December, 2012 Applying BioWin Reducing Operating Costs

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings The situation… Reactor / Clarifiers Recently upgraded nutrient removal process Auckland, NZ Design: 103 mgd (mean daily flow)

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings The situation… Meets Current Final Effluent Requirements Total N: 9.5 mg/L BOD: 15 mg/L Aeration Control Strategy Single airflow control valve for each R/C Position controlled by any one of four DO probes in aerated zones

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings The situation… DO in aerated zones highly variable Aeration power costs $NZ 1.7M annually Explore cost saving potential of improved DO control strategies AND

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings The approach… Model Configuration in BioWin

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings The approach… Plant-wide intensive sampling campaign to supplement historical data

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings The approach… Dynamic model predicted versus observed operational data…

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings The application… Compare Improved and Existing DO Control Strategy Methodology: Selected an “average week” Synthesized diurnal “reactor feed” profile Entered actual observed DO data Model calculated airflow rates Calculated power consumption from airflow Compared cumulative power consumption

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings The application… Compare Improved and Existing DO Control Strategy Methodology: Compared cumulative power consumption Generated cumulative power trend over one week Proposed control strategy improvements indicated significant potential power reduction Current Control Proposed Control Projected Red’n

BioWin Application – Operating Cost Savings Conclusions and benefits… Annual Cost Savings: $NZ 399,000 $0.083 / kWh) Conclusions BioWin simulation can be used effectively as a test of the economic benefits of different aeration control strategies BioWin simulation is particularly appropriate for complex aeration systems where implementation is relatively costly Significant cost savings can be made by improving aeration control Benefits Cost saving NZ$399,000 per year (at $0.083/kWh) Reduction in air consumption 20% Reduction in blower power consumption kWh/d (8% of total power) Return on investment Immediate Cash Saving Improved Process & Stability
