The objective of this study was to investigate the oxygen transfer characteristics of an ejector aeration system. In order to evaluate the oxygen transfer performance of the ejector aeration system, a comparative experiment was conducted on a conventional blower aeration system. The effect of entrained air flow rate and aerating water temperature on the oxygen transfer efficiency was investigated. The dissolved oxygen concentration increased with increasing entrained air flow rate, but decreased with increasing aerating water temperature for two aeration systems. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing entrained air flow rate and with increasing aerating water temperature for both aeration systems. The average mass transfer coefficient for the ejector aeration system was about 20% and 42% higher than that of the blower aeration system within the experimental range of entrained air flow rates and aerating water temperatures.

The main purpose of the aeration units in activated sludge process is to enable micro-organisms to metabolize the constituents of the waste effectively by supplying sufficient oxygen for their respiration. Normally, aeration is achieved by bringing the mixture of waste and sludge into intimate contact with air. The main type of aeration unit is diffused air unit in which air is injected into the liquid in the form of bubbles. The object of these laboratory studies is to compare the performance of three laboratory scale aeration systems at various depths of submergence, aerating water with and without the addition of a surface active agent.

An advanced mobile technology is described for saturating water with oxygen. The MTR(Mass Transfer Reactor) is 2~10 times more effective in dissolving oxygen in water compared to most other systems used in aquaculture, because it can generate extremely small(0.005~0.05mm) bubbles. New fish farming facilities could make use of this technology to build deeper ponds for raising multiple species with optimized conditions for DO(dissolved oxygen), food, light, etc. The proposed technology offers higher DO levels with minimal operating costs. It is easy to use and maintain, with a high reproducibility. Accordingly, the MTR can be industrially applied in the treatment of fish waste and reduction of water consumption during fish farming.

Carbonized rice husk(char from rice husk) can be used to improve soils for planting, seedlings, horiculture, pomiculture and truck gardening. Although it is not a fertilizer in nature, it stimulates the growth of plants. Carbonized rice husk is highly recommended for raising soil/water temperature, keeping moisture and aerating roots of plants. The objective of this study was to develop the effective production method of carbonized rice husks by a non-slagging vertical cyclone combustor. A cyclone combustor w vortex collecor Pocket in addition to central collector pocket was selected and tested. Isothermal tests and mixed firing with LPG and rice husk were performed in order to characterize the system. hut rice husk was used during the isothermal test to find the mass collected of rice husk. It was impossible to ignite rice husk itself over the experimental conditions considered in this experiment. The composition of original and carbonized rice husks was analyzed by the ultimate analysis. With the air flow rate of 20 ㎥/h, LPG flow rate of 0.45 1/min, the required carbonized rice husk could be obtained.

본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 잔자갈을 충전(充塡)한 간접폭기방식(間接曝氣方式) 침지여상(浸漬濾床)의 설계(設計)나 운전에 합리성(合理性)을 부여하기 위해, 폭기조(曝氣槽)에서 침지여상(浸漬濾床)으로의 산소공급(酸素供給) 특성(特性) 및 잔자갈의 입경(粒徑), 순환수(循環水)의 수량부하(水量負荷), $BOD_5$ 용적부하(容積負荷) 변화에 대한 처리효율(處理效率)을 검토하였다. 실험(實驗)은 $20^{\circ}C$를 유지한 침지여상(浸漬濾床)의 하부(下部)에 합성하수(合成下水)를 상향류(上向流)로 연속주입(注入)하였고, 동시(同時)에 포기조에서 충분히 포기된 물을 침지여상(浸漬濾床)에 상향류(上向流)로 순환(循環)시키면서 수행되었다. 실험결과(實驗結果) 가장 적당한 잔자갈의 입경(粒徑)은 11 mm 정도였으며, 설계(設計) 및 운전을 위해서는 잔자갈의 표면적부하(表面的負荷)보다는 침지여상(浸漬濾床)의 용적(容積)을 기준으로 하는 것이 타당하며, 90% 이상의 $BOD_5$ 제거율을 얻기 위해서는 BOD 용적부하율(容積負荷率)을 $1.0kg-BOD_5/m^3{\cdot}d$ 이하로 운전하여야 하며, 이때 순환수(循環水)($DO7.2mg/{\ell}$)의 수량부하(水量負荷)는 $189m^3/m^3{\cdot}d$ 이상으로 유지시켜야 할 것으로 나타났다. 또 본실험(本實驗) 범위내에서 반응속도계수(反應速度係數) $K_1$은 순환수(循環水)의 수량(水量) 부하(負荷) 및 잔자갈의 입경(粒徑)과 밀접한 관계(關係)가 있음을 알았다.

Aerating hydroturbines have recently been proposed as an effective way to mitigate the problem of low dissolved oxygen in the discharge of hydroelectric power plants. The design of such a hydroturbine requires a precise understanding of the dependence of the generated bubble size distribution upon the operating conditions (viz. liquid velocity, air ventilation rate, hydrofoil configuration, etc.) and the consequent rise in dissolved oxygen in the downstream water. The purpose of the current research is to investigate the effect of location of air injection on the resulting bubble size distribution, thus leading to a quantitative analysis of aeration statistics and capabilities for two turbine blade hydrofoil designs. The two blade designs differed in their location of air injection. Extensive sets of experiments were conducted by varying the liquid velocity, aeration rate and the hydrofoil angle of attack, to characterize the resulting bubble size distribution. Using a shadow imaging technique to capture the bubble images in the wake and an in-house developed image analysis algorithm, it was found that the hydrofoil with leading edge ventilation produced smaller size bubbles as compared to the hydrofoil being ventilated at the trailing edge.

에너지 절감형 산기장치의 상용화를 목적으로 국내 J사의 인장강도 $400kg_f/cm^2$ 이상, 두께가 0.5 mm의 폴리 우레탄 시트를 확보하고 고무 시트의 천공에 가장 널리 이용되는 방식인 needle을 이용한 천공방법을 택하여 기공의 크기가 $100{\mu}m$ 정도의 판형 멤브레인 산기장치를 제작하였다. 판형 산기 모듈 제작 후 실험실 및 파일롯 규모의 테스트 결과, 수조 450 L, 수온 $20^{\circ}C$, 공기량 40 L/min인 실험실 테스트에서 3분 내에 DO가 5 mg/L을 넘었고, 8분 내에 DO가 포화치에 가까운 8 mg/L 이상이 됨을 알 수 있었다. 이때의 $K_{La(15)}$는 $16.34hr^{-1}$, 표준산소전달효율은 54.7%, 표준폭기효율는 7.88 kg/kwh로 상당히 높은 효율의 실험결과를 보였다. 수조 2 $m^3$, 수온 $19^{\circ}C$, 공기량 30 L/min인 파이롯 규모의 테스트에서는 8분 내에 DO 농도가 5 mg/L를 넘었고, 이때의 $K_{La(15)}$는 $5.8hr^{-1}$, 표준산소전달효율은 42.1%, 표준폭기효율는 6.41 kg/kwh로 기존 산기관의 2~2.5배 높은 효율의 실험결과를 보였다. 특히 단위 동력당 산소전달률이 높아 경제성이 높음을 나타내었다. 기존 산기관의 적용에서 청수에서의 산소전달효율이 실제 폐수에서의 산소전달률의 차이로 인한 문제가 빈발하여 실제 $40^{\circ}C$ 축산폐수에서 테스트한 결과 $OTE_f$는 22.1% $OTE_{pw40}$이 39.6%로 매우 높은 효율을 보였다.
