초록

와류에 의해 물과 산소의 충돌을 반복적으로 일으켜 산소를 용존시키는 Multistage Vortex Aerator를 하천 정화에 적용하였다. 본 연구의 대상 현장인 괴정천은 부산시 사하구 도심을 흘러 낙동강 하구로 연결되는데, 우천 시에는 비점 오염물질이 유입되고 평시에도 하수 슬러지가 일부 유입되어 퇴적을 반복함에 따라 하천수의 용존산소 농도가 혐기성 상태에 가까웠다. 산소농도가 최소 0.1 ppm인 하천수를 흡입하여 22 ppm 이상으로 산소를 용존시켜 분당 1 m3을 순환시켰을 때, 하천에 나타나는 수질과 악취 변화를 2개월간 모니터링하였다. 운영 결과, 용존산소가 하천 전체적으로 약간 나쁨(4)~나쁨(5)에서, 좋음(1b)~보통(3) 등급으로 개선되었고, 총인 농도는 평균 76 % 감소되었다. 복합악취는, 하천 전체가 혐기화된 측정일에 최대 84.5 % 저감을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The target site, Goejeongcheon flows through downtown of Saha-gu, Busan and it connects to the Nakdong-gang estuary. But non-point pollutants and sewage sludge are partially flowing into the stream and deposited. As a result, dissolved oxygen concentrations of the stream were observed close to the anaerobic condition. Multistage Vortex Aerator was applied for restoring this urban stream. It dissolves oxygen by repeatedly causing collisions between water and oxygen by vortex flow. The changes in water quality and odor were monitored for 2 months while circulating 1 m3/min of water with 22 ppm dissolved oxygen. As a result of the operation, the dissolved oxygen was improved from slightly Bad (4)~Bad (5) to Good (1b)~Normal (3) grade, and the total phosphorus concentration was decreased by 76 % on average. In the case of complex odor, a maximum reduction of 84.5 % was observed on the day the entire river was anaerobic. Through this study, we evaluated the feasibility of applying pure oxygen and Vortex Aerator for the the stream restoration. It is expected that the results of this study can be used for full-scale design.
