Abstract

In this investigation, off-gas generated from the activated sludge in wastewater treatment plant was monitored. Through monitoring, the oxygen transfer efficiency in the aeration system and the reliability was evaluated by comparing to clean water. First, the dissolved oxygen, oxygen transfer coefficient, and standard oxygen transfer efficiency were measured based on clean water, and the values were 8.60 mg/L, 9.490/hr and 23.96%, respectively. The off-gas monitoring at the wastewater treatment plant indicated that the standard oxygen transfer efficiency was 22.81%. Little difference in oxygen transfer efficiency this data inferred that the performance was improved through diffuser installation in the field monitoring system.

본 연구에서는 활성 슬러지 하수처리장에서 배출되는 off-gas에 대한 포집 및 측정 모니터링을 통해 폭기조의 산소전달효율을 측정하고 청수와 비교하여 시스템의 신뢰성을 검증하는 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, 청수를 기반으로 용존산소, 산소전달계수 및 표준산소전달효율을 측정하였으며 각각 8.60 mg/L, 9.49/hr, 23.96%의 값이 얻어졌다. 한편, 하수처리장 현장에서 진행한 off-gas 시험 결과 표준산소전달효율이 22.81%로 계산되어 청수와의 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 현장에 설치된 산기관의 성능 및 폭기조의 상황을 모니터링 시스템을 이용해 실시간으로 확인함으로써 신뢰성있는 데이터를 확보할 수 있음을 의미한다.
