Purpose: Since the food wastewater contains a high concentration of nitrogen, it is very important to find a way to efficiently remove it. Research design, data and methodology: A total of four experiments were conducted under different conditions to remove ammonia nitrogen present in the food wastewater. The experiment was designed by adding sodium hypochlorite to the raw food wastewater and varying conditions such as pH control, aeration/precipitation, and stirring. Results: The ammonia nitrogen removal rate in Experiment 1 was about 12% (sodium hypochlorite added), ammonia nitrogen increased about 4.7% in Experiment 2 (sodium hypochlorite added after aeration/precipitation in a bioreaction tank, stirring), and decreased about 52.5% (sodium hypochlorite added after controlling and stirring). Conclusions: When the concentration of sodium hypochlorite was high, ammonia nitrogen was best removed, and the pH was adjusted to 12, and sodium hypochlorite was added after stirring, and the removal was the second best. If the method of this study is further studied and developed, it can be basic data for ammonia nitrogen removal in the future.

This paper proposes a modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) type membrane bioreactor (MBR) as a method of treatment for wastewater from food waste disposer. Micro-membrane filtration allows for an extremely low concentration of suspended solids in the effluent. The effluent of the reactor in question is characterized by a relatively high level of non-biodegradable organics, containing a substantial amount of soluble microbial products and biomass. Results obtained in this paper by measurement of membrane fouling are consistent with biomass concentration in the reactor, as opposed to chemical oxygen demand (COD). The MLE process is shown to be effective for the treatment of wastewater with a high COD/N ratio of 20, resulting in are markedly high total nitrogen removal efficiency. Denitrification could be improved at a higher internal recycle ratio. Despite the low concentration of influent phosphorus, the phosphorus concentration of the outflow is seen to be relatively high. This is because outflow phosphorous concentration is related to COD consumption, and the process operates at along solids retention time.

음식물류 폐기물 자원화과정에서 발생하는 폐수는 BOD 20,000~150,000mg/L이며, 매립금지로 적정수준까지 처리되어야 한다. 그러나 기존의 폐수처리시설에 의해서는 10일 이하로 처리하기가 불가능하다. (주)에코데이는 높은 산소전달효율, 높은 미생물(MLVSS) 유지와 유기물 농도 모두가 상향류의 PFR흐름을 갖는 ER-1 반응기를 이용하여 2~4일 이내로 처리할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. 하루 20톤의 음식물을 퇴비화 하는 H군 음식물 자원화시설에 Pilot plant를 설치하고, 자원화 과정에서 발생하는 고농도폐수(평균 BOD 64,431mg/L)와 저농도폐수(평균 BOD 16,500mg/L)에 대해 6개월간 실험하였다. 저농도폐수의 처리를 위해서 ER-1(HRT 2.5d)과 후단에 고도처리공정을 적용하였으며, 이때 전체공정에서 제거되는 유기물의 대부분이 ER-1을 통해 제거되었다. 저농도폐수 Pilot plant의 처리효율은 BOD 99%, COD 98%, SS 99%, T-N 97%, T-P 96%이다. 고농도 폐수 처리공정은 ER-1을 직렬로 배치하여 2단계 ER-1(1차 HRT 2.5d, 2차 HRT 1.5d) 후 고액분리를 통해 하수연계(BOD 2,000mg/L 이하)로 계획하였다. Pilot 실험결과 고농도 폐수에 대해서도 BOD 97%, COD 84%, SS 98%, T-N 66%, T-P 95%의 안정적인 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 고농도 폐수처리시에 생물반응기의 냉각시설 없이 고온($50^{\circ}C$)으로 운전되었으나, 온도 조절 부분을 개선한다면 더 높은 효율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: Since 2013, marine dumping of wastewater has been banned, and research on eco-friendly and efficient land treatment has emerged. This study compared and tested changes in biogas production and anaerobic process efficiency depending on whether or not enzyme pretreatment was performed during anaerobic digestion from single-phase and two-phase to medium-temperature. Research design, data and methodology: The total sugar, direct sugar, pH, and acidity before and after fermentation were analyzed by G/C by anaerobic fermentation of the liquor wastewater, food wastewater 1, and food wastewater 2 at 30℃ for 67 hours, and the amount of methane gas generated was analyzed by balloon volume. Results: It was found that stable organic acid concentration and pH were found in the enzyme-treated food wastewater 2, and the amount of methane gas generated was also increased. Conclusions: When anaerobic digestion of the liquor wastewater and the food wastewater together, the performance of enzyme pretreatment resulted in increased digestive efficiency. It will be the basic data that can contribute to carbon neutrality and greenhouse gas reduction by increasing the production of biogas.

The removal efficiencies and a total oxygen transfer coefficient for food waste leachate(FWL) were estimated by using Jet Loop Reactor(JLR). Pure oxygen was used instead of air to improve oxygen concentration in the JLR for high total chemical oxygen demamd(TCOD) in FWL. In JLB, in order to examining the oxygen transfer characteristic, the circulation flowrate and oxygen flowrate were controlled with 7~10 L/min(1.5 L/min interval) and 0.2~0.5 L/min (0.1 L/min interval) and we experimented according to the each condition. As a result, Oxygen uptake rate(OUR) and oxygen transfer rate could be maximized than the oxygen flowrate to increase the circulation flowrate. In addition, it determined that JLR using the pure oxygen which can obtain the greatest oxygen transfer rate as it was the high-concentration organic wastewater like the food waste leachate through the continuous experiment was appropriate.

혐기성 미생물에 저해가 되는 물질을 포함하는 고농도 폐수의 효모에 의한 처리에 관하여 연구하였다. 폐수는 furfural 부산물이 배출되는 식품가공 공정의 배출폐수를 대상으로 실험하였다. 본 연구에서는 호기성 효모의 일종인 Candida utilis가 실험에 적용되었다. 회분 실험을 통하여 본 폐수는 혐기성 미생물에 저해 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 공정의 최적 온도는 25에서 45$^{\circ}C$이었으며 효모의 성장에 적당한 pH는 4에서 8사이임을 알 수 있었다. 연속실험 결과, 체류시간 1일 이상에서 COD가 90% 이상 제거되었다. 그러나 유출수 중의 유기물 농도는 여전히 다소 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 동력학적으로 해석하여 추정한 결과 남은 유기물은 대부분은 용존 미생물 생성물 (SMP, Soluble Microbial Product)에서 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다.

Microalgal biofuel production from wastewater has economic and environmental advantages. This article investigates the lipid production from high chemical oxygen demand (COD) bioethanol wastewater without dilution or additional nutrients, using a newly isolated heterotrophic microalga, Chlorella vulgaris LAM-Q. To enhance lipid accumulation, the combined effects of important operational parameters were studied via response surface methodology. The optimal conditions were found to be temperature of $22.8^{\circ}C$, initial pH of 6.7, and inoculum density of $1.2{\times}10^8cells/ml$. Under these conditions, the lipid productivity reached 195.96 mg/l/d, which was markedly higher than previously reported values in similar systems. According to the fatty acid composition, the obtained lipids were suitable feedstock for biodiesel production. Meanwhile, 61.40% of COD, 51.24% of total nitrogen, and 58.76% of total phosphorus were removed from the bioethanol wastewater during microalgal growth. In addition, 19.17% of the energy contained in the wastewater was transferred to the microalgal biomass in the fermentation process. These findings suggest that C. vulgaris LAM-Q can efficiently produce lipids from high-concentration bioethanol wastewater, and simultaneously performs wastewater treatment.

This study reports for the first time the application of electrocoagulation (EC) from laboratory to pilot scales for the treatment of printing wastewater, a hazardous waste whose treatment and disposal are strictly regulated. The wastewater was taken from three real printing companies with strongly varying characteristics. The treatment process was performed in the laboratory for operational optimization and then applied in the pilot scale. The weight loss of the electrode and the generation of sludge at both scales were compared. The results show that the raw wastewater should be diluted before EC treatment if its COD is higher than about 10,000 mg/L. Pilot scale removal efficiencies of COD and color were slightly lower compared to those obtained from the laboratory scale. At pilot scale, the effluent CODs removal efficiency was 81.9 - 88.9% (final concentration of 448 - 992 mg/L) and color removal efficiency was 95.8 - 98.6% (final level of 89 - 202 Pt-Co) which proved the feasibility of EC treatment as an effective pre-treatment method for printing wastewater as well as other high colored and hard-biodegradable wastewaters.

Sea food wastewater including high concentration of organics and nutrients is hard to treat stably by established traditional activated sludge process. This research is aimed to obey more and more of strengthened the law and to secure stable effluents by using advanced treatment process applied membrane filter in aeration tank for treatment of wastewater from marine products. It must maintain pH of influent over 6.0 to keep up stably biological sludge of advanced treatment process. At 38hr of HRT, removal rates of TBOD and TCOD were 99.9% and 99.4% respectively and TSS also removed with high efficiency. Most organics in the effluent was constituted with soluble type materials, it caused that membrane filter installed aeration tank should remove minute suspended particles. The reactor was operated well to get stable treatment results for operation period, in spite of high loading of organics like that $0.67{\sim}1.67\;kgTBOD/m^3/day$ of organics loading and $0.10{\sim}0.21\;kgBOD_5/kgMLSS/day$ of F/M ratio. At $36{\sim}48hr$ of HRT, removal rates of T-N and T-P were $89.7{\sim}90.7%\;and\;91.5{\sim}96.0%$ respectively. It means this treatment process also work to remove nutrients of high concentration. Upon investigation of advanced treatment's operation factors, optimum SRT was about 30days and average SNR that showed tendency to increase according to increase water temperature was calculated 0.014 gN/g MLVSS/d. SDNR was risen in conformity to increase F/M ratio of Non-aeration tank and investigated as $0.038{\sim}0.051\;gN/gMLVSS/d$.

현대와 같이 대량의 폐수가 유출되는 시점에서 처리는 재이용을 고려한 질적 개념과 양적 개념을 고려해야 한다. 양적 개념을 고려할 경우, 고율법(high rate aeration)은 현재까지 알려진 공법 중 가장 효과적인 공법으로 알려져 있으나, 이는 처리량이나 처리속도 면에서 고율법을 능가하는 UHR(ultra high rate) 공법을 제시한 바 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이미 이 가 밝힌 UHR법의 적용부하, 적용농도 등 기초적 설계범위 및 처리특성을 밝히기 위해 실행되었다. 실험 결과 본법의 적용 가능부하는 $2.2{\sim}7.0kg-BOD_5/kg-MLSS{\cdot}day$로 고율법의 최대 적용부하인 $2.25kg-BOD_5/kg-MLSS{\cdot}day$을 3배 이상 초과하였다. 또한 유입수 농도 200에서 450 mg/L범위에서 처리율은 94.7~97.3%로 매우 양호한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 처리의 양적 개념에서 볼 때 기존의 어떤 처리법보다 UHR법은 매우 획기적인 처리법으로 고려된다.
