Abstract

A 2㎥/d combined wastewater treatment pilot plant containing the multi-stage vertical stacking type nitrification reactor was installed and operated for more than 1 year under the operating conditions of the short-circuit nitrogen process (pH 8, DO 1mg/L and Internal return rate 4Q from nitrification to denitrification reactor). For economically the combination treatment of food wastewater and the leachate from a landfill, the optimal combination ratio was operated by adjusting the food wastewater with the minimum oil content to 5-25% of the total throughput. The main treatment efficiency of the three-phase centrifugal separator which was introduced to effectively separate solids and oil from the food wastewater was about 52% of SS from 116,000mg/L to 55,700mg/L, and about 48% of normal hexane (NH) from 53,200mg to 27,800 mg/L. During the operational period, the average removal efficiency in the combined wastewater treatment process of BOD was 99.3%, CODcr 94.2%, CODmn 90%, SS 70.1%, T-N 85.8%, and T-P 99.2%. The average concentrations of BOD, CODcr, T-N, and T-P of the treated water were all satisfied with the discharge quality standard for landfill leachate ("Na" region), and SS was satisfied after applying the membrane process. On-site leachate had a relatively high nitrite nitrogen content in the combined wastewater due to intermittent aeration of the equalization tanks and different monthly discharges. Nevertheless nitrite nitrogen was accumulated, denitrification from nitrite nitrogen was observed rather than denitrification after complete nitrification. The average input of anti-forming chemical during the operation period is about 2L/d, which seems to be economical compared to the input of methanol required to treat the same wastewater.

다단수직형 적층 방식의 질산화조가 포함된 2㎥/d 병합폐수처리 파일럿플랜트를 설치하여, pH8 이상, DO 1mg/L, 내부반송율 4Q이상의 단축질소제거공정의 질산화조 운전 조건으로 약 1년 이상 운영하였다. 음폐수와 침출수의 경제적인 병합 처리를 위하여, 유분이 최소화된 음폐수를 전체 처리량의 5~25%로 조절하여 최적의 병합 비율을 검토하였다. 음폐수의 고형물과 유분을 효과적으로 분리하기 위하여 도입된 3상원심분리기의 주요 처리 효율은 SS는 116,000mg/L에서 55,700mg/L로 약 52% 제거 되었으며, 노르말헥산(N-H)의 농도는 53,200mg/L에서 27,800mg/L로 약 48%로 제거되었다. 운전 기간 중 병합 폐수처리 공정의 BOD 평균 제거 효율은 99.3%, CODcr 94.2%, CODmn 90%, SS 70.1%, T-N 85.8%, T-P 99.2%로 분석되었다. 처리수의 BOD, CODcr, T-N, T-P 평균 농도는 침출수 배출허용 기준("나"지역)을 만족하였으며, SS는 멤브레인조를 적용한 후 만족하였다. 현장의 침출수는 유량조정조의 간헐적 폭기 및 월별 상이한 방출량의 영향으로 병합폐수 중 아질산성 질소의 성분이 비교적 높았다. 아질산성질소가 축적된 상태에서도 완전질산화 후 탈질보다는, 아질산성 질소에서 탈질되는 결과가 나타났다. 또한 운전기간 중 평균 소포제 투입량은 약 2L/d으로 같은 폐수를 처리할 시 필요한 메탄올 투입량 약 2.8L/d 대비하여 경제적인 것으로 보인다.
