수산물 가공폐수를 AO$_2$공법에 적용하여 유기물, 질소, 인의 동시제거 가능성을 평가 하였다. 처리도 실험은 도시하수처리장에서 가져온 활성슬러지를 담체에 2주 이상 부착시킨 후 반응조 부피 25%로 충진하여 실험을 행하였다. 유입수 농도는 실험기간 동안 COD : 198 - 1,240 mg/L, TN : 75 - 577.4 mg/L, TP : 2.2 - 53.5 mg/L였다. 운전기간동안 평균 제거효율은 COD : 86.5%(65.7 mg/L), TN : 81.4%(53.1 mg/L), TP : 80.6%(4.07 mg/L)로 나타났다. Anaerobic조와 Aerobic조로 구성된 시스템에 유기물 및 영양염류 부하율이 증가되어도 비교적 안정된 형태의 운전이 가능하였다. 사용된 PU-AC 메디아는 높은 MLSS량을 보유하여 AO$_2$ 시스템 내에서 생물학적 처리율을 높일 수 있었던 것으로 사료된다.
Feasibility of simultaneous removal of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus was evaluated by applying AO$_2$ system to treat wastewater from a seafood processing plant. Treatability test was conducted by incorporating activated sludge from municipal sewage treatment plant with PU-AC media. Inflow concentrations of COD, TN, and TP were 198$sim$1,240 mg/L, 75$sim$577.4 mg/L, and 2.2$sim$53.5 mg/L, respectively. Average removal efficiencies and outflow concentration of COD, TN, and TP were 86.5%, 65.7 mg/L; 81.4%, 53.1 mg/L; and 80.6% 4.07 mg/L, respectively. Stable operation was possible by increasing organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus loading rate to seafood wastewater treatment system composed of anaerobic and aerobic reactors. Used PU-AC media was proved to be biodegradable in this AO$_2$ system by maintaining high biomass concentration in the PU-AC media.
