Abstract

A submerged biofilm sequencing batch reactor (SBSBR) process, which liquor was internally circulated through sandfilter, was designed, and performances in swine wastewater treatment was evaluated under a condition of no external carbon source addition. Denitrification of NOx-N with loading rate in vertical and slope type of sandfilter was 19% and 3.8%, respectively, showing approximately 5 times difference, and so vertical type sandfilter was chosen for the combination with SBSBR. When the process was operated under 15 days HRT, 105L/hr.m3 of internal circulation rate and 54g/m3.d of NH4-N loading rate, treatment efficiencies of STOC, NH4-N and TN (as NH4-N plus NOx-N) was 75%, 97% and 85%, respectively. By conducting internal circulation through sandfilter, removal performances of TN were enhanced by 14%, and the elevation of nitrogen removal was mainly attributed to occurrence of denitrification in sandfilter. Also, approximately 57% of phosphorus was removed with the conduction of internal circulation through sandfilter, meanwhile phosphorus concentration in final effluent rather increased when the internal circulation was not performed. Therefore, It was quite sure that the continuous internal circulation of liquor through sandfilter could contribute to enhancement of biological nutrient removal. Under 60g/m3.d of NH4-N loading rate, the NH4-N level in final effluent was relatively low and constant(below 20mg/L) and over 80% of nitrogen removal was maintained in spite of loading rate increase up to 100g/m3.d. However, the treatment efficiency of nitrogen was deteriorated with further increase of loading rate. Based on this result, an optimum loading rate of nitrogen for the process would be 100g/m3.d.

반응물을 연속적으로 내부 순환시키는 생물막 연속회분식모래여과 공정을 고안하고 외부 탄소원이 전혀 사용되지 않는 조건하에서의 돈사폐수 처리특성을 평가하였다. 수직형과 경사형 모래여과조에서의 NOx-N 부하량에 따른 탈질율은 각각 19%와 3.8%로 수직형에서 5배 정도 높은 효율을 보임에 따라 수직형태의 모래여과조를 생물막 연속회분식 공정과 연계하여 운전하였다. 처리공정을 HRT 15일, 내부순환율 105L/hr.m3, 평균 암모니아성 질소 부하량 54g/m3.d 조건에서 운전하였을 때 STOC, NH4- N, TN의 처리효율은 각각 75%, 97%, 85%이었다. 생물막 연속회분식 반응조와 모래여과조간의 내부순환으로 TN의 제거효율이 약 14%증진되는 것으로 나타났으며 얻어진 질소제거효율 증진은 주로 모래여과조에서의 탈질에 의한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 용해성 인의 경우 내부순환이 수행되지 않았을 시에는 유출수내 농도가 오히려 증가하였으나 내부순환시에는 약 57% 정도가 제거되는 것으로 나타남에 따라 반응물의 내부순환이 용해성 인의 제거효율 증진에도 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 시스템에서의 질소제거 양상을 분석해본 결과 최종 유출수내의 NH4-N은 부하량 60g/m3.d 수준에서 약 20mg/L 이하로 비교적 일정하였고 부하량이 100g/m3.d. 이상의 수준으로 상승함에도 80% 이상의 질소 제거효율을 보였다. 그러나 부하량 100g/m3.d 수준 이상에서부터 처리효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타나 외부탄소원이 전혀 사용되지 않는 운전조건에서의 질소의 적정 부하량은 약 100g/m3.d 정도인 것으로 판단되었다.
