Using the anaerobic digester gas as a fuel, fuel cells have the potential to provide significant environmental and economic benefits. A molten carbonate fuel cell power plant was installed in the municipal sewage works of Tancheon in Seoul. The fuel cell unit operates on anaerobic digester gas and provides power and heat for the sewage works. This is the first project of its kind in Korea. This article outlines the experiences of gas purification process with planning, installation and operation. The engineering and installation phase is described regarding to the special features of digester gas, for example impurities in gas composition. Such impurities would be harmful to fuel cells. Operational results from the field test with a gas purification process plant are presented in this paper.

This study thus looks into two treatment processess : i) Anaerobic digester coupled with hollow fibre membrane unit. Treatment of starch waste with anaerobic digester-membrane system was studied. $0.17\m^2$ area of hollow fibre membrane unit of known pore size was immersed into laboratory-scale anaerobic digestion system. The pore size of membrane was varied from 0.03 to $\0.15mu$m. The hydraulic retention time of anaerobic digester was varied from 1.5 to 10 days. The effect of hydraulic retention time on treatment efficiency was significant while effect of membrane size was not significant. The gas production was about 0.74㎥/kg COD treated. The COD removal efficient was about 80-95% depending on the hydraulic retention time. ii ) Crossflow ultrafiltration as post treatment to anaerobic filter. The effluent from anaerobic filter, which had a total COD in the range of 4,500-5,200 mg/L was treated by crossflow ultrafiltration units. The study conducted with different membrane pore size indicated that membrace with 1,000,000 molecular weight cut-off size gave a higher COD removal efficiency in the range of 83-87% while giving a study flux of $120-130 L/\m^2$.h. A study was conducted to see the long term clogging effect of membrane also.

요즘 음식물쓰레기를 혐기성소화조에서 바이오가스와 유기성 퇴비를 생산하고자 하는 연구가 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음식물쓰레기를 미생물제재로 발효시켜 바이오가스와 퇴비를 생산하기 위한 기초실험을 행하였다. 먼저, 각종 미생물을 조합하여 미생물재제를 개발하고, 이를 음식물쓰레기 Batch실험에서 발생하는 바이오가스 발생량을 확인하였다. 또한 실증플랜트에서 바이오가스 발생량과 퇴비화를 통해 혐기성소화조 바이오가스 생산 극대화와 실증화를 확인하였다.

3리터의 실험실 크기의 플러그 흐름의 혐기성 소화기를 사용하여 grain dust로부터 메탄가스를 생산하였다. 이 실험에서 사용한 소화기는 온도(35, 45, 55$^{\circ}C$), 체류 시간(6, 12일), 초기농도(7.8, 9.0% Total Solids)의 함수로 10가지 조건에서 실험이 행하여 졌는데, 실험 결과 55$^{\circ}C$, 6일 HRT, 7.8%TS 에서 가장 높은 메탄가스를 생산하였으며, 실험결과를 토대로 메탄가스생산 관계식을 제시하였다. 또한, 위의 실험의 조건에서는 thermophilic 의 경우가 mesophilic 경우보다 메탄가스 생성이 좋은 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 축산폐수의 혐기성 처리 시 교반의 영향에 대하여 연구자에 따라 서로 다른 결과가 보고되어 우리나라 축산폐수에 적용 시 교반의 영향을 파악할 필요가 있어 실시하였다. 4개의 혐기성 소화조를 중온 또는 고온으로 유지하면서 연속적으로 교반시키거나 교반 시키지 않고 운전하였다. 온도가 같은 경우 연속으로 교반한 반응조가 교반하지 않은 반응조의 TCOD 제거효율에 비하여 0.11-0.58% 높게 나타났다. 그리고 중온 소화조의 TCOD 제거효율이 고온 소화조의 TCOD 제거효율과 거의 같아 온도에 따른 TCOD 제거효율 간에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 연속적으로 교반한 소화조의 가스 발생량이 교반하지 않은 소화조에 비하여 1.7-4.6% 많았다. 또한 중온 소화조의 가스 발생량은 고온 소화조보다 29.1-32.1% 높고 메탄 발생량도 많았는데 이는 고온 소화조의 암모니아 저해로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 실험 결과를 종합하면 축산폐수를 혐기성으로 처리 시 중온에서 운전되고 연속적으로 교반한 반응조의 운전 조건이 더 좋은 것으로 판단된다.

Anaerobic digestion system is getting more attractive in that it produces biogas in the process of organic waste stabilization. Net energy production is important when biogas production is concerned. In this study, net energy production was evaluated with respect to biogas production and heat losses in a hypothetical digester. Under the condition of digester operation with slurry inflow of 5% of TS, additional fuel is required to maintain digester temperature during the winder season. Substrate therefore, needs to have higher VS contents through co-digestion of silage or food waste that has greater values of methane production rate. Heating input slurry is important in cold season, which covers over 80% of heating requirement. Heat recovery from digestate is valuable to reduce the use of biogas for heating. It seems desirable to minimize slurry inflow when temperature is very low. Psychrophilic digestion may be a feasible option for reducing heating requirement.

This study was conducted to evaluate the organic removal efficiencies and sludge production in aerobic and anaerobic digestion of swine manure. A laboratory single-stage, high-rate, anaerobic digester was operated at 5, 10, 25 and 30 day's HRT at the temperature of 35$\circ$C, and also aerobic digester operated at 10, 20 and 28.6 day's HRT at the temperature of 20$\circ$C. The conclusions from this study are as follows: 1. While the BOD removal efficiency by anaerobic digestion was 30 to 75%, it was 99% over by aerobic digestion. 2. The sludge production was similar in both aerobic and anaerobic digestion. 3. The gas production was 0.21 to 0.55 m$^3$/kg VS fed by anaerobic digestion.

The swine waste industry is growing rapidly along with the world human population. The trend is toward more concentrated piggeries with numbers of herds in the thousands. Associated with these increased herds are large quantities of wastes, including organic matter, inorganic nutrients, and gaseous emissions. The trend in swine waste management is toward treatment of these wastes to minimize negative impact on the health and comfort of workers and animals and the atmosphere, water, and soil environments. Treatment of these wastes has traditionally involved land application, lagoons, oxidation ditches, and conventional batch and continuously stirred reactor designs. More sophisticated treatment systems are being implemented, involving advanced anaerobic digester designs, integrated with solids separation, aerobic polishing of digester effluents, and biological nutrient removal. This review discusses the present and future role of anaerobic processes in piggery waste treatment with emphasis on reactor design, operating and performance parameters, and effluent processing.

최근에 음식물쓰레기의 증가에 따라 폐기불의 처리가 현대사회의 큰 문제로 되었다. 본 연구는 음식물 쓰레기와 하수슬러지 혼합물의 2단 혐기성소화조에 의하여 소화의 가능성을 검토할 목적으로 수행되었다. 음식물쓰레기와 하수슬러지를 1:9의 비율로 하여 파이롯트 2단 소화시스템을 사용하여 현장에서 운전하였으며, 체류기간은 20일로 유지했다. $3.03kg\;TCOD/m^3day$의 유기물 부가에서 COD와 VS 제거효율이 57.7%와 47.7%를 보였으며, 가스 생성율과 메탄의 함량은 $0.4m^3/kg$ vs.day와 65.3%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로부터 하수슬러지와 음식물쓰레기의 혼합처리가 효과적인 것으로 밝혀 졌다.
