Abstract

On account of exchanging main process from chemical precipitation for MLE(Modified Ludzark-Ettinger), an external carbon source was required for supplementation of carbon source shortage that was needed biological denitrification in the S sewage treatment plant(S-STP). In this study, NUR(nitrate uptake rate), OUR(oxygen uptake rate) test and a field application test was conducted for the applicability assessment of Terephtalic acid(TPA) by-product contained about 4.7% acetate as alternative external carbon source. As the results, TPA by-product shows more rapid acclimation than methanol, 8.24 mg ${NO_3}^--N/g$ VSS/hr specific denitrification rate, 3.70 g $COD_{Cr}/g\;NO_3$ C/N ratio and 99.4% readily biodegradable COD contents. In the results of field application, the nutrient removal efficiency was high and effluent T-N concentration is 8.2 mg/L. It is concluded that TPA by-product is the proper alternative external carbon source.

B시 S하수처리장에서 화학침전 공정에서 MLE 공정으로 공법을 변경하였으며, 생물학적으로 탈질시 부족한 탄소원을 보충하기 위해 외부탄소원이 요구되었다. 본 연구에서는 약 4.7%의 아세트산을 포함하는 TPA(Terephthalic Acid) 생산부산물의 대체탄소원으로 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 NUR(Nitrate Uptake Rate) 및 OUR(Oxygen Uptake Rate) 실험과 현장 적용실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 TPA 생산 부산물은 일반 상용 외부탄소원으로 널리 쓰이는 메탄올보다 빠른 순응특성을 나타내었고 비탈질율이 $8.24mg{NO_3}^--N/gVSS/hr$, 단위 질산성 질소 제거당 COD 소모비는 $3.70COD_{Cr}/g\;NO_3$, RBDCOD 함량 99.4%로 나타났다. S하수처리장에 대한 TPA 생산부산물 현장 적용 실험을 통해 안정적인 영양염류 제거효율을 나타내었으며 방류수 T-N 농도가 8.2 mg/L로 생물학적 탈질에 요구되는 탄소원을 보충할 수 있는 대체탄소원으로 적합하다고 판단되었다.
