Abstract
The aim of this article is to assess the application characteristics of the site by remediating oil-contaminated area using DSB (Deep-site Biopile) system. In the contaminated area, the soil was composed of penetrable sand and the leaked oil was spread widely (total 7,201 cubic meters) through 2.5 meter deep underground water flow. DSB system was operated for 30 minutes intervals for 24 hours in a day (30 minutes opεration and 30 minutes stop). To check contamination level change in the contaminated area after DSB system was operated, samples were taken. The result from the site shows that BTEX/TPH contamination level was dropped 50% after 30-day operation of DSB system, and that contamination level was dropped below contamination level check standard after 165 days and the remediation was completed. Unlike traditional biological remediation methods DSB system could efficiently process soil and water which were contaminated by high levels of oil compounds.

본 논문은 유류로 오염된 부지를 DSB(Deep-site Biopile) system을 이용하여 정화함으로써 적용 가능한 현장특성을 평가하기 위한 것이다. 오염부지는 유류가 유출되어 깊이 약 2.5 m 부근에 위치하는 지하수의 흐름에 띠라 광범위하게 오염(총 $7,201m^3$) 되어 있었으며, 투수성이 좋은 Sand층으로 구성되어 있다. 부지 내 설치된 배관은 각 지점마다 독립적으로 제어될 수 있도록 하였으며, DSB system의 가동은 24시간을 기준으로 30분 가동/30분 정지되도록 하였다. 오염부지 내 오염원이 저감되는 현황을 파악하기 위하여 DSB system 가동시간에 따른 시료채취 작업을 수행한 결과, DSB system 가동 후 약 30여일 만에 총석유계탄화수소 및 BTEX 오염원이 약 50% 이상 저감되었으며 약 165일이 경과한 후에는 토양오염 확인기준 이하로 저감되어 정화작업이 정상적으로 완료되었다. 이와 같이 본 DSB system은 기존에 적용되어 왔던 생물학적 공법들과는 달리 높은 농도의 유류화합물로 오염되어 있는 토양 및 지하수를 약 6개월의 단기간에 효과적으로 처리할 수 있었으며 정화 system을 지상이 아닌 지중에 설치함으로써 별도의 부지가 확보되지 않은 경우에도 적용할 수 있는 특성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.
