초록
하수처리장에서의 총 인 저감을 위한 방안으로 완속교반/침전 섬유여과시스템을 적용하여 하수 방류수와 반류수를 제어하는 방법에 대해 비교·검토하였다. 물질수지를 통해 인의 최종 농도를 강화된 기준치인 0.2 mg/L로 낮추기 위해서는 약 92.4 kg T-P/day를 제거해야 되는 것으로 분석되었으며, 이를 위한 총 인 제거효율은 하수 방류수는 96%, 반류수(탈수여액)은 69.2% 이상이 되어야 한다. 총 인 제거 목표치를 달성하기 위한 시스템 운영비용을 검토하였으며, 하수방류수를 처리하는 것보다 유량은 적으나 고농도의 인을 함유한 반류수를 처리하는 것이 약품비용은 약 1/2.4, 전력비용은 약 1/120 정도로 절감되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 반류수 처리를 위해 개발시스템인 완속교반/침전 섬유여과 시스템과 일반적인 응집침전시스템을 적용하는 경우에 대한 경제성을 검토하였으며, 완속교반/침전 섬유여과시스템이 일반적인 응집침전시스템에 비해 설치면적이 약 1/7로 작고 약품소요량 및 전력비를 포함한 연간운전비용은 약 1/1.7소요되어 개발시스템이 보다 경제성이 있는 것으로 평가되었다.
As a method to reduce the total phosphorus in sewage treatment plant, we applied the integral type slow mixing/sedimentation fiber filtration system to compare the control methods for the sewage effluent and the reject water. It was analyzed that about 92.4 kg T-P/day should be removed in order to satisfy the final concentration of phosphorus of 0.2 mg T-P/L, which is reinforced effluent standard. Therefore the total phosphorus removal efficiency should be 96% for sewage effluent and 69.2% for reject water (dehydrated filtrate) respectively. The system operation cost to achieve the target of total phosphorus removal efficiency was assessed. It has been found that the treatment cost of the reject water containing high concentration of phosphorus with a low flow rate is reduced to about 1/2.4 of the coagulant cost and about 1/120 of the electricity cost, compared to that of the sewage effluent treatment. Also the economics of the integral type slow mixing/sedimentation fiber filtration system and the general coagulation and sedimentation system were compared. It was evaluated that the development system was more economical because the installation area of the integral type slow mixing/sedimentation fiber filtration system was about 1/7 smaller than that of the general coagulation and sedimentation system, and the annual operation cost including the required amount of coagulant and electricity cost of the development system was lowered about 1/1.7 than that of the general system.
