화학적인 슬러지 개량은 하수슬러지의 탈수성을 개선하기 위해 주로 사용된다. 이 공정은 개량제를 이용하여 처리한 후 농축 및 탈수된다. 본 연구는 DAF 부상장치를 이용하여 하수슬러지의 개량(혐기성 보관시간, 응집제 종류, 및 주입량) 및 부상조건(슬러지 농도 및 A/S 비)에 따른 부상농축효율을 평가한 것이다. 혐기성 보관시간에 따라 하수슬러지의 비표면적과 여과비저항은 증가하였다. $Al_2(SO_4)_3$, $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ 및 PSO-M을 주입하여 개량된 하수슬러지는 보관시간이 경과에 따라 부상농축효율이 거의 감소되지 않았다. 개량된 하수슬러지는 A/S 비가 0.01 mL/mg 이상이면, 부상농축효율이 저하되지 않고 96% 이상 유지할 수 있었다.

It is required to propose an alternatives for appropriate sludge treatment owing to persistent construction of sewage treatment plant and increase of sewage sludge quantity. In order to treat sludge more efficiently, the methods which reduce the cost of sludge treatment have been studied such as sludge reduction and conditioning. Especially ozone treatment reduces solid quantity and improves separation of solid-liquid at the same time. Therefore ozone treatment have a positive effect on reduction and stabilization of sludge. So, this study applied ozone to sewage sludge and induced cell destruction of sludge. By comparing with the correlation between thickening and dewatering, and evaluating moisture content and solubilization of cake, this study verificates the effect of process improvement for ozone pre-treatment. In J-STP case, according to ozone dose solid flux increased about 12 times from $1kg/m^2{\cdot}h$ to $12kg/m^2{\cdot}h$. Also this plant were capable to shorten thickening time from 40 minutes to 6~7 minutes. Thus it is expected to reduce volume and retention time of thickener. On pH effect factor, dewatering at pH4 was more than at pH11, $3.05{\times}10^{11}$ and $3.82{\times}10^{11}(m/kg)$. But effect of pH was analogous to ozone, $2.81{\times}10^{11}(m/kg)$. The effect of pH on thickening was similar to law sludge, $0.68(kg/m^2{\cdot}h)$, and the effect of ozone injection on thickening was the biggest, $3.45(kg/m^2{\cdot}h)$. The COD solubilization rate improved from about 5 to 30%. So it is judged that we are able to utilize most solubilized sludge to another sewage treatment plants.

본 연구는 미세기포 발생펌프가 장착된 하수슬러지 부상농축 장치를 이용하여 화학적인 개량 및 교반조건에 따른 하수슬러지 부상농축효율을 나타내었다. 하수슬러지의 부상농축은 Gt 값보다는 응집제 종류에 더 큰 영향을 받았다. 응 집제 종류에 따른 하수슬러지 부상농축효율은 $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ < PSO-M < $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ 응집제 순으로 높게 나타났다. 회분식 실험에서 도출된 운전조건을 이용하여 1.6 $m^3$/d 용량의 하수슬러지 부상농축장치를 2시간동안 연속적으로 운전할 수 있었으며, A/S 비가 0.029~0.019 mL/mg에서 슬러지 농축율은 300.0~335.7%로서 매우 효율적이었다.

The performance of EF (electroflotation) on the thickening of activated sludge were investigated using laboratory scale batch flotation reactor. In this paper, the effects of parameters such as electrode material, NaCl dosage, initial sludge concentration and electrode distance were examined. The results showed that the performance for sludge thickening of the five electrodes lay in: Pt/Ti > Ru/Ti > Ir/Ti > Ti mesh > Ti plate. The more NaCl dosage was high, the more sludge was thickened and the shorter thickening time was obtained. However, considering the final thickening time and sludge concentration, optimum NaCl dosage was 0.5 g/L. Thickening time and sludge concentration was not affected by electrode distance. In DAF (dissolved air flotation) system, optimum recycle ratio was 40% and thickening performance was lower than that of the EF.

The retrofitting of a thickening unit process is widely considered in municipal wastewater treatment plants in Korea to enhance the anaerobic digestion efficiency. The authors examined the effect of feed concentration (2-34.1 g VS/L) and feed to microorganism (F/M) ratio (0.50-1.35 g VS/g VS) on anaerobic batch digestion of sewage sludge. Methane yield over 90 mL $CH_4/g$ $VS_{feed}$ was found at a feed concentration in the range of 12-26 g VS/L and a F/M ratio below 0.6 g VS/g VS. A high F/M ratio decreased methane yield and rate with oragnic acid accumulation. As sudden increase of sewage sludge concentration prior to anaerobic digestion would jeopardize the digester performance due to the rasied F/M ratio, gradual increase of the sludge feed concentration or an additional biomass retention in the digester is recommended.

Statistical analysis between sewage plant operating parameters and the effluent quality was performed. We extracted two factors from principal component analysis of operating parameters and effluent quality from each plant. The total variance of 84.7%, 79.2% was explained by the two factors at SB plant and SC plant, respectively. The factors were identified at SB plant in the following order 1) the oxidation of organic material by aeration basin microbe,2) biomass in aeration basin and at SC plant 1) the oxidation of organic material by aeration basin microbe, 2) thickening of acti-vated sludge. These results suggested that the control of microbial composition might be critical on the improvement of the effluent quality and plant operating efficiency because most of the factors were related with microbes.

Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the performance of anaerobic sequencing batch reactor(ASBR) for digestion of a municipal sludge. Each cycle of the ASBR comprised feeding, two-or three-day reaction, one-day thickening, and withdrawal. The reactors were operated at an HRT of 10days and 5days with an equivalent organic loading rate of 0.8-1.54 gVS/l/d, 1.81-3.56 gVS/l/d at 35$\circ$C, respectively. Solids accumulation was remarkable in the ASBR during start-up period, and directly affected by settleable solids in the feed sludge. Floatation thickening occured in the ASBRs, and Solids profiles at the end of thickening step dramatically changed at solid-liquid interface. Slight difference in solids concentrations was observed within thickened sludge bed. Efficiencies through floatation thickening were comparable to that of additional thickening of the completely mixed control reactor. Average solids concentrations in the ASBRs were 2.2-2.6 times higher than that in the control throughout the total operation period. The dehydrogenase activity had a strong correlation with the solids concentration. Organics removals based on clarified effluent of the ASBRs were consistently above 86%. Remarkable increase in equivalent gas production of 27-52% was observed at the ASBRs compared with the control though the control and ASBRs showed similiar effluent quality. Thus, digestion of a municipal sludge was possible using the ASBR in spite of high concentration of solids in the sludge.

본 연구는 음식폐기물과 하수슬러지의 병합처리를 위한 음식폐기물 전처리시설을 평가하고 그 활용방안을 모색하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구에서 이용한 음식폐기물 전처리시설은 저장, 선별분쇄, 농축의 순으로 구성되어 있으며, 하수처리장 방류수를 희석수로 이용하여 선별분쇄시 파쇄를 용이하게 하고 염분농도의 희석효과도 가져올 수 있었다. 파쇄된 음식폐기물의 입자는 대부분 2mm 이하로 하수슬러지와 혼합하여 혐기성소화시 효율이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 기존 하수슬러지 처리시 발생되는 가스발생량은 0.8톤/일(메탄 0.5톤/일)로 매우 낮았으나 음식폐기물과의 병합처리후에는 3.5톤/일(메탄 2.3톤/일)의 소화가스가 발생하는 것으로 조사되었다. 탈수슬러지의 발생량 또한 기존 11.2톤/일에 비해 21.2톤/일로 증가하지만 하수슬러지에 비해 유기물 함량이 높으므로 재활용 가치가 높을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 음식폐기물 전처리시설의 적절한 활용을 통해 기존 하수처리시설과의 연계 처리가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) on total sewage sludge treatment system from thickening to incineration and melting was performed for estimating global environmental impact as $CO_2$. In general, the life cycles of actual treatment facilities consist of construction, operation and dismantlement. In this study, the amount of $CO_2$ produced from both whole and each life cycle step of currently used unit sludge treatment processes were calculated by inventory analysis. In addition, in the all processes investigated in this study, individual $CO_2$ production unit (CPU), i.e. total produced $CO_2$ by treating a unit weight of sludge was also calculated. By using the CPU matrix of the unit processes, it was possible to simulate the $CO_2$ production for any type of complex-system as well as to trace a dominant cause of $CO_2$ production in each process. Four selected alternatives examined here, each involve the same disposal way but differ substantially in the $CO_2$ exhaust.

Anaerobic Digestion of thickened septage was investigated in this study. Thickening could reduce the volume of septage to be treated to about 40% with 12hr HRT. The VS and BOD removal efficiencies were respectively 28 to 45%, and 75% when digested the thickened septage with 30 day HRT Or $1.4kgVS/m^3/d$. The BOD removal efficiency could be increased to about 90% with subsequent settling tank with about 6 hours HRT. The gas production rate was 0.22 to $0.35m^3gas/kgVSadd$($0.75m^3gas/kgVSrm$), or $1.32m^3gas/kgBOD_{rm}$. In addition, the supernatant of thickener could be returned to the aeration tank treating domestic sewage. In this case, a BOD loading rate of 0.5 to $0.7kgBOD/m^3/d$ or 0.5kgBOD/kgMLVSS/d was proposed for 80% BOD reduction.
