The effectiveness of add-on tertiary treatment processes for the polishing of the effluent of a biological nutrient removal (BNR) system from a modified $A^2/O$ process has been examined under the field condition with pilot-scale plants. The add-on treatment processes of 1) combined biofilm anoxic reactor and sand filtration, and 2) two-stage denitrification filter had been operated with various operating conditions. The experimental results indicated that two-stage denitrification filter could produced a better polished tertiary effluent. Filtration rate of $150m^3/m^2{\cdot}d$ for the 2-stage denitrifying filter could decrease the nitrate removal probably due to shorter detention time that caused insufficient reaction for denitrification. Two stage denitrification filter operated with M/N ratio of 3.0 and filtration rate of $100m^3/m^2{\cdot}d$ produced the tertiary effluent with nitrate and SS concentraitons of 2.8 mg/L and 2.3 mg/L, respectively. When the operating temperature reduced $30^{\circ}C$ to $18^{\circ}C$, $NO_3{^-}-N$ removal efficiency decreased from 73% to 68%.

The treatment performance and operational parameters of a tertiary wastewater treatment process a biological filtration system were investigated. The biological filtration system consisted of a nitrification filter (Fiter 1) and a polishing filter with anoxic and aerobic parts (Filter 2). SS, T-C-BOD, and T-N in effluent were kept stable at less than 3, 5 mg/L, and 5 mgN/L, respectively, under a HRT in Filter (filter-bed) of 0.37~2.3 h. T-N at the outlet of Filter 2 were about 1~5 mgN/L under the condition of LV of 50~202 m/d. In Filter 2, denitrification was accomplished under LV of 50~168 m/d in a 1 m filter-bed. However, the denitrification capacity reached the maximum when the linear velocity was increased to 202 m/d. Relationship between increase in microorganism and headloss was clearer in Filter 2. As a result, the denitrification rate increased from 1.0~2.3 kgN/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) as the headloss increased. The COD removal rate was 6.0~9.6 kgCOD/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) when operated with Filters 1 and 2. These results mean that captured bacteria contributed a part of COD consumption and denitrification. The maximum nitrification and denitrification rate was 0.5 and 4 kgN/($m^3-filter-bed{\cdot}d$) in Filter 1 and 2.The ratio of backwashing water to the treated water was about 5~10 %. In Filter 1, wasted sludge in backwashing was only 0.7~5.3 gSS/($m^3$-treated water). In Filter 2, added methanol was converted into sludge and its value was 8.0~24 gSS/($m^3$-treated water). These results proved that this process is both convenient to install as tertiary treatment and cost effective to build and operate.

A new type of biofilter packed with composite carriers was designed for tertiary denitrification of the secondary effluent with removal of both oxidized nitrogen and suspended solids (SS). At the empty bed residence time of 15 min and organic carbon to nitrate nitrogen ($C/NO_3-N$) ratios of 2, 1.5 and 1 g/g, the removal percentage of $NO_3-N$ was 67%, 58% and 36% in the ethanol biofilter, and was 61%, 43% and 26% in the acetate biofilter, respectively. The biofilters packed with composite carriers removed SS effectively, with the effluent turbidity in both biofilters of less than 3 NTU. During the operating cycle between the biofilter backwashings, the $NO_3-N$ removal percentage decreased initially after backwashing, and then gradually increased. Under $C/NO_3-N$ ratios of 2, 1.5 and 1 g/g, the $NO_3-N$ reduction rate was 1.75, 1.04 and $0.68g/m^2/d$ in the ethanol biofilter, and was 1.56, 1.07 and $0.76g/m^2/d$ in the acetate biofilter, respectively. In addition, during denitrification, the ratio of the consumed chemical oxygen demand to the removed $NO_3-N$ was 5.06-8.23 g/g in the ethanol biofilter, and was 4.26-8.6 g/g in the acetate biofilter.

The study was conducted with two laboratory biological aerated filter (BAF) reactors: denitrification filter (DF) and nitrification BAF. The influent flow (Q) was fixed to 48 L/d and total empty bed contact time (EBCT) was 1 hr. The flow direction was upflow with NRCY of 1 to 2Q. The secondary effluent was fed to the reactors and the influent concentrations were adjusted with some stock solutions to simulate by-pass concentration during rainfall. The study results indicate that COD and SS removal efficiencies were excellent and not influenced by temperature. Nitrification efficiency was over 90% at the influent loading less than $1.12kg/media\;m^3/d$, but the efficiencies were decreased in low temperature. TN removal efficiencies were 10% to 60%.

토양/대수층 처리(Soil Aquifer Treatment, SAT)는 하수처리장으로부터의 2차 또는 3차 처리수를 대수층으로 침투시켜, 토양 매질에서 일어나는 물리적/생화학적 반응에 의해 재처리하는 용수 재이용 기술이다. SAT에서의 주요 관심 대상은 유기물과 질소화합물의 제거와 이송에 있다. 본 연구에서는 암모늄의 질산화 반응, 질소산회물의 탈질 반응, 그리고 유기물의 산화반응을 고려하여 SAT에서 일어나는 반응 메커니즘을 규명하고 이를 지하수 흐름과 이송 모렐 에 접목시킴으로써 SAT 모델링 시스템을 구현하고자 하였다. 실험실 일차원 불포화 토양 컬럼 실험을 통한 모델 검증에서 암모늄, 질산성 질소, DOC, 용존산소 모두 일정한 농도 범위 안에서 일치하였다. 모델 변수에 대한 민감도 분석에서, 암모늄 분배계수는 유출부의 암모늄 농도에, 용존산소 저해상수는 유출부의 유기물 농도에, 그리고 미생물 감쇄계수는 유출부의 용존산소 농도에 영향을 주었다.

Nitrate removal was examined from May to October 2003 of a surface flow treatment wetland cell, which was a part of a treatment wetland system composed of four wetland cells and a distribution pond The system was established on rice paddy near the Kohung Estuarine Lake located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Effluent from a secondary-level night soil treatment plant was funneled into the system. The investigated cell, 87 m in length and 14 m in width, was created in April 2003. An open water was designed at its center, which was equivalent to 10 percent of its total area. Cattails (Typha angustifolia) were transplanted from natural wetlands into the cell and their stems were cut at about 40cm height from their bottom ends. Average $25.0\;m^3/day$ of effluent from the treatment plant was funneled into the cell by gravity flow and average $24.1\;m^3/day$ of its treated effluent was discharged into the Sinyang Stream flowing into the lake. Its water depth was maintained about 0.2 m and its hydraulic detention time averaged 5.2 days. Average height of the cattail stems was 42.5 cm in May 2M3 and 117.7 cm in September 2003. The number of stems averaged $9.5\;stems/m^2$ in May 2003 and $16.4\;stems/m^2$ in September 2003. The growth of cattails was good. Temperature of influent and effluent averaged 25.9 and $26.7^{\circ}C$, respectively. $NO_3$-N loading rate of influent and effluent averaged 176.67 and $88.09\;mg/m^2\;day$, respectively. Removal of rf03-N averaged $89.58\;mg/m^2\;day$ and its removal rate by mass was about 50%. Considering its initial operating stage in which cattail rhizomes and litter layer on the bottom were not Idly established, the $NO_3$-N removal rate of the cell was rather good.

본연구의 목적은 국내의 기존 하 폐수처리장에 생물막을 적용하여 BNR공정으로 전환 및 개조하거나 생물막 공법을 적용한 BNR공정을 3차 처리로 적용할 수 있는 새로운 공정을 개발하는 데 있다. 우리 나라 하수의 $SCOD_{cr}/T-N(NH_4{^+}-N+NOx-N) $ 비는 다른 나라에 비하여 상대적으로 낮기 때문에 완전한 탈질화를 얻기 위해서는 외부탄소원을 반드시 공급해야만 한다. 본 연구에서의 $SCOD_{cr}/NH_4{^+}-N$비는 2.49이었으며, 실험기간 동안 유입수 $NH_4{^+}-N$농도는 25에서 37 mg/L로 변화되었다. 하수처리시 질소제거능을 향상시키기 위하여 R-1(무산소/중간침전조/호기성/무산소/호기성)과 R-2(호기성/중간침전조/무산소/무산소/호기성)의 생물막을 이용하는 두 공정을 적용하였다. 외부탄소원을 투여하지 않은 조건에서 $NH_4{^+}-N$와 T-N의 유출수질과 제거효율은 R-1공정이 R-2공정에 비하여 하수로부터 질소제거에 보다 적절한 것으로 평가되었다. 무산소 반응조의 $SCOD_{cr}/NOx-N$비와 T-N제거효율을 고려하였을 때, R-1공정이 원하수내 유기물질의 분배에 있어서 더 효과적인 것으로 사료되었다. R-1 공정과 R-2공정에서 1 g의 $NH_4{^+}-N$를 제거하는데 요구되는 알칼리도는 R-1과 R-2 각각 5.18과 5.76(g $CaCO_3/g$ removed $NH_4{^+}-N$)이었으며, 이는 활성슬러지 BNR공정에 비하여 낮았다.
