭킷 반응조를 이용한 매립지 침출수 처리시 입상슬러지 첨가 유무에 상관없이 성공적인 처리가 가능하였다. 입상슬러지의 첨가는 초기 운전기간를 현저히 단축할 수 있었다. 수리학적 체류시간 1일과 $4-8kgCOD/m^3.d$ 의 유기물 부하율에서 Control 반응조와 Granule 반응조의 COD 제거율은 90% 이상을 유지하였다. 실험기간 동안 입상슬러지 첨가 유무에 상관없이 슬러지 표면과 반응조 벽면에 무기 침전물이 축적되었다. 비메탄 활성도는 미생물의 기질에 대한 적응도와 유기물 부하량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. Granule 반응조의 최대 비메탄 활성도의 값은 $0.57gCOD/g{\cdot}VSS{\cdot}.d$로 나타났다. 비록 본 연구에서는 과도한 무기물 축적으로 인한 비메탄 활성도의 저감은 발생하지 않았으나 무기물의 제거를 위하여 유입수의 전처리 공정이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A lab-scale Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (ABR) was applied to treat a primary sludge taken from a municipal wastewater treatment plant. In this experiment, acidogenic reaction was promoted by operating the ABR with short hydraulic retention time (HRT) to produce sufficient volatile fatty acids (VFA) instead of production of methane. The performance of ABR on the VFA production and total solids reduction was observed with different operating conditions with 2, 4, 6, and 8 days of HRT. Corresponding organic loading rates were 6.7, 3.4, 2.2, and $1.6kgCOD_{cr}/m^3{\cdot}day$. As HRT increased the removal rate of TCOD was also increased (82.5, 84.2, 96.9, and 95.9 % in average for HRT of 2, 4, 6, and 8 days, respectively) because the settlement of solids was enhanced in the baffle by the decrease of upflow velocity. At HRT of 2 days the average concentration of VFA in the effluent was measured at $1,306{\pm}552$ mgCOD/L corresponding to 107 % increment as compared to the VFA concentration in the influent. However, as HRT increased VFA concentraiotn was decreased to $143{\pm}552$ mgCOD/L at HRT of 8 days. The reduction rates of total solids were 12.2, 26.5, 24.8, and 43.0 % for HRT of 2, 4, 6, and 8 days. As HRT increased the hydrolysis of organic particulate matters in the reactor was enhanced due to the increasing of solids retention time in the baffle zone with low upflow velocity in long HRT condition. Consequently, we found that a primary sludge became a good source of VFA production by the application of ABR process with HRT less than 4 days and the 12-26 % of total solids reduction was expected at these conditions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of low temperature thermal pre-treatment on biodegradation of waste activated sludge for anaerobic digestion as a countermeasure for increasing sludge generation. The experimental condition was accomplished in 2 %, 4 %, and 6 % TS concentration, and $70^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$ of temperature for a maximum of 120 minutes retention time. Then, it was followed by analysis of physical/chemical properties, BMP test and composition of biogas. The biogas characteristic was evaluated by applying the modified Gomperz model. As a result, solubility of dissolved substrate, such as $SCOD_{Cr}$, soluble carbohydrate, and soluble protein, and biogas production increased as temperature increased. Solubilization efficiency at $90^{\circ}C$ was 18.4 %, 17.03 % and 16.88% in 2 %, 4 %, and 6 % TS concentration respectively. Also, solubilization rates of carbohydrate and protein similarly increased. BMP test results also showed that methane production in excess sludge increased to 0.194, 0.187 and $0.182m^3/kg$ VS. respectively, and lag phase decreased to 0.145, 0.220, 0.351 day due to acceleration of the hydrolysis step. Consequently, low-temperature thermal pre-treatment could increase biodegradability of sludge, positively affecting biogas production and sludge reduction.

본 연구는 오염이 심한 유수지를 지속적으로 양호한 수질로 유지하기 위한 효율적 방안을 모색하고자 수행되었다. 유수지 수질을 양호하게 유지하려면 외부로부터 유입되는 비점오염원의 유입 차단이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이의 방안으로 다공성 슬래그의 활용을 제안하였다. 다공성 슬래그 넷트를 유수지에 설치하는 경우의 수질 변화를 알아보기 위하여 오염물질의 제거 정도를 실험하였다. 그 결과 접촉 시간과 인 제거 효율 간에는 높은 상관관계($r^2=0.9765$)를 나타내어 접촉시간이 처리효율에 미치는 중요한 인자임을 알 수 있었으며, 인과 부유물질은 조제 시료, 생물학적 처리수, 하수 모두 다공성 슬래그 충전상을 통과하면서 높은 효율로 제거됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이로부터 비점오염원의 유입 방지를 위하여 유수지 수중 내부와 외부 호안에 다공성 슬래그 충전상의 설치방안을 제안하였다.

혐기성 소화효율의 극대화를 위해 온도상분리 공정과 혐기성 회분식 공정을 음식물 쓰레기와 하수슬러지의 혼합기질에 적용한 온도상분리 혐기성 회분식 소화공정(TPAD-ASBR)의 거동 특성을 유기물부하의 변화에 따라 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. TPAD-ASBR 과 대조구의 첫 단에서 대부분의 메탄생성과 유기물 제거가 이루어졌으며, 단위부피당 메탄발생량은 유기물부하 2.7 g VS/L/d에서 각각 0.79와 0.59L $CH_4/L/d$ 였다. 동일 부하에서 TPAD-ASBR의 유기물 제거효율은 61%이었으며 40%의 효율을 보인 대조구에 비해 고온조를 도입한 본 공정의 우수성을 확인하였다. 국내 하수슬러지는 상대적으로 낮은 VS 농도(1.5%, w/w)와 낮은 생분해 효율을 보이는데, 이러한 부정적 특성을 보완하기 위하여 투입된 음식물쓰레기에 의한 기질 특성의 효과적인 개선으로 인해 높은 유기물 감량과 메탄회수가 가능하였다. 또한, track study를 통해 연속회분식 운전방식에 의한 settling 단계의 도입으로 SRT를 HRT보다 길게 유지하여 미처리 입자와 active biomass의 효율적이고 지속적인 접촉을 도모하여 보다 높은 안정화효율 획득이 가능한 것으로 사료된다. 따라서, 혐기성소화공정에 TPAD-ASBR공정과 함께 음식물쓰레기와의 혼합소화를 도입하는 것은 처분이 까다로운 두 가지의 폐기물을 고효율로 처리함과 동시에 효율적인 에너지회수가 가능하여 경제적 운전이 가능하였다.

In this study, we investigated the variations of the kinetic coefficients and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), N and P mass used for assimilation of a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system with the variation of SRTs; SRTs of 7.5, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0 and 20.0 days were tested in one cycle of SBR operation to determine the optimum conditions for the operation of the SBR and estimate its COD, nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies. The SBR system was operated under the conditions as follows: an operation time of 6 hours per cycle, a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 12 hours, an influent COD loading of $0.4kg/m^3/day$, and an influent nitrogen loading of $0.068kgT-N/m^3/day$. The yield coefficient (Y) and decay rate coefficient ($k_d$) were estimated to be 0.4198 kgMLVSS/kgCOD and $0.0107day^{-1}$ by calculating the removal rate of substrate according to the variation of SRT. Considering total nitrogen amount removed by sludge waste process, eliminated by denitrification, and in clarified water effluent with reference to 150 mg/cycle of influent nitrogen amount, the percentage of nitrogen mass balance from the ratio of the nitrogen amount in effluent (N output) to that in influent (N input) for Runs 1~5 were 95.5, 97.0, 95.5, 99.5, and 95.5%, respectively, which is well accounted for, with mass balances close to 100%.
