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.

본 논문은 수직 오리피스 이젝터의 혼합유동 및 산소전달 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 목적으로 한다. 실험장치는 전동 모터-펌프, 오리피스 이젝터, 순환 수조, 공기압축기, 고속 카메라 시스템 그리고 제어 및 측정기기로 구성하였다. 측정된 구동유체 및 유입공기의 유량을 이용하여 유량비를 도출하였다. 이적터에서 분출된 혼합유동의 가시화를 통해 정성적 거동을 고찰하였으며, 용존산소 농도를 측정하여 총괄 산소전달계수를 도출하였다. 구동유체의 유량이 일정하고 압축기의 공기압이 높아지면 유량비와 산소전달계수는 증가하며, 압축기의 공기압이 일정하고 구동유체의 유량이 증가하면 유량비는 감소하지만 산소전달계수는 증가하였다. 기포의 크기에 따른 체류시간 및 확산도와 수직 혼합유동의 도달거리는 2 상의 접촉면적과 시간에 크게 영향을 미치기 때문에 산소전달율의 중요한 변수임을 유추할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to find the capability of comparison of overall oxygen transfer coefficient in the membrane coupled high performance reactor (MPHCR) in treating high organic loading wastewater. Effluent quality had been analyzed while the influent organic loading rate was changed from 2 to $7kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}day$. The oxygen transfer coefficients had been investigated using two-phase nozzle for operating variables which were internal circulation flowrate (5~8 L/min), air flow rate (0.0125~0.2 L/min), liquid temperature ($10{\sim}20^{\circ}C$), and pure-oxygen flow rate (0.0125~0.2 L/min). The overall oxygen transfer coefficient was increased with flowrate of internal circulation and air and high temperature. Especially, internal circulation flow rate showed distinct effect on overall oxygen transfer coefficient due to an increase of gas holdup and air-liquid contract area by two-phase nozzle. In the high range of organic loading rate from 4 to $7kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}day$, the removable efficiency of COD was 91%. Conventional activated sludge process usually treat organic loading from 0.32 to $0.64kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}day$ however, the MPHCR can treat 10 to 20 times higher if it would be compared to the conventional activated sludge process. Foaming problem often happened and caused biomass wash out of the reactor, therefore, the foaming should be controlled for the enhanced operation.

The effect of phenol derivatives (guaiacol, vanillin, o-vanillin, eugenol) and catechol derivatives (pyrogallol, resoicinol) to enhance the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, in the aerobic fermentation was studies. Guaiacol, vanillin, o-vanillin, pyrogallol and resorcinol revealed to enchance the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, and eugenol had no such ability. The enhancement of the oxygen transfer ability is probably due to the formation of the charge transfer complex by the derivatives and oxygen molecules.

In this study, in order to apply the air and pure oxygen in the Jet Loop Reactor (JLB) in which the oxygen transfer rate is high, differentiate the operation mode according to each air flowrate and liquid flowrate and investigate the oxygen transfer characteristic, an experiment was carried out. The oxygen concentration with the air flowrate ($Q_g$) and liquid flowrate ($Q_L$) was identical but the oxygen transfer coefficient ($K_L{\cdot}a$) is linear depending on degree of two factors. The width of an increase is small in $0.1min^{-1}$ when the air flowrate is 0.2 L/min with increasing the liquid flowrate. Whereas, the increment was exposed to be very high for $1.5min^{-1}$ when the air flowrate was 5 L/min. In the experiments using the pure oxygen, it was 30 mg/L of oxygen concentration finally and it was 3.5 times than using the air. But the time reached the saturated concentration was similar to using the air, and $K_L{\cdot}a$ was similar to using the air too. Analysis between two independent variable and oxygen transfer of the correlation is the same model like $K_L{\cdot}a={0.0161Q_L}^{1.5371}{Q_g}^{0.5433}$ using with coefficient non linear regression analysis. It was resulted that the liquid flowrate were approximately three times than air flowrate on effect to oxygen transfer rate.

본 논문은 수직 오리피스 노즐의 유동 및 물질전달 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 목적으로 한다. 구동유체 및 부유체의 유량, 용존산소 농도 그리고 소비 전력을 측정하였으며, 고속 카메라를 이용한 직접 촬영 기법으로 수직 혼합유동의 가시화 이미지를 획득하였다. 측정자료를 이용하여 질량비, 총괄 산소전달 계수 그리고 물질전달 성능계수를 도출하였다. 구동압력이 증가하면 질량비는 약간 감소하는 반면에, 산소전달 계수와 소비전력은 증가하였다. 구동압력이 증가하고 질량비가 작아지면, 기포의 미세화가 촉진되고 확산도가 증대되기 때문에 산소 전달율이 증가하였다.

The ejector type microbubble generator, which is the method to supply air to water by using cavitation in the nozzle, does not require any air supplier so it is an effective and economical. Also, the distribution of the size of bubbles is diverse. Especially, the size of bubbles is smaller than the bubbles from a conventional air diffuser and bigger than the bubbles from a pressurized dissolution type microbubble generator so it could be applied to the aeration tank for wastewater treatment. However, the performance of the ejector type microbubble generator was affected by hydraulic pressure and MLSS(Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid) concentration so many factors should be considered to apply the generator to aeration tank. Therefore, this study was performed to verify effects of hydraulic pressure and MLSS concentration on oxygen transfer of the ejector type microbubble generator. In the tests, the quantity of sucked air in the nozzle, dissolved oxygen(DO) concentration, oxygen uptake rate(OUR), oxygen transfer coefficient were measured and calculated by using experimental results. In case of the MLSS, the experiments were performed in the condition of MLSS concentration of 0, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000 mg/L. The hydraulic pressure was considered up to $2.0mH_2O$. In the results of experiments, oxygen transfer coefficient was decreased with the increase of MLSS concentration and hydraulic pressure due to the increased viscosity and density of wastewater and decreased air flow rate. Also, by using statistical analysis, when the ejector type microbubble generator was used to supply air to wasterwater, the model equation of DO concentration was suggested to predict DO concentration in wastewater.

Oxygen is a key substrate in animal cell metabolism and its consumption is thus a parameter of great interest for monitoring and control in animal cell culture bioreactor. The use of a gas-permeable membrane offered the possibility to provide the required quantity of oxygen into the culture. while avoiding problems of foaming or shear damage generally linked to sparging. For determining the optimum DO control strategy of this gas-permeable membrane aeration bioreactor, the oxygen transfer rate coefficient was measured with varying $N_2$ ratio in inlet air. The results showed that an increasing mass flow rate of nitrogen reduced the $K_La$ value. and 5% nitrogen in air did not result in any oxygen limitation.
