Abstract

The efficiency of sewage treatment was analyzed by statistical method based on the water quality and operation data of the sewage treatment plant applying the oxidation method. The obtained water quality data were pH, temperature, BOD, SS, T-N, ${NH_4}^+-N$, and T-P of influent and discharge water. Data analysis was performed by correlation analysis, ANOVA analysis, and cluster analysis. As a result of the statistical analysis, the influent flow rate in the sewage treatment plant was the highest in summer. The average inflow flow rate was $3.000m^3/s$. According to Box plot results, COD, and T-P concentrations of effluents were not significantly different from season to season. The Pearson correlation analysis showed strong positive correlation between BOD, COD, T-N, and T-P in influent flow. Seasonal BOD and T-N concentrations were highest in winter and COD and T-P in seasonal influences. BOD showed a strong negative correlation with the water temperature, but showed a positive correlation with other operating factors such as HRT, SRT and C/N. The higher the influent temperature, the lower the BOD concentration. Therefore, retention time was shortened and BOD treatment efficiency was lowered. It was found that T-N had a higher retention time and a higher concentration than DO concentration. On the other hand, T-P did not show a significant correlation with operating factors.

본 연구에서는 산화구 방법으로 하수처리를 하는 공공 하수처리장을 선정하여 통계적인 방법으로 처리장의 수질 및 운영의 효율을 분석하였다. 얻어진 수질 데이터는 유입수 및 배출수의 pH, 온도, BOD, SS, T-N, ${NH_4}^+-N$ 및 T-P였다. 데이터 분석은 군집분석, 상관분석, ANOVA 분석, 클러스터 분석으로 수행되었다. 통계분석 결과, 하수 처리장의 유입 유량은 여름에 가장 높았으며 평균 유속은 $3.000m^3/s$이었다. Box plot 결과에 따르면, 하수의 COD, 총인 농도는 계절에 변화에 따라 크게 차이가 없었다. Pearson 상관관계 분석결과는 유입수에서 BOD, COD, T-N 및 T-P 간에 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 계절변화에 따른 BOD와 T-N 농도는 겨울철에 가장 높았고, 계절에 따른 온도의 영향은 COD와 T-P가 가장 높았다. BOD는 수온과 음의 상관관계를 보였으나 HRT, SRT, C/N과 같은 공정인자는 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 유입수 온도가 높을수록 BOD 농도가 낮아지는 현상을 보였으며, 체류 시간이 단축될수록 BOD의 처리 효율이 저하되었다. T-N은 효율적인 처리를 위해 긴 체류 시간이 필요했으나 T-P는 공정인자의 변화에 따른 상관관계도에서 다소 적게 나타났다.
