This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of effluent recycling on the UASB reactor performances at the various organic loading rates and influent substrate concentrations. The organic removal efficiency of the reactors operated with effluent recycle were above 85%. However, the efficiencies of the reactors operated without the recycle were below 40% even though the effort to increase the efficiencies was made by changing the influent substrate concentrations and the organic loading rates, and introducing the effluent recycle at the final stage of the experiment. It was realized that the certain amount of effluent recycling from the start-up stage in UASB reactors seemed to be necessary to provide the effective contact chances between the substrate and granular sludge for better performances of the UASB process.

Effluent recycling effect on UASB reactor performances is known as an important operational factor. In the present study, the possibility of intermittent recycle in UASB process for saving the power consumption was examined at different organic loading and various operational modes in recycle time period. The organic removal efficiencies of the reactors operated with the intermittent effluent recycle were considerably higher compared to those without the effluent recycle. In the intermittent recycle mode, the organic removal efficiencies slightly decreased as the non-recycle time period in the operational mode increased. Proper ratio of recycle and non-recycle time period in the mode seemed to be required to prevent the produced biogas from accumulation in the sludge bed, which caused dead zone in the reactor and sludge loss when the gas was escaped from the bed at the certain pressure.

본 연구에서는 주정폐액의 고율처리를 위하여 이상 UASB 공정을 시험하였다. 상분리는 반응조의 pH를 조절하므로써 가능하였다. 유입폐수의 SS 농도가 4.1g/l일 때 산형성조는 유기부하 16.5kg $COD/m^3.day$까지 운전이 가능하였고, 이때 산생성율은 3.9g HAc/l.day를 나타내었다. 메탄형성조는 유기부하 44kg $COD/m^3.day$까지 운전이 가능하였으며, 이때 COD 제거율은 80%이었고 비가스 생성율은 16.51/l.day이었다. 두 반응조에서 입상슬러지가 형성된 이후에는 알칼리도의 주입없이 메탄조유출수의 재순환으로 산형성조의 pH를 적절하게 유지할 수 있었다.

런던협약에 의해 2012년부터는 폐기물 해양투기가 전면 금지될 것이다. 따라서 지상에서의 음식폐기물 처리방법의 모색이 시급한 실정이다. 위 문제의 해결방안은 UASB 공법을 이용하여 음폐수로부터 자원화개발을 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 유출수의 재순환 및 내부반송이 유기물 제거효율과 바이오 가스 생성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 25일 동안은 내부순환만 실시하였고, 그 후엔 유출수 재순환을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 운전기간동안 유기물 제거효율은 90% 이상으로 나타났고, 메탄수율은 78~80%로 나타났다. 또한, 유출수 반송을 3 Q 이상으로 반송하여 운전할 경우 수산화나트륨(1 N)의 소모가 없었고, 그 결과 경제적이며 안정적인 운전을 할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 UASB 반응조를 이용하여 음폐수 탈리액을 원료로 하여 중온소화($35{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$)와 고온소화($55{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$)법을 통한 운전을 실시하였다. 20일 동안은 중온소화로 운전을 하면서 5일 간격으로 유출수 재순환 비를 단계적으로 변화시켰다. 고온소화 역시 중온소화와 마찬가지 조건으로 운전을 실시하였다. 실험결과 중온소화 시 유기물제거율은 90% 이상, 메탄수율은 약 66~70%로 나타났다. 고온소화 시 유기물제거율은 80% 이상, 메탄수율은 약 62~68%로 나타났다. 또한, 유출수 반송을 3Q 이상으로 반송하여 운전할 경우 경제적이며 안정적인 운전을 할 수 있었다.

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.

음식물쓰레기의 산발효 침출액은 중온의 UASB 반응조에서 매우 효과적으로 처리되었다. COD 제거율은 부하율 $15.8g\;COD/{\ell}{\cdot}d$까지 96%이상의 효율을 유지하였으며, 메탄생성율은 $5.5{\ell}/{\ell}{\cdot}d$까지 증가하였다. 제거된 COD 중에서는 92%가 메탄으로 전환되었고 나머지는 미생물로 전환된 것으로 보인다. 부하율 $18.7g\;COD/{\ell}{\cdot}d$ 이상에서는 COD 제거율이 크게 감소하였는데, 이는 10.6 h 이하의 짧은 HRT에 의한 슬러지의 부상 및 washout에 기인한다. SMA(specific methanogenic activity) 값은 뷰틸산에 대하여 가장 컸고, 프로피온산에 대하여 가장 작았는데, 이는 유출수 중에서 잔류 프로피온산의 농도가 가장 높았던 사실과 일치한다. 대표적인 미생물은 Methanosaeta였으며, 운전기간 동안 슬러지의 입경이 증가하여 식종균에는 전체 양의 64.3%가 1.4 mm보다 작았지만 운전 후에는 75.1%가 1.4 mm 이상을 차지하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performances of organic removal and methane recovery in the full scale two-phase anaerobic system. The full scale two-phase anaerobic system was consists of an acidogenic ABR (Anaerobic Baffled Reactor) and a methanognic UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor. The volume of acidogenic and methanogenic reactors is designed to 28.3 $m^3$ and 75.3 $m^3$. 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 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.

This research aims to remove nitrogen in the piggery wastewater by combined process with upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and biofilm process. For the effective denitrification. anaerobic and anoxic reactors were connected to a reactor. The effluent of aerobix reactor was recycled equally with influent in the upper filter of anaerobic reactor for denitrification and outlet of UBF reactor was connected to the settling tank with $1.5{\;}{\ell}$ capacity and the settling sludge was repeatedly recycled to UASB zone. The organic loading rate of total reactor was operated from 0.4 to $3.1kgCOD/m^{3}/d$ and it was observed that the removal rate of TCOD was 80 to 95 percentage. Ammonia nitrogen was removed over 90 percentage in the less volumetric loading rate than $0.1{\;}kgN/m^{3}/d$. But because of non-limitation of organic materials, it was reduced to 70 percentage in the more volumetric loading rate than $0.6{\;}kgN/m^{3}/d$. But denitrification rate was observed 100 percentage in the all of loading rate. This is caused by the maintenance of optimum temperature, sufficient carbon source, and competition of electron acceptors. The results of COD mass balance at the $1.21{\;}kgCOD/m^{3}/d$ was observed with the 71.7% percentage of influent COD. It was revealed that the most part of organic materials was removed in the aerobic and the anaerobic reactor because 38.4 percentage was conversed into $CH_{4}$ gas and 11 percentage was removed in the aerobic reactor with cell synthesis and metabolism. Besides, 5.7% organics was used to denitrification reaction and 3.7% organics related to sulfate reduction.
