Using rotating biological contactor(RBC) with artificial endogenous stage and aerobic fixed biofilm reactor(AFBR), organic material removal and biological nitrification of piggery wastewater has been studied at a pilot plant. RBC was operated in the endogenous phase at a interval of every 25 days. The concentration of COD, BOD and TKN in influent wastewater were from 2,940 to 3,800 mg/L, from 1,190 to 1,850 mg/L and from 486 to 754 mg/L respectively. The maximum active biomass content represented as VSS per unit aera was $2.0mg/cm$^{2}$ and biofilm dry density of $17mg/cm^{3}$ was observed at biofilm thickness of $900{\;}{\mu}m$. It was observed that the pilot scale RBC/AFBR process exhibited 72 percentage to 93 percentage of BOD removal, In order to obtain more than 90 percentage of BOD removal, the organic loading rate to the RBC/AFBR process should be maintained less than $0.09{\;}m^{3}/m^{2}{\cdot}day(125.9g{;\}BOD/m^{3}{\cdot}d$. The TKN removal efficiencies was from 45.5 to 90.9 percentage according to vary influent loading rate, It was estimated that the RBC/AFBR process consumed approximately 6.2 mg/L(as $CaCO_{3}$) of alkalinity per 1 mg/L of $NH_{3}$-N oxidized as the nitrification took piace.

하수처리 혐기성 유동상 생물반응기(Anaerobic Fluidized Bed Bioreactor : AFBR)는 높은 표면적을 갖는 입상활성탄을 유동 메디아로 적용함으로써 생물막 형성 및 유지에 유리하며 이로 인해 우수한 유기물 제거 효율을 나타내나 처리된 유출수 내의 질소와 같은 영양염류의 잔존이 여전히 문제로 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 AFBR에 의해 처리된 유출수 내의 질소 배제를 위하여 정삼투막(FO membrane)을 유도용액의 종류와 농도에 따라 적용하였다. 실험결과 유출수의 총질소 배제 효율은 FO막에 적용하는 유도용액(draw solution : DS)의 종류 및 농도에 크게 의존하였다. 유도용액 농도가 증가함에 따라 FO막의 수투과량이 증가하였으며, 1 M의 NaCl을 유도용액으로 사용한 경우 총질소 배제 효율은 55%이었으나 1 M의 glucose를 유도용액을 사용한 경우 거의 완벽한 총질소 배제 효율을 나타내었다. AFBR 유출수를 FO막으로 24시간 동안 여과를 진행하였으나 파울링에 의한 수투과량의 감소는 관찰되지 않았다.

본 연구는 도시하수를 처리하는 혐기성 유동상 반응조(AFBR)의 유출수 내에 존재하는 황화물, 인을 제거하기 위한 후속 공정으로서 화학응집의 가능성을 평가하였다. pH 범위 5.9에서 7.2까지는 화학응집을 통한 황화물, 인 및 COD의 제거율에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 알칼리도의 요구량은 $Fe(OH)_3$를 형성 및 황화물과 인을 제거하기 위한 $Fe^{3+}$의 양을 통해 추정한다. 응집보조제 농도 2 mg/L에서 음이온성 폴리머는 플록의 크기와 침전성 면에서 가장 좋은 결과를 보였다. AFBR 유출수의 황화물을 제거하기 위해 투입한 응집제 주입비($Fe^{3+}/S^{2-}$)는 0.64로 인공폐수 실험을 통해 확인한 이론적인 응집제 주입비 0.67에 가까우나 황화물 제거율은 75.2%에 그쳤다. 이렇게 높은 응집제 주입비를 요구하는 이유는 인공폐수와는 다르게 AFBR 유출수에는 황화물, 인, 수산화이온, 중탄산염이 존재하고 $Fe^{3+}$와 경쟁적으로 반응하기 때문이다. 응집제 주입비 2.0에서 황화물과 인의 농도는 각각 0.1, 0.5 mg/L 이하로 감소했다. 응집제 주입량 50 mg $Fe^{3+}/L$에서 평균적인 유출수의 COD 농도는 80 mg/L로 대부분 용존성 COD로 구성되어 있고 제거율은 55%이다. 더 높은 COD 제거율을 얻기 위해서는 AFBR에서의 용존성 COD 제거율을 강화해야 한다. $Fe^{3+}$를 이용한 화학응집은 AFBR 유출수 내의 황화물, 인 및 COD를 동시에 제거할 수 있고, 이는 상대적으로 높은 처리수 수질을 요구하지 않는 나라의 기존 하수처리 공정을 대체할 수 있을 것이다.

This study was carried to investigate the treatment characteristics of the phenol and catechol with an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor(AFBR) having a dimension of 9 cm i.d. and 1.25 m height. The reactor was operated at $35\pm 1\circ$C. The COD concentration of the effluent, the gas production rate and the composition of gas were measured to determine the performance of the AFBR as the hydraulic retention time(HRT) was decreased from 2 days to i day at 600 mg/l of the phenol and catechol concentration. Stable treatment of the phenol wastewater could be achieved with the AFBR at 18 days but the catechol wastewater couldn't be. At HRT 2 days, the phenol wastewater showed the COD reduction efficiency of 93% and the gas production of 2.7 l/day and the catechol wastewater was obtained the COD reduction efficiency of 82% and the gas production of 0.72 l/day. Also at HRT 1 day the phenol and catechol wastewater showed the COD reduction efficiency of 95% and 73% and the gas production of 4.0 l/day and 1.25 l/day, respectively.

The objective of this study is to estimate the effect of the bed expansion and the characteristics of attached biomass in the start-up in the anaerobic fluidized bed reactor(AFBR). The fluidized bed reactor was operated with bacteria supported on the bed of granular activated carbon(GAC). The reactor was operated at 35$\circ$C, 5 kg $COD/m^3\cdot day$ at bed expansion varying from 0 to 100% with soluble glucose wastewater(5,000 mg/l). When the effluent reached a steady state at 100% of bed expansion, maximum COD removal efficiency of 87.3% and 0.031 $m^3CH_4/kg COD_{removed}$ were obtained. At higher bed expansion, COD removal efficiency, methane production rate and biogas production rate increased. Especially, at 50% of bed expansion, the efficiency of the treatment increasedg rapidly in the AFBR. The biomass colonized in the pits and crevices of the GAC particle and no complete biofilm was established in the bioreactor during the experiment.

The objectives of this study were to examine the start-up method and characteristics of biomass attachment on the media in an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor(AFBR). The media adopted was the granular activated carbon which was successfully capable of adsorbing organics and biomass. The reactor was operated at 5 kg $COD/m^3\cdot day$ and 24hr of HRT. There were important problems in the AFBR's start-up, which has been reported very long and unstable. Therefore, this research was to solve the problem of the start-up and it was performed, comparing two start-up ways that were initial fluidized system and initial static-fluidized system. The results were summarized as follows: (1) On the whole initial static-fluidized system was superior to initial fluidized system in the aspects of biogas production rate, methane content and COD removal efficiency etc. (2) At the steady state methane production rate and recoverable bioenergy of initial static-fluidized system were $2.074 m^3CH_4/m^3\cdot day$, $0.488 m^3CH_4/kgCOD_{removed}\cdot day$, and 81.3kcal/day, respectively. (3) Thickness of biofilm was about $5.11 \mu m$, $\rho_{bw}$ and $\rho_{bd}$ were $1.022 g/cm^3, 0.0953g/cm^3$ respectively. (4) Biomass concentration of fluidized state was about 35 mg/g GAC. In conclusion the efficient method on the start-up of the AFBR using GAC as media was initial static-fluidized system and the period of static state needed to reach steady state was considered about twenty days.

This study was performed for minimization of excessive biofilm effects at the high strength organic wastewater treatment. As a results of biofilm attachment experiment using piggery wastewater, aggravation of water quality due to excessive biofilm showed after 15 days of operating times.4 excessive biofilm phase, the equivalent biofilm thickness and VSS contents per unit aura were observed in the range of 1,100 to $1,200{\mu}m$ and 2.5 to 3.0mg $VSS/cm^{2}$, respectively. In the aerobic fixed biofilm reactor/anoxic fixed biofilm reactor(AFBR/ANFBR) process with endogenous respiration phase, the BOD removal efficiency was obtained more than 90 percentage at the surface loading rate and volumetric loading rate of the AFBR maintained less than 17 g $BOD/m^{2}{\cdot}$day and 1.7kg $BOD/m^{3}{\cdot}$day, respectively. The removal efficiency of TKN and $NH_{3}$-N at the loading rates below 5.60g $NH_{3}-N/m^{2}{\cdot}day$ and 0.56kg $NH_{3}-N/m^{3}{\cdot}$day were above 76 percentage and 82 percentage, respectively. In order to reduced sludge production rate and aggravation of water quality, endogenous respiration phase was accepted at first AFBR reactor. As a results of this operating condition, sludge production was minimized and removal efficiency was maintained stability.

The objectives of this study were to examine the biodegradation of phenol using the anaerobic fluidized bed reactor(AFBR). Mixed microorganisms were selected from the anaerobic digestion tank, and could be adapted to high concentration of phenol by increasing the phenol concentration 600-3600 mg/l step by step. The results were summarized as follows: 1. The average removal efficiency of phenol was 90%, decreased by increasing concentration of phenol, and then a shock range was 1200~2400 ppm. 2. The production rate of biogas in overall limits was proportional to the concentration of influent phenol. 3. At steady state, compositions of gases were $CH_4$ 55~60%, $C0_2$ 34~43%, respectively. These were similar to that of the theoretical estimates. 4. The production rates of biogas and methane per the molarity of phenol removed were linearly increased, 56.45 l gas/mol-phenol and 29.20 l $CH_4/mol$-phenol. Using this biogas, the recoverable energy was 269.1 kcal/mol phenol. It was 120.2 kcal/g-COD, transforming into the chemical oxygen demand. 5. The bulk of microorganisms existed in suspended section of fluidized bed with type of biofilm and its concentration was 340 mg/g-media. In conclusion, the anaerobic treatment of pure phenol was possible and its removal efficiency, introducing the AFBR, was successful. Also toxic organic compound such as phenol was biodegradable and was recoverable as resource of energy.

기성 유동상 반응기(AFBR)의 수리학적 특성을 고찰하기 위해 "무담체 모드"와 "담체 충진 모드"의 두 가지 모드에서 추적자 실험을 수행하였다. 각 모드에서 동일한 실험조건으로 실험을 수행하여 수리학적 수치들이 유도되었고 실제 반응기의 수리학적 특성파악에 필요한 데이터를 얻어 해석하였다. 두 가지모드에서의 수리학적 해석을 위해 담체는 비 반응성이고 분산계수가 상수라는 가정으로 비 반응성 추적자의 일차원-비 정상상태 농도분포의 분산모델을 사용하였다. 실험결과 담체는 반응기 내부에서의 혼합효과를 크게 증가시켰다. 담체를 충진하지 않은 경우 충진한 경우에 비해 분산계수는 최소 1자리 수 이상 작게 나타났다. 담체가 없는 경우 실험영역(Pe⦤0.83cm/s)에서 이류흐름이 지배적 흐름이었고 반응기의 흐름형태는 마개흐름형 반응기(PFR)에 근접하였다. 이 때 분산계수는 0.83cm/s까지 겉보기유속에 비례적으로 증가하였다. 그러나 담체가 충진된 경우, 흐름형태는 마개흐름형 반응기 (PFR)과 완전혼합형 반응기(CMFR)사이에 있음을 나타내었으며 분산계수는 겉보기유속이 0.41cm/s에서 거의 최대치에 도달한 후 0.82cm/s까지 유사한 수치를 나타내었다. 본 실험조건에서 분산계수는 액체 레이놀즈수(Re) 또는 입자 레이놀즈수(Rep)에 비례하였다.
