ATS / Hazen and Sawyer
• 11/2008• CPE / Process Evaluation
– Detailed sampling & analysis
• DAF implementation• Design of improvements
Ammonia / Solids Violations
• Repeated (inconsistent operations)• Overwasting of biological solids• Lagoon solids slugs• Overfeed of lime to biological system• Poor settling – filaments• “FLIP!”
BioWin Overview
• Full plant simulation software• ASDM – Activated Sludge/Anaerobic
Digestion (IWA) • Graphical user interface
– User friendly, Windows style• Requires detailed characterization

BioWin Overview (cont)• Steady state / dynamic
simulations• Tailored to domestic
waste• Ability to
import/export data• Allows multiple
simulations for what-if and process sizing analysis
Why Use Biowin?
• Process troubleshooting tool– Evaluate effect of solids on system performance
• Operations staff education– Simulations provide good examples for
operations staff• Design tool
– Size / optimize new processes for improvements
Special Sampling
• Characterize influent• Capture process
conditions• Allow for accurate
representation of process performance

Process Recommendations
• Permanent DAF – effluent 100 mg/l TSS• LSI control strategy• Denitrification tank / WAS Storage
– Increase / recover alkalinity– Prevent “float”
• Chemical feed / flocculation / splitter• New settling tank• NRCY / RAS Pump Station
Reactor Sizing Simulations
• Added denitrification reactor to Biowin• Evaluated COD removal and NO3 reduction

Reactor Design
Current Status
• Under construction• Complete by 3/31/2011
Summary / Conclusions
• Biowin useful as a tool in both troubleshooting and design– Illustrative tool– Multiple simulations allows for process
optimization• Effectiveness of model dependent on
characterization• Tailored to domestic, but can be “flexed” for
industrial wastes and unique sidestreams
