BACKGROUND ART Anaerobic digestion is an anaerobic digestion method that treats highly concentrated organic wastewater in the form of slurry such as organic sludge, human waste, food wastewater, etc. in the presence of anaerobic microorganisms. It is also called, and is a method that has been practiced since ancient times. In this method, an organic substance is converted into methane gas in an anaerobic tank by anaerobic microorganisms through the steps of liquefaction, molecular weight reduction, organic acid production, and methane production. In the single-phase methane fermentation, the acid-producing phase and the methanogenic phase occur in parallel in a single phase. It is divided into two tanks, a fermentation tank and a desorbed liquid separation tank, as in the conventional anaerobic treatment of sewage sludge. Even in the case of two-stage treatment, if the acid production phase and the methane production phase occur in parallel in each tank, they are included in the one-phase treatment.

As a method for reducing the volume of sludge produced by anaerobic treatment, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-224100 discloses that anaerobic digested sludge is heated at 100 to 180 ° C.
There is described a method for treating organic sludge in which the heat-treated sludge is returned to the anaerobic digestion tank. However, although the sludge volume can be reduced by such a conventional method, the solubilization conditions are severe at a high temperature, and thus a biodegradable organic substance is generated to increase the chromaticity and COD of the treatment liquid. And the quality of treated water deteriorates,
In addition, there is a problem that a device having high heat resistance and pressure resistance is required, energy consumption is large, and cost is high.

The anaerobic treatment step is a step of methane-fermenting an organic waste liquid in the presence of sludge containing anaerobic microorganisms in an anaerobic treatment tank, and an acid-producing phase and a methanogenic phase occur in a single phase. This is a one-phase methane fermentation process, and includes a case where a fermentation tank and a desorbed liquid separation tank are separated and a two-stage treatment is performed in which an acid generation phase and a methane generation phase are performed. Therefore, as sludge containing anaerobic microorganisms, sludge containing acid-producing bacteria and methanogenic bacteria is used. In this process, the organic substance is converted into methane gas in the anaerobic treatment tank by the steps of liquefaction → low molecular weight → organic acid generation → methane generation by the anaerobic microorganism.

The methane fermentation conditions can be any temperature condition in which a mesophilic methanogen having an optimum temperature near 35 ° C. and a high temperature methanogen having an optimum temperature near 55 ° C. grow. Since the mesophilic methanogen has a slow growth rate and has a long residence time (SRT), it can be treated at a relatively low temperature, which simplifies the equipment for heating and heat retention. On the other hand, in the case of high-temperature methanogens, heating and heat-retaining equipment is required, but since the growth rate is high, the residence time is short and treatment can be performed in a short time.

A part of the liquid containing sludge or the concentrated sludge in the anaerobic treatment tank is easily biodegradable by ozone treatment or high-pressure pulse discharge treatment in a reformer. In the anaerobic treatment process, the bacterial cells increase due to the growth of microorganisms in the sludge, but even if the living bacterial cells are concentrated and returned to the anaerobic treatment tank, there is a limit to the volume reduction by digestion.

However, by performing reforming by ozone treatment or high-pressure pulse discharge treatment in the reforming device, the cells in the sludge are killed and decomposed together with other organic substances to form low-molecular organic substances and some inorganic substances. However, it is easily biodegradable. By circulating such modified sludge in the anaerobic treatment tank, it is used as a substrate for anaerobic microorganisms and decomposed. This reduces the volume of sludge and reduces the amount of sludge discharged as excess sludge.

Even if all sludge discharged as excess sludge from the anaerobic treatment step is reformed and circulated, the sludge grows by assimilating this and the sludge in the anaerobic treatment tank increases, Some sludge must be discharged as excess sludge, and discharged sludge cannot approach zero. Therefore, if you extract more sludge than the amount of excess sludge generated so that the amount of excess sludge becomes zero, and modify and circulate this sludge, the amount of excess sludge and the amount of grown sludge balance, The increase in the amount of hanging sludge approaches zero. Even in this case, it is desirable to discharge the minimum digested sludge in order to avoid the accumulation of mineralized sludge.

According to the anaerobic treatment method and apparatus of the present invention, the sludge produced in the anaerobic treatment step in the anaerobic treatment tank is reformed by ozone treatment or high-pressure pulse discharge treatment to perform anaerobic treatment. It is possible to reduce the volume of sludge by suppressing deterioration of treated water quality such as increase in chromaticity and COD. In addition, the energy consumption can be reduced as compared with the conventional heat treatment, and it is not necessary to use a device having high heat resistance and pressure resistance, and therefore the treatment can be performed at low cost.
