Abstract

The present invention relates to a sewage treatment system using granules, and more particularly, the sewage treatment system includes: an anoxic tank which has a sewage inlet port into which sewage is introduced; an anaerobic tank which is connected to the anoxic tank; intermittent aeration tanks which are connected to the anaerobic tank, have two or more separately divided spaces, and have, in the spaces, granules and aeration devices that alternately operate; and a settling tank which is connected to the intermittent aeration tanks, and the sewage treatment system is operated by a method including: a first step of introducing sewage; a second step of allowing the introduced sewage to pass through the anoxic tank and to be supplied with carbon; a third step of allowing the sewage passing through the anoxic tank to be introduced into the anaerobic tank; a fourth step of allowing the sewage passing through the anaerobic tank to be introduced into a first intermittent aeration tank and a second intermittent aeration tank which include the aeration devices and the granules including nitrogen treatment microorganisms; a fifth step of allowing the first intermittent aeration tank to be in an aeration state and the second intermittent aeration tank to be in a non-aeration state; and a sixth step of allowing the first intermittent aeration tank to be in the non-aeration state and the second intermittent aeration tank to be in the aeration state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sewage treatment system comprising:
an anoxic tank which has a sewage inlet port into which sewage is introduced;
an anaerobic tank which is connected to the anoxic tank;
first and second intermittent aeration tanks which are connected to the anaerobic tank, define two or more separately divided spaces, and have, in the spaces, granules and aeration devices that alternately operate; and
a settling tank which is connected to the intermittent aeration tanks.

2. The sewage treatment system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second intermittent aeration tanks are connected in series.

3. The sewage treatment system of claim 2 , wherein the second intermittent aeration tank and the anoxic tank are connected through a conveying pipe for conveying a liquid.

4. The sewage treatment system of claim 1 , wherein air to be supplied to the aeration tank has a temperature of 30° C. or higher.

5. The sewage treatment system of claim 4 , wherein the air to be supplied to the aeration tank is heated while passing through a heat exchanger.

6. A method of operating a sewage treatment system, the method comprising:
a first step of introducing sewage;
a second step of allowing the introduced sewage to pass through an anoxic tank and to be supplied with carbon;
a third step of allowing the sewage passing through the anoxic tank to be introduced into an anaerobic tank;
a fourth step of allowing the sewage passing through the anaerobic tank to be introduced into a first intermittent aeration tank and a second intermittent aeration tank which include aeration devices and granules including nitrogen treatment microorganisms;
a fifth step of allowing the first intermittent aeration tank to be in an aeration state and the second intermittent aeration tank to be in a non-aeration state; and
a sixth step of allowing the first intermittent aeration tank to be in the non-aeration state and the second intermittent aeration tank to be in the aeration state.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the sewage in the anoxic tank is not discharged to the anaerobic tank in the fifth step, and the sewage in the anoxic tank is discharged to the anaerobic tank in the sixth step.

8. The method of claim 6 , comprising:
a seventh step of allowing the sewage in the second intermittent aeration tank to be introduced into a settling tank when the first intermittent aeration tank is in the aeration state and the second intermittent aeration tank is in the non-aeration state.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein a temperature of the introduced sewage is 13° C. or lower, and total nitrogen concentration of final treated water is 10 mg/L or less when total nitrogen concentration is 50 mg/L or less.
