Technical and Engineering Details

Basis of Design This proposal is based on the following design values to be used for design MBR system.

Influent Quality The design solution proposed is based on the values as presented in Table 3.1. All concentrations refer to max concentrations to be used for the system's design. Fluctuations in feed composition and hydraulics will be appropriately equalized to allow for optimum biological treatment. Table 3.1: Influent Quality to MBR

Note (1) It is required that feed flow be properly equalized by others and during N-1 condition the flow will be produced with subsequent trains. For the Phase I, the flow has to be equalized during cleaning. Note (2) Biological and membrane process is designed for a temperature operating range of 20 to 28 C. Higher temperatures > 35 C have to be avoided as they exceed the tolerance for the biology and membranes; otherwise appropriate cooling (by others) will be required.

4 MBR Plant General Scope Of Equipment

Process Description The following sections describe additional equipment that is required for the system and will be supplied by GEWPT and Customer. 1 Equalization Tank

Equalization is required for any system with variable flow rates. An equalization (EQ) tank is normally installed upstream of the biological tank. The required equalization volume can also be incorporated into the biological tank under certain circumstances. A minimum equalization capacity of 10 hours is recommended. 2 Equalization Transfer Pumps

Transfer Pumps transport wastewater from the equalization tank or lift station to the process tank. The transfer pumps are automatically activated by the Level Switch in a lead/lag arrangement according to the level in the tank.

Screening System

Trash and non-biodegradable solids, such as hair, lint, grit and plastics may foul or damage the membranes if allowed to pass into the membrane chamber. An internally-fed screen with mesh or punched-hole openings

less than or equal to 2 mm in diameter with no possibility of bypass or carryover is absolutely required to maintain both membrane warranty, and optimal MBR operation. 4 Process Mixers

Process mixers can be used to mix the anoxic and postanoxic chambers (if included) to prevent solids from settling in the anoxic chamber. 5 Process Aeration System

The process aeration blowers provide air for the biological tank and ensure that sufficient oxygen is available to maintain the biological processes in the tank. The aeration compartments will be fully aerated and mixed by a fine bubble aeration grid. Dissolved oxygen will be monitored in each aerobic tank to achieve a desired set point of 2 mg/L. For the Phase I, there will be One (1) duty blower and one standby blower providing process air to the aerobic zone of the bioreactor and for the Phase II & Phase III, there will be additional One (1) duty blower per Phase to provide process air to the aerobic zone of the bioreactor. 6 Fine Bubble Diffusers

A fine bubble diffused aeration system delivers air from the aeration blowers to the aerobic zone of the process tank. 7 Permeate/Backpulse Pump Equipment

One permeate pump is employed to draw water through the membranes. The permeate pump, associated valves and

piping for the system are mounted on a factory assembled, epoxy-coated carbon steel skid. Treated water flows from the permeate skid to the final disposal point.

Under normal operation and average day flow conditions, permeation is stopped for a specific period of time at regular intervals. This membrane relaxation period, combined with air scouring, effectively removes solids that have accumulated on the membrane surface or within the fibers and reduces electrical costs. Same permeate pump is provided for backpulsing the membranes. Under increased flow or adverse sludge conditions, the operator is able to select a "backpulse" mode. In this instance, the Backpulse pump will reverse the flow of permeate through the membrane fibers to dislodge solids that have accumulated on the membrane surface or within the fibers. From membrane tanks, Permeate pump draws treated effluent through the pores of the membrane fibers and into the backpulse tank. Once full, the treated effluent is automatically diverted away from the backpulse tank to a final disposal point. Clean water (permeate) is suctioned through ZW500D membranes by variable-speed centrifugal permeate pumps. Permeate flow rate is controlled to keep up with the demand placed on the system by influent flow. 8 Membrane System

In Phase I, One train1 with 46 modules will produce permeate of 1MLD, The Cassette is Consisting of Modules 4-50 quantity 9 Membrane Scour Aeration System

The membranes are air scoured with one duty membrane aeration blowers for Phase I and additional One-duty membrane aeration blowers for Phase II and additional Oneduty membrane aeration blowers for Phase III. The membrane blower capacity for the respective phases can be adjusted by pulley arrangement. 10 Mixed Liquor Recirculation Equipment

Recirculation pumps are used to transfer mixed liquor from the Membrane Tank to Bioreactor at the rate of 4 x ADF. The effluent overflows by gravity from Bio-Reactor tank to the Membrane tank at a rate of 5 x ADF. The sludge recirculation transfers solids away from the membranes and provides proper distribution within the bioreactor. The mixed liquor is pumped from the Bioreactor Splitter by Three (3) duty and one common standby to Membrane Tank Splitter. Any of the membrane trains can be isolated from the others to allow for cleaning or maintenance. 11 Sodium Hypochlorite Dosing System

The Sodium Hypochlorite Dosing system is used during membrane cleaning applications to remove organic fouling from the membrane surface.

12

Citric Acid Dosing System

The Citric Acid Dosing system is used during membrane cleaning applications to remove inorganic scaling from the membrane surface.

13

Effluent Turbidity Analyzer

An effluent turbidity analyzer can monitor effluent water quality and alert operators if effluent turbidity rises beyond acceptable parameters. For optimal performance monitoring, one turbidity analyzer per train is recommended. 14 Sludge Wasting System

Sludge wasting is accomplished by periodically diverting mixed liquor from the recirculation return line, via manual control or by pulling directly from the bioreactor. The frequency of wasting is a function of influent characteristics, reactor design and operator preference. In certain operating circumstances, bioreactors can be designed to accommodate client preferences with regards to wasting frequencies 15 Coagulant dosing System

The Coagulant Dosing system will be used to feed a metal salt (Ferric Chloride) to assist in precipitating phosphorus in the mixed liquor. This precipitate is then filtered by the ZeeWeed 500 ultrafiltration membranes, preventing phosphorus from entering the effluent. 16 Control Equipment

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Panel HMI with a Human Machine Interface (HMI), installed in the main NEMA 12 control panel, monitors and manages all critical process operations. The control panel includes all motor control hardware for the equipment. 17 Backpulse or Backwash

Under certain fouling conditions or when experiencing poor sludge characteristics, the ability to ackpulse is essential to maintaining clean membranes. This feature allows for flexible and reliable system performance during unexpected influent or process operating scenarios. Applying the ackpulse cleaning option is one of the simplest methods to ensure that immersed membranes retain optimum permeability throughout all operating conditions. Backpulsing involves reversing the flow through the

membranes to slightly expand the membrane pores and dislodge any particles that may have adhered to the membrane fiber surface. Permeate used for backpulsing is taken from the ackpulse tank. An optimized ackpulse-cleaning schedule can ensure that the plant benefits from: High membrane permeability; Efficient plant operation with minimal downtime; Reduced frequency of chemical cleans; Lower consumption of cleaning chemicals.

For this project system design, dedicated ackpulse pumps will provide the reverse flow at low pressures. When operating in Backpulse mode the system backpulses for 30 seconds at 34 lmh, every 12 to 15 minutes. No chemicals are used during a Backpulse. In addition to the normal filtration cycle, regular chemical cleaning is essential to maintain the performance of the membrane. philosophy is to always maintain the membrane in state of readiness to effectively handle peak events when they occur. This is achieved by using automatic in-situ maintenance cleans as described below. 18 Maintenance Clean

Sodium hypochlorite is used to oxidize organic foulants and citric acid is used to remove inorganic scaling. For this project, maintenance cleaning is recommended up to twice per week using sodium hypochlorite and once per week using citric acid. The maintenance cleaning procedure incorporates the following features; fully automated and the frequency is set by the operator; Performed with full membrane tank (i.e. no tank drain required); (1) Hour duration per clean per train Based on the site-specific requirements, cleaning procedures can be modified to obtain effective cleaning and maximize

chemical savings. 19 Recovery Clean

Recovery cleaning is required to restore the permeability of the membrane once the membrane becomes fouled. A recovery clean should be initiated when permeability declines to less than 50% of initial stable permeability. This will generally occur when the trans-membrane pressure (TMP) consistently exceeds 4-5 psi (vacuum) under normal flow conditions. The recovery cleaning procedure consists of a chemical ackpulse sequence, followed by a chemical soak period. The cleaning chemical concentrations typically used to soak the membranes are 1,000-mg/L sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for the removal of organic foulants and 2,000-mg/L citric acid for the removal of inorganic foulants. Key features of the recovery cleaning procedure for ZeeWeed membrane filtration system are: Fully automated and initiated by the operator; Cleans all membrane cassettes in a train at the same time; Recommended two times per annum Requires moderate chemical concentration Spent cleaning chemicals can be neutralized if required

Estimated Cleaning Chemical Consumption

GENERAL NOTES: 1. The guaranteed effluent quality is based on a non-toxic and non-inhibitory wastewater composition in the inflow. The presence of such material in the wastewater will inhibit or kill the bacteria seriously impeding the efficiency of the MBR, and in this case the limits cannot be guarantEEd
