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.

용존산소는 물속에 용해되어 있는 산소량으로 수질의 지표가 된다. 본 논문은 이젝터-폭기 시스템의 용존산소특성에 미치는 염도의 영향에 대한 실험적 연구를 목적으로 한다. 이젝터-폭기 시스템은 모터-펌프, 이젝터, 모터-블로어, 폭기 및 순환수조, 제어판넬 등으로 구성된다. 처리수의 용존산소량은 염도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 산소전달율의 정량적인 변수인 총괄 물질전달계수는 염도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.

본 연구는 환형 노즐 이젝터를 이용하여 수평방향 폭기공정의 혼합유동 및 산소전달 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 목표로 한다. 실험변수는 이젝터 피치와 가압수 유량이며, 측정된 유량과 압력을 이용하여 유량비, 수두비 및 효율을 계산하였다. 이적터에서 분출된 혼합유동의 가시화를 통해 정성적 거동을 고찰하였으며, 용존산소량을 측정하여 총괄 산소전달계수를 도출하였다. 이젝터에서 분출된 혼합유동은 가압수의 운동량과 유입된 공기기포의 미립화에 따라 부력분류 또는 수평분류의 거동을 나타내었다. 기포의 크기에 기인하는 부력과 가압수의 운동량에 지배되는 혼합유동의 도달거리는 가압수와 공기기포의 접촉 면적 및 시간에 크게 영향을 미치기 때문에 산소전달률의 중요한 변수임을 유추할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the treatment efficiency including reaction kinetics and hydraulic characteristics of food processing wastewater by using an ejector-type aeration system (ETAS) in activated sludge process. The oxygen transfer efficiency in ETAS can be changed in accordance with the depth of reactor. However, the optimum air velocity was found less than 1.82 m/hr at a superficial liquid velocity of 634 m/hr. The ETAS process showed higher organic material removal efficiency than that of the existing activated sludge process under hydraulic detention time 6 to 12 hours. This process, which can maintain MLVSS highly, is able to have high organic material removal efficiency at short HRT and deal with variable organic material loading.

$TAO^{TM}$ System is an auto-heated thermophilic aerated digestion process using a proprietary microbe called as a Phototropic Bacteria (PTB). High metabolic activity results in heat generation, which enables to produce a pathogen-free and digested liquid fertilizer at short retention times. TAO$^{TM}$ system has been developed to reduce a manure volume and convert into the liquid fertilizer using swine manure since 1992. About 100 units have been installed and operated in Korean swine farms so far. TAO$^{TM}$ system consists of a reactor vessel and ejector-type aeration pumps and foam removers. The swine slurry manure enters into vessel with PTB and is mixed and aerated. The process is operated at detention times from 2 to 4 days and temperature of 55 to $65^{\circ}C$. Foams are occurred and broken down by foam removers to evaporate water contents. Generally, at least 30% of water content is evaporated, 99% of volatile fatty acids caused an odor are removed and pathogen destruction is excellent with fecal coliform, rotavirus and salmonella below detection limits. The effluent from TAO$^{TM}$ system, called as the "TAO EFFLUX", is screened and has superb properties as a fertilizer. Normally N-P-K contents of screened TAO Efflux are 4.7 g/L, 0.375 g/L and 2.8 g/L respectively. The fertilizer effect of TAO EFFLUX compared to chemical fertilizer has been demonstrated and studied with various crops such as rice, potato, cabbage, pumpkin, green pepper, parsley, cucumber and apple. Generally it has better fertilizer effects and excellent soil fertility improvement effects. Moreover, the TAO EFFLUX is concentrated through membrane technology without fouling problems for a cost saving of long distance transportation and a commercialization (crop nutrient commodity) to a gardening market, for example.
