Abstract

In the case of small-scale sewage treatment plants, it is reported that the amount of inflow fluctuates and it is difficult to operate the sewage treatment due to the inflow of unknown water due to the aging of sewage pipes. In particular, there are many overall operational problems due to the decrease in water temperature in winter. In this study, the operation status of small-scale sewage treatment facilities located in mountainous areas and water quality changes according to temperature were analyzed. It was found that the concentration of BOD, COD, and SS in effluent water was greatly changed depending on the temperature, and it was found that COD was particularly affected. Accordingly, the water level of the bioreactor was raised by 0.4m in order to temporarily apply measures to lower the water temperature in winter. As a result of comparing and analyzing the results when the bioreactor was covered and operated, a significant improvement effect occurred. In addition, a plan to improve the treatment efficiency of the bioreactor in winter is to extend the residence time of the bioreactor, a plan to expand the bioreactor specification, a new flow control tank and transport it to the outside, and an oxygen-free air diffuser to be used as an aerobic tank in case of an emergency in winter. The improvement plan was suggested. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for the operation plan of small-scale sewage treatment facilities in winter.

소규모 하수처리장의 경우 유입수량의 변동폭이 크고 하수관거 노후화로 인한 불명수 유입 등에 의해 하수처리 운영이 어려운 것으로 보고되고 있다. 특히, 동절기 수온저하로 인한 전반적인 운영문제가 많아 본 연구에서는 산악지역에 위치한 소규모 하수처리시설의 운영현황과 온도에 따른 수질변화를 분석하였다. BOD, COD, SS의 경우 온도에 따라 방류수 수질 농도가 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 COD가 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 한시적으로 동절기 수온 저하 대책을 적용하고자 생물반응조 수위를 0.4m 상승시켰으며, 생물반응조 덮개를 설치하고 운영하였을 때 결과를 비교 분석한 결과 유의미한 개선효과가 발생하였다. 이외 동절기 생물반응조 처리효율 저하에 대한 개선방안을 생물반응조 체류시간 연장하는 방안으로 생물반응조 규격을 확대하는 방안, 유량조정조를 신설하고 외부반송하는 방안, 무산소에 산기장치를 설치하여 동절기 비상시 호기조로 사용하는 개선방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 동절기 소규모 하수처리시설 운영방안에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
