To Increase Gas Production,
There are Essentially Three Options
CH4+CO2
Biosolids
CO2
![Page 12: Wastewater in-plant training Session 7 – Solid Stream](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022206/62134c08853278393b1c08cc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Increase VS Load From Within the Plant
CH4+CO2
Biosolids
CO2
![Page 13: Wastewater in-plant training Session 7 – Solid Stream](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022206/62134c08853278393b1c08cc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CH4+CO2
2. Optimize Digester Performance
![Page 14: Wastewater in-plant training Session 7 – Solid Stream](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022206/62134c08853278393b1c08cc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Add External Carbon Source
CH4+CO2
Biosolids
CO2
FOG, food waste, other
![Page 15: Wastewater in-plant training Session 7 – Solid Stream](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022206/62134c08853278393b1c08cc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Two Inputs: Maximize VS Load in Both

Three Considerations Setting SRTTARGET
1. Effluent ammonia requirement
2. Best sludge quality
3. Minimum SRTTARGET
that will satisfy 1 and 2
![Page 20: Wastewater in-plant training Session 7 – Solid Stream](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022206/62134c08853278393b1c08cc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Minimum TSS (and VSS) Loss to Effluent

Lower the SRT, Greater the MLVSS
Concentration
MLVSS = SRT×Q×Yg×(BODINF – sBODEFF)
VAB×(1 + b × SRT)

Aerobic Digestion
![Page 52: Wastewater in-plant training Session 7 – Solid Stream](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022206/62134c08853278393b1c08cc/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Aerobic Digestion
Basically an aeration tank with a LONG retention time.
Aerobic digestion is often only “slightly” aerobic –blowers are run by “nose” on small facilities.
Very coarse bubble diffusers are used – like ¼” holes drilled along the bottom of the air pipe.
Can be a good place to retrofit blowers.
If your permit requires 38% reduction, is there a benefit to getting 45% or 50% reduction? What is the energy cost of that benefit? Other cost?
Nitrification unavoidable, denitrify (mixed not aerated) to lower aeration requirement

Sludge Disposal
is #3 or #4 Expense for Many Plants
Power Costs – dewatering, pumping, washing, odor control
Recycle Costs – return streams
Disposal Costs – hauling and ultimate disposal
Polymer & Chemical Costs
Labor Costs
Maintenance Costs
![Page 57: Wastewater in-plant training Session 7 – Solid Stream](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022206/62134c08853278393b1c08cc/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Operational Considerations
If dewatering is a batch process at your plant
Does odor control run continuous?
Is building heating/cooling set to different temp at night than in day?
Can W3 water pressure be reduced because demand is reduced?
Would moving to longer run times eliminate a batch(and associated start-up/shut-down energy)?
Would shifting batching time of day reduce total plant electrical demand? Improve plant performance?

Operational Considerations
If you have a choice, what is the most efficient unit in the line-up?
Are you only scrubbing “odorous air” or are you scrubbing entire building volume?
Does cake handling equipment run continuous or only as needed?

Solids Stream Opportunity Hunt
Thickening
Digestion
Dewatering
30 min Divide participants into three teams, each to visit
one of the above areas and discuss ideas presented in
previous slides, in context of this site.
15 min Bring back three to five best ideas found, to share
with the group at the end of the hunt

Potential ways to save energy
Optimize the air-to-solids ratio in the dissolved air flotation (DAF) system by adjusting the supply air and/or by feeding the highest possible solids content.
Reduce air pressure
Reduce recirculation
Operate DAF thickener continuously and add polymers
• However, this can increase the O&M or labor costs.
Improved solids capture will benefit other downstream biosolids-treatment processes
• Thickening and/or dewatering
• Digester heating

DAF recirculation pump
15 hp pump operates at full speed
Install a VFD to allow flexibility to reduce recirculation
Equipment cost $2,500
90% speed = 20,000 kWh/year energy savings

DAF air compressor settings
Original
• 7.5 hp air compressor setting was 90 to 120 psi
Current
• 7.5 hp air compressor setting is 80 to 110 psi
DAF running normally with lower pressure setting
No cost
2,500 kWh/year energy savings

Reduce DAF recirculation pump and compressor runtime
With trickling filters running, plant wastes to DAF for six hours per day
Original
• DAF 25 hp recirculation pump and 40 hp air compressor run 24/7
Current
• DAF 25 hp recirculation pump and 40 hp air compressor run 9 hours per day
240,000 kWh/year energy savings

Compressed Air Opportunities
Pressure Limiting UserIs one end-use driving up your pressure requirements?
What is the maximum pressure you actually require
Compressor ChecksDo you have more than one compressor?
Are they all operating, and do they have to be?
Compressor Pressure Setpoints
2 psi = 1%
Minimize pressure reductions
Filter & DryersDessicant or refrigerated?
Filters checked regularly
