Start Up Issues

•Influent BOD5 was lower than expected5

•Process achieved complete nitrification

•Not enough BOD5 remaining to denitrify to lessNot enough BOD5 remaining to denitrify to less than 5 mg/l

•We expected we would need to add BOD5(ethylene glycol) to the influent

•Discussed the problem with Aero-Mod Process Engineer Todd Steinbach

•Aero-Mod came up with a fix using automatic valve modification that alternates the first and second stage aerationg

•Aero-Mod provided the valves

•WTOS provided the labor to complete the•WTOS provided the labor to complete the modification
