In this study, some of bacterial growth kinetic parameters were delineated and evaluated for the biological nutrient removal processes such as the $A^2/O$, 4stage-BNR, Intermittent Cycle Extended Aeration System(ICEAS) and Intermittently Aerated Cylindrical Oxidation Ditch(IACOD) processes. $Y_H$ values for the ICEAS process ranged from 0.71 to 0.74, and were higher than those for the other processes. It seems to indicated that organic carbons uptaked by microorganism were more used up for cell synthesis rather than for energy components in the ICEAS process. $b_H$ for the ICEAS and IACOD processes were lower than those for $A^2/O$ and 4stage-BNR processes. The $\mu_{max{\cdot}A}$ for the ICEAS was higher than those for the other processes, which indicated that desirable operating conditions for nitrifying bacteria's growth were established.

Heterotrophic biomass yield coefficients, $Y_H$, for aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic reactors were successfully estimated for the two wastewater treatment plants, where one plant was operating in the $A^2/O$ process and the other was operating in the 4-stage BNR process. The estimation of $Y_H$ was undertaken by plotting the biomass COD concentrations versus the soluble COD concentrations in order to calculate the ${\Delta}biomass$ COD/ ${\Delta}soluble$ COD in each batch reactor. The batch reactors employed in this study were fed by filtered influent and mixed liquors in the ratio of 10:1, and operated in the aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic conditions, which represented the actual operating conditions for the $A^2/O$ and 4-stage BNR process. The average $Y_H$ values of the aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic reactor for the $A^2/O$ process were 0.52, 0.41 and 0.18 mg COD/mg COD, respectively, and those for the 4-stage BNR process were 0.58, 0.40 and 0.20 mg COD/mg COD, respectively. The average ratio of the $Y_H$ for aerobic reactors to those for the anoxic reactors were about 1:0.79 for the $A^2/O$ process, and about 1:0.69 for the 4-stage BNR process. The experimental method for anoxic and anaerobic $Y_H$ estimation shown in this study has turned out to be simple and efficient in its practical application.

본 연구는 여재가 모래와 무연탄인 복층 중력식 급속여과법으로 BNR(biological nutrient removal) 공정 유출수를 처리할 때 여과율의 변화에 따른 오염물질 제거효율 및 여층 깊이별 처리수질을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. Pilot scale의 4-stage BNR 공정 유출수를 200, 300 및 400 m/day의 여과율로 급속여과시킨 결과, 처리수는 2.6 NTU 이하의 탁도를 나타내어 우리나라의 중수도 제한수질인 5.0 NTU를 만족하였다. 여과율이 200, 300 및 400 m/day로 증가함에 따라 SS 제거효율은 각각 80.6, 75.4 및 68.9%로 감소하는 경향을 보였지만, 여과수는 모든 여과율에서 유입수의 수질변화에 큰 영향을 받지 않고 평균 1.3 mg/L의 SS 농도를 보였다. 생물학적 작용에 의하여 영양염류도 제거되었는데, 200, 300 및 400 m/day의 여과율에서 질산화효율이 각각 17.4, 18.8 및 14.3%, 그리고 탈질효율이 각각 32.3, 27.7 및 21.4%로, 질산화와 탈질이 동시에 일어났다. 여과주기의 후반기에는 여층 내의 DO가 결핍됨에 따라 인의 재용출이 일어남으로써 유출수의 T-P 농도가 유입수에 비하여 6.1~21.4% 증가하였다.

하수처리 공정모델링 소프트웨어인 EQPS(Effluent Quality Prediction System, Dynamita, France)를 적용하여 A하수처리시설 생물반응조 설계의 적합성을 분석하였다. A하수처리장은 친수용수 수준의 목표수질을 준수하기 위하여 이차침전지 유출수 설계농도를 총질소와 총인, 각 10 mg/L, 1.8 mg/L로 설정하여 설계하였다. 4-Stage BNR 공정인 반응조의 체류시간은 총 9.6시간으로 전무산소조 0.5, 혐기조 1.0, 무산소조 2.9, 호기조 5.2시간이었다. 동절기 공정모델링 결과 친수용수 수준의 목표수질을 만족하기 위하여 혐기조의 체류시간을 0.2시간 늘렸고 당초 설계조건이던 외부탄소원 비상시 주입을 상시적으로 주입해야 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 모델링 결과의 왜곡을 배제하기 위하여 소프트웨어 제조사가 제시한 one step nitrification denitrification 모델의 Default 계수를 사용하였다. 공정모델링은 대체적으로 최적의 상태를 제시하기 때문에 생물반응조 여유율을 고려하면 4-Stage BNR의 체류시간은 9.8시간보다 증가시켜야 한다. 하수처리장 설계단계에서 공정 모델링의 정확한 사용은 하수처리장 건설 후 처리성능과 효율의 안정성을 담보할 수 있는 방법이므로 설계단계에서 철저한 평가가 필요하다.

The 5-stage biological nutrient removal (BNR) process with step feed system showed a very stable organic carbon and nutrient removal efficiency ($87\%\;COD\,;79\%\;nitrogen,\;and\;87\%$ phosphorus) for an operation period of 2 years. In each stage at the pilot plant, microbial communities, which are important in removing nitrogen and phosphorus, were investigated using fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) and 165 rDNA characterization. All tanks of 5-stage sludge had a similar composition of bacterial communities. The totat cell numbers of each reactor were found to be around $2.36-2.83{\times}10^9$ cells/ml. About $56.5-62.0\%$ of total 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindol (DAPI) cells were hybridized to the bacterial-specific probe EUB388. Members of ${\beta}$-proteobacteria were the most abundant proteobacterial group, accounting for up to $20.6-26.7\%$. The high G+C Gram-positive bacterial group and Cytophaga-Flexibacter cluster counts were also found to be relatively high. The beta subclass proteobacteria did not accumulate a large amount of polyphosphate. The proportion of phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs) in the total population of the sludge was almost $50\%$ in anoxic-1 tank. The high G+C Gram-positive bacteria and Cytophaga-Flexibacter cluster indicate a key role of denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating organisms (dPAOs). Both groups might be correlated with some other subclass of proteobacteria for enhancing nitrogen and phosphorus removal in this process.
