This research was conducted for dewatered sludge cake of industrial wastewater treatment, i.e., as the object of inorganic sludge discharged especially in iron & steel manufacturing shop which used Air drying system to reduce water content. That drying system's single-type cyclone separator was confirmed to have significantly lower separation efficiency on the conditions 20μm and below of particular size through computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis. However, we found out the primarily advanced value of separation efficiency on dual-type directly connected. Regarding separation efficiency on size of 10μm, the efficiency of a single-type was presented at 51.91%. On the other side, the efficiency of the dual-type was 97.88%. This advanced effect of the dual cyclone separator was checked at a demo facility of air drying equipment designed by 340m3/min of airflow on site.

In this study, two types of cyclone separators containing a structure of prevention underflow and a cyclone separator without the structure were analyzed by computational fluid technique. The pressure loss was increased by increasing the inlet velocity from 8m/s to 28m/s, and the velocity and pressure were compared through five cross sections in the vortex finder. Also, the velocity and the pressure contour in the central section were compared. It can be seen that the performance reduction of the cyclone separator by the prevention structure is related to the distance to the vortex finder inlet rather than the effect of the diameter of the structure.

A centrifugal cyclone dust collecting apparatus includes a hydro cyclone dust collecting apparatus for separating solid or liquid using liquid or suspension as a medium. In this study, the formation mechanism and improvement of air core and inner air layer were confirmed through Particle Image Velocimetry. These results showed that the modified experimental model was designed in the conventional method suitable for the separation of juvenile fish and eggs. The inlet speed of the multi-stage hydrocyclone dust collector, which can increase the inlet velocity and minimize floatage in the turbulence chamber, was increased from 0.15 to 0.30 m/s. As a result, the air core was stably formed, the inner air layer was increased with increasing speed. In addition, the dust collecting efficiency of egg and juvenile fish was 97.8% on average, It can infer that this system confirmed the ability to efficiently collect particles of 40 μm or more.

This study is aimed to design the mechanical gascyclone precipitator with an outstanding collection efficiency as one of ways to reduce exhaust gas of small-scale vessels. It estimated fine particles generated from diesel engines which has become one of the biggest environmental issues currently. Specifically, it quantitatively analyzed the flowing process from the cyclone gas exit; a duct via part to the collecting part of Cylindrical lower using DPIV (Digital Particle Image Velocimetry). Since the gas inlet height part became wider the previous theoretical dimensions, internal fluid characteristics of cyclone where the speed of internal swirl had been slow were investigated by temporary streamline of fine particles at 14-20 ㎛. The results showed that collecting efficiency was three times higher than the conical type utilized previously. In addition, this study supplemented imprecision problems from the previous theoretical equation and CFD interpretation with an experimental method. It also provided a basic data to design the cyclone precipitator by size of diesel engines for vessels.

The main object of this study was to investigate the collection characteristics of wet-type cyclone with wall cavity. The experiment was executed to analyze the characteristics of pressure drop and collection efficiency for the present system with the experimental parameters such as water spray, water spray type, inlet velocity etc. In results, for the present system of wet-type, the pressure drop represented 35 mmH2O, while in dry-type 33 mmH2O showing lower 6% at vin=21 m/s. In case of vin=21 m/s and water spray 200 mL/min, the collection efficiency of the present system became significantly higher as 96.8% comparing to that of the conventional wet-type scrubber. Additionally, for 200 mL/min, SO2 removal efficiencies decreased with the increment of inlet velocity representing 75.0, 62.5, 50.0%, at vin=6, 9, 12 m/s, respectively.

The performance of inorganic sludge separation system is evaluated. Anaerobic digester effluent sludge is used for feed sludge of this system and hydrocyclone is used for inorganic sludge separation. For phosphorus removal and recovery MgCl2 is pumped into MAP growth tank, a component of inorganic sludge separation system. Using this system inorganic sludge which contained less than 40 % of organic matter can be discharged stably and the maximum amount of separated inorganic sludge is 13.4 % of influent sludge based on dry solid. The amount of phosphorus recovered as MAP(as P) is 16.7 % to influent T-P.

원자력연구소 핫셀의 구조와 오염특성이 조사되었다. SEM 측정결과 핫셀 내부에 부착된 고방사능 분진의 크기는 이었다. 사이클론의 최적 Vortex finder의 길이는 49 mm이고, 모의입자 유입속도는 15m/sec가 적합했다. 이때 의 포집효율은 약 85%였다. 모의 입자 유입속도가 15m/sec보다 빠를 때, 포집효율의 증가율은 크지 않았다. 유입가스의 온도가 증가할 때, 포집효율은 약간 감소했다. Vortex finder의 길이가 증가할수록 사이클론내의 압력강하는 커졌다. Cut size diameter는 Reynolds number의 증가와 함께 감소했다. 측정된 Reynolds number에 근거하면, 사이클론 내부는 난류이고 이 난류는 사이클론 내의 압력강하에 원인이 된다고 사료된다. 는 Re 값의 증가와 함께 감소하고, Re의 값이 커질 때에서 일정한 값에 수렴했다. 즉, 6000-8000의 Re에서 는 약 0.045를 나타냈다.

하이드로사이클론은 다양한 산업 방면의 고·액 분리를 위해 널리 사용되어왔다. 왜냐하면 하이드로사이클론의 적당한 응용으로 폭넓은 범위의 입자에 적용이 가능하기 때문이다. 불순물을 함유한 해수가 펌프나 열교환기로 흘러가면 그것은 해수 냉각시스템의 효율을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 하이드로사이클론을 이용한 해수 냉각시스템에서 불순물을 분리하는 몇가지 방법을 제시했다. 설계의 영향을 미치는 인자로서 고체농도, 사이클론 입구압력, 하부배출구의 직경과 유량에 따른 하이드로사이클론의 분리효율에 대해 연구를 하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 고형물질의 농도가 감소할수록 고·액 분리의 효율이 증가하였다. 2) 사이클론 입구압력이 증가함에 따라 분리효율이 증가하였다. 결과적으로 이 연구에서는 하이드로사이클론을 기계류 냉각시스템의 전처리장치로 사용한다면 엔진시스템에서 예상치 못했던 사고를 방지할 수 있을 것이다.

원자력시설 핫셀 (Hot Cell)내에서 핵종실험 시 발생하는 고방사능 분진(Hot Particulate)의 크기는 0.5300 이고 주 핵종은 UO였다. 핫셀 내의 고방사능 분진을 제거하기 위해 사이클론과 Bag/HEPA필터로 구성된 장치를 고안하였고, 이 장치의 사이클론에 의해 고방사능 분진을 최대로 포집할 수 있는 실험조건을 제시했다. 모의입자의 크기가 클수록 입자의 포집효율은 높았다. 모의 입자의 크기가 5 이상일 때, 입자의 포집효율은 보다 높았다. 모의 입자의 크기가 1.0 보다 작을 때, 포집효율은 보다 작았다. 모의 입자의 유입속도가 12 m/sec보다 클 때, 포집효율은 보다 높았다. 그러나 유입속도가 17 m/sec 보다 클 때 포집효율의 증가율은 크지 않았다. 모의입자의 포집효율은 Vortex Finder의 길이가 7.2 cm이하일 때, 길이의 증가와 함께 높아졌지만 7.2 cm 이상일 때는 낮아지기 시작했다. 그러므로 Vortex Finder의 길이가 7.2 cm 일 때, 최대포집효율을 나타냈다. 사이클론 밑에 보조콘 부착 시 모든 속도 범위에서 약 평균 정도 포집효율이 증가하므로 보조콘 부착효과가 크지 않았다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the operational characteristics of wastewater treatment using Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) with Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) separator in the pilot plant. Pilot plant experiments were conducted using SBR with AGS separator and pollution removal efficiencies were evaluated based on the operational condition and surface properties of AGS. The results of the operation on water quality of the effluent showed that the average concentration of total organic carbon, suspended solids, nitrogen, and phosphorus was 6.89 mg/L, 7.33 mg/L, 7.33 mg/L, and 0.2 mg/L, respectively. All these concentrations complied the effluent standard in Korea. The concentration of mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) fluctuated, but the AGS/MLSS ratio was constant at 86.5±1.3%. Although the AGS/MLSS ratio was constant, sludge volume index improved. These results suggested that the particle discharged fine sludge and increased the AGS praticle size in the AGS. Optical microscopy revealed the presence of dense AGS at the end of the operation, and particles of > 0.6 mm were found. Compared to those of belt-type AGS separator, the required area and power consumption of the hydrocyclone-type AGS separator were reduced by 27.5% and 83.8%, respectively.
