In 2015, After 35 years of Zimpo Operations we analysed the viability of our operations for the future
• Increasing COD Loading in the Raw Sewage
• Increasing problems due to internal waste stream recirculation• Maintenance issues with high pressure equipment
• The high cost of energy required for the current sludge process
• Future capabilities of the current aeration system• Maintaining and improving our BNR systems

The Cod loadings to the plant have steadily increased while the flows have remained stable
This was a strong indication that our efforts would need to be in the area of solids handling
Thermal Hydrolysis• Lysis – breaking stuff apart• Thermal – with heat• Hydro – with water (solubilization)

In 2015 we conducted an intensive two week sampling campaign at multiple locations throughout our plant and sewer system
One of the most interesting findings was the significant percentage of recycle loading from our Zimpro process

Our Zimpro operations currently consumes 17
percent of our electrical power use
By shutting down Zimpro our average Electrical power use would drop to 1.01 MW. This power could be provided by one of our existing gas generators
Zimpro consumes 85 percent of our natural gas
This natural gas could be diverted to run one generator for 13 hours per day. While supplying hot water and
Steam to a new process

Maintenance of high pressure equipment has been a constant issue.
Some of our equipment is no longer functional.

With the loadings increasing we considered adding more aeration tanks
Our projections however, showed that even adding three more aeration tanks would not provide enough
capacity by 2038

• B&V at risk for aggregated savings
• Looked closely at our risk using Monte-carlo type analysis (using @Risk software)
• Polymer was by far the biggest risk
• In the end the client removed savings guarantee to reduce project cost
