축산폐수를 처리하기 위한 2상 혐기성소화(TPAD)공정을 생물학적 질소제거공정(BNR)과 결합하여 운전하였다. 질산화된 유출수를 TPAD 공정의 산생성 반응조로 반송할 경우 탈질반응이 산생성 반응에 미치는 영향과 효율을 관찰하였다. 질산화된 유출수의 반송은 유입된 COD의 VFA로의 전환율을 향상시켰다. 질산화된 유출수에 적응된 산생성 슬러지의 산생성 속도는 적응되지 않은 슬러지보다 6배 빠른 것으로 관찰되었다. 탈질반응은 생성된 VFA를 탄소기질로써 사용하였지만 산생성 활성도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 탈질속도는 COD/N비에 영향을 받았지만, 질산성 질소에 대한 산생성 슬러지의 적응여부에 더욱 지배적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 산생성 슬러지에 의한 탈질반응은 0차 반응을 보였으며 탈질속도는 1.31$\sim$1.90 mg/L$\cdot$h이었다. 반면, 질산화된 유출수에 적응된 산생성 슬러지의 탈질속도는 3.30 mg/L$\cdot$h로 거의 2배가 빠른 것으로 나타났다. COD/N비 10에서 1g의 질산성 질소를 탈질반응에 의해 제거하는데 소비된 COD의 양론비는 5.1$\sim$6.4 범위이었다.

This study focuses on the feasibility of bio-gas production using anaerobic digestion by measuring methane generation and biodegradability through the BMP test of industrial organic wastes. Organic wastes consist of entrails of pigs and organic residues of rumen generated from slaughter houses, wastewater sludge from slaughter waste water, fish offal and residues of vegetables from public wholesale markets, and wastewater sludge from the process of wastewater treatment in paper mill. The cumulative methane production by BMP test ranges from 149.3 ml/g-VS to 406.6 ml/g-VS and this is similar to methane generation of the normal wastewater sludge and food waste. As a result of measurement of biodegradability, wastewater sludge (S1 ~ S4) is low, ranging from 27.1% to 58.9 % and organic residues of rumen (G1) is low at 49.6 %. In conclusion, it turned out that raising the hydrolysis by various pre-treatments is necessary in order to produce bio-gas by using industrial organic wastes.

Since 2005, food waste has been separately collected and recycled to animal feed or aerobic compost in South Korea. However, the conventional recycling methods discharge process wastewater, which contain pollutant equivalent to more than 50% of food waste. Therefore, anaerobic digestion is considered as an alternative recycling method of food waste to reduce pollutant and recover renewable energy. Recent studies showed that hydrogen can be produced at acidogenic stage in two-stage anaerobic digestion. In this study, the authors investigated the effects of pretreatment time and pH low set value on continuous mesophilic hydrogen fermentation of food waste. Food waste was successfully converted to $H_2$ when heat-treated at $70^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, which was milder than previous studies using pH 12 for 1 day or $90^{\circ}C$. Organic acid production dropped operational pH below 5.0 and caused a metabolic shift from $H_2/butyrate$ fermentation to lactate fermentation. Therefore, alkaline addition for operational pH at or over 5.0 was necessary. At pH 5.3, the result showed that the maximum hydrogen productivity and yield of 1.32 $m^3/m^3$.d and 0.71 mol/mol $carbohydrate_{added}$. Hydrogen production from food waste would be an effective technology for resource recovery as well as waste treatment.

Since the ocean dumping of organic wastes is prohibited under the London Convention, the need for land treatment of food waste leachate (FWL) has significantly been growing in recent years. This study was conducted to use thermal solubilization to turn FWL into a form that can easily be degraded during the anaerobic digestion process, thereby reducing the percentage of solids and increasing the production of methane. To derive the optimal operating conditions of thermal solubilization, a laboratory-scale reactor was built and operated. The optimal reaction temperature and time turned out to be $190^{\circ}C$ and 90 min, respectively. The BMP test showed a methane production of 465 mL $CH_4/g$ $COD_{Cr}$ and a biodegradation rate of 90.1%. The production of methane rose by about 15%, compared with no the application of thermal solubilization. To reduce the solid content of FWL and improve the methane production, therefore, it may be helpful to apply thermal solubilization to pre-treatment facilities for anaerobic digestion.

Due to its carbon-neutral nature, biogas generated from anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable wastes is one of the important renewable energy sources to reduce global warming. It is mainly composed of methane and various inert gases such as $CO_2$ and $N_2$, and the actual composition of biogas significantly varies depending on the origin of anaerobic digestion process. Therefore, in order to effectively utilize this fuel as an energy source for electricity, it is important to develop power generation engines which can successfully apply biogas with significant composition variations. In this study, efforts have been made to develop a diesel-biogas duel fuel engine as a way to achieve such a stable power generation. The effects of diesel fuel injection quantity and pressure on stable combustion and engine performance were investigated, and an impact of diesel fuel atomization was discussed. The engine test results show that there exists a 2 stage combustion which consists of diesel pilot fuel burning and premixed biogas/air mixture burning in dual fuel engine operation and optimum diesel injection parameters were suggested for biogases with various compositions and heating values.

We studied the possibility on the application of the Thermophilic Aerobic Oxidation (TAO) process to anaerobic digestate stabilization. In treating digestate with TAO reactor the internal temperature of the reactor was increasing higher and $51^{\circ}C$ and over was maintained after 6 days on. The physiochemical compositions of liquids increased from pH 8.1 to 9.8 and EC decreased from 29.8 to 12.0 mS/cm in treating process of digestate with TAO reactor. CODcr decreased from 22,654 to 18,843 mg/L, showed about 16.82% of remove efficiency. TN and $NH_4-N$ decreased from 4,813 to 1,733 mg/L, from 3,815 to 812 mg/L respectively, which showed about 64.0% and 78.7% of removal efficiency respectively.

The effluent from anaerobic digestion process of slurry-type piggery waste has a characteristic of very low C/N ratio. Because of high nitrogen content, it is necessary to evaluate nitrogen removal alternative rather than conventional nitrification-denitrification scheme. In this study, two parallel treatment schemes of SBR-like partial nitritation reactor coupled with anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) reactor, and a nitritation reactor followed by nitrite denitrification process were evaluated with a slurry-type piggery waste. The feed to reactors adjusted with various $NH_4-N$ and organics concentration. The nitrite accumulation was successfully accomplished at the loading rate of about $1.0kgNH_4-N/m^3-day$. The $NO_2-N/NH_4-N$ ratio 1~2.6 in nitritated effluent that operated at HRT of 1 day indicated that SBR-like partial nitritation was applicable to ANAMMOX operation. Meanwhile, the nitrite accumulation of 87% was achieved at SBR operated with HRT of 3 days and $0.4mgO_2/L$ for denitritation. Experimental results further suggested that HRT (SRT) and free ammonia(FA) rather than DO are an effective control parameter for nitrite accumulation in piggery waste.

본 연구에서는 오염부하량이 높고, 유입수별 변동폭이 큰 음식물 침출수를 현장조건에서 처리하기 위한 혐기/호기 연속회분반응 (SAAD), 유동층 생물반응 (FBBR) 및 막분리(UF) 결합공정을 개발하고 이의 성능을 평가하였다. 공정 설계시 고려된 사항은 초기 고농도 오염부하의 처리에 적합한 초기 공정의 검토를 위한 이상혐기소화조와 상향류식 혐기성 슬러지 블랑켓트 (UASB)을 비교하여 현장조건에 적용 가능한 단상혐기소화조 (SAAD1)와, 높은 유기물 처리효율 능을 가진 호기소화조 (SAAD2)를 결합한 혐기/호기 연속회분공정을 선정하였다. 또한, 총질소 (TKN), 총인 (TP)의 제거효율을 극대화하기 위한 공기폭기조를 적용한 FBBR을 도입하였으며, salt 오염원을 완전히 제거하기 위한 UF조를 도입하였다. 본 공정의 처리 결과는 유입 음식물 침출수의 화학적 산소요구량 (CODcr)의 변동폭이 큼에도 불구하고, 파일롯 공정은 안정된 처리능을 보였다. 본 연구에 사용된 유입수의 CODcr, TKN, TP, salt의 평균값은 204,166 mg/L, 7,500 mg/L, 540 mg/L, 0.65%였으며, 처리수는 1,207 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 0.01%로 각각의 최종 제거효율은 99.4%, 98.6%, 89.6%, 98.5%의 결과를 나타내었으며, pH는 다소 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이와 더불어, 본 공정의 처리 수는 염분 및 독성물질이 미함유된 고영양 처리수로써 액상비료나 재자원화 공정 (퇴비화) 중 필요한 용수로 사용이 가능한 것으로 조사되었다. 최종적으로 파일롯 규모의 생물-분리막 복합공정은 오염부하가 심하고 유입 부하량 변동폭이 큰 현장조건에서 우수한 처리성능 및 시스템의 안정성을 나타내었으며, 부가적으로 발생되는 메탄가스와 처리수의 재자원화의 장점을 가지며, 현장조건에서 음식물 침출수의 무배출-청정처리가 가능함을 확인하였다.
