Abstract

The behavior of the biological water treatment process on start-up operation was evaluated in the integrated recirculating aquaculture system consisting of a double drain type rearing tank ($2.5 m^3$), a sedimentation tank, a floating bead filter, a foam separator and a rotating biological contactor. A system was stocked with nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at an initial rearing density of $2\%$ for 2 weeks for acclimated rotating biological contactor. The total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) level increased to $13.6 g/m^3$ on day 4 after adding feed and was decreased to $0.3 g/m^3$ on day 7. The total suspended solid was completely removed during overall experimental period.

Package 형태로 설계하고 제작된 pilot scale 순환여과식 양식시스템에 틸라피아를 $2\%$의 사육밀도로 수용하여 사육조의 각종 수질인자의 변화를 측정하고 회전원판 반응기, floating bead filter, 포말분리기 등의 순환수 처리효율을 검토하여 순환여과식 양식시스템의 개시운전시 발생하는 현상을 고찰하고 순환수 처리장치의 안정화에 소요되는 시간을 측정하고자 하였다. 평균 어체중 392.8g의 나일 틸라피아 173마리를 수용하여 일간 보충수를 사육조 용적의 $10\%$를 사용하여 14일간 어류사육을 실시하여 생물학적 순환수 처리장치인 회전 원판 반응기의 효율 변화를 검토하였다. 암모니아성 질소는 사료 투입 직후부터 증가하여 7일 후 부터는 $0.3gm^3$ 정도의 농도를 보였다. 사료 투입 후 3일이 경과하면서부터 아질산성 질소, 7일 이후부터 질산성 질소가 증가하였으며 12일이 경과하면서 시스템의 아질산성 질소의 농도가 감소하여 회전원판 반응기가 숙성되었다 총 무기질소는 사료 투입 후 10일이 경과하면서 $30g/m^3$ 정도의 일정한 농도를 유지하였다. 사육조 내의 용존 산소농도는 $4{\~}5g/m^3$의 안정된 농도를 유지하였으며 pH와 총알칼리도는 질산화 반응기의 숙성에 따라 어류생장에 영향을 미치지 않는 범위에서 감소하였다 총 부유 고형물과 화학적 산소 요구량은 보충수와 거의 동일한 수질을 유지할 수 있었다. 회전원판 반응기는 암모니아 제거와 동시에 용존산소 폭기 효율도 나타내었고 floating bead filter는 고형물 제거뿐 아니라 질산화에도 뛰어난 효율을 보였으며 회전 원판 반응기는 사료 투입 후 2일, floating bead filter는 4일째부터 암모니아 제거가 시작되었다.
