악취 및 VOC를 함유한 폐가스의 바이오필터 처리: 1. 개선된 바이오필터설계에 의한 압력강하와 미생물 population 분포
Biofilter Treatment of Waste Air Containing Malodor and VOC: 1. Pressure Drop and Microbe-population Distribution of Biofilter with Improved Design

본 연구에서는 개선된 바이오필터설계를 가지는 새로운 바이오필터의 압력강하 및 미생물 population 분포 등을 관찰하고, 같은 유효부피를 갖고 unidirectional flow (UF)를 갖는 전통적 바이오필터의 경우와 비교하였다. 개선된 바이오필터는 운전 초기 또는 정상상태의 장기운전에서 전통적 바이오필터 압력강하의 약 40~80% 이상을 감소시켰다. 미생물 population 분포는 바이오필터 담체인 폐타이어담체와 입상 활성탄의 두 경우 모두 바이오필터 top 단에서 가장 낮았고 바이오필터 밑으로 내려갈수록 미생물 population이 커졌다. 한편 폐타이어담체는 입상활성탄 담체보다 월등히 큰 미생물 population을 나타내는 미생물 콜로니 개체수(CFU counts)를 보였다. 개선된 바이오필터에서 악취가스가 bottom→up으로 공급되는 경우에 악취가스가 top→down으로 공급되는 경우보다 미생물 population 성장이 더욱 컸으며, 입상활성탄 담체보다 폐타이어담체에서 이 현상이 더욱 두드러졌다. 전통적 바이오필터와 개선된 바이오필터시스템 각각의 미생물 population 분포도를 비교하였을 때에, 개선된 바이오필터의 미생물 population은 전통바이오필터보다 입상 활성탄 담체와 폐타이어담체의 경우에 각각 약 15배 및 2.5배 만큼 더 고르게 분포되었다.
In this study, both pressure drop and microbe-population-distribution were observed while running a novel biofilter system with improved design in which the biofilter system is composed of two, upper and lower biofilters with both equal feed-rates of up-flow and down-flow, respectively. Then they were compared with the pressure drop and microbe-population-distribution observed in a conventional biofilter of the same effective volume with unidirectional flow. The pressure drop-value of biofilter system with improved design turned out to be less at the incipient stage of run or steady-state long term operation by more than 40~80% of that of the conventional biofilter. The microbe-populationdistribution was observed to be lower and higher at higher and lower column of biofilter, respectively, for both the conventional biofilter and the biofilter system with improved design. The microbe-media of waste-tire crumb showed much greater CFU counts than GAC. In the biofilter system with improved design, the bottom→up feeding of waste air showed greater microbe-population growth than the top→down feeding for both the microbe-media of waste-tire crumb and GAC. However, it was more prominent for the former than the latter. Comparing the microbe-population-distributions of both of the conventional biofilter and the biofilter system with improved design, the microbe-population of latter was distributed ca. 15 and 2.5 times more evenly for GAC and the media of waste-tire crumb, respectively, than that of former.
