This study has been conducted to investigate biodegradation characteristics and optimum mixing ratio for co-digestion with thermophilic acid-fermented food waste and sewage sludge using batch anaerobic digester. As the basis operating conditions for anaerobic digestion, the reaction temperature was controlled $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and stirrer was set 70rpm. Thermophilic acid-fermented food waste and sewage sludge were mixed at the ratio of 10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 0:10 and 5;5(food waste : sewage sludge) as the influent substrates. In results of co-digestion according to mixing ratio of thermophilic fermented food wastes and sewage sludge in batch mesophilic anaerobic digestion reactor, $385mL\;CH_4/g\;VS_{added}$ of methane production rate at 1:1 mixing ratio was more than that of any other mixing ratios. Compared with $293mL\;CH_4/g\;VS_{added}$ of methane production rate at 1:1 mixing ratio of food wastes and sewage sludge, pretreatment of food wastes by thermophilic acid fermentation was more effective in co-digestion with sewage sludge.

This study has been conducted to optimum operating conditions for effective acid fermentation according to OLR(organic loading rate) in the mesophilic and thermophilic acid fermentation process. The results are summarized as follows. In order to obtain reasonable acid fermentation efficiency in performing acid fermentation of food wastes in thermophilic condition, organic loading rate was required below 20 gVS/L.d. As $SCOD_{Cr}/TKN,\;SCOD_{Cr}/T-P$ of thermophilic acid fermented food wastes In organic loading rate 20 gVS/L.d were 18.9, 73.4 respectively, it was possible to utilize as external carbon source for denitrification in sewage treatment plant after solid-liquid separation as well as co-digestion of fermented food wastes and sewage sludge.

본 연구에서는 실험실 규모의 혐기성 소화 실험을 통하여 고온산발효를 거친 음식물찌꺼기 산발효액과 하수슬러지의 적정 혼합비와 유기물 부하율에 따른 반응조 운전특성을 분석하여 실제 플랜트에 적용가능성을 검토하여 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 음식물지꺼기 고온 산발효액과 하수슬러지를 혼합하여 반연속식으로 혐기성 소화실험을 실시한 결과 유기물 부하율 3.3 gVS/L.d(혼합비 1:1)에서 최적인 것으로 평가되었는데, 이때 SCOD 제거효율은 평균 74.2%, VS 제거효율은 73.6%, 주입된 VS당 생성된 가스량은 $0.440{\ell}/g\;Vs_{add}.d$였으며 평균 메탄 함량은 66.5%로 나타났다. 이는 기존에 음식물찌꺼기를 하수처리장의 중온 소화조에서 처리할 때의 유기물 부하보다 높아 효율성, 경제성에서 유리한 것으로 판단되었다.
