슬러지의 안정화, 휘발성 고형물 감소, 바이오가스 생산을 위해 혐기성 소화공정이 슬러지의 처리 방안으로 연구됐다. 본 연구에서는 하?폐수 슬러지(MWS, IWS), 혼합슬러지(Mix), 탈수슬러지(MWSC)를 대상으로 바이오가스 생산 가능성을 살펴보기 위해 Total solids, Volatile solids, 원소분석, BMP 실험을 하였다. Total solids 함량은 11.2∼20.6 %의 값을 가지며 Volatile solids의 함량은 TS의 62.1∼83.1 %의 값을 가지고 있다. C/N비는 4.96∼8.33의 값을 나타났다. BMP test를 한 결과 혼합슬러지의 경우 약 20일, 하?폐수 슬러지의 경우 약 16∼17일에 메탄발생이 종료되었다. 탈수케이크는 약 10일까지 메탄이 발생하였으며 가장 빨리 메탄발생이 종료되었다. 누적 메탄발생량의 경우 혼합슬러지가 395.50 mL CH₄/g VS으로 가장 높은 누적 메탄 발생량을 가진다. 누적 이산화탄소 발생량은 탈수케이크를 제외하고 비슷한 값을 보이고 있다. Anaerobic digestion was investigated for the stabilization of sludge, decrease of volatile solids, production of biogas for wastewater sludge. In this study, total solids and volatile solids, elemental analysis were conducted to determine characteristics of various types of sludges and investigate the feasibility of biogas production of Municipal Wastewater Sludge (MWS), Industrial Wastewater Sludge (IWS), mixed sludge (Mix), and Municipal Wastewater Sludg Cake (MWSC). Total solids, volatile solids, and C/N ratio were determined in the range of 11.2∼20.6 %, 62.1∼83.1 % of TS and 4.96∼8.33 %. Using the biochemical methane potential (BMP test), mixed sludge and wastewater sludge finished the methane production within approximately 20 day and 16∼17 day. Sludge cake finished within 10 day. Mixed sludge produced 395.5 mL CH4 per g of Volatile Solid (VS) and resulted in the highest methane production. For carbon dioxide production, five sludges had similar value of accumulated carbon dioxide production except for sludge cake.

이성민(Lee Seongmin),이윤식(Lee Yoonsik) 한국지반환경공학회 2009 한국지반환경공학회논문집 Vol.10 No.7

하수를 정화하는 과정에서 발생하는 슬러지는 과거 주로 매립되어 왔으나, 2003년 유기성 슬러지의 매립금지라는 폐기물 관리법이 개정됨에 따라 최근에는 주로 해양투기 되어왔다. 그러나 ‘런던협약 96의정서’에 의해 2011년부터 해양투기도 금지될 예정이어서, 세계 각국은 슬러지의 다양한 처리방법에 대해 노력하고 있다. 우리나라도 예외 없이, 하수슬러지의 합리적인 처리방법을 찾기 위해 현재 많은 전문가들이 노력하고 있으며, 그중 하나가 재생 에너지화이다. 슬러지의 재생 에너지화의 성패는 친환경적이고 경제적인 건조방법에 달려 있다 해도 과언이 아니다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영동군에서 발생하고 있는 하수슬러지를 재생에너지화하기 위해, 슬러지의 화학적 특성을 분석하여 에너지화 가능성을 검토하고, 마이크로파를 물과 슬러지에 각각 조사하여 슬러지의 건조 특성과 효율성 등을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 영동군하수 슬러지는 중금속 성분이 매우 적고 열량이 3,370㎉/㎏ 이상으로 재생 에너지화하기에 적당함을 확인하였다. 또한, 마이크로파에 의한 슬러지 건조 특성을 분석한 결과, 슬러지 중량 대비 시간의 곡선은 투입 슬러지 량에 관계없이 늘어진 S자 형태의 거동특성을 보임은 물론 그 기울기가 일정함을 확인하였다. 또한, S 곡선을 변곡점 기준으로 세 영역으로 나눌 경우 두 번째 영역에서 건조가 가장 많이 일정하게 발생하며, 전체 건조량의 약 80% 이상임도 확인하였다. 본 결과는 향후 마이크로파를 이용한 full-scale 건조공정에서 투입 슬러지 대비 슬러지 건조량을 예측하는데 적용할 수 있다. 또한 본 실험 결과에 의하면, 마이크로파에 의한 건조능력이 약 1.0㎏/㎾ 이상을 보이고 있어 경제성도 갖고 있음을 확인하였다. Wastewater sludge had normally filled up in land before revising the law of waste material management in 2003, which does not permit landfill of organic sludge in Korea. After the law, most sludge has been littered in the ocean up to now. However, due to the London Convention 96 Protocol, littering sludge in the ocean will also be prohibited after 2011. This Protocol makes countries find out new methods to treat wastewater sludge. There is no exception in Korea too. Many researchers have urgently try to find out better ways to treat sludge. One of ways is to make sludge recycle energy and the success of it depends on drying method. Specifically, it really depends how to make sludge dry ecologic friendly and economic efficiently. Therefore, wastewater sludge produced in Youngdong was analyzed to make it energy resources in this study. The sludge was tested to analyze the drying and chemical characteristics of it by irradiating microwave. In the result, it is sure that the sludge has little heavy metals as like as others in country side. High calories, 3370 ㎉, shows that it has good potential to be recycle energy. Moreover, weight deduction of the sludge vs. time shows long S-curve and has same deduction ratio. Specifically, S-curve can be divided by three sections based on the curvature points. There are steady state reduction ratio of weight and approximately 80% of weight duction in the second section. This results can be used to estimate the amount of sludge reduction in the full-scale microwave dryer. Drying capacity of microwave shows approximately 1.0 ㎏/㎾/hr. It makes sure that sludge recycle energy has the potential of economic efficiency too.

Comparison of different fluid dynamics in activated sludge system for the treatment of a stimulated milk processing wastewater: Process analysis and optimization

Wastewater from the milk industry usually undergoes activated sludge ahead of refining treatments, final discharge or reuse. To identify the most effective bioreactor hydraulic regime for the secondary treatment of wastewater resulting from the milk industry in an activated sludge system, two lab-scale activated sludge systems characterized by a different configuration and fluid dynamics (i.e., a compartmentalized activated sludge (CAS) with plug flow regime and a complete mixed activated sludge (AS)) were operated in parallel, inoculated with the same microbial consortium and fed with identical streams of a stimulated dairy wastewater. The effect of three process and operational variables--influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration, sludge recycle ratio (R) and hydraulic retention time (HRT)--on the performance of the two systems were investigated. Experiments were conducted based on a central composite face-centered design (CCFD) and analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM). The region of exploration for treatment of the synthetic wastewater was taken as the area enclosed by the CODin (200, 1,000 mg/l), R (1, 5), and HRT (2, 5 h) boundaries. To evaluate the process, three parameters, COD removal efficiency (E), specific substrate utilization rate (U), and sludge volume index (SVI), were measured and calculated over the course of the experiments as the process responses. The change of the flow regime from complete-mix to plug flow resulted in considerable improvements in the COD removal efficiency of milk wastewater and sludge settling properties. SVI levels for CAS system (30-58 ml/g) were considerably smaller that for the AS system (50-145 ml/g). In addition, the biomass production yield could be reduced by about 10% compared to the AS system. The results indicated that for the wastewater, the design HRT of a CAS reactor could be shortened to 2-4 h.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>This paper evaluates several Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) processes, an integrated sludge management system, and waste sludge disposal methods in a large city based on life cycle analysis (LCA) and economic efficiency analysis (EEA) together. Among the three WWTP processes considered, the A2O process (S-WWTP) showed the lowest eutrophication potential (EP) and global warming potential (GWP), but the highest acidification potential (AP) and human toxicity potential (HTP). Simple integration of sludge treatment by combining two sludge treatment lines resulted in enhanced anaerobic digestion and production of less sludge. For final sludge disposal, incineration with integrated sludge management showed the highest reduction of life cycle impact analysis (LCIA) in all four categories. The simple integration of sludge management could reduce the sludge handling cost by 6.1%. As a final sludge disposal method, incineration with integration of sludge management was the most economic: reducing operation and management (O&M) cost by 33%. These results demonstrated that application of LCA and EEA would be a useful tool for optimizing an integrated sludge-management system. The proposed integrated sludge-management alternatives could provide a valuable example for managing several WWTPs in a large city.</P>

In order to obtain optimum pre-treatment methods and improve T-N and T-P removal efficiencies, removal rates of pollutants in small-scale livestock wastewater treatment apparatus with water plant filtration bed or activated sludge tank were investigated. Based on the results from the optimum pre-treatment in small-scale livestock wastewater treatment apparatus, removal efficiencies of pollutants in livestock wastewater treatment plant with water plant filtration and activated sludge beds. The removal rates of COD, SS, T-N, and T-P in effluent were 83, 89, 63 and 87% in small-scale livestock wastewater treatment apparatus with water plant filtration bed, respectively. The removal rates of COD, SS, T-N, and T-P in effluent were 96, 95, 86 and 92%in small-scale livestock wastewater treatment apparatus with activated sludge tank, respectively. For increasing the COD, SS, T-N, and T-P removals in small-scale livestock wastewater treatment apparatus, the water plant filtration and activated sludge beds are recommended. In livestock wastewater treatment plant with water plant filtration (1^st treatment) and activated sludge (2^nd treatment) beds, the concentrations of COD, SS,T-N, and T-P in effluent were 39, 15, 42 and 1 mg L^-1, respectively. It was shown that the concentrations of COD, SS, T-N, and T-P met acceptable effluent quality standard for livestock wastewater. Based on the above results, the removal rates of COD, SS, T-N, and T-P in effluent were over 99.8, 99.9, 99.2, and 99.9% in livestock wastewater treatment plant, respectively.

Wang Baozhen,Wang Lin,Liu Shuo,Wang Li,Wang Zheng 한국습지학회 2007 한국습지학회지 Vol.9 No.1

The rapid development of economy in China at the expense of consuming huge amount of energy and resources, water resource in particular, which has resulted in the production and discharge of increasing amount of wastewater to the water environment. In order to effectively control the increasing water pollution trend, the State Council has stipulated that all the cities with population over 500,000 should reach wastewater treatment rate of 60% by 2005, and all the cities should reach the rate of 60% by 2010, of which Capital Beijing and all the province capital cities and important tourism cities should reach 70% then. By the end of 2005, of the 661 cities in China, 393 have built and operated municipal wastewater treatments with a total number of 790 sets, total treatment capacity of 80.91×106 m3/d and total treatment rate of > 48%. Other 73 cities have started the construction of municipal wastewater treatment plants, and other 168 cities have started to prepare, planning and design of wastewater treatment plants. Most of municipal wastewater treatment plants in big cities in China operate normally and perform well with good quality of effluent in terms of wastewater treatment train, but the sewage sludge treatment is usually poor with big problems. It has been found that the small scale WWTPs using activated sludge process in the towns are usually operated and maintained abnormally because of lack of fund, skilled operators and energy. It is therefore suggested that the small scale MWWTPs in small cities and towns adopt appropriate technologies, of which the most available ones are multi-stage ponds, constructed wetlands and the combination of them for further purification and reuse of treated wastewater.

현길수 ( Kil Soo Hyun ) 한국수처리학회 2010 한국수처리학회지 Vol.18 No.5

In this study, it was conduct to investigate the performance of granular sludge/granular activated carbon (GAO) system on an advanced treatment of mixed wastewater consisting of domastic wastewater, black water and landfill leachate, which have been treated by coagulation-flocculation and activated sludge system. Hydraulic conditions of granular sludge and GAC system were HAT 3-4h and EBCT 0.6-1.2. Influent COD of synthetic and real wastewater was about 600 mg/L. Based on the results, organic concentration began to decrease with operational time during a cycle. A removal efficiency of the granular sludge reactor (HRT 3h) using synthetic wastewater was COD 95% and TP 68%. When operation time increased from 30 d to 60 d for real mixed wastewater, the removal efficiencies of COD and nutrients increased 5% and 20-25%, respectively. The removal efficiency of granular sludge/GAC system in treating real mixed wastewater was 5-10% higher compared to activated sludge/GAC system. the results indicate that the granular sludge/GAC system is adequate as an alternative system to existing treatment system.

Qinfang Lu,Byung-gon Jeong,Ping Yan,Sohee Kim,Shirong Lai,Jiancheng Liu 대한환경공학회 2020 대한환경공학회지 Vol.42 No.11

Objectives : Wastewater produced by fatty acid production contains high concentration of organic substances and high concentration of salts (mainly sodium sulfate), causing great pollution to water resources and environment. The pollution prevention and control of this type of wastewater are very necessary. The key to treating this type of wastewater is to remove salts and COD to achieve harmless treatment. This is a problem in wastewater management that has plagued the industry for a long time. This paper proposed a technique suitable for fatty acid high salinity organic wastewater. Methods : First, the industrial treatment technology of organic wastewater with high salinity was introduced and analyzed. Combined with the principle of industrial wastewater treatment, the process route for the treatment of fatty acid high salinity organic wastewater was analyzed and selected. In addition, the key technology and process for anaerobic desalination and COD removal were analyzed and selected. Results and Discussion : According to the unique nature of this type of wastewater mainly containing sulphate salts and the feasibility of industrial production, a special technology combination was proposed to treat this wastewater at this stage. Since this wastewater has a B/C ratio of 0.4 to 0.45, it is easier to use biological treatment method. Thus, the conventional treatment method is pretreatment + biological treatment. Biological enhancement and reactor process optimization can be studied for better efficiency. Conclusions : Considering the high COD and sulphate concentration characteristics of fatty acid high-salinity organic wastewater, high-efficiency anaerobic biochemical treatment is mainly considered. Combined with modern high-efficiency anaerobic suspended sludge granule technology, it was concluded that pretreatment + high efficiency IC anaerobic + secondary biological treatment can achieve industrialized treatment of such wastewater in a targeted, low-cost and reliable way. In the later stage, bio-enhancement of the anaerobic process as well as structural and process optimization of the reactor can be carried out to obtain better technical and economic results in production practice.

This study was conducted to assessment organic compound and bioassay (density of inhabited animal, fluctuation of predominant fungi, and survival ratio of earthworm) for finding damage on red pepper by heavily amount application of sludges in soil, which was treated with 3 pharmaceutical byproducts and a cosmetic industry wastewater sludge as raw materials of compost, and for establishing estimation method. HEM contents in the soil treated with pharmaceutical byproducts sludge2 (PS2) and cosmetic sludge (CS) were 0.51, 1.10 mg/kg respectively. PAHs content of PS2 treatment in the soil was 3406.8 ug/kg on July 8. In abundance of soil faunas, the pharmaceutical byproducts sludge2 treatment was the most highest. The next was decreased in the order of pig manure (PM) and the cosmetic sludge treatment. However the other pharmaceutical sludge treatments were remarkably reduced populations of soil inhabited animals. In upland soil treated with organic sludges, the numbers of bacteria and fungi of the pharmaceutical sludge treatment were 736, 909 cfu/g and those of the cosmetic sludge treatment were 440, 236 cfu/g, respectively. The pharmaceutical sludge treatments and the cosmetic sludge treatment in identification of predominant bacteria were not any tendency to compare with non fertilizer and pig manure treatments, but they had diverse bacteria than NPK treatment. In microcosm tests, the survival of the tiger earthworm in five soil samples was hardly affected against the soil of PSI (20%) after three months treated in the upland. But after six months, survival of PSI was 80%. At present, raw material of compost was authorized by contents of organic matter, heavy metal (8 elements), and product processing according to The specified gist on possible materials of using after analysis and investigation among raw materials of compost, however, for preparing to change regulation of raw material of compost and for considering to possibility of application, this study was conducted to investigate toxic organic compound and bioassay methods using inhabited animal, fungi, and earthworm without current regulation.
