Fixed vs. Moving Bed Systems: Basin Geometry
Aeration basins can have length to width (L:W) ratios varying from 1:1 (square) to over 30:1 (plug flow). The L:W ratio of an aeration basin directly impacts both the physical installation and biological performance of a submerged fixed-film system. Physical Installation Moving bed biomass carriers are free to move about the aeration basin. The aeration system provides energy to keep the ...

Columbus, Texas - Case Study
The Columbus WWTP was receiving an overload of grease from restaurants. Some of the grease was traveling only 150 yards before discharging directly into the WWTP. Because of the grease received at the plant, there was little settling occurring in the 30-minute settling tanks, despite personnel maintaining a low mixed liquor in the aeration basin. The plant was hauling off up to seven loads of ...

Improving total nitrogen removal in aeration basin retrofitted with entrapped biomass
This study presented a method to upgrade existing aeration tanks to remove total nitrogen (TN). Bioplates carrying entrapped biomass were installed in an aeration basin to create anoxic/anaerobic zones where denitrification can proceed. In a reactor that coupled bioplates containing entrapped biomass (equivalent to as high as 7,500 mg/L of biomass) and an activated sludge suspension (at mixed ...

Fixed vs. Moving Bed Systems: Media Retention and Headloss
Submerged fixed-film media is utilized within aeration basins to optimize biological treatment and increase capacity. Therefore, proper design and installation of the equipment used to keep the media in the aeration basin and prevent it from passing downstream is critical to system function. Physical Restraint of Submerged Media Moving bed systems typically use submerged stainless steel ...

My diffuser goes up to eleven, actually twelve
Abstract Fine pore membrane diffusers arc used extensively worldwide for aeration of activated sludge basins. Aeration can account for as much as 60% of a plant's energy usage (Rosso, et al. 2005). Pore fouling and membrane material degradation can reduce energy efficiency of fine pore membrane diffusers to 50% of the original efficiency after just a few years of operation. Tins work ...

A pilot study on suspended activated sludge process augmented with immobilized biomass for simultaneous nitrification and denitrification
Concurrent nitrification and denitrification (CND) are natural phenomena in the soil environment that can be applied in wastewater treatment for enhanced total nitrogen removal. However, significant renovation is necessary for existing plants to equip them for nutrient removal. At a domestic wastewater treatment plant, we performed a pilot test by installing bioplates with entrapped biomass in ...

Simple Aeration Header Cleaning System Allows A Food Processing Facility Get Back On Track
On the afternoon of May 19, 2011, KLa Systems was contracted by one of their customers located in Virginia. They stated that their aeration basin was running at nearly 0 mg/l dissolved oxygen (DO) residual with both blowers running at 100% capacity. Based on the conversation it was determined that a KLa field service technician was needed on site immediately. The following morning KLa personnel ...

Coldwater, Michigan - AccuFAS - Biological Treatment installations applications - Case Study
Application The wastewater treatment facility in Coldwater received tighter seasonal ammonia limits of 2 mg/L from May to November. Compounding this challenge, groundwater levels around the plant limited facility expansion and upstream industries caused organic shock. AccuFAS was selected as a retrofit solution for the existing solids contact aeration basins. The plant continues to consistently ...

Activated sludge wastewater treatment plants optimisation to face pollution overloads during grape harvest periods
ABSTRACTThe principal objective of our study was to optimise a municipal activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to face high organic flows due to viticulture effluents inputs. Treatment file optimization consisted in testing different treatment lines, changing the number and volume of biological basins and clarifiers, with or without a buffer basin upstream, with a view to achieving a ...

Ceramic Tube Diffuser EKR - Dirnau (Landshut) Purification Plant - Case Study
In 2019, ENVICON has won the tender for a retrofit of the ceramic tube diffusers in the Dirnau (Landshut) purification plant. As well as providing the diffusers, ENVICON also carried out the project coordination, removal, installation and commissioning as well as the disposal of the old diffusers. The existing plastic-bonded ceramic tubes were replaced. Due to the design of our diffusers, some ...

Thermal Mass Flow Meters Improve Efficiency in Wastewater Treatment Plants
Every municipality throughout the country has a wastewater treatment plant to safely treat water that enters back into our environment. This doesn’t mean they are immune to problems. One of the biggest problems for US wastewater treatment plants is the aging infrastructure with an estimated 180 billion dollars needed to repair many wastewater plants. A close second is the energy needed to ...
