Applications

Weyerhaeuser Grande Prairie Grande Prairie is a >850,000 m 3, two cell lagoon 5.29m deep (18ft) with an operating water depth of 4.57m (15ft) when clean. Cell 1 is 326m x 323m, and cell 2 is 326m x 312m. Cell 2 has two flow baffles. The 1997 volume flow rate is 622 l/s from the south inlet, and the 2005 flow is 632 l/s from the north inlet. Each floating aerator is 75HP and circulates 1286 l/s of liquid. The 1997 configuration has 25 aerators (18 in cell1 and 7 in cell2). The 2005 configuration has 27 aerators (19 in cell 1 and 8 in cell 2).

Biological Model

 A three dimensional CFD model has been developed for predicting detailed hydraulic performance (including RTD curve prediction) in large mechanically aerated lagoons.  Using this model, wastewater engineers can combine their existing knowledge and expertise with the established power of CFD. The operation of an existing aerated lagoon can be fully analyzed over a range of operational parameters (aerator numbers, positions, and capacities; baffle installation; influent flowrate and location; bottom sludge profile, etc.) without running field dye studies. The method constitutes an efficient and powerful tool for improving lagoon performance and optimizing lagoon Conclusions

 A simplified aerobic biological model has been developed and coupled into the hydraulic CFD model. Through this coupling, three dimensional variation and evolution of the biological processes can be predicted within the lagoon. Prediction of BOD removal is a natural consequence of the three dimensional interplay (including deposition and feedback) between bacteria solids, BOD, and nutrients, and also of the dissolved oxygen supplied through individual aerators. Initial results show promise and provide a pathway towards a deeper understanding of the wastewater treatment in these lagoons. Conclusions
