Abstract

In the advanced treatment of sewage using the submerged membrane-coupled sequencing batch reactor (SMSBR) with media, the effect of media on the filtration performance and removal efficiency were investigated. Dosages of the media in the SMSBR were 10% based on working volume of reactor. As a control system, SMSBR without media and PAC, SMSBR with PAC (10 g/L) only, and SMSBR with media and PAC were also operated. The experimental results showed that there was no big difference observed in the removal efficiencies of COD, T-N, and T-P irrespective of the dosages of the media and PAC. But transmembrane pressure (TMP) of SMSBR with media increased slowly during the operation time, while that of SMSBR without media increased rapidly. Using SMSBR with media, it was possible to operate without the membrane cleaning during the 91 days. Using SMSBR with media only, after 80 days the average removal efficiencies of COD, T-N, and T-P were 95.0, 69.3%, and 51.4%, respectively.

담체가 투여된 침지형 막결합 연속회분식 반응기(SMSBR)를 사용한 하수의 고도처리에서 담체가 여과성능과 제거효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 담체는 반응기 부피 기준으로 10% 투여하였고, 담체와 분말활성탄을 첨가하지 않은 반응기, 분말활성탄(10 g/L)만을 첨가한 반응기 및 담체와 분말활성탄을 모두 첨가한 반응기를 대조군으로 하였다. COD, T-N 및 T-P에 대한 제거효율은 담체 및 분말활성탄 첨가 유무에 따라 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 담체를 첨가하지 않은 경우 막간차압(TMP)은 급격히 증가하였으나, 담체를 첨가한 경우에 막간차압은 매우 서서히 증가하였다. 담체를 투여한 SMSBR를 사용하여 하수를 고도처리 할 때, 91일 이상의 운전기간 동안 막 세정 없이 운전이 가능하였다. 담체만을 투여한 경우, 운전 80일 경과 이후의 COD, T-N 및 T-P 평균 제거율은 각각 95.0, 69.3% 및 51.4%이었다.
