본 논문에서는 양돈폐수의 전처리 공정으로 부유성 세라믹 담체로 충진한 Anaerobic Filter (AF)을 이용하여 신재생에너지 메탄가스의 생산 가능성과 전처리 후 유출수의 후속 고도처리 적정성을 평가하였다. 유입 COD 농도가 14,000 mg/L인 양돈폐수를 Anaerobic Filter에 점진적으로 유기물부하(OLR)를 증가시키면서 혹은 수리학적 체류시간을 짧게 유지하면서 $35^{\circ}C$에서 운전한 결과는 다음과 같다. Anaerobic Filter는 HRT 0.5일(OLR 28 g TVS/L-d)에서 최대 메탄발생량 1.74 v/v-d를 달성하였으며, Biogas 기준 TVS 제거효율은 HRT 3일(OLR 4.67 g TVS/L-d)로 운전하였을 때 63%를 얻었다. 반면 유출수 분석에 의한 TCOD 제거효율은 75%를 상회하였다. 유출수의 알카리도는 모든 운전 조건에서 2,050~2,980 mg/L as $CaCO_3$로서 후속 질소제거 시 야기될 수 있는 알카리도 파괴를 상쇄할 수 있을 것이다. HRT 2일 이하의 운전조건에서 Anaerobic Filter 유출수의 COD/TKN 비는 10~35 범위로서 고도처리 시 적정비인 8 이상을 만족하였으며 COD/TP 비는 38~56범위로서 적정비 33 이상 유지가 가능하였다.

Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the performances of anaerobic filters packed with ceramic tube and pall-ring media treating a dairy waste. The media packing volume was 65% of effective volume of anaerobic filter. Organics removals of anaerobic filters were maintained above 80% even at an organics loading rate of $10kgCOD/m^3/d$, and this was comparable to aerobic treatment of organic wastes. Organics removals of the ceramic tube anaerobic filters were always lower than those of the pall-ring anaerobic filters due to intrinsic physical property of ceramic tube, especially lower void space which caused to clogging and entrapment of biogas, substrate transfer limitation, and irregular evolution of biogas leading to loss of solids and biomass. This was clearly observed in higher concentration of TSS in the effluent from the ceramic tube anaerobic filter despite of higher retention capacity of TSS compared with pall-ring media. Vertical distribution of organics and solids in the filters showed above 90% of organics and solids in influent were removed below 20% of reactor height, and 50% of remaining organics and solids were removed though media packing zone. Effluent quality from the anaerobic filter was heavily depended on media itself as well as suspended biomass formed below media. It is therefore concluded that the type of media played an important role in biomass accumulation arid gas-liquid-solid separation efficiency. Type of media did not affect the start-up behaviors of the anaerobic filter, and supernatant from anaerobic digested sludge showed a good performance as a seeding materials.

Laboratory investigation was conducted to evaluat the mixing effects on organic removal efficiency to treat low-strength synthetic wastewater using modified anaerobic - filter reactor combining anaerobic filter and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket. Using the modified process the low-strength wastewater like municipal sewage could be treated with 85% T-COD removal efficiency at hydraulic retention time of 6 hours. At the constant organic loading of 0.5 kg COD/m 3-day, the organic removal efficiency and effluent COD concentration are increased as influent COD concentration increased from 125 mg/l to 500 mg/l. Mixing effects on organic removal efficiency are evident and optimum mixing speed is found as 50RPM. Placing the granular sludge and media on which slime layer was pre-formed into the reactor seemed to be very effective In achieving short start-up period. Therefore, the steady state was achived after 4 weeks and 1 week based on T-COD and S-COD, respectively.

The effects of packing materials in the anaerobic reactor and inorganic chemicals in the synthetic wastewater on the anaerobic treatment during the start up period were investigated using anaeroic filter process. The Ringlace and Honeycomb tube as packing materials were used in the anaerobic reactors. The Ca$^{2+}$ and Fe$^{2+}$ ion concentration as inorganic chemicals contained higher 40 times and 100 times as compared to the control synthetic wastewater, respectively. A start up period 104 and 150 days were necessary to achieve loading rate of 0.37 and 0.74 kg-Toc/m$^3$.d in the anaerobic filter process packed by Ringlace and Honeycomb tube, respectively. The loading rates of the reactor using the synthetic wastewater containing Ca$^{2+}$ (40 times) could be increased faster than in the reactors using the synthetic wastewater containing Fe$^{2+}$ ion (100 times) and control synthetic wastewater. The results of XMA analysis that a lot of the Ca$^{2+}$ ion on the surface of the anaerobic sludge in the anaerobic reactor packed by Ringlace which were fed supplied with synthetic wastewater containing Ca$^{2+}$ ion (40 times) observed as compared to the reactors supplied with control synthetic wastewater and containing Fe$^{2+}$ ion (100 times).

Characteristics of the upflow anaerobic filter process have been studied with six other conditions. When nitrate was mixed with influent in the bottom of the reactor, removal efficiencies of TBOD and TCOD were lower than those of TBOD and TCOD when nitrate was injected to the side of the reactor. In addition, when nitrate was injected to the side of the reactor the concentration of volatile acids of effluent was not high and ORP of effluent was lower than the mixture when nitrate was mingled with influent. It means that the bottom of the anaerobic filter played an important role in making volatile acids, methane production, and denitrification. Moreover, percentage of methane in the gas increased in accordance with increasing nitrate injection. It was because there were a lot of methane producing microorganisms which would rather use hydrogen than acetate. This reactor condition gets unstable due to provide nitrate. Therefore, higher hydrogen Pressure, shorter generation time, and lower standard Gibb's free energy gave great portion of methane of gas.

This study thus looks into two treatment processess : i) Anaerobic digester coupled with hollow fibre membrane unit. Treatment of starch waste with anaerobic digester-membrane system was studied. $0.17\m^2$ area of hollow fibre membrane unit of known pore size was immersed into laboratory-scale anaerobic digestion system. The pore size of membrane was varied from 0.03 to $\0.15mu$m. The hydraulic retention time of anaerobic digester was varied from 1.5 to 10 days. The effect of hydraulic retention time on treatment efficiency was significant while effect of membrane size was not significant. The gas production was about 0.74㎥/kg COD treated. The COD removal efficient was about 80-95% depending on the hydraulic retention time. ii ) Crossflow ultrafiltration as post treatment to anaerobic filter. The effluent from anaerobic filter, which had a total COD in the range of 4,500-5,200 mg/L was treated by crossflow ultrafiltration units. The study conducted with different membrane pore size indicated that membrace with 1,000,000 molecular weight cut-off size gave a higher COD removal efficiency in the range of 83-87% while giving a study flux of $120-130 L/\m^2$.h. A study was conducted to see the long term clogging effect of membrane also.

A new type of microbial fuel cell (MFC) with anaerobic membrane filter was designed to produce bioelectricity and to treat domestic sewage at relatively high organic loading rate (OLR) of $6.25kgCOD/m^3/day$ and short hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1.9 h. A following aeration system was applied to ensure effluent water quality in continuous operation. Glucose was supplemented to increase the influent concentration of domestic sewage. Influent substrate of 95% was removed via the MFC and following aeration system and the corresponding maximum power density was $25.6mW/m^3$. External resistor of $200{\Omega}$ and air-cathode system contributed better MFC performance comparing to $2000{\Omega}$ and dissolved oxygen as a catholyte.

농어촌 등에서 소규모로 발생하는 하수를 자연정화공법 의한 인공습지에서 효과적으로 처리하기 위하여 소형 하수처리장치를 호기성조 및 혐기성조로 구분하여 시공한 다음, 최적 하수 부하량을 조사하기 위해 하수 부하량별 오염물질의 처리효율을 조사한 결과 호기-혐기 조합형 소형 하수처리장에서 전반적으로 하수 부하량이 증가함에 따라 오염물질의 처리효율이 점점 감소하는 경향으로 특히 하수부하량 300 $Lm^{-2}day^{-1}$ 이상에서 수처리효율의 감소폭이 약간 컸다. 따라서 본 소형 하수처리장에서 BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, 탁도, T-N 및 T-P를 안정적으로 처리하기 위한 최적 부하량은 300 $Lm^{-2}day^{-1}$ 이었고, 이 때의 방류수 중 BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, 탁도, T-N 및 T-P의 처리효율은 각각 99, 94, 99, 49 및 89%로 현행 방류수 수질기준을 만족하면서 안정적으로 처리되었다. 하지만 본 소형 하수처리장에서 방류수 중의 T-N 및 T-P 함량은 각각 $28.5{\sim}29.4$ 및 $0.9{\sim}2.1mgL^{-1}$ 정도로서 앞으로 질소와 인의 방류수 수질기준이 각각 20 및 2 $mgL^{-1}$로 강화됨에 따라 보다 안정적인 수처리를 위해서는 T-N 및 T-P 처리효율을 향상시켜야 할 것으로 판단된다. 이에 최적 하수 부하량하에서 질소와 인의 강화될 방류수 수질기준(질소 20 $mgL^{-1}$ 및 인 2 $mgL^{-1}$)을 만족시키면서 안정적인 하수처리를 위한 최적의 수처리 공정개선 방안을 조사하였다. 호기-혐기 조합형 소형 하수처리장에서 수처리 공정개선 중 질소 및 인의 처리효율 향상이 가능한 방안은 혐기성조의 깊이 및 여재 입경 변경과 여재에 굴패각을 혼합한 방법이었다. 혐기성조의 깊이 및 여재 입경 변경 조건 중 혐기성조 1.5 m 깊이에서 여재 A(유효입경 1.50 mm)를 사용한 경우 T-N 및 T-P의 처리효율을 각각 10 및 3% 향상시켰고, 여재에 굴패각 혼합한 경우 T-N 및 T-P의 처리효율을 각각 14 및 7% 향상시켰다. 또한 동일한 조의 체적하에서 혐기성조의 깊이를1.5 m로 깊게한 것은 혐기성조 깊이 1 m에 비해 부지면적을 약 33% 정도 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 또한 굴패각을 사용한 것은 폐기물의 재활용면에서도 매우 효과적인 방안으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
