Abstract
Constructed wetlands are well known as highly efficient system to treat wastewater from different sources. Among the constructed wetlands, upflow types of constructed wetlands have become a common selection of wastewater during the last decade. We conducted a pilot scale study at peen house on treating potential of nutrients by upflow vegetated filter(UVF) pilot wetland which was combined with hydrodynamic separator and used the cattail plant(Typha angustifolia), and operated with artificial nutrients influent. This study evaluate the performances of upflow vegetated fille, in removal of nutrients. The objectives of this study were two-fold: (i) to evaluate the nutrients removal performance of pilot-scale upflow vegetated filter, filled with a mixture of perlite and soil media and planted with cattails and (ii) to design of scale-up upflow vegetated filter using Froude number. Results indicated that, under the condition of the ranges of hydraulic surface load rate were $22.7{\pm}9.6\;m^3/m^2/day$, the average removal of $COD_{Mn}$, and TN, TP were 57.5%, 40.0% and 41.5%, respectively. Computational fluid dynamics, FLUENT 6.0 program was used to predict the distribution of velocity in UVF and hydrodynamic separator. Full scale UVF was designed using the Froude number scale-up method that was assumed geomertic similarity between model and prototype. Result shows that the UVF with 3 m diameter has capacity of design sewage flowrate 75 $m^3/day$.
인공습지는 다양한 유형의 하수, 폐수에 대해 높은 제거효율을 가진 것으로 알려져 있다. 상향류식 인공습지는 10여년 전부터 많이 이용되는 이공습지 공법중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 인공습지의 하나인 부들(cattail)을 perlite에 식재한 상향류식 수초여과지(upflow vegetated filter UVF)장치와 수리동역학적 입자물질 전처리장치(hydrodynamic separator, HDS)를 조합한 장치를 제작하여 온실에 설치하였고, 인공하수에 대한 영양염류제거능을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 (i) 파일겆 규모의 UVF장치의 영양염류 처리능을 분석함에 있으며 (ii) Froude 수에 의한 확대설계시 직경에 대한 처리용량을 도출함에 있다 인공하수의 처리능을 분석한 결과 평균 수면적부하율 $22.7{\pm}9.6\;m^3/m^2/day$ 범위의 운전조건에서 인공하수의 처리능을 분석한 결과 평균 제거효율은 $COD_{Mn}$, TN, TP에 대해 각각 57.5%, 40.0%. 41.5%를 나타내었다. Froude수를 이용한 무차원 상사법칙을 이용하여 UVF장치의 실규모 설계용량을 산정한 결과 UVF의 직경을 3 m로 설계할 경우 75 $m^3/day$ 범위까지 처리가 가능한 것으로 산정되었다.
