2 2 Objectives Understand basic processes of biological treatment Understand basic processes of biological treatment

3 3 Stone Media Trickling Filter http://www.centervilleut.net/img/Public%20Works /2TricklingFilter.jpg

4 4 Stone-Media Trickling Filters Major components Major components Rotary distributor Rotary distributor Underdrain system Underdrain system Filter media (5-7’ depth) Filter media (5-7’ depth) Most common media is crushed rock, slag or field stone (3-5” in dia.) Most common media is crushed rock, slag or field stone (3-5” in dia.) Media must be durable, insoluble and resistant to spalling Media must be durable, insoluble and resistant to spalling

5 5 Stone-Media Trickling Filters Some ww is recycled to the filter Some ww is recycled to the filter Two-stage consists of 2 filters in series (with or w/o an intermediate clarifier) Two-stage consists of 2 filters in series (with or w/o an intermediate clarifier) Second filter is less efficient since food concentration is less Second filter is less efficient since food concentration is less BOD removal is influenced by temp. BOD removal is influenced by temp.

6 Recirculation 6

7 Recirculation Ratio (R) R = Qr divided by Q R = Qr divided by Q Where: Where: Qr=recirculation flow Q=incoming wastewater flow R can be less than 1 or greater than 1 R can be less than 1 or greater than 1 7

8 8 Biological Towers Plastic media is used Plastic media is used High percentage of voids High percentage of voids High surface area per unit of volume High surface area per unit of volume Uniform media (random or modular) Uniform media (random or modular) Light weight Light weight Chemical resistance Chemical resistance Can treat high-strength wastewaters Can treat high-strength wastewaters

11 11 Biological Tower Theoretical removal rates get complex and are based on soluble BOD Theoretical removal rates get complex and are based on soluble BOD Packing configuration impacts residence time, which is related to hydraulic loading and filter depth Packing configuration impacts residence time, which is related to hydraulic loading and filter depth Another complication is that effluent from the tower is recirculated (see Figure 11- 23; page 311) Another complication is that effluent from the tower is recirculated (see Figure 11- 23; page 311)

12 12 Biological Tower Recirculation Sp is soluble BOD of primary effluent Sp is soluble BOD of primary effluent So is soluble BOD of tower influent So is soluble BOD of tower influent Se is soluble BOD of tower effluent Se is soluble BOD of tower effluent Equation 11-13 can be used to calculate the efficiency of a biological tower (w/ random packing) Equation 11-13 can be used to calculate the efficiency of a biological tower (w/ random packing)

13 13 Example 11-3 Biological Tower Flow is 1.6 mgd Flow is 1.6 mgd Primary Clarifier/Biological Tower/Secondary Clarifier Primary Clarifier/Biological Tower/Secondary Clarifier Single Stage Biological Tower: Single Stage Biological Tower: Diameter = 70’ Diameter = 70’ Media Depth = 7’ Media Depth = 7’ Primary Effluent has a soluble BOD of 100 mg/l Primary Effluent has a soluble BOD of 100 mg/l Water temp is 15C (59F) Water temp is 15C (59F) Constants for random plastic media are: Constants for random plastic media are: n=0.44 n=0.44 k 20 =0.0023 k 20 =0.0023 A s =35 square ft per cubic foot A s =35 square ft per cubic foot Calculate the effluent soluble BOD assuming indirect recirculation to the wet well of 560 gpm Calculate the effluent soluble BOD assuming indirect recirculation to the wet well of 560 gpm
