Wastewater Treatment Basics
• Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
» Depletes oxygen
» Relatively Easy to Remove
• Nutrients
» Nitrogen and Phosphorus
» More difficult to remove
» Promote aquatic plant growth, resulting in
Hypoxia = Low dissolved oxygen caused
by decaying aquatic plant life
3
Technologies Available
Biological
• Activated Sludge
• Removal of BOD, TSS,
Nitrogen & Phosphorus
4
Activated Sludge –what is this stuff?
Culture of microorganisms mixed with
wastewater in an aerobic/anoxic/anaerobic
environment for the removal of organic matter
and nutrients.
5
Basic Terminology
6
Solids Retention Time (SRT)
8
Bacteria – Impact of SRT
9
Basic Terminology
10
Bacteria – who and what are they?
Microorganisms that use CO2 as their (only) C source. Most absorb the C as
soluble inorganic material from aqueous or gaseous environment.
11
Influent Parameters and Design Impacts
1. Flow
» Basin size
2. BOD5 Mass Load
» Basin size
» Aeration system size
3. TSS
» Basin Size
4. Nitrogen
» Aeration system size
» Aerobic/anoxic environment
5. Phosphorus
» Anaerobic environment
6. Temperature
» Basin size
12
Nitrification
• Temperature 4 - 45° C
For every 10°C drop, nitrifier growth rate will drop by 50%
13
Denitrification
• Nitrate and organic carbon in presence of facultative
heterotrophs + anoxic conditions results in O2 + N2
» 2.86 g O2 recovered / g NO3-N denitrified
• Alkalinity recovered
» 3.54 g as CaCO3 / g of NO3-N denitrified
14
Phosphorus

Benefits of Tertiary Treatment
Gravity separation (0.8 to 1.0 mg/L)
Physical removal—filter or
membrane (0.05 mg/L to 0.5 mg/L)
30
Tertiary Treatment vs. MBR
Tertiary Treatment
• Lower chemical cost, as biological
process can be isolated from
chemical precipitation process
• Larger footprint for filtration
equipment
MBR
- Higher chemical cost, as chemicals added to
precipitate phosphorus inhibit biological phosphorus
removal
- Smaller Footprint

Advanced Process Control Solution
(OSCAR)
Retrievable Aeration Systems
Removal of the aeration system out of the basin without basin dewatering
Benefits:
• Fits where you can’t build a second basin
• Lowers CAPEX
• Reduces Footprint

Shortcomings of Batch SBR vs. ICEAS:
Need 2 reactors or balancing tank
Complicated valve arrangements & control Final Effluent

ICEAS vs. Conventional SBR
• Smaller Footprint
• Aerobic, Anoxic, Anaerobic & Settling Occurs in Same Basin
• Time Based Control
• Built in Decanter
