To remove phosphorus from the effluent of public wastewater treatment facilities, hundreds of enhanced phosphorus treatment processes have been introduced nationwide. However, these processes have a few problems including excessive maintenance cost and sludge production caused by inappropriate coagulant injection. Therefore, the optimal decision of coagulant dosage and automatic control of coagulant injection are essential. To overcome the drawbacks of conventional phosphorus removal processes, the integrated sedimentation and dissolved air flotation(SeDAF) process has been developed and a demonstration plant(capacity: 100 m3/d) has also been installed. In this study, various jar-tests(sedimentation and / or sedimentation·flotation) and multiple regression analyses have been performed. Particularly, we have highlighted the decision–making algorithms of optimal coagulant dosage to improve the applicability of the SeDAF process. As a result, the sedimentation jar-test could be a simple and reliable method for the decision of appropriate coagulant dosage in field condition of the SeDAF process. And, we have found that the SeDAF process can save 30 – 40% of coagulant dosage compared with conventional sedimentation processes to achieve total phosphorus (T-P) concentration below 0.2 mg/L of treated water, and it can also reduce same portion of sludge production.
The amount of waste water generated from the domestic sources is consistently increasing in proportion to economic growth, and the conventional activated sludge process is widely being used for general waste water treatment. But the ministry of environment becomes stringthent treatment standards of N and P (less than 20mg/L of N, 2mg/L of P) to prevent the eutrophication of lake water, and therefore highly advanced treatment technology is required not only in the existing treatment plants where the activated sludge process is being used, but also in newly constructed treatment plants for the treatment of N and P. This study is aimed at highly operating the engineering technology method was developed by domestic to eliminate N and P at the same time. Experiments were conducted in the treatment plant located in Yong In city. The bioreactor was started from the principal equipment for the elimination of N and P and the elimination of organic compounds. It consists of an internal recycle piping from the end of the aerobic tank to the anoxic tank and external recycle piping from the final settling basin to the denitrification tank. By experiment of 4 types separate inflow of waste water to the denitrification tank and the anaerobic tank, and changes in staying time at the anoxic tank and the aerobic tank, the elimination of organic compounds in each type and the relationship in the efficiency between the elimination of N and P were researched.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate for performance of biochipfiltration phosphorus treatment process developed by ANT21 and to enhance phosphorus water quality standards to meet the optimum operation conditions of phosphorus treatment process are presented. Alum, FeCl3 as the coagulant used, each with a Jar-Test influent water quality and remaval efficiency of phosphorus treatment process when compared to water quality and removal efficiency of T-P are not a big difference, Alum in the removal efficiency and water quality was the most stable and high coagulant in the case of the removal of CODmn, SS, TN. Alum and Polymer processing efficiency when using the water quality was good and treatment water quality is CODmn 19 mg/L, SS 5 mg/L, TN 26 mg/L, T-P 0.135 mg/L less than water quality standards. If Alum is applied to the field, Alum injection amount per m3 influent unit is 24 g. During the field testing operation period, the influent has average COD mn 27 mg/L, SS 10 mg/L, T-N 22 mg/L, T-P 0.910 mg/L, and the final effluent has average CODmn 22 mg/L, SS 4 mg/L, T-N 20 mg/L, T-P 0.166 mg/L respectively. Average removal efficiency of each water quality item was CODmn 21%, SS 65%, T-N 8%, TP 82% and phosphorus treatment process is effective for the removal of SS and T-P but there is a limit to the removal of CODmn and T-N.
국내 하수처리장에서는 방류수에 총인 규제의 강화에 대응하기 위해 응집제와 여과 혹은 가압 부상 등의 방법을 이용하여 인을 물리·화학적으로 처리고 있으며, 사용되는 응집제는 주로 황산반토, PAC(poly aluminum chloride)등을 이용되고 있다. 그리고 처리 과정에서 발생되는 슬러지(이하에서는 총인 슬러지라고 함)는 별도로 탈수하거나 처리장의 여건에 따라 소화 슬러지와 통합하여 탈수하여 처분되고 있는 실정이다. 총인 슬러지에는 다량의 알루미늄과 인이 함께 함유되어 있으며, D시 하수처리장에 발생되는 총인 슬러지를 대상으로 하여 분석한 결과, 알루미늄이 150~220g/kg, 총인이 16~23g/kg정도 함유되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 함유량은 다량의 응집제를 사용하는 정수 공정에서 발생되는 슬러지의 알루미늄 함유량(110~140g/kg)에 비해서도 높은 값임을 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 D시의 하수처리장 중에서 총인 슬러지를 별도로 탈수 처리하고 있는 처리장의 슬러지를 대상으로 비료의 원료로 사용할 수 있는 인과 응집제로 재사용을 위한 알루미늄의 회수를 위한 기초적 조건을 검토하고 회수한 응집제의 인의 회수능과 분리 회수한 인의 순도에 대한 검토를 실시하였다. 회수한 응집제의 경우는 황산반토와 유사한 인의 제거능을 보였으나, Hydroxylapatite의 형태로 회수한 인의 경우는 알루미늄과의 완전한 분리가 이루어지지 않아 중량 단위로 인에 비해 3배 이상의 알루미늄이 되어 있는 것으로 나타났지만, 총인 슬러지에 있어서 인의 함유량이 알루미늄의 약 10배 정도임을 감안한다면, 약 70%의 알루미늄을 제거한 알루미늄과 결합되어 있을 가능성이 높은 Hydroxylapatite를 얻을 수 있었다.
