Treatability Evaluation of $A_{2}O$ System by Principal Component Analysis

주성분분석에 의한 $A_{2}O$공법의 처리성 평가

The lab-scale biological A$_{2}$O system was applied from treating piggery wastewater highly polluted organic material which nitrogen and phosphorous are much contained relatively in conversion with other wastewater. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of variance parameters on the treatability of this system according to operation conditions. An obtained experimental data were analysed by using principal component analysis (PCA) method. The results are summarized as follows: 1. From Varimax rotated factor loading in raw wastewater, variance of factor 1 was 36.8% and cumulative percentage of variance from factor 1 to factor 4 was 81.5% and of these was related to BOD, TKN and BOD loading. 2. In anaerobic process, variance of factor 1 was 33.5% and cumulative percentage of variance from factor I to factor 4 was 81.8% and of these was related to PO$_{4}$-P, BOD, DO and Temperature. 3. In anoxic process, variance of factor 1 was 30.1% and cumulative percentage of variance from factor i to factor 4 was 84.3% and of these was related to pH, DO, TKN and temperature. 4. In aerobic process, variance of factor 1 was 43.8% and cumulative percentage of variance from factor 1 to factor 4 was 81.5% and of these was highly related to DO, PO$_{4}$-P and BOD. 5. It was better to be operated below 0.30 kg/kg$\cdot$day F/M ratio to keep over 90% of BOD and SS, 80% of TKN, and 60% of PO$_{4}$-P in treatment efficiencies. 6. Treatment efficiencies was over 93% of BOD and SS, 81% of TKN and 60% of PO$_{4}$-P at over 20$^{\circ}$C, respectively.
