Abstract

The nitrogen removal characteristics of the MBR system consisted of two intermittent reactors, a membrane reactor and a deaeration reactor under constant flow and wastewater composition at different operational temperature and SRTs (Sludge Retention Times) were studied by computer simulation. The nitrogen removal efficiencies were dropped from 59% to 31%, when operational temperature was increased to $25^{\circ}C$ from $13^{\circ}C$ with same SRT of 25 days. Lower RBO (Readily Biodegradable Organic) concentrations at intermittent reactors at $25^{\circ}C$ compared with those at $13^{\circ}C$ of operational temperature were believed to be the main cause. The nitrogen removal efficiencies and RBO concentrations at each intermittent reactors were recovered when SRT was reduced to 12.6 days at $25^{\circ}C$. The effect of both SRT and operational temperature on RBO concentrations at intermittent reactors is need to be studied further.

두 개의 간헐반응조, 막분리조, 탈기조로 구성된 생물학적 MBR고도처리 공정에 동일한 유입수량과 수질의 하수가 유입되는 경우 운전 온도 및 SRT (Sludge Retention Time)변화에 따른 질소제거 특성을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 파악하였다. SRT가 25일이고 운전온도가 $25^{\circ}C$인 경우 간헐반응조를 간헐폭기 시키는 경우에 운전온도 $13^{\circ}C$의 59%에서 31%로 질소제거효율이 급격히 떨어지는데, 이는 운전온도 $13^{\circ}C$에 비해서 간헐반응조의 RBO (Readily Biodegradable Organic) 농도가 낮아져서 발생한 현상으로 파악되었다. 운전온도 $25^{\circ}C$에서 SRT를 12.6일로 운전하는 경우 간헐반응조 RBO농도는 증가하고 질소제거 효율은 회복되었다. 간헐반응조를 갖는 MBR시스템에서 SRT와 운전온도가 간헐반응조 RBO농도에 미치는 영향은 좀더 깊게 연구되어야 한다.
