초록
본 연구의 목적은 대형호소를 대상으로 밀도류확산장치(DCG)의 적용에 따라 DCG장치의 운전조건과 성층파괴 여부, 수질개선, 조류발생 억제 등에 대한 효과 연구이며, 이 때 생태독성을 최소화하는 조건에서, 밀도류 발생장치(DCG)의 최적의 운전변수를 도출하기 위해 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 조사기간 중 '11년 9월, '11년 10월, '12년 5월에 성층현상이 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 이때에 수온약층을 형성하는 수심은 평균 $5{\pm}2$ m로 나타나 DCG 가동을 위한 토출구의 위치는 표층으로 부터 약 5 m 아래로 결정하였다. 물순환시 저서생물의 악영향을 최소화하고, 물 혼합의 효과를 얻기 위해 생태독성평가와 DCG 운전특성 유동해석에 의하여 표층수와 심층수 혼합비를 3:1로 설계하였다. DCG의 적합한 가동시간 선정하기 위해 DCG 가동시간을 각각 12 hr, 24 hr, 36 hr, 48 hr별로 가동하였으며, 36 hr 가동시 수온약층이 형성되지 않았다. 또한, 전력소모량을 산정하였을 때, 36 hr 가동후 2일간 정지하여 3일째 재가동하는 것이 효과적이라고 판단되었다. 위의 조건에서 DCG 가동시 DO, 수온의 분석결과, 기존에 뚜렷하게 나타난 성층현상이 약하게 나타났으며, COD, chlorophyll-a의 수질분석 결과, 가동 전보다 비교적 낮은 수치를 나타내어, DCG 가동으로 인한 밀도류 발생에 의한 물의 순환으로 수체가 안정적인 조건으로 유지되고 있다고 판단된다.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of applying density current generator (hereafter referred to as DCG to large lakes on the operating conditions of DCG, de-stratification, water quality improvement and inhibition of algae occurrence. As a result of a survey conducted to derive the optimum operating parameters of DCG in a condition to minimize eco-toxicity, the following conclusions were obtained. During the survey period, a marked stratification appeared in September to October 2011 and May 2012. At this time, the average depth of water to form thermocline was found to be $5{\pm}2$ m, so the location of discharge port for the operation of DCG was determined to be about 5 m below from the surface. To minimize the adverse effects of benthos and obtain the effect of water mixture at the time of water circulation, the mixing ratio of surface water and deep water was designed to be 3:1 by means of ecotoxicological assessment on the DCG operating characteristics. To select the appropriate operating hours for DCG, DCG was operated by 12 hr, 24 hr, 36 hr and 48 hr. As its result, the formation of thermocline did not occur during the operation of 36 hr. Also, It was effected that start reoperating from 3rd day after stop 2days under the condition of operated during 36 hr with calculated power consumption. Under the above conditions, the results of DO and water temperature analysis during the operation of DCG showed that the stratification, which was distinct previously, appeared to be weak, and relatively lower levels than those before operation were found as a result of water quality analysis on COD and chlorophyll-a, which leads to the conclusion that the water body is maintained at a stable condition due to the circulation of water by the occurrence of density current resulting from the operation of DCG.
