초록

본 연구에서는 강화된 TP 처리를 위해, 처리해야 할 인 농도에 대한 응집제 최적 주입 비율을 보다 손쉽게 결정하고 조절할 수 있는 실시간 자동제어가 가능한 응집제 주입량 최적제어 시스템(M-COS)을 구성하였으며, 실제 하수처리장 현장실험을 통하여 유량과 수질 변동에 따른 현장 적용성을 검토하였다. 현장적용은 1월말(Period 1), 4월초(Period 2), 5월 중순(Period 3)의 각 시기에 M-COS가 설치된 pilot plant에서 운전?평가되었다. 그 결과, 수질에 따른 능동적 대처가 가능한 M-COS에 비해 대조군의 경우 과량으로 주입된 경우가 많이 발생하여, M-COS에 의한 응집제 절감률은 각 기간 동안 10.4%, 15.3%, 9.0%로 평균 11.6%가 절감되는 것으로 평가되었다. 또한, 응집제 주입에 따른 구입비, 슬러지 발생량, 슬러지 처리비용, 처리용량($1,000,000m^3/d$)을 반영한 처리비용 증가액을 예측하였다. 예측된 M-COS 실험군의 처리비용 증가액은 대조군 대비 각각 13.8%, 20.0%, 11.4%로 평균 15.0%의 비용절감 효과가 나타나, 현장적용이 가능함을 판단할 수 있었다.

In this study, we developed an M-COS (molit coagulant-dosing optimization system), which enables to apply the optimum coagulant dose determined in real time, in order to satisfy the total phosphorus (TP) regulation (0.5 mg/L), and then tested its field applicability. Field tests were conducted at three different periods in 2014 in a pilot plant where the M-COS was installed. Coagulant reduction rate by the M-COS was 10.4%, 15.3%, and 9.0% for each period (average 11.6%), when comparing with a control where coagulants were applied at a constant rate. Total cost for the M-COS or control was estimated by summing up the coagulant cost and sludge treatment cost, and then the resulting cost increase was predicted. Cost reduction rate by the M-COS was 13.8%, 20.0%, and 11.4% for each period (average 15.0%). This study indicates that the M-COS can be an alternative to a conventional system for TP treatment, with a better cost efficiency.
