The aim of this study was to assess the effect of pre-aeration on sludge solubilization and the behaviors of nitrogen, dissolved sulfide, sulfate, and siloxane. The results of this study showed that soluble chemical oxygen demand in sewage sludge could be increased through pre-aeration. The pre-aeration process resulted in a higher methane yield compared to the anaerobic condition (blank). The pre-aeration of sewage sludge, therefore, was shown to be an effective method for enhancing the digestibility of the sewage sludge. In addition, this result confirms that the pre-aeration of sewage sludge prior to its anaerobic digestion accelerates the growth of methanogenic bacteria. Removal rates for $NH_3$-N and T-N increased simultaneously during pre-aeration, indicating simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. The siloxane concentration in sewage sludge decreased by 40% after 96 hr of pre-aeration; in contrast, the sulfide concentration in sewage sludge did not change. Therefore, pre-aeration can be employed as an efficient treatment option to achieve higher methane yield and lower siloxane concentration in sewage sludge. In addition, reduction of nitrogen loading by pre-aeration can reduce operating costs to achieve better effluent water quality in wastewater treatment plant and benefit the anaerobic process by minimizing the toxic effect of ammonia.

Anaerobic Digestion Process is evaluated as efficient wastewater treatment process with the removal of high concentrations of organic waste and production of biogas. This study was performed using hybrid anaerobic hybrid reactor (AHR) which consists of anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and biofilm-coated filter media was applied for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) for 80 days to know optimum removal efficiency and production of biogas by comparing each part which divided changing Organic Loading Rate (OLR). As a result of this study, the removal efficiency was 90.4 % when the organic loading rate of influent was 15 kg COD/$m^3$/day. Since organic loading rate was up to 20 kg COD/$m^3$/day, the removal rate declined 80.7%. Over loading of influent caused sludge expansion and overproduction of microorganism. Amount of biogas was collected 82.3 L/day and pH was remained 6.9 constantly with balance of alkalinity.

The Oxic-Settling-Anaerobic (OSA) treatment process, a modified Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) process, was developed for the purpose of sludge reduction. The insertion of a sludge holding tank into a sludge return line, an anaerobic reactor, forming an OSA process, may provide a cost-effective way of reducing excess sludge production during a process. The OSA process was evaluated for its sludge reduction ability by kinetic parameter and mass balance, with an observed excess sludge reduction of 63.5%, as $P_{X.VSS}$, compared with the conventional activated sludge process.

본 연구에서는 유기성 폐기물의 분해시 발생되는 열을 재활용하고, 혐기성 소화액의 퇴비화를 위한 혐기성 소화 - 고온 호기법(Anaerobic Digestion-Thermophilic oxic process, ADTOP)을 고안하고, 유기물 분해와 수분의 증발 그리고 생성열의 적용성을 검토하였다. 유기성 폐기물인 중화요리 잔반은 TOP에 의해 완전처리가 가능하며, 최대 용적부하는 $55kg/m^3{\cdot}d$, 투입된 수분은 거의 완전히 증발되었으며 탄소수지에 의한 탄소성 유기물의 이산화탄소 전환율은 90.5%이었다. 고온 혐기성 소화를 위한 적정온도(약$55^{\circ}C$)를 유지하기 위한 최소용적부하는 $45.0kg/m^3{\cdot}d$이었다. 혐기성 소화조의 온도는 수리학적 체류시간이 짧아짐에 따라 지수적 온도강하를 나타내었으며 고온 혐기성소화를 위한 최소 HRT는 약 10일 정도로 판단된다. 따라서 고온 호기법을 이용한 유기성폐기물의 처리시 발생되는 열에너지는 혐기성 소화와 같은 체류시간이 비교적 긴 공정에서 효과적일 것으로 판단된다. 혐기조의 유기물 부하 $1.1kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, 고온 호기조 유기물의 투입량 $50kg/m^3$, 공기 유입량 $250{\ell}/m^3{\cdot}min$의 조건에서 혐기성 소화효율은 90% 이상으로 나타났다.

In this research, the synthetic livestock wastewater was prepared to study the characteristics of organic matter removal, the change of VFA production, and the amount of gas production with respect to the change of ammonium nitrogen concentration in the waste using anaerobic fixed bed process, which is an anaerobic biofilm process. The HRT and operation temperature were 1 day and $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, respectively. Also, the characteristics of organic matter removal and the inhibitory effect on microorganism in the anaerobic process were studied on the organic loading and ammonium nitrogen concentration. The results obtained were as follows: For COD loading of $10kg/m^3$-day and five levels of ammonium nitrogen concentration ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 mg/L, organic removal efficiencies were about 81, 74, 67, 58, and 51%, and gas productions were 3,860, 3,520, 3,240, 3,020, and 2,790 ml/l-day, respectively. Average methane contents in the gas produced on COD loading of $10kg/m^3$-day was about 76%. Throughout the whole period of experiment, remaining VFA (as COD base) in the effluent was over 90% of remaining COD. This result indicated the inhibitory effect of high concentration of ammonium nitrogen through the facts that accumulated VFA was almost COD and organic removal efficiency decreased also with the increase of ammonium nitrogen. Especially, that implys which high concentration of ammonium nitrogen not only inhibits methane forming bacteria, but also acid forming bacteria.

This study aimed to develop a novel anaerobic two-stage process converting food waste to $H_2$ and $CH_2$. The anaerobic two-stage process was devised by combining hydrogen fermentation with methane fermentation. At the high loading rate of 12.3 kg $Vs/m^3/d$, it could remove 72.5%of VS and convert $VS_{removed}$ to $H_2$ (28.2%) and $CH_4$ (69.9%) on COD basis in 8 days.

The purpose of this study is to examine the purification efficiency of the septic tank method which has been applied by the most of Korean livestock farms, in terms of anaerobic and aerobic treatment. Except several days in summer, BOD of effluent shows 1,500 -3,000 ppm by anaerobic process. In most cases , it exceeds according to the seasons show an increase by decrease of temperature. The removal effect on T-N is hardly found. The suspended solids contents of effluent are reduced to the level of 50-90%. Although BOD contents of effluent are kept high in the beginning, the removal rate of BOD shows 80 percent in the latter half by the aerobic treatment . The removal efficiency of total nitrogen does not appear through the experimental period, but the contents of T-N are not increased in the aerobic process unlike in the anaerobic process. The total phosphorous contents in effluent keep a constant level of 14 mg/L in average. The removal rate of phosphorous shows 91 percent i the last stage.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performances of organic removal and methane recovery by using a full scale two-phase anaerobic system. The full scale two-phase anaerobic process was consists of an acidogenic anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and a methanognic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The volumes of acidogenic and methanogenic reactors were designed to $28.3m^3$ and $75.3m^3$. The two-phase anaerobic system represented 60-82% of COD removal efficiency when the influent COD concentration was in the range of 7,150 to 16,270 mg/L after screening (average concentration is 10,280 mg/L). After steady-state, the effluent COD concentration in the methanogenic reactor showed $2,740{\pm}330 mg/L$ by representing average COD removal efficiency was $71.4{\pm}8.1%$ when the operating temperature was in the range of $19-32^{\circ}C$. The effluent SCOD concentration was in the range of 2,000-3,000 mg/L at the steady state while the volatile fatty acid concentration was not detected in the effluent. Meanwhile, the COD removal efficiency in the acidogenic reactor showed less than 5%. The acidogenic reactor played key roles to reduce a shock-loading when periodic shock loading was applied and to acidify influent organics. Due to the high concentration of alkalinity and high pH in the effluent of the methanogenic reactor, over 80% of methane in the biogas was produced consistently. More than 70% of methane was recovered from theoretical methane production of TCOD removed in this research. The produced gas can be directly used as a heat source to increase the reactor temperature.

본 연구에서는 혐기성 생물 반응조에서 35일 동안 배양된 하수슬러지와 판지슬러지를 혼합한 후, 초음파 파쇄기를 이용한 고농도 유기성 폐기물의 회분식 혐기 소화 공정에서 메탄 생산 특성이 고찰되었다. 초음파 파쇄기의 진폭이 높아질수록 Soluble Chemical Oxygen Demand (SCOD)가 증가함으로써 판지슬러지의 효과적 가용화가 이루어졌다. 또한, 메탄 생산성 향상을 위한 초음파 파쇄기의 최적 진폭이 $142.5\;{\mu}m$임을 구하였으며, 혐기소화 기간이 길러질수록 메탄 생산량은 증가하였다. 그리고, 바이오매스 변화(6000, 9000, 12000 mg/L)에 의한 혐기성 소화처리가 이루어졌을 때, 미생물 농도가 높아질수록 메탄 생산량이 모두 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 실험 결과들은 판지슬러지와 하수슬러지가 혼합된 고농도 유기성 폐기물의 혐기성 소화 공정에 의한 메탄 생산성을 향상시키는 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
