Abstract

The rotating biological contactor (RBC) was tested for treatment of aquacultural water in a pilot-scale recirculating aquaculture system. Performance of RBC on the treatment of nitrogen source such as total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand (CODcr.) was evaluated. A system was stocked with nile tilapia at an initial rearing densities of $5\%$ and $7\%$ over 30 days. As increasing rearing density from $5\%$ to $7\%$, the TAN removal rates was increased from $39.4 g/m^3{\cdot}day$ to $86.0 g/m^3{\cdot}day$. But TAN removal efficiency was decreased from $24.5\%$ to $16.0\%$. The removal rate of $COD_Cr$ was higher than TAN. The RBC as an aerator was also evaluated for increasing dissolved oxygen concentration. For $5\%$ and $7\%$ of rearing density, the average aeration rate were $280 g/m^3{\cdot}day$ and $255 g/m^3{\cdot}day$, respectively.

사육조 용적 2.5m^3인 pilot-scale 순환여과식 양어장에 나일 틸라피아를 $5\%$와 $7\%$의 사육밀도로 사육하면서 회전원판 반응기의 암모니아성 질소, 아질산성 질소 및 질산성 질소와 같은 무기질소와 유기물 등과 같은 오염물의 처리 능력을 점검하고자 하였으며 회전원판 반응기의 산소 전달 효율에 대해서도 고찰하였다. 총 암모니아성 질소의 제거속도는 사육밀도 $5\%$의 경우 $30\~80 g/m^3$$\cdot$day의 범위에서 변화하여 $39.4g/m^3{\cdot}day$ 정도의 평균 제거속도를 나타내었다. 사육밀도 $7\%$에서는 15일 이전에는 $30\~80g/m^3{\cdot}day$의 범위로 사육밀도 $5\%$와 유사하였으나 그 이후에는 제거속도가 $80\~170g/m^3{\cdot}day$의 범위로 크게 상승하여 평균 제거속도가 $86.0g/m^3{\cdot}day$ 정도로 나타났다. 회전원판 반응기의 평균 총 암모니아성 질소 제거율은 사육밀도 $5\%$의 경우 $24.5\%$였으며 사육밀도 $7\%$의 경우 $16.0\%$로 나타나 $5\%$의 사육밀도에서 더 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. 아질산성 질소의 평균 제거속도와 평균 제거율은 사육밀도 $5\%$는 $14.6g/m^3{\cdot}day$와 $8.1\%$ , 사육밀도 $7\%$는 $8.1g/m^3{\cdot}day$와 $10.1\%$로 나타났으며 질산성 질소의 평균 제거속도와 평균 제거끌은 사육밀도 $5\%$는 $-56.6g/m^3{\cdot}day$와 $-0.74\%$,사육밀도 $7\%$는 $-142.6g/m^3{\cdot}day$와 $-0.63\%$로 나타났다. CODcr,의 제거속도는 사육밀도 $5\%$에서는 평균 1,700g/m^3$\cdot$day, 사육밀도 $7\%$에서는 평균 $4,000g/m^3{\cdot}day$의 값을 나타내어 총 암모니아성 질소의 제거 속도에 비해 매우 높은 값을 나타내었으며 평균 $COD_Cr$, 제거율은 각각 14.5, $29.1\%$이었다. 회전원판 반웅기는 질산화와 유기물 제거에 소요되는 용존산소를 자체적으로 수급할 뿐 아니라 순환수에 용존산소를 더 공급하는 폭기시설의 역할을 동시에 수행할 수 있었으며 사육밀도 $5\%$에서의 평균 폭기 속도는 $280g/m^{3}{\cdot}day$, 사육밀도 $7\%$에서는 $255g/m^3{\cdot}day$였다.
