초록
재생 원료인 바이오매스를 이용한 에너지 생산에 있어서 경제성은 가장 중요한 인자 중 하나이다. 이러한 관점에서 슬러지 혐기소화에 의해 생산되는 바이오가스는 다른 바이오매스에 비해 매우 저렴하며 처분 비용 절감으로 얻는 이익이 부가적으로 발생하기 때문에 경제성이 매우 높다. 슬러지 혐기소화에서 기질의 가수분해 속도는 전체 소화 성능을 결정짓는 인자이며 혐기소화 속도를 향상시키기 위한 슬러지 전처리 기술이 많이 개발되었다. 슬러지 전처리는 생물학적, 열 가수분해, 초음파, 기계적 방법 등 다양한 기술이 실제 시설에 적용되었다. 전처리는 슬러지 가용화를 촉진하고 고형물을 감소시키면서 바이오가스 생산을 늘리는 등 혐기소화 효율을 향상시켰다. 본문에서는 전처리 방법의 기술적 특성을 소개하고 각 전처리 방법의 에너지 수지와 경제성을 비교하여 적절한 전처리 기술을 선정하기 위한 기준을 마련하고자 하였다. 조사 결과 고온 혐기소화와 열 가수분해가 가장 경제성이 높고 다음으로 Cell ruptureTM, OpenCELTM, MicroSludgeTM, 초음파의 순서로 평가되었다. 경제성 평가에 있어서 슬러지의 최종 처분 비용이 가장 큰 요소가 되며 따라서 최종 처분 슬러지의 수분 함량이 경제성 평가에 결정적인 역할을 하였다.
Economic feasibility is one of the most important factors in energy production from regenerative biomass. From the aspect, biogas from anaerobic digestion of wastewater sludge is regarded as the most economical because of its cheap substrate and additional income from the disposal of waste sludge. Sludge hydrolysis has been regarded as the rate limiting step of anaerobic digestion and many sludge pre-treatment technologies have been developed to accelerate anaerobic sludge digestion for enhanced biogas production. Various sludge pre-treatment technologies including biological, thermo hydrolysis, ultrasonic, and mechanical methods have been applied to full-scale systems. Sludge pre-treatment increased the efficiency of anaerobic digestion by enhancing hydrolysis, reducing residual soilds, and increasing biogas production. This paper introduces the characteristics of various sludge pre-treatment technologies and the energy balance and economic feasibility of each technology were compared to prepare a guideline for the selection of feasible pre-treatment technology. It was estimated that thermophilic digestion and thermal hydrolysis were most economical technology followed by Cell ruptureTM, OpenCELTM, MicroSludgeTM, and ultrasound. The cost for waste sludge disposal shares the biggest portion in the economic analysis, therefore, water content of the waste sludge was the most important factor to be controlled.
