Polymer Preparation – with ProMinent

PolyRex is a turn-key automatic machine for batch preparation and metering of polymer solutions from dry or liquid sources. The PolyRex uses a progressive mixing system to effectively hydrate and activate the polymer to a homogenous and activated polymer solution.

Economical Polymer Preparation Solutions

for powdery and liquid polyelectrolytes PolyRex®

TOMAL®®

ProMix are in-line polymer preparation stations for the processing of liquid polymers. Using various pump technologies, the liquid polymer is metered into the multi-zone mixer unit to the diluent water and processed into a homogeneous and effective polymer solution. The units are designed to require minimal space.

Ultromat®continuous flow polymer systems

ProMinent®®

With Ultromat continuous flow systems, the reservoir is separated into multiple chambers. Thus, it is extremely unlikely that recently mixed polymer gets into the suction area of the metering pump (product entrainment). The system offers an economical means of polymer preparation with a much smaller footprint than a batch based system thus being a suitable retrofit for existing polymer equipment.

tion treatment developments, includ-ing fine-bubble diffusers, dissolved-oxygen control systems and additionof anoxic zones, are crucial for re-ducing WWTP energy use.

Aeration typically accounts for al-most 55% of a municipal wastewaterplant’s energy use. According to Mr.Roehl, while new aeration technol-ogy offers great returns on invest-ment, some of the largest gains canoccur when more wastes are treatedunder anaerobic conditions. In addi-tion to maximizing biogas produc-tion, anaerobic treatment requiressubstantially less energy than aerobictreatment. This seems to be a rarecase of economic and environmentalconvergence.

Energy recoveryWhile efficiency optimization

aims to reduce energy required torun treatment plants, recovery seeksto increase the energy produced dur-ing operation. In the U.K., biogas hasbeen used since the late nineteenthcentury, when gas collected fromlocal sewage plants fuelled street-lamps.

Increased energy recovery from

Rising gas prices continue toattract attention and rouseanger among motorists. Atthe end of the nineteenth

century, however, the petroleum in-dustry was fortunate enough to ob-tain two cents for each gallon of gassold. In most cases, gasoline – seenas a useless by-product of kerosenerefinement – was surreptitiouslypoured into rivers. What accountedfor gasoline’s price raise was notchanges in composition, but realiza-tion of its potential.

Looking back on the countlessgallons of gas sold for pennies, it iseasy to laugh and remark how fool-ish our predecessors were. Yet, asgrowing developments in wastewatertreatment suggest, present practicesmay be future material for historichumour.

Wastewater, which consumes siz-able amounts of energy to treat effec-tively, contains enough potentialenergy to cover costs many timesover. The idea that wastewater treat-ment plants could achieve net-zeroenergy usage, and even net energyproduction, is gaining momentum.Marc Roehl, P.E., Product Manager

of Biosolids Technology at SiemensWater Technologies, says that energyefficiency has become a focus pointfor designers and municipalitieslooking to upgrade treatment plants.An advocate of achieving energy ef-ficiency through two approaches,Mr. Roehl argues for increasing bothefficiency and energy recovery.

Wastewater treatment accounts forsome 30- 40% of municipal energyusage, and 30% of a typical plant’soperational costs is electricity. Assuch, reducing energy consumptionis an essential budgetary concern inour age of austerity.

In addition to reducing carbonfootprints through curtailing electric-ity consumption, potent greenhousegas components of biogas can becaptured and utilized to further re-duce energy taken from the grid. Siz-able gains can already be madethrough equipment and process in-vestment.

Energy efficiency Installing modern pumps, mixers

and blowers of increased efficiency,in conjunction with variable fre-quency drives, decreases energy useand plant maintenance costs. Aera-

In Odessa, Ukraine, a power gen-eration plant turns 50,000 tons of de-watered sewage sludge into33,507,000 kWh, with emissionslower than that of liquefied petro-leum gas.

In Canada, the Liberty EnergyCenter, currently under constructionin Hamilton, Ontario, hopes to powertwo 5 MW steam turbines with470,000 tonnes of biomass andbiosolids annually. In Ontario, re-newable energy and energy effi-ciency projects have been spurred onby the Green Energy Act. By 2025,Ontario plans on reducing peak elec-tricity demand by 6,300 MW, whiledoubling renewable energy produc-tion to 15,700 MW.

The pairing of wind and solarpower generation with WWTPs, hasbeen gaining recognition and atten-tion as alternative energy continuesto gain traction. Erecting turbines onvacant land within treatment plants,or installing solar panels on roofs,works towards plant sustainabilitythrough energy generation.

LimitationsUnfortunately, the widespread

achievement of net-zero energyplants is not feasible with today’stechnologies. Given existing technol-ogy and methods, WWTPs are cur-rently able to achieve a 20-30%reduction in energy expended inwastewater treatment. When com-bined with a co-generation powerplant – able to meet 25-35% of a

plant’s needs – a net energy reduc-tion of 40-60% is achievable. How-ever, this is far from the goal ofnet-zero energy.

The East Bay Municipal UtilityDistrict (EBMUD) treatment plant inOakland, California, is a model forplants working towards net-zero en-ergy. EBMUD installed variable fre-quency drives and new blowers,discontinued second stage activatedsludge mixing, and operated thermaland co-generation energy production.While it has not yet achieved net-zero energy status, the investmentsand process enhancements save thefacility an estimated $2.8 million an-nually.

Separating the best possible plantsof today from becoming net-zero, iswhat Mr. Roehl described as, “a tech-nology gap”. However he predictsthat within two to three years, emerg-ing technology and process advance-ments will allow for even greaterenergy efficiency and energy recov-ery. This could make net-zero energyplants a reality, which will be a mile-stone event in the history of waste-water treatment.

biogas requires increasing productionthrough improved anaerobic diges-tion, along with greater gas captureand storage capacity. “Biogas is re-ally a no-brainer in terms of trying tofind ways of recovering energy,” Mr.Roehl said when interviewed byES&E. “It is an available and oftenunder-utilized energy source, goinghand-in-hand with wastewater treat-ment. Biogas, compared to othersources of energy capture, offers thebenefits of working within existingprocesses and plants. Beneficially,using biogas is simply an addition tothe process rather than an additionalprocess.”

Along with biogas, biosolids offeranother source of fuel, though onewhich requires a substantial amountof additional infrastructure in orderto be fully utilized. Moreover, thebenefits of energy produced must beweighed against energy required todewater and transport the biosolids.These waste-to-energy plants con-sume negative value fuel – that is,people pay you to collect this fuel,and produce revenue generating elec-tricity. This seems to be an excep-tional case of having one’s (sludge)cake and eating it too.

Modern waste-to-energy plantsare able to reduce volumes of origi-nal waste by approximately 90%.Then, through incineration, contami-nants that could be potentially re-leased through other disposalmethods are destroyed.

water effluent quality criteria can be iden-tified. Typically, risk assessments ofteninclude recommendations for ongoingmonitoring of the effluent and river inorder to determine whether effluent qual-ity criteria are being maintained. Neces-sary actions can quickly be taken, if andwhen quality criteria are exceeded.

The process by which risk assess-ments are completed has been developedand endorsed by government agenciessuch as Health and Environment Canada,Alberta Environment, and the UnitedStates Environmental Protection Agency.All risk assessments, including those thatare completed for wastewater projects,are based in principle upon a general riskassessment paradigm. 2. How is risk assessment used forwastewater projects?

Facility operators or municipalitiesmay wish to have risk assessments com-pleted for a variety of reasons. In someinstances, there may be communitiesdownstream of a wastewater outfall thathave specific concerns about their healthor water quality and associated environ-mental impacts.

For example, Intrinsik completed acomprehensive human health risk assess-

Human health and environ-mental impacts related tomunicipal wastewater areemerging areas of interest for

a number of reasons. These include in-creasing concern regarding the viabilityand sustainability of public water sup-plies, concerns about people’s health andthe environment, and regulatory changes.

Recently, the Calgary office of Intrin-sik Environmental Sciences Inc. was con-tracted to complete several environmentalhealth risk assessments related to munic-ipal wastewater projects in Alberta.1. What is environmental risk assess-ment?

Environmental risk assessments areconducted to identify potential chemicaland microbial hazards to human healthand environmental quality. Potential haz-ards are assessed by determining maxi-mum chemical and microbial substanceconcentrations in water, fish, and wildlifein contact with the receiving river water,and by comparing these to toxicology-based exposure limits for those sub-stances. Background river water qualityis taken into account, so that overall cu-mulative risks can be determined.

In this manner, safe municipal waste-

ment for a wastewater project upstreamof an aboriginal community. It includedan evaluation of potential health impactsrelating to drinking water, traditionalfood consumption, traditional and do-mestic water use, local foods and fishconsumption, and recreational uses ofwater (e.g., swimming).

Increasingly, the evaluation of poten-tial human and environmental healthrisks posed by wastewater discharges isthe result of recent provincial regulatoryrequirements linked to the CCME’s“Canada-Wide Strategy for the Manage-ment of Municipal Wastewater Effluent”.3. Do risk assessments have to be com-pleted in Canada?

In 2009, the Canadian Council forMinisters of the Environment (CCME)introduced the Canada-Wide MunicipalWastewater Strategy. This strategy in-cludes sampling and testing require-ments, National Performance Standards,and recommendations for the completionof environmental risk assessments in sup-port of the determination of site-specificenvironmental discharge objectives(EDOs). These requirements impact newand upgraded facilities in different ways,depending on facility size, type of dis-

Potential health impacts include fish consumption and recreational uses of water.

charge (continuous vs. intermittent) and flow rates. Testing requirements specified by the CCME vary with re-

spect to the number of samples per year to be taken, and thetypes of analysis that are suggested. Data from the collectionof these samples can be used in completing risk assessments.

Examples of parameters that are discussed within the CCMEWastewater Strategy include: ammonia, total suspended solids,carbonaceous biological oxygen demand, total residual chlorine,Escherichia coli, total coliforms, and various chemical param-eters, such as metals, volatile organics, pesticides, and poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Intrinsik’s approach to wastewater risk assessment has fo-cused on the potential water uses associated with the receivingwater body for wastewater effluent, stakeholder concerns, andthe amount of historical environmental quality informationavailable for the particular project. 4. How is a risk assessment completed?

Risk assessments may be completed with a focus on humanhealth, ecological health (such as fish and other aquatic organ-isms), or both, depending on the facility and the area in whichit is located. The CCME definition includes both human andaquatic health, but is very general with respect to outlining spe-cific requirements.

A basic, screening-level risk assessment includes a compar-ison of measured concentrations of chemicals, nutrients and mi-crobes against established criteria (such as the CCMEcommunity drinking water guidelines, or the CCME freshwateraquatic life criteria). Such assessments are key in evaluatingand deriving site-specific objectives under the CCME frame-work.

In the interest of human health protection, a more compre-hensive approach to risk assessment can be used in tandem witha screening level assessment or as a follow-up project. Thismore comprehensive approach might include a quantitative as-sessment of the total dose of chemicals that a person might beexposed to from drinking water, bathing or swimming, and fishconsumption.

If an operator or regulator were concerned about the con-centrations of metals such as mercury from the wastewater infish, the comprehensive risk assessment would be a means ofproviding this type of risk information. 5. What are the benefits of completing a risk assessment?

Human health and ecological risk assessments providemeans of identifying and managing environmental risks. Theseassessments provide meaningful, scientifically-based informa-tion to operators and to the public and other community stake-holders. Completion of risk assessments can build upon or serveas the basis for the development of public consultation pro-grams, and aid in building and maintaining positive relation-ships between operators and stakeholders.

The outcomes of risk assessments may be useful in that theymay identify areas of potential interest to a municipality, suchas mercury concentrations in fish, cyanobacteria, eutrophica-tion, or microbial issues.

the first two reactors, process perform-ance testing began. Warm-period testingstarted in the last week of July and contin-ued through August, September and Oc-tober. This was followed by cold-periodtesting for four more months: November,December, January and February.

When the plant had successfullypassed the two testing periods with tworeactors in operation, testing was contin-ued at higher flow (inflow/infiltration) inMarch and April 2007, with only one re-actor in operation. The CFID SBRdemonstrated its ability to efficiently han-dle a constantly changing flow with high-rate inflow/infiltration.

SBR design approachThe main treatment objectives for the

CFID SBR were to achieve reduction ofbiological oxygen demand (BOD5), totalsuspended solids (TSS), ammonia, andtotal phosphorus (TP). Chemically as-sisted phosphorus removal was used toensure that the SBR consistently met ef-fluent requirements for total phosphorus.

Microbial growth kinetic coefficientsfor heterotrophic bacteria, as well as nitri-fication kinetic coefficients, were based

Five years ago, the Town of Essex,in southwestern Ontario, decidedto upgrade its facultative lagoontreatment systems with an alter-

native wastewater treatment plant — acontinuous-fill, intermittent-discharge se-quencing batch reactor (CFID-SBR) sys-tem, targeting even higher effluent quality.

The CFID SBR process was designedby Premier Tech Aqua, which also pro-vided major process equipment for thehigh-performance treatment plant. Engi-neering for the construction was designedand provided by Stantec Consulting Ltd.(Windsor). The plant is being operated bythe Ontario Clean Water Agency.

The plant has three CFID-SBR reac-tors with a total average capacity of 4,590m³/d (flow rate estimated for the next 20years). Provision has been made to ex-pand the plant further, with 33% more ca-pacity, by building a fourth reactor to treatan ultimate design flow of 6,120 m³/d.

The Essex Sewage Works was com-missioned in early January 2006, andsince then the CFID-SBR system has con-sistently met the effluent requirements.Six months after a successful start-up of

on the ASM model (Henze et al. 2000).Kinetic coefficients given at 20oC wereadjusted to design temperatures using theArrhenius equation.

Mass balance and prediction of sludgeproduction were based on modeling ofthe suspended growth treatment process,considering heterotrophic biomass,cell debris, nitrifying biomass, non-biodegradable volatile suspended solids(VSS) in influent and inert TSS in influ-ent (Metcalf & Eddy, 2003).

Each of the three basins has an effec-tive volume of 1,567 m³, leading to one-day hydraulic retention time at averagedry weather flow (design flow).

Biological process simulations usingBioWin as a platform were also part ofthe design. The simulations consideredcycle time and the particular hydraulicmanagement of the CFID SBR andtracked the variation of the concentra-tions of pollutants being treated. Twomain scenarios were explored. The firstone considered wastewater with coldtemperature 8oC. In this case, effluentquality for ammonia and BOD remainedbelow the limits.

The second scenario assumed a 50%higher flow per reactor, lasting a wholeweek. This would be the case, if one outof the three reactors was suddenly out ofservice for a week. Simulation resultsconfirmed that the CFID SBR system, asdesigned, would meet targeted effluentcriteria.Field data and performance results

For March and April 2007, one reac-tor configuration had to face a continu-ous, extremely high hydraulic load, mostlikely due to water infiltration and in-flow. Average design flow per reactorwas exceeded by more than 70% andmaximum treated daily volume was onaverage 4.6 times the design averagedaily flow. Hourly peak flow reached 150L/s, which is 8.5 times the average de-sign flow per reactor.

Influent pumps were equipped withvariable frequency drives (VFDs) and in-deed the influent intensities were pro-gressively increasing and decreasing.The CFID SBR sequence was not justjumping between two modes (normal

mode and storm mode), instead, it wascontinuously and smoothly adjustingevery five minutes to the variation of theinflow. Treatment steps were automati-cally and progressively shortened, or ex-tended, depending on influent variations.

At all times, the system was able tomake best use of the process equipment,thereby extending the cycle of treatmentevery time it was possible.

SBR mixed-liquor temperature wassignificantly affected by influent temper-ature, and both SBR and influent temper-atures were affected by ambient temper-ature. Environment Canada reported thatthe average monthly ambient tempera-tures for March and April 2007 for theWindsor area were 4.2oC and 8.5oC, re-spectively.

The SBR was roofless and quite ex-posed to weather conditions. Conse-quently, in March and April 2007, bothfactors (influent and ambient tempera-tures) contributed to cooling the SBR,which is unhelpful for treatment per-formance. Although January and Febru-ary were the coldest months, the impacton the SBR was less visible because oflow precipitation and, therefore, lowwater inflow/infiltration.

It happens that with excessive high in-coming flow, the time for the treatmentcycle is reduced considerably, meaningthe static-fill step is skipped almost reg-ularly and the fill-settle step is reducedprogressively to about 45 minutes percycle. This may well have contributedgreatly to gradually diminishing the ef-fectiveness of the biological selector ef-fect and thus raising the SVI number.

Analyses of effluent TSS for Marchand April 2007 confirm this observationabout settling deterioration under stressconditions. TP concentration in the efflu-ent also displayed the same trend as TSS,despite alum dosing. Note that dosingwas on average at 49 μL of liquid alumper litre of wastewater. The mole ratiowas on average around Al:P 2.2, basedon an estimated 2.38% w/w phosphorusassimilation in VSS biomass (Ecken-felder & Grau). Chemical sludge madeup about 8% of total sludge, which mighthave contributed to maintaining rela-tively good settling.

Organic matter concentrations ex-pressed as COD and BOD showed theplant had no difficulty at all in demon-

strating an excellent performance. Evenwith one reactor in operation, BOD wasconsistently below 5 mg/L.

Full nitrification was observed. Evenat low temperatures, total ammonia inthe effluent remained well below the tar-get concentration of 1 mg/L. For the lasttesting with one reactor in operation forthree months, total ammonia did not ex-ceed 0.6 mg/L on average. This meansthe treatment cycle as engineered pro-vided enough aeration time to complete

the nitrification reaction. Also important was that filling with

wastewater during settling and decantingdid not affect the quality of the effluent,thanks to the baffle wall.

Nitrate (NO3) and nitrite (NO2) con-centrations in the influent were moni-tored on a regular basis, similar to therest of parameters reported above. On av-erage, total influent concentration (NO2+NO3) was below 0.25 mg/L, so the im-

In addition, while manyNPRI-listed substances also have an an-nual employee-hour threshold of 20,000hours (about 10 employees), ChemTRACdoes not include such a threshold.

The rationale behind these differencesin reporting thresholds is to elicit report-ing from small- to medium-sized organi-zations. As of 2009, less than 0.5% of allregistered companies within the limits ofthe City of Toronto report to NPRI on anannual basis.

It re-quires all Toronto businesses, unlessspecifically exempt, to report their an-nual use and release of 25 chemicalcompounds, if they meet certain report-ing criteria.

ChemTRAC is similar to EnvironmentCanada’s National Pollutant Release In-

more than 12,000,000 cubic metres ofnatural gas to meet the 20,000 kg/yrthreshold for nitrogen oxides, a by-prod-uct of combustion. A metal-working fa-cility would have to use over 30,000 kgof 300 series stainless steel to meet the10,000 kg/yr threshold for non-hexava-lent chromium. Many, if not most, smalland medium-sized Toronto businesseswill not meet those thresholds.

ChemTRAC thresholds are availableat www.toronto.ca/chemtrac.

The City of Toronto’s EnvironmentalPlan has identified significant data gapsin information available to the public onsources of contaminant releases at thelocal level. As a result of the lower massreporting thresholds for the ChemTRACprogram, Toronto Public Health estimatesthat between 4,000 and 7,000 Toronto

Regulations

businesses will have to report their usesand releases annually. Reported data willbe made available to the public.

At this time, the City intends to usethe program as a data collection initiative,to be enforced by City bylaw officers.Fines for non-compliance will range fromup to $5,000 for a first offence to$100,000 for continued violations.

The bylaw lists sectors and sources ex-empt from reporting. These include facil-ities engaged solely in retail sales; foodand accommodation services; medicaland dental offices; construction sites; fuelsales, distribution and storage; and gen-eral vehicle repair facilities, other thanauto body shops, and parts repair and re-manufacturing.

Based on the North American Indus-trial Classification System (NAICS)code, the ChemTRAC program is beingphased in to apply to specific sectors orservices over a three-year period. Thefirst group of sectors is, or should be, cur-rently monitoring their annual use and re-lease of the listed chemicals. If theytrigger reporting, their first report will bedue June 30, 2011. There are about 2,700companies in the Phase 1 group currentlyoperating in Toronto.

Phase 2 companies include chemicalwholesalers, medical and diagnostic lab-oratories, waste management and reme-diation services, dry cleaning andlaundry services, auto body repair andauto parts repair facilities, and funeralservices. The first reports for these com-panies will be due June 30, 2012.

All other facilities, unless otherwiseexempt, will be phased in by January2012, with reports due June 30, 2013.This last group will include metal andmetal products manufacturers, hospitals,universities and schools, office buildingswith reportable activities such as printingor power generation, and potentially evensmall businesses such as hairdressers, iftarget compounds are used and releasedin sufficient quantities.

A number of resources are beingmade available to Toronto businesses tohelp them assess their annual uses and re-leases and, if necessary, to report toChemTRAC. Along with a general guideto reporting, Toronto Public Health ismaking available over 50 spreadsheet cal-culators, designed for use in a variety ofindustrial sectors and processes. By en-

tering a few simple production inputs forthe reporting year, the calculators will es-timate chemical uses and releases to airfor ChemTRAC substances. These canthen be reported through the City’s onlinereporting platform. This reporting plat-form was still in development at the timeof this article.

Through a partnership between theToronto Region Conservation Authorityand Partners in Project Green, studentsare also available to conduct free site vis-its at interested companies. They will re-view the company’s processes, existingenvironmental reports and permits, andprovide guidance on what informationneeds to be collected and reviewed tocomplete a ChemTRAC assessment.

To complete an assessment, facilitieswill be expected to review annual produc-tion information, purchasing records, andthe chemical composition of all productsmanufactured, processed, or otherwiseused on-site. If measurements of theamount of each target chemical used andreleased were not taken during the report-ing year, totals can be estimated.

Estimates of annual uses and releasesbased on annual processing and purchas-ing records can be calculated using pub-lished emission factors, which determineemissions per unit of input (e.g., kilo-grams released per unit of product pro-duced). Or mass balance calculations canbe used. They assume that the quantity ofa compound on the input side of a processshould be equal to the amount on the out-put side emitted as finished product,waste, and surface water or air emissions.

Depending on the number of sourcesand processes at a facility, the total of ma-terial safety data sheets to be reviewed forreportable substances, and the experienceof the person or team completing the as-sessment, reporting could be the work ofa few hours, or a few weeks. The level oftraining and experience needed to com-plete the reporting will vary as widelywith the complexity of the process andthe number of chemicals in use.

The City is also providing Toxics Re-duction Grants ranging from $1,000 to$25,000, to fund initiatives that educateworkers and help businesses achieve long-term reduction or elimination of the useand release of ChemTRAC substances.

Grants are available to business asso-ciations, unions and labour organizations,neighbourhood associations and commu-nity groups, charitable organizations, andenvironmental organizations operating inToronto. Grant applications will be ac-cepted between January 3 and March 11,2011. These grants are not available to in-dividual businesses.

It is intended that information re-ported to ChemTRAC will be publiclydisclosed, although the manner in which

this will occur and the level of detail pro-vided is still under consideration byToronto Public Health staff. Although theChemTRAC program is not designedwith contaminant emission limits, othersimilar regulatory programs have shownthat increased awareness of chemical usesand releases from a facility, as well aspublic disclosure of that information, canmotivate industry efforts to reduce theiruses and releases, without making thesereductions mandatory.

The Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduc-tion Act was successful in reducing state-wide toxic waste disposal by 50% in 10years, without legally requiring compa-nies to do so. In Canada, the NPRI hasbeen credited with reducing air emissionsby 27% in 17 years. This is due largely toimproved tracking of releases and in-creased public awareness of pollutionsources at the community level.

Although there are no numerical tar-gets in terms of pollution reduction, it isthe goal of ChemTRAC to motivate thesame awareness and accountability forToronto businesses.

it should not be surprising that it has af-fected the number of potential employees.

Also, consider the culture and behav-ioral tendencies of the next generation ofemployees. They suffered along with theirparents through the various downsizing,right sizing, plant closures, businessfailures and retirement fund lossesarising from scandals such as WorldComand Enron, the bankruptcy of GM andChrysler, as well as the boom/bust of thedot coms. In short, they have matured ina world that has demonstrated selfishness,disloyalty and greed.

They are also the information genera-tion. Technology has empowered themlike none before with the internet, e-mail,text messaging, instant messaging, cellphones, social networks and satellitecommunications providing unlimited ac-cess to television and radio stations fromacross the globe.

Much has been said and writ-ten about the forecastedshortage of qualified andexperienced water and

wastewater operators over the next fiveyears. This shortage, if predictions cometrue, will have an adverse effect on waterand wastewater treatment across NorthAmerica as there are more operatorsreaching retirement eligibility than thereare new ones entering the industry.

Industry veterans will tell you that alot has changed since they began their ca-reers in the 1970s and 1980s, with in-creased liability, reduced resources, anda raised bar with regard to entry level re-quirements. They have had to study, writeexams and, at least on paper, becomemore like scientists. While these may allbe good things for the consumers ofpotable water and those committed toprotecting our drinking water resources,

warding and prestigious work, with ahigh degree of workplace independenceand creativity.

All of this leads to a generation enter-ing the workforce that is substantiallysmaller than the generation that is exiting.They are less willing to make a long-termcommitment to an employer and less will-ing to work longer hours than contractu-ally required. In many cases, they areentering the workforce with the financialpressure of student loans. They have theexpectation that the top jobs will soon bevacant and that they will be trained andready to assume those positions withouthaving to put in years to prove themselves.

In the water and wastewater industryspecifically, there has been much dia-logue about how to deal with the shortageproblem, how to generate interest in theindustry, and how to keep moving to-wards the concept of highly-skilled,highly-trained certified operators. Manymunicipalities have found themselvestrying to deal with shrinking budgetswhile trying to maintain sufficient oper-ational resources. Take your average mu-nicipal drinking water system, perhapsrurally located, and provide them with theanswers as to how they can attract andkeep staff at competitive rates and youwill be considered a genius.

For the most part, all of this talk seemsto be geared towards the “surrenderingand acceptance” notion that veteran op-erators will soon move on, so what are wegoing to do?

However, we believe there is tremen-dous opportunity to tap into the talents ofveteran operators and that it does nothave to be all or nothing. Here’s what weknow.

- No number of new operators can re-place the accumulated knowledge, hands-on skills and experience of a veteran.

- Just as a container of milk does notgo sour at midnight on the posted expirydate, veteran operators do not become in-capable on their first day of retirement.

- For many long time operators, workhas been a significant part of their life.

- Not many municipalities can affordto hire new operators for any significantdegree of mentoring overlap.

- There are veteran operators out therewho actually wish there was a way theycould help in the transition and who getpersonal gratification from passing on

knowledge to their junior colleagues.The World Water Operator Training

Company understands this potential andis proactively responding to this situationby looking for veteran operators who feelthat they still have something to offer. Po-tential exists for these veterans to serveas an Instructor/Training Specialist, or aspart of our “Operation & MaintenanceProblem Solving Services” team.

After all, the skill sets for both are es-sentially similar when you consider thevalue of their hands-on experience; theirdesire to help or coach others; their expe-rience “problem solving” or finding an-swers to challenging questions; theirpresentation or facilitation skills; their de-sire to stay somewhat active; and impor-tantly, their ability to translate theirexperience into resolutions or instruction.

The WWOTC Problem Solving teamis comprised of seasoned veterans whoare knowledgeable and experienced inthe day-to-day challenges of operatingand maintaining water and wastewatersystems. Working with on-site operators,their role is to provide the tools to opti-mize existing process streams, assessing

for improving performance, reducingcosts and ensuring due diligence in meet-ing regulatory requirements.

They are able to offer on-siteoperational-coaching/mentoring, on-site“quick-response” support for problems,operational assessments, process opti-mization, and equipment and computer-ized maintenance.

In summary, the void that exists nowis fully expected to get bigger. So when-ever possible, we must explore every op-portunity to retain the valuable skills ofveteran operators. Experienced operatorshave been in the proverbial trenches and,while credentials are certainly needed,experience is vital. We firmly believe thatthere is a need for these valuable skills,resources and experience to be put towork.

Depending on substrate porosity,small volume water samples for chemicalanalysis or large volumes for fish bioas-says can also be collected.

Other “direct push systems” used forgroundwater sampling apply force at the

At roughly 2,000 kilometreslong, the Columbia River isthe largest river in the PacificNorthwest region of North

America. It was here in 2008 where En-vironment Canada’s Peter Krahn, taskedto take samples as part of an environ-mental assessment, faced an almost im-possible situation.

“I had to get samples from the river,but there was no possible way to collectthem. The water moved too fast, the riverwas too deep, and there was heavy rockcobble at the bottom,” said Krahn. Hethen came up with an innovative ground-water sampling device that he thoughtcould do the job. Two years later, Envi-ronment Canada has filed a patent appli-cation on the K-Interstitial groundwatersampler, or “KIST Sampler”, to collectgroundwater and sediment core samplesin the toughest of conditions.

When groundwater rises up into anoverlying river, lake, or ocean, it is said to“upwell”, or behave like an artesianspring. When this water is contaminated,chemicals “upwell” into the overlyingbody of water along with the groundwa-ter. Collecting a sample of this ground-water just before it upwells is importantfor testing its chemical composition, po-tential toxicity and environmental impact.This is especially true in an emergencyspill situation, when samples revealgroundwater quality and the zone of en-vironmental impact.

Collecting impacted sediment cores isanother important step in this samplingprocess. This allows testing of pore waterconcentrations for their potential impacton fish and benthic invertebrates. Yet, get-ting core samples in areas of significantwater depth, or where there are high riskfactors (such as fast currents, hazardousbottom structures, or turbidity) can be dif-ficult and dangerous.

Fast and effective, the KIST Sampleruses attachments to collect interstitialgroundwater samples in the hyporheiczone (where groundwater and surfacewater mixes) and in substrates, from

upper end of a probe, usually at the watersurface. In deep water with fast currentsand heavy rock cobble bottoms, thisupper application of force can cause theprobes to bend, snap and fail. The KISTSampler generates the penetrative forcerequired, using a patent-pending slidehammer system.

It provides both anchoring mass andupwards of 2,000 psi impact force at the

bottom of the probe, directly to thepeizometer sampling tip. Interchangeablecomponents allow the mass to be in-creased above the slide hammer (to in-crease impact force), below (to increaseanchoring force), or both. The slide ham-mer force is also reversible, allowing theprobe to be easily extracted after sam-pling is complete.

“We really set out to create a tool thatwas portable and able to operate in theharshest of conditions, where otherequipment or divers could not,” notedKrahn. “Drilling wells in an off-shore en-vironment is inherently risky, expensive,and can require large boats or barge-mounted platforms,” added Krahn. “TheKIST Sampler is deployable on a varietyof platforms, from 4-metre inflatableboats to jet boats or off-shore boats.”

The sampler’s main adaptabilitycomes from its numerous potential at-tachments. The peristaltic (or roller)pump attachment collects the desired vol-ume of sample at the required extractionrate. A conversion attachment can con-nect split spoon samplers that collect sed-iment cores in various substrates, fromclay and silt to coarse sand. Another con-version attachment allows connection ofa shielded peizometer to collect porewater samples at discreet depths.

An underwater camera attachment canaccommodate single or 360-degree viewsin real-time, still or streaming video set-tings. The camera helps operators withsite selection, examination of bottomsubstrate, and depth of penetration con-firmation. The video can also be recordeddirectly to a laptop computer for later ex-amination and editing.

These attachments also help make thesampler easy to use. Operation requiresthree people: one person to operate thewinch, one to help feed cables and hosesduring deployment, and a final person tomonitor the real-time camera and datalogger.

Results so far speak for themselves.The device has already been successfullyused to collect legal evidence of up-welling groundwater at current speedsapproaching 2.0 metres/second and 10metres deep in heavy river cobble. Testsare underway to deploy at over 30 metresdepth.

For samples which are gas sensitive orvery hazardous, Environment Canada has

gone one-step further, developing a “SafeSampler” system. This isolated atmos-phere system can be coupled with theKIST Sampler to collect hazardous, or at-mosphere sensitive, groundwater samplesfrom the hyporheic, epibenthic or watercolumn zones.

The “Safe Sampler” system is a robust

field design that can be operated at thesample site, protecting both the sampleand the sampler from cross contamina-tion, hazardous chemicals and gas sensi-tive conditions.


Streaming video of the placement and penetration of the KIST sampler can be viewed and recorded to a computer using the underwater video camera attachment.

veloper, secured the services of AMEC toundertake the stormwater engineeringwork, and Progressive Engineering tocomplete the landscape architecture de-signs for the community. In order to meettheir objectives and adhere to local regu-lations, AMEC and Progressive Engi-neering worked together to develop aLow Impact Design (LID), using naturalmaterials first and moving to more engi-neered solutions as required for storm-water management.

This LID approach addresses post-de-velopment release rate requirementswhile also improving water quality. Sev-eral different design solutions, materialsand products are incorporated into the de-sign and include: rooftop rainwater har-vesting; rain gardens; vegetated swales;gravel infiltration trenches; sump catch-basins with non-clogging weirs; infiltrat-ing underground storage; redirection ofstormwater from streets into rain gardensvia curb-cuts; and creation of a raingar-den/dry pond.

The main goal was to utilize LIDtechniques to maintain and/or restore thenatural hydrological function of this siteand meet the low discharge capacityavailable in the existing storm sewer sys-tem. At the same time, the plan meets theCity of Calgary guidelines for storm-

The Currie Barracks redevelop-ment lands are located insouthwest Calgary, Alberta, atthe site of a former Canadian

military base. Phase 1 is comprised ofapproximately 14.6 ha of single andmulti-family residential units and publicspace. The full site (~83 hectares) is apilot project for LEED NeighborhoodDevelopment in Canada and has receiveda Gold rating for the approved plan.

Existing stormwater infrastructureservicing the area was near capacity anda sustainable stormwater management so-lution was required. Provincial regulatoryagencies require decreased stormwaterpollutant loadings to receiving streams.Due to downstream storm sewer con-straints, post-development releases to thesystem from the Currie Barracks site aremore restrictive than in many new devel-opments.

Canada Lands Company, the site de- water management.Low Impact Development technology

is based on a shift in perception, viewingstormwater as a resource rather than anuisance to be dealt with. By implement-ing more natural methods of handlingstormwater, this technology facilitates amore natural runoff hydrograph that re-duces erosion and sedimentation, therebyproviding improved water quality.

The Currie Barracks project repre-sents the first time in Alberta that LID isbeing used to this extent to managestormwater flows. Furthermore, the pro-ject team is implementing several fea-tures to account for Calgary’s uniqueclimate, so that the system will be opera-tional during the winter and the freeze-thaw Chinook cycle.

To avoid overloading the minor (under-ground) system, and to achieve the desiredinfiltration volumes in the stormwaterBest Management Practices (BMPs), InletControl Devices (ICDs) were provided atsome catch basins to promote infiltrationthrough the base of the catch basins duringsmaller storm events.

catch basins will operate conventionally,with attenuated peak flows controlled bythe ICDs.

To provide for ongoing performanceof the stormwater system during the Chi-nook dominated winter months, under-ground infiltration storage facilities arebeing installed in key locations to acceptstreet runoff. These facilities are not sub-ject to damage caused by freezing. Dueto their design, they will remain opera-tional even during large, rapid tempera-ture changes.

Part of the BMP system is an organiccomponent, which includes a thick layerof topsoil and compost with shrubs,perennials, or sod above. The soil mixand plant material assist with evapotran-spiration, filtration, and erosion control.The biological component also facilitatesprimary treatment prior to stormwater en-tering the existing storm sewer system.

Traditionally, park space and storm-water management have been designedand developed separately. In Currie Bar-racks they are designed together as com-plementary elements, combining LIDwith landscaping, including pathways,plazas, historical military monuments,and shrub and perennial plantings.

Modelling of LID features is a newand developing field. The modelling forthis project revealed that the size of theminor storm sewer system could be re-duced while still creating a robuststormwater management design. To en-sure a safe and reasonable design, themodelling integrated several traditional

stormwater models. The design incorporates a number of

small LID structures located throughoutthe site. These structures are connected totraditional stormwater facilities and stor-age structures, to ensure the ultimatepeak runoff rate is within the set limits.

Liaison with the City of Calgary wasrequired while adding LID technologiesto the traditional stormwater engineeringstandards. This project required a teamapproach for both design and approvals,to ensure that the LID technologies beingimplemented were acceptable to the de-veloper, engineers and regulatory bodies.

A conventional minor system is beingimplemented that will be capable of cap-turing the remaining flows up to the 1-in-5 year rainfall event. The major system,which includes overland flows when theLID facilities and minor system capaci-ties are exceeded, is capable of safely

conveying flows up to the 1-in-100 yearrecurrence event, as required by the Cityof Calgary.

In the event of failure or freeze-up, theminor and major systems are designedsuch that they will function the same wayas a conventional storm sewer system,with the attenuation of peak flows fromthe catch basin ICDs and undergroundstorage.

The ability of the system to trap, con-tain and treat contaminated stormwater,prior to entrance into the existing stormsystem, provides an additional margin ofsafety for downstream uses. This is animportant added benefit, as some of thestormwater from the site eventually flowsinto the Glenmore Reservoir, Calgary’smain source of drinking water.

flood plain, the device had to be belowthe last confluence point. The area didn’tallow for any kind of fixed infrastructure.

The Bandalong Litter Trap, availablefrom Storm Water Systems, seemed to bethe answer. In comparison to other poten-tial solutions, it is very inexpensive. Ad-ditionally, because the trap isn’t anchoredwithin the stream itself, it minimizes theamount of disturbance to the streambuffer. Anchored above the flood line, itis able to collect any floating trash and di-rect it into a basket that is extended intothe channel.

The adaptability of the product also al-lows for drastic changes in flow rate. Asthe water level changes, the trap moveswith it. During late winter and earlyspring, flow rates increase and the streamcan reach depths of 10 to 12 feet. Boomsallow the trap to work with different flowconditions.

In September 2010, ESG Incorpo-rated, the company contracted to emptythe trap for the city of Waycross, reportedthat a total of 73 cubic yards of trash hadbeen emptied from the trap in less thanfive months of operation.

The Bandalong Litter Trap has beenused for more than 15 years to captureand retain floating litter in waterways be-

the Cumberland Sound. Along the river’spath, just miles from the famed Okefeno-kee Swamp, is the city of Waycross. Thecity’s drainage canal is a Satilla Rivertributary, draining more than 8,000 acresof urban development.

Although trash in the Satilla River wasof little concern to regulators, the largevolume transferred by stormwater runoffand discharged by the canal system con-cerned local residents and the SatillaRiverkeeper.

Because there was no legal obligationto remove floatables from the river, Way-cross was severely limited in its ability toreceive federal aid. Four years earlier, thecity had applied for a state grant and wasrejected. However, it still strove to be asteward for the environment. Eventuallyfunding came from a variety of sources,including the Green Infrastructure Pactand the American Recovery and Rein-vestment Act.

Finding financial support for this pro-ject wasn’t the only bump in the road.Pairing the right system with this site wasno easy task. Because the location is in a

The key fea-tures of the system include:• Requires no mechanical assistance; uses only the natural current to passively collect floatables 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.• Device will not cause flooding.• No netting or fencing makes device safe for all aquatic wildlife.• Does not interfere with recreation.• Custom signs demonstrating anti-litter or clean water campaigns and sponsors raise awareness of the issue.• Patented tidal gate prevents trash from exiting the trap.• Site adaptable HDPE boom lengths.• Effective in high and low flow rates.• Attachable filtering media.• Can be fitted with walkways and work platforms.• Advanced anchoring and tethering.• Solar-powered lights to increase visibility for boating safety.

To date, there are over 195 BandalongLitter Traps installed worldwide. In 1995it won an Australian EPA Clean WaterAward.

has long been installed in trenchless ap-plications, or PVC (polyvinyl chloride),which has grown steadily in popularitythroughout North America.

IPEX’s CIOD (cast-iron outside diam-eter) Fusible Brute™ PVC pipe featuresfully restrained joints with a tensilestrength equal to that of the pipe. By com-bining the mechanical properties of PVCwith a patent-pending butt fusion process,this pipe can be installed in long, contin-uous trenchless applications.

“At first, the municipality was hesitantto use PVC in the trenchless application.We met with the engineering consultant,explained the differences between PVCand HDPE, showed testing and specifica-tion information, and demonstrated howFusible PVC could offer more cost-effective installation and long-term main-tenance,” recalls Alain Charky, a manufac-turer’s representative for IPEX.

With HDPE, Saint Paulin would haveto special order the pipe and use expen-sive transition fittings, due to its non-standard outer and inner diameter thatdidn’t match the existing PVC water sys-tem. In addition, HDPE’s overall weightand material for the given pressure classwould have resulted in a higher materialand installation cost.

On the other hand, Fusible PVC would

When the small agriculturalmunicipality of SaintPaulin, Québec needed toconnect several residents

to the town’s sewer and drinking watersystems for improved water quality, itwanted to ensure that it was done prop-erly, quickly and cost-effectively.

Located in the historic Trois-Rivièresarea between the cities of Montréal andQuébec, the municipality was also facedwith the challenge of running the newsewer and water pipe system under theRivière du Loup.

Recent water quality testing com-pleted on the wells of several residentsnot connected to Saint Paulin’s existingsewer and water distribution systemshowed contamination in the drinkingwater. The source of the contaminationwas thought to be traditional septic sys-tems.

Following testing, the Ministère desAffaires Municipales Québec requiredSaint Paulin to extend the water distribu-tion and sewer system to those residentsexperiencing water quality problems.With 80% funding provided by the Min-istère, Saint Paulin set out to build the newsystem. The municipality first needed todecide between using traditional HDPE(high-density polyethylene) pipe, which

allow for easy connections to the existingPVC water distribution and sewer sys-tem, via simple standard fittings, provid-ing material consistency across the entiremunicipality.

In addition to ensuring reduced initialdeployment costs, the total cost of own-ership was also a concern for a small mu-nicipality like Saint Paulin. CIOD FusiblePVC pipe is easy to maintain over the lifeof the system, because all the accessoriesare readily available and can be deployedby the town's public works employees.The Fusible PVC’s gasket-free joints andabrasion and scratch-resistant propertiesalso ensure long-term reliability and re-duced maintenance of the system.

Innovative fusion processFor the forced sewer system, Saint

Paulin used a total of 2,208 metres of 100mm pressure-rated 165 psi CIOD FusibleBrute PVC pipe (DR25). For the potabledrinking water system, they used a totalof 2,611 metres of 150 mm pressure-rated 235 psi CIOD Fusible Brute PVCpipe (DR18). For the majority of the sys-tem, the two pipes run side by side, sep-arated by approximately one metre.

Fusible Brute PVC pipe is available in12.2 metre lengths. To create longer pipelengths the fusion process incorporates aproprietary PVC formulation and a com-bination of heat, pressure and time, usingslightly modified standard industry fu-sion machines. The process is carried outby trained and licensed individuals, to en-sure consistent, reliable fusion.

Fusion time with Fusible Brute PVCis comparable to other thermoplastic ma-terials. The overall fusion of the SaintPaulin system was accomplished at anaverage of 19 joints per day. Fusion alsocan be performed in any temperature, aslong as the pipe ends are maintained at atemperature above 4°C, and both the pipeends and fusion machinery are shelteredfrom the elements.

For the Saint Paulin system, a remotefield was used as the staging area and atent was set up to shelter the fusionprocess from the elements. Under thetent, heat from the fusion machinery it-self was enough to keep the pipe ends

above 4°C. Once the fusion was com-plete, the lightweight, flexible lengths ofpipe were then simply dragged from thestaging area to the installation site.

Cost-effective, greener deploymentFor maximum cost-effectiveness and

limited disturbance for residents, SaintPaulin specified a trenchless applicationusing horizontal directional drilling(HDD) methods. HDD offers several keybenefits, including faster installation, abil-ity to place pipe under natural and man-made obstacles, and a greener, moreenvironmentally-friendly approach. UsingHDD eliminates the need to excavate atrench, which often requires tearing up as-phalt and disturbing roadways, destroyingthe surrounding natural environment, andrisking damage to other underground sys-tems. These can require significant repaircosts, after the pipe is installed.

It wasn’t just cost concerns that hadSaint Paulin specifying HDD methods. In1988, the village merged with the town-ship of Hunterstown. This increased thenumber of residents to approximately1,600. Today, Saint Paulin encompassesmore than forty farms and 90 small andmedium-sized businesses. The urban sec-tion of the original Hunterstown area iscrossed by the Rivière du Loup, whichthe new water system needed to cross, inorder to reach residents on the other side.Only HDD could be used for this 84metre section of the new water system.

HDD equipment bored two side-by-

side paths for the sewer and water pipesunder the river. When the drilling headreached the other side, it was replacedwith equipment, which pulled in the pre-fused lengths of pipe under the river. Inaddition to the 84-metre pull under the

river, the entire Saint Paulin project con-sisted of some 25 other pulls, with thelongest one being 207 metres.

The full-strength butt fusion joints ofthe Fusible Brute PVC pipe gave SaintPaulin a greater pull force rating, whichoffers safer installation in tough condi-tions for HDD trenchless applications. Inaddition, the smaller outside diameter ofthe pipe means that the drilling equip-ment can make smaller bore holes whichis faster and reduces the amount ofdrilling fluid required. In turn, this re-duces the amount of fluid waste that hasto be disposed of, making the projecteven more environmentally friendly.

After the new Saint Paulin system wasinstalled, a one hour 125 psi pressure testwas completed in accordance withASTM D-638 methods on 1,800 metresof the 150 mm pipe used for the drinkingwater distribution system. The pipepassed with no make-up water required,indicating no system leakage.




WERF awardee seeks newways to convert methane

into green fuel

The WERF Endowment for Innovation inApplied Water Quality Research presentedits 10th Annual Paul L. Busch Award toKartik Chandran, Ph.D. Chandran was se-lected for his research efforts to create aninnovative wastewater treatment technol-ogy that could make affordable resourcerecovery a reality for plants of all sizes.

The Paul L. Busch award carries withit a $100,000 research grant that will aidChandran and his team at Columbia Uni-versity as they attempt to develop a newtreatment technology that transformsplant-generated methane and carbon diox-ide, potent greenhouse gases, into thegreen fuel, methanol. The technologycould offer wastewater treatment plants amore cost-effective and environmentallyfriendly process for producing this alter-native fuel and help them address one oftheir top challenges – the reduction of ni-trogen in effluents.

Current methanol production is carriedout largely through an expensive conver-sion process that chemically catalyzes theoxidation of methane gas. Chandran’s re-

search takes an alternative and more cost-effective approach to generating methanolthrough the development of autotrophicmicrobial reactors. These reactors, whichtreatment plants can integrate into theirnormal biological treatment processes,convert the methane in digester gas straightto liquid methanol, avoiding purificationand chemically catalyzed conversion.

Successful application of this technol-ogy could also hold significant benefitsfor other areas of wastewater treatment.By integrating the microbial nitrogen andcarbon cycles, it would be possible to si-

Equalization - The equalization basinis sized to provide two days of capacity atthe design flow rate. Equalization willallow for operation of downstream sys-tems in the event of influent flow interrup-tion or short maintenance needs, retentionof peak surge flows, and smoothing of“peaks and valleys” in contaminant con-centrations.

DAF influent is treatedwith a coagulant and flocculant to provideeffective separation. A high pressure air-

Recent regulations and indus-trial water supply challengesin Trinidad and Tobago haveled to construction of an inno-

vative plant to treat oilfield producedwastewater. The 4,100 m3/day treatmentsystem, developed by Golder AssociatesLtd., will produce water suitable for in-dustrial reuse and effluent that meets thecountry’s new regulations.

Influent characteristics of the waste-water, and the projected effluent qualityand discharge criteria are presented inTable 1.

Treatment stagesThe treatment solutions include:

1. Oil-water separation – The waterfrom oil production will contain somefree oil and solids, which can be removedvia gravity separation. A conventionalcorrugated plate interceptor (CPI) willproduce three effluent streams: de-oiledwastewater, skimmed oil, and settled

saturated recycle stream is then intro-duced. When the recycle stream mixeswith incoming influent, micro bubblesare released and attach to the suspendedsolids and emulsified oil and grease.

Floatable solids form a blanket ofsludge that is skimmed from the surfaceof the DAF unit and managed as a waste.Heavier solids are trapped in a clarifierplate pack and removed as a settledsludge. Both DAF wastes are transferredto a waste basin for additional settling/separation. DAF-treated effluent ispumped to the cooling tower prior to ad-ditional treatment.4. Cooling - The temperature of the in-coming produced water can be as high as46oC. Cooling of the water to 27oC to32oC is required prior to biotreatment. Aset of six induced draft cooling towers,configured in three parallel trains of twounits each, will be used to provide thenecessary cooling. Cooling tower influ-

ents typically require pretreatment to in-hibit biogrowth and inorganic scale accu-mulation on the tower packing.

Benefits of biocides and anti-scalentswere weighed against possible impacts onthe subsequent biotreatment step. Cool-ing equipment was selected for its opera-tional flexibility, ease of cleaning, and theability to operate without the need forchemicals.5. Biotreatment/settling - Aerobic fixedfilm biotreatment will be used to removedissolved organic compounds measuredas biochemical and chemical oxygen de-mand (BOD/COD). Bioreactor influent

is pumped from the DAF through thecooling tower to four immobilized cellbioreactors (ICBs). The ICB technologyuses a patented high surface area packingmaterial installed in four 250,000 gallonsteel tanks as a packed bed. Two levels offiberglass grating support the packingmedia.

Air will be introduced from a series of150 HP centrifugal blowers, through adiffuser network installed below the grat-ing. Metering pumps will add bionutri-ents (nitrogen and phosphate) based ontreatment flow rate.

The immobilized cell bioreactor, orig-

inally commercialized by Honeywell In-ternational in the mid-1990s, is an ad-vanced fixed-film bioreactor thatprovides a high rate of organics removalfrom wastewater. Also, it produces up to75 percent less sludge than other biolog-ical treatment processes. Long biologicalsolids retention time (up to 150 days)within the ICB system is the key to betterprocess stability and lower waste solidsformation. Because biological solids arenot easily washed out of the bioreactors,they do not significantly contribute tototal suspended solids (TSS) or sludge

a settling basin for removal of any excessbiosolids.

The ICB technology was tested andproven using a bench pilot system.Bionutrient requirements, pH adjustmentrequirements, and hydraulic retentiontime were determined during this testingand used as design inputs for the full-scale system. The bench testing programdemonstrated essentially complete BODremoval and consistent reduction of CODto <240 mg/L. It has been concluded thatthe balance of the COD is refractory andnot biodegradable, and would not bebioavailable in a receiving water environ-ment.6. Prefiltration/reverse osmosis - Thefinal step in the process is reverse osmo-sis which removes dissolved solids toconcentrations acceptable for boiler sys-tem reuse. A vendor-packaged system,including prefiltration, reverse osmosisand ancillary equipment, was procured tosimplify system integration.

formation.Excess bacterial biomass within the

ICB becomes a food source for otherhigher life forms, which devour the lowerforms of bacteria. All the bacteria devournew organics arriving in the influentwaste stream. The net result is a greateroverall conversion of soluble organic pol-lutants to carbon dioxide and water, andless conversion to biological solids.

The ICB system has several distin-guishing features when compared withother fixed-film biological processes.The heart of the technology is a mixtureof two very different substrata for immo-bilization of the bioreactor biomass. Oneof the immobilizing substrata is highlyreticulated polyurethane foam in the formof two-inch blocks. This component pro-vides a high surface area for biomass col-onization, up to 210 ft2 per ft3 of foam.

Once the bioreactor is fully colonized,these foam blocks are completely filledwith biomass to a depth of at least one-inch. This gives the foam blocks a veryhigh biomass density and, due to thehighly immobilized nature of this bio-mass, a very long solids retention time.

Incoming flow will be split betweentwo bioreactors operated in parallel. Flowfrom the two lead bioreactors will be re-combined and flow through two addi-tional bioreactors operated in series.Biotreated effluent will flow by gravity to



continuously backwash at a flow rate ofabout five percent of the forward flow.Backwash water will be collected andtransferred to the settling basin.

Reverse osmosis systems are typicallyprotected with elaborate pretreatmentsystems to maximize system operationbetween membrane cleaning cycles. Thedesign philosophy for this part of the sys-tem is minimal pretreatment based on atradeoff between pretreatment complex-ity and membrane cleaning/maintenance.The reverse osmosis system consists ofthree parallel trains of membrane mod-ules, with two on-line at all times.

A relatively low target reverse osmosisrecovery of 50 percent is used as a designcriteria consistent with projected per-formance due to elevated silica levels inthe incoming wastewater. The concentra-tion of COD in the brine will be approx-imately double the projected biotreatedeffluent concentration of 240 mg/L.While this will exceed the near shore dis-charge limit of 250 mg/L, the actual massload discharged to the ocean is no differ-ent than if the full biotreated flow (with-out reverse osmosis) were to be

discharged. Consideration has been givenin the permitting process to a mass loadstandard rather than an end-of-pipe nu-merical concentration criteria. 7. Effluent storage/transfer - Reverse

osmosis permeate will be held in a283 m3 tank, prior to transfer to the pointof industrial reuse. Final pH adjustmentof the treated water will be made prior to

the transfer. Real-time chemical analyz-ers will be used to monitor conductivity,COD, and oil and grease, and will auto-matically divert off-specification waterback to the equalization basin. Reverseosmosis brine will also be stored prior totransfer for near shore ocean discharge.

ConclusionThis advanced treatment system will

provide several important benefits. Inlanddischarge of minimally-treated producedwater will be eliminated, reducing poten-tial environmental and public health con-cerns. The end user of the recycled waterwill gain a new source of industrial waterwith a resulting decrease in demand forfresh water.

The success of Trinidad and Tobago’sfirst foray into treatment of producedwater could lead to additional facilities inother oil field locations, expanding theeconomic and environmental benefits ofwater reuse.

additional guidance. As a result, guidanceon the issuance of subsection 35 (2) au-thorizations is to be found in a policyframework, beginning with the 1986 Pol-icy for the Management of Fish Habitat.

This policy establishes that impacts ofhuman activities on fish habitat will begoverned by the principle of “no net lossof productive capacity of habitats”(NNL).

Applying the no net loss principleThe habitat policy states that the con-

servation of fish habitat will be guided bythe NNL principle. This principle is in-tended to guide departmental officials inbalancing unavoidable losses of fish habi-tat with replacement of fish habitat on aproject-by-project basis. Thus, reductionsto Canada’s fisheries resources, due tohabitat loss or damage, can be prevented.

According to the habitat policy, theNNL principle should not be interpretedas a statutory requirement to be met at all

The concept of habitat bankingwas first introduced in theUnited States in the mid-1980sto compensate for losses of

wetland habitat to new development.Since the introduction of habitat bankingfor wetlands (termed “mitigation bank-ing” in the US), the practice, known asconservation banking, has expanded toinclude compensation for losses ofspecies at risk habitat.

The first habitat bank in Canada wasdeveloped in 1993 in the North FraserHarbour in Vancouver. In recent years,various other countries have begun devel-oping similar habitat banking programsand numerous habitat banks are now op-erational internationally.

Canada’s Fisheries Act, administeredby Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO),provides the authority to regulate the im-pact of development projects on fishhabitat in all Canadian fresh and marinefisheries waters.

Section 34 of the Act defines fishhabitat as “spawning grounds, and nurs-ery, rearing, food supply and migrationareas on which fish depend directly or in-directly in order to carry out their lifeprocesses.” Section 35 (1) states that “noperson shall carry on any work or under-taking that results in the harmful alter-ation, disruption or destruction of fishhabitat” (commonly referred to as aHADD). Section 35 (2) provides that “noperson contravenes subsection (1) bycausing the alteration, disruption or de-struction of fish habitat by any means orunder any conditions authorized by theMinister or under regulations made by theGovernor in Council under this Act.”

Prior to issuing a subsection 35 (2) au-thorization, DFO officials must ensurethat an environmental assessment is con-ducted under the Canadian Environmen-tal Assessment Act or other processes inthe North, and that the duty to consultAboriginal groups and, if applicable, therequirements of the Species at Risk Actare met.

The Fishery General Regulationsspecify the form for applying for and is-suing an authorization, but do not provide

costs and in all circumstances. It furtherstates that fisheries management objec-tives and plans, either on a fish stock-spe-cific or geographic area basis, will be themajor consideration for deciding whereto apply this guiding principle, and, also,what offsetting proposals would be ac-ceptable to achieve no net loss.

The habitat policy indicates that theNNL principle is to be applied to pro-posed works and undertakings and is notretroactively applied to approved or com-pleted projects.

The habitat policy outlines proceduresto apply the NNL principle. The proce-dures define the hierarchy of preferencesto achieve a no net loss of productive ca-pacity, where the fisheries resources andits supporting habitat are put at risk by aproposed development project. The pref-erence is to avoid any loss or harm at thesite of the proposed project site throughredesign, use of alternative location or

Ecosystem Managementmitigation techniques.

Only after it proves impossible or im-practical to maintain the same level ofproductive capacity of fish habitat wouldcompensation measures be explored tooffset loss or harm to fish habitat result-ing from the project.

Compensation is defined as: “The re-placement of natural habitat, increase inthe productivity of existing habitat, ormaintenance of fish production by artifi-cial means in circumstances dictated bysocial and economic conditions, wheremitigation techniques and other measuresare not adequate to maintain habitats forCanada’s fisheries resources.”

The costs associated with definingand implementing compensation meas-ures are the responsibility of the projectproponent. The procedures also state thatDFO will apply the NNL guiding princi-ple to achieve its conservation goal usingexisting project regulatory review and en-vironmental assessment processes in ac-cordance with six steps. These includenotification, examination, public consul-tation, decision, audit and enforcement.The decision step also includes guidanceon appeals for persons who believe theyhave been aggrieved by a decision madeby departmental staff.

Building on the principles and proce-dures of the habitat policy, the HabitatCompensation Guide was published in2002. It provides guidance in applyingfair and consistent decisions on compen-sation, in order to achieve a no net loss ofproductive capacity of fish habitat con-

sistent with the habitat policy, while rec-ognizing the need for local discretion.

The guide provides further directionon the hierarchy of compensation options,including exceptions to the compensationhierarchy. It includes guidance on deter-mining the amount of compensationrequired; monitoring, enforcement, finan-cial security, restoration of orphaned sites;habitat banking; measures of last resort(artificial propagation, deferred compen-sation and restoration of contaminatedsites); and authorizing compensation.

As part of its cycle for evaluating ex-isting policies, DFO is reviewing and re-vising the Habitat Compensation Guideto address implementation issues andconsider new thinking about fish habitatcompensation. An important element ofthe review will be to consider develop-ment and experiences with the concept offish habitat banking and to develop fur-ther guidance on its application as an in-tegral part of a new operational policy onfish habitat compensation.

The habitat compensation optionmost often employed in Canada is thecreation of in-kind habitat following theauthorization of a HADD. As outlined inthe habitat policy, this typically occurson a project-by-project basis. Develop-ers are required to create or increase theproductive capacity of fish habitat eitheron- or off-site through a number of po-tential management interventions suchas stream restoration, controlling inva-sive species, or removing and replacingman-made physical barriers such as

that holds strong potential to provide morepredictable and effective outcomes fromfish habitat compensation in Canada. Al-though habitat banks have been estab-lished in several provinces (Nova Scotia,Québec, Manitoba, Alberta and BritishColumbia), the practice is not widely usedas a compensation option for HADD au-thorizations.

The Habitat Compensation Guideidentifies habitat banking as one optionfor fish habitat compensation to offset aHADD authorization. The guide simplydefines habitat banking as: “The comple-tion of compensation prior to a subsec-tion 35(2) Authorization being issuedwhere a proponent creates or improveshabitat for future use as compensation.”

Although the Habitat CompensationGuide describes some elements of habitatbanking and provides a basic definition,Canada lacks a comprehensive definitionof habitat banking.

SENES Consultants and High ParkGroup (HPG) are currently working onan industry funded initiative with the pur-pose of establishing a rationale and pathforward for the advancement of habitatbanking as a key tool in compensating fordevelopment impacts in Canada.

The Town of Ajax, Ontario, onthe north shore of Lake On-tario, was named for the HMSAjax, a Royal Navy cruiser

that gained fame in several key naval bat-tles of World War II. The ship, in turn,was named for the figure from ancientGreek mythology, famous for hisstrength and courage in battle. The towngrew up around a defense plant estab-lished in 1941 to make shells for the wareffort. Today, Ajax boasts a population ofover 90,000.

The Ajax Water Supply Plant treatsand distributes water for the Town of Ajaxand the nearby City of Pickering. The op-erations staff of 25 manages two othertreatment plants that supply the City ofOshawa and, through a remote system,the Town of Whitby. The staff also man-ages a dozen pumping stations, reservoirsand elevated tanks in the region.

The Ajax plant requires approximately2 megawatts (MW) of continuous powerduring peak water demand to supply the150,000 customers it serves. Althoughlocal utility power is reliable, standbypower generators are mandated by theOntario Ministry of the Environment(MOE).

Water hammer and other problemsLike many water treatment plants,

Ajax has reservoirs and elevated storagefor backup water supply. However, whenthe utility power goes out, problems canresult in the plant and system. PeterCameron, District Supervisor of PlantOperations, cited examples: “Water ham-mer occurs, caused by the flow stoppageand reversal. This can damage watermains and result in customer complaintsdue to disrupted service. At the controlcenter, you get a tremendous influx ofalarms, which can distract attention fromconditions that require more immediateaction. The entire plant can be disrupted.”

Cummins Ontario delivered one 350kW and two 1500 kW generator sets,along with automatic transfer switchesand paralleling switchgear. These digitalsystems parallel and synchronize the gen-erator sets with each other and with theutility. There are paralleling controlsmounted on the generator sets, as well asa separate digital master control unit forsupervisory functions.

For security reasons, the managers atthe Ajax facility wanted the generator setsto provide read-only monitoring in thecontrol room. This precaution preventsinadvertent changes or accidental com-mand execution during emergencies.

open spaces are given over to develop-ment projects such as an office park orretail development. Therefore, it is imper-ative that today’s transportation designersand planners balance the need to improveroadways and other transportation facili-ties with the need to protect and maintainenvironmental resources. Such effectiveplanning will ensure that today’s trans-portation investments remain one ofsociety’s most important contributors toenvironmental enhancement.

Pollutants and water qualityA highway’s surface water runoff and

drainage systems are quite different fromthose normally featured in a site devel-opment. For the most part, the amount ofcontaminants carried by the surfacewater runoff increases with the volumeof daily traffic. Salting and sanding prac-tices leave residual concentrations ofchloride, sodium and calcium on a road-way surface. Meanwhile, vehicles dropoil, grease, rust, hydrocarbons, rubberparticles and other solid materials ontothe pavement at higher concentrationsthan typically experienced with surfaceparking areas in a shopping mall.

Today’s highway projects usually fea-ture stormwater management design ele-

Modern transportation pro-jects, such as highways,create a number of positiveoutcomes, from enhancing

the connections between existing com-munities, to advancing future develop-ment and economic growth. At the sametime, the negative impacts that a trans-portation project can have, particularly onthe environment, are extremely importantand cannot be overlooked.

When new corridors are cleared fortransportation projects, they often affectmassive tracts of land, removing theseacres from other uses, including passiverecreation. Also, natural resource areas,including meadows, wetlands and forests,are sometimes lost, greatly reducingwildlife habitat for fish and game, andrare and endangered species.

And, of course, there is the issue ofpollution. Vehicle emissions negativelyaffect outdoor and indoor air quality. Thepotential for water and land pollution isalso significant, as chemicals and parti-cles released by vehicles, through runofffrom impervious surfaces, can degradethe quality of soil, lakes and streams.

Many would argue that our overallquality of life declines as more of our

ments, such as bioswales and filter strips,that address runoff of pollutants andwater quality issues.

Bioswales are vegetated stormwatercollection areas strategically placedwithin medians or parallel to a road.Stormwater captured in the bioswale iscollected and slowly treated with spe-cially engineered soils and plants beforeit infiltrates the ground. Filter strips arevegetated areas that slow stormwaterrunoff velocities, filter out floating par-ticulates (such as sediment and other pol-lutants) and provide infiltration intounderlying soils.

A wetland’s place in the natural worldis a crucial one; it serves many functions,including stormwater retention and water-quality improvement. Wetland mitigationis another way to address stormwaterrunoff issues along highway corridors. Itoften refers to the act of replacing thefunction and value of an affected wetlandby creating, restoring or enhancing a wet-land in another suitable location that in-cludes consideration of groundwater,soils, plantings and other features.

Finally, designers and planners aremaking use of filtering systems that in-clude features such as a sedimentation

Emissions from construction vehicles,equipment and generators include carbondioxide, as well as fine particulate-matterpollution, especially from diesel equip-ment, which contributes to asthma and al-lergies and is listed as a probablecarcinogen. In addition, vehicles createdust from paved and unpaved roads andfurther affect air quality when idling inheavy construction zones.

Increasingly, construction documentsare requiring the use of diesel particulatefilters on all diesel-powered vehicles.These filters are positioned in the exhauststreams of diesel vehicles to collect andstore particulate emissions. Constructionequipment that utilizes cleaner-burningdiesel fuels is also becoming popular inthe quest to improve air quality.

Other methods include:• Establishing separate generator sitesand truck-staging zones for vehicles wait-ing to load and unload materials. Suchzones are located where diesel emissionshave the least impact on abutters, the gen-eral public and particularly sensitive re-ceptors (hospitals, schools, housing forthe elderly, etc.).• Prohibiting vehicles from leaving con-struction sites with mud and dirt on theirbodies or wheels, a prime contributor todust. This is done by temporary wheel-wash stations.• Further controlling dust through the useof wet suppression and soil stabilizers.Wet suppression calls for the applicationof water or a wetting agent in solutionwith water. Soil stabilizers are environ-mentally safe, water-soluble chemicalsthat increase compaction and soil density.• Providing wind screens, which are oftenattached to construction fences, andwooden wind barriers in locations wherethey are effective in minimizing wind

erosion and the spread of dust. Also, plac-ing tarps on stockpiles, secured withsandbags or an equivalent method.

Effective planning for transportationprojects looks beyond concrete and as-phalt. It involves identifying the environ-mental characteristics of the area affectedby a project; creating solutions to avoidand/or minimize direct impacts on valu-able resources; developing thoughtful ac-tions to mitigate and enhance existingconditions, where practical; and control-

ling and managing the constructionprocess in an environmentally friendlyfashion.

When project development truly suc-ceeds, the resulting projects satisfy thetransportation objectives, while also en-hancing complementary transportationmodes and quality of life.

Corrosion

below the water line over time. Above the water line, reduction in the

pH of concrete will also take place, butfor a different reason. Sulphates (SO4

2-)contained in wastewater are converted bymicrobiological activity to hydrogen sul-phide gas, which escapes and, in the pres-ence of bacteria and oxygen, is convertedby microbiological activity to sulphuricacid on the surface of the concrete. Thesulphuric acid attacks and penetrates theconcrete and reduces its pH. In additionto acid attack, the formation of water-sol-uble gypsum and expansive ettringite alsocontribute to concrete deterioration.

PH reduction of the concrete de-pas-sivates the reinforcing steel, resulting incorrosion, expansion of corrosion prod-ucts, concrete cracking, spalling and evenstructural failure as shown in Figure 1.

Gemite Products Inc., through its sub-sidiary Gemite Romania, has been in-volved in the restoration of a number ofwastewater treatment facilities in Roma-nia. Extensive non-destructive investiga-tion of these structures was carried out,

evaluating the rate of corrosion of thereinforcing steel, half-cell potential meas-urements, concrete resistance, compres-sive strength, concrete cover, carbonationdepth, hydraulic permeability, and meas-urement of the pH profile throughout thewall of the clarifiers.

Figure 2 shows the typical state of areinforced concrete wastewater treatmentfacility in Botosani, Romania, after ap-proximately 50 years of service life. Thishigh level of deterioration is not normallyexhibited by similar structures in Canada.In Botosani, it was mainly due to poor-quality construction, specifically low

Reinforced concrete is typicallyused in the construction ofmunicipal wastewater treat-ment facilities and associated

structures such as sewer systems, man-holes and lift (pumping) stations. In mostcases, it is left unprotected and exposedto wastewater.

Properly constructed structures, usinggood-quality concrete and sufficientcover of the reinforcing steel, last a longtime. There will not be much deteriora-tion even after 40 to 50 years. But servicelife is considerably shorter with poor-quality concrete, low concrete cover onthe reinforcing steel, and inferior con-struction. Major restoration of thesestructures is expensive.

Designing wastewater structures for aservice life of 100 years or more, whichis double their usual service life, will re-duce restoration costs. In order to do this,we need to be concerned not just withprotection of the concrete and water-proofing, but also protection of the rein-forcing steel.

Reinforcing steel embedded in con-crete is protected against corrosion by thehigh pH of concrete. This is initiallyaround 13.8 and about 12 to 13 in thelong term, which provides a chemicalpassivation of the reinforcing steel.

To protect the steel, we need to preventthe reduction of the pH in the long term.Wastewater contains a number of acidicmaterials, such as uric, acetic and lacticacids and other chemicals such as sul-phates, phosphates and chlorides. Eventhough the pH of wastewater is typicallyclose to 7, the presence of acids can causea reduction in the pH of the concrete

cover on the reinforcing steel and, insome areas, low concrete quality and lackof freeze/thaw resistance standards (airentrainment) at the time of construction.

Figure 3 shows coring of the clarifierwall. Three cores were taken at this struc-ture for measurement and the pH profilewas determined using pH indicating so-lution. Table 1 shows the relationship be-tween the colour of the concrete afterapplication of the pH indicator and thepH of the concrete. The structure was 45years old at the time of investigation, andthe compressive strength varied from 20to 26 MPa.

Figure 4 shows the cores after appli-cation of the pH indicating solution. ThepH variation as a function of depth isshown in Table 1.

The results are the average of threecores. They clearly indicate that acidicconditions exist below the water line ofthe clarifier, which in time reduce the pHof concrete, resulting in loss of steel pas-sivation and corrosion of the reinforcingsteel. There are no measurements fromdigesters above the water line. But, it issafe to assume they will be similar, if not

worse, since the sulphuric acid formedby the microbiological conversion of hy-drogen sulphide is considerably strongerwhen compared with acidic materialsbelow the water line.

Using polymer coatingsOne approach to the protection of

concrete in wastewater treatment facili-ties is the application of polymer coat-ings such as epoxies, urethanes orpolyureas to the surface of the concrete.While these materials exhibit excellentchemical resistance, they also have manydisadvantages when applied to concreteexposed to a wet environment. They aresensitive to moisture in concrete duringapplication and, as effective vapour bar-riers, are not breathable.

It is difficult to create a polymer layerapplied to concrete that is completely freeof “pin holes” and cracks. Water pene-trates through those imperfections andcapillary pressures at the interface de-bond the polymer coating. This processoccurs in any structure where concrete iscoated with a polymer in a continuouslywet environment.

Even when there is complete cover

with the coating and no pin holes, de-bonding may still occur due to watervapour transfer from behind the coatingand water condensation at the coatingconcrete interface. The capillary pres-sures are high and could cause de-bond-ing of the coating from the concretesurface.

Another solution for the protection ofconcrete structures in wastewater treat-ment environments is to use polymer-modified cement coatings such asCem-Kote Flex ST and Cem-Kote FlexCR. The high level of polymer modifica-tion provides excellent chemical resist-ance and flexibility, while the cementcontent makes these coatings “breath-able,” allowing water evaporation andthe release of possible capillary pressuresat the interface.

The Portland cement-based Flex STproduct is used in all applications withminimum concentrations of hydrogensulphide, while Flex CR is used wherehigher concentrations of hydrogen sul-phide are expected, such as roofed clari-fiers, digesters, pumping stations, sewers

and manholes. Chemical resistance ofCem-Kote Flex CR to microbiologicallyformed sulphuric acid has been exten-sively tested in the test chamber of theMoscow Vodokanal in Russia, which hasa high hydrogen sulphide environment,.

Both Flex ST and CR are easy toapply, and tools and equipment can becleaned simply by washing with water.They are two-component materials, con-sisting of dry bagged powders and a liq-

uid polymer additive supplied in a plasticcontainer. The two components aremixed on-site using a conventional elec-tric paddle mixer, or mortar mixer, andapplied in two coats by brushing orspraying to a total thickness of 1.6 to 2mm. In new construction, a high pressurewash is sufficient to clean existing con-crete.

Smaller “bug-holes” are coated overwith Flex ST/CR, and larger ones are

pre-filled with the same material mixedwith less of the liquid component to ob-tain a trowel consistency. Any shrinkagecracks are treated with Reinforcing Fab-ric NW, which provides waterproofingeven if the crack bridging capacity ofFlex ST/CR is exceeded. Several typesof equipment, including peristaltic andpositive displacement pumps may beused for the spraying.

WA ST for wet shotcrete process appli-cation, are applied in thicknesses varyingfrom 1 to 5 cm, depending on the degreeof deterioration. A leveling layer is re-quired to repair the surface and providea smooth surface to minimize pin holesin the application.

Spray-Con WS ST was also a part ofthe testing program in Russia and exhib-ited good resistance to the micro-biologically induced corrosion (MIC)environment. These fibre-reinforced ma-terials are insensitive to the presence ofmoisture in the concrete substrate andthe fibre reinforcement provides a highertoughness and greater degree of sub-strate crack bridging than non-reinforcedmaterials.

Protecting metal partsWastewater facilities, manholes, and

sewer systems also contain metal partsthat require corrosion protection. Gemitehas been successfully using a cement-based corrosion-protective coating, Fibre-Prime, which does not require the veryclean “white metal” surface and requiresonly loose rust removal. It is completely

insensitive even to surface moisture pres-ent on the metal parts.

For additional protection to MIC,Cem-Kote Flex CR can be applied overFibre-Prime. The advantages of Fibre-Prime are also important in the corrosionprotection of exposed reinforcing steel inthe restoration of reinforced concretestructures.

Figure 8 shows an early project inBedford, Nova Scotia. The severelycracked concrete tank was first coatedwith a 12-mm layer of wet shotcrete ap-plied, fibre-reinforced mortar Gem-CreteHDO and coated with two coats of Cem-Kote Flex ST. The project was carriedout in 1993 and an investigation last yearshowed that the repair and crack sealingare functioning very well.

Canada, between 2008 and 2009 the aver-age employment rate fell faster foroff-reserve Aboriginal people than fornon-Aboriginal people. As a result, thegap in employment rates between the twogroups widened from 3.5 percentagepoints in 2008 to 4.8 in 2009.

With the recent downturn inthe economy, it has beendifficult for a number ofCanadians to find work.

Aboriginal people, however, are amonga few select groups that are finding it es-pecially hard.

In a study conducted by Statistics

and private agencies have been workingtogether on projects that will remedy thesituation. There are now 34 federal depart-ments and private agencies currently in-volved in Aboriginal and northernprograms and services. The most recentagency is the Contaminates Remedia-tion Training Organization of Canada(CRTOC).

The CRTOC was created in 2009,when a consortium of Aboriginal organi-zations and businesses, post-secondaryinstitutions, private sector businesses, andthe environmental sector council of ECOCanada, came together to help increaseemployment within the Aboriginal popu-lation through environmental training.Funded in part by the Aboriginal Skillsand Employment Partnership program(ASEP), through Human Resources andSkills Development Canada (HRSDC),CRTOC set out to promote long-term em-ployment of Aboriginal residents in thecontaminated sites remediation sector.

The liner is made up of two concen-tric, tubular, plain-weave polyester jack-ets with the inner jacket bonded onto apolyurethane elastomer. Jackets are im-pregnated with a curable polymeric resin.The resulting composite material linerhas mechanical properties exceedingASTM F1216 and ASTM F1743 recom-mendations for fully-deteriorated pipe.

Prior to insertion of the Aqua Pipeliner, the host conduit must be cleanedto remove accumulated scale and rust(tuberculation), and service connectionslocated and mapped. A mechanical robotequipped with a camera is inserted intothe rehabilitated conduit and activatedby an operator using a remote controland television unit. The liner is impreg-nated on-site and pulled into place by awinch, before being formed usingsponges and pressurized water.

As the temperature gradually in-creases to the desired level, the epoxycures, creating a solid composite withthe liner. The robot is then equipped with

Although the dig-and-replacemethod for installing under-ground utilities has beenwidely accepted for decades,

with growing awareness of global warm-ing and the need to reduce airborneemissions, trenchless methods are be-coming more common, particularly incongested environments. The cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) methodology offers anumber of environmental and other ad-vantages for water main rehabilitation.

Deterioration of water main pipes isa major concern. Most structures builtprior to the early 1970s had water mainlines composed of predominantly cast orductile iron. With these materials, tuber-culation takes place over time, causingthe pipe to lose some or all of its struc-tural integrity.

City water pressure may be anywherefrom 30 to 120 psi, so even a small crackin the water main can lead to a leak andeventually a break. Repairing a burstpipe will cost money, but water damageresulting from uncontrolled leaks caneasily cost more. Water main breaks are,of course, more common in the winterseason, because of freezing.

Benefits of CIPP technologyGoing trenchless can cut the cost of re-

habilitating pipes in half, including tem-porary restoration, valves, fire hydrantsand other miscellaneous replacements.Customers also know they are doing theirpart to preserve the environment.

A carbon footprint study was con-ducted last year at Fer-Pal’s Yorkvillesite in central Toronto, using a calculatoroffered by the North American Societyfor Trenchless Technology. It allowsplanners to estimate carbon emissionsfrom traditional open-cut excavationsand various trenchless methodologies,based on the machinery required to re-move, dispose of and replace soil, aswell as traffic disruptions.

The project in Yorkville consisted ofstructurally rehabilitating 2,500 m of 150-mm-diameter pipe. A typical project ofsuch length would take 16 weeks of open-cut technology compared to between fiveand six weeks using CIPP technology.

The liner is impregnated on-site and pulled into place by a winch.

What was remarkable, though, wasthe fact that most local businesses wereable to remain open throughout the en-tire project, in an area that is heavilypopulated with both vehicles and pedes-trians. The City of Toronto even had theluxury of asking Fer-Pal to leave the siteduring the Toronto International FilmFestival and to return to work upon itsconclusion.

Looking back on the project, a totalcarbon dioxide emission of 250 tonneswould probably have been recorded if anopen-cut methodology had been se-lected. This would have been brokendown into: pollution due to traffic - 24tonnes; trucks required to ferry dirt backand forth - 99 tonnes; machines - 54tonnes; material footprint - 72 tonnes.

Using CIPP methodology, an esti-mated 5 tonnes of greenhouse gas wereemitted over the length of the project - asaving of 98%.

Trenchless technology has other en-vironmental benefits, as roads do nothave to be torn up. It can also be used toreinstate or upgrade water services thatrun from city streets to homes, withoutthe need to dig up lawns and cut downtrees. The dig-and-replace method re-quires disposal of the old iron pipe,whereas CIPP technology keeps the oldpipe, thus reducing waste.

Besides the environmental advan-tages, structurally rehabilitated pipe pro-vides an increase in hydraulic carryingcapacity, is corrosion-proof, and has a

life expectancy of 50 years or more. Theliner can negotiate through multiplebends, which facilitates the rehabilita-tion of water mains underneath creeks,highways, railroads and bridges.

operated at relatively less stringent efflu-ent criteria for cBOD5, TSS and TP, andwith no requirement for nitrification,Norfolk County was asked by the Min-istry of the Environment (MOE) to con-duct a stress test of the WWTP to confirmthat it could handle the increased load-ings, while meeting the more stringent ef-fluent criteria at the proposed flow.

Stress-test work planA work plan for stress testing was de-

veloped based on the MOE’s GuidanceManual for Sewage Treatment PlantProcess Audits, and on the proposed ef-fluent quality parameters presented in theLynn River assimilative capacity study.The stress test work plan was prepared byR.V. Anderson Associates and reviewedby the MOE. Calibrated BioWin modelsfor Plant 1 and Plant 2 were developedfrom the historical operational and per-formance data for both plants.

Subsequently, the normal operatingconditions of the plants were identified,and improvements in the operating strat-egy, with respect to consistent nitrifica-tion, were recommended, based on thecalibrated BioWin model.

A test protocol was developed withplant operations staff to outline the pro-gram and solicit suggestions for improve-ment to overcome any potential obstacles.

The Simcoe Wastewater Treat-ment Plant was originally com-missioned in the 1960s andupgraded in the mid ’70s. At

the existing plant site, the facilities can begenerally described as an activated sludgesystem with two separate process trains,called Plant 1 and Plant 2, with each plantcapable of operating independently of theother. They have a common headworksand tertiary treatment facility.

Plant 1, built in 1962, is the older ofthe two plants, treating approximately2,600 m3/day. Plant 2 was completed in1979 to meet future development needs.The two plants operated in parallel untilPlant 1 was closed in 1996 because of itspoor condition. Plant 2, with a design ca-pacity of 12,729 m3/d, operated aloneuntil 2009.

In the Norfolk Water and WastewaterMaster Plan (2006) it was established thatthe capacity of the Simcoe WWTPneeded to be increased from the existing12,729 m3/d to 15,400 m3/d to meet thedevelopment requirements for the next 20years. A Class Environmental Assess-ment (EA) for capacity upgrade wascompleted in 2008, which recommendedrehabilitation of Plant 1 to achieve the re-quired capacity. Plant 1 was then refur-bished and recommissioned and has sincebeen running in conjunction with Plant 2.

Further, as part of the Class EA, an as-similative capacity study of the LynnRiver was conducted in 2008, in order topredict the potential impact of the in-creased plant effluent flows on the qualityof the river water. The study concludedthat the plant would not be detrimental tothe water quality in the river, provided theeffluent loadings at the proposed rated ca-pacity were maintained at their existinglevel.

This translated into not only strictereffluent criteria for carbonaceous bio-chemical oxygen demand (cBOD5), totalsuspended solids (TSS) and total phos-phorus (TP) in comparison to the old Cer-tificate of Approval, but also establishedlimits on total ammonia nitrogen in theeffluent.

Since the plant had historically been

The recommended changes in theprocess were executed by operating staffbefore starting the stress test.

Each train was stress tested for a pe-riod of six weeks during different periodsof the year. Plant 1 was tested fromMarch to April 2010 (winter), while Plant2 was tested from May to August 2010(summer).

The first four weeks of stress testingfor each plant consisted of steady-stateoperation in which the tested train wasrun at its respective target average dayflows (Table 1) and subjected to diurnalvariations proportional to the overallWWTP influent variations.

During the next two weeks of thestress test, each train was run at the sameoperating conditions as in steady state,except that it was also subjected to thetarget hydraulic peak (Table 1) by manu-ally increasing the flow to the train forover one hour each day during these twoweeks.

Plant operation was closely monitoredduring the entire stress test period. Therecorded parameters included influentand effluent flows, return activated sludge(RAS) and waste activated sludge (WAS)flows, mixed liquor TSS and RAS TSS,and sludge volume index (SVI), on adaily basis, five days a week.

ing the hydraulic peak testing phase wereachieved by shutting down one of the twooperating trains in Plant 2 for a period ofmore than one hour every day during thisphase of testing.

The effluent limits and objectives forthe increased rated capacity of the Sim-coe WWTP are given in Table 2.

Performance of Plant 1The calibrated BioWin model was

generated from actual field operating andperformance data for Plant 1, which wasused to predict the performance of theplant under a minimum winter tempera-ture of 10°C and average summer tem-perature of 16°C, in order to check the

plant’s ability to meet the effluent criteriaof ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) underthese conditions.

The discrepancy in the actual andmodeled effluent NH3-N values is be-cause the actual field data includes someinconsistently high effluent NH3-N val-ues on certain days, caused by shockloads received at the plant during stresstesting, whereas the modeled perform-ance is based on consistent and steadyloads with no fluctuations in influentloadings and, therefore, consistently loweffluent NH3-N.

Average secondary effluent character-istics from Plant 1 for the five weeks ofstress testing are well below effluent lim-its for all parameters, including BOD5,TSS, NH3-N, TP and CFU (colony form-ing units). Further, the average effluentNH3-N even meets the winter objectiveof 3.0 mg/L, even though the plant wasoperated at an average flow of 3,276m3/d, or 23% more than the requiredstress flow of 2,671 m3/d.

The simulation shows that Plant 1 hasenough capacity to handle the requiredstress loads, as secondary effluent meets

Plant two’s secondary clarifiers.

final effluent objectives for BOD andNH3-N, and meets effluent limits for TSSand TP under both winter (10°C) andsummer (16°C) conditions.

Performance of Plant 2Using actual field operating and per-

formance data, the calibrated BioWinmodel predicted the performance of Plant2 under a worst winter temperature of10°C and a target flow of 12,729 m3/d.

Average secondary effluent BOD5and TP from Plant 2 are well below theeffluent limits. Tertiary filters capturedthe solids in secondary effluent, bringingthe final effluent TSS to 3 mg/L which isbelow the effluent objective for TSS.

Average effluent NH3-N of 1.25 mg/Lwas observed to be higher than the efflu-ent limit of 1.0 mg/L for summer. Themain reason for this was the operatingflow of 14,600 m3/d, which is 15% higherthan the target stress test flow of 12,729m3/d for Plant 2.

On the other hand, simulated per-formance of Plant 2 at 12,729 m3/dshowed that the plant can be operated ata higher SRT of 10d at these loadings,thereby achieving effluent NH3-N of 0.49

mg/L, which is 0.31 mg/L lower than the0.8 mg/L achieved at 14,600 m3/d. Basedon this observation, average effluentNH3-N concentration under field condi-tions would be 0.94 mg/L (lower by 0.31mg/L) at 12,729 m3/d, compared to 1.25mg/L observed at 14,600 m3/d. There-fore, it will meet the effluent limit forsummer conditions.

The simulation also shows that Plant2 has enough capacity to handle the re-quired stress loads under winter condi-tions, as secondary effluent from Plant 2meets effluent limits for all parameters,including cBOD5, TSS, NH3-N and TP,at 10°C.

The capacities of the sludge handlingfacilities, chlorine contact chamber andtertiary disc filters were analyzed theo-retically and were shown to be adequateto handle the proposed rated flow of15,400 m3/d.

Lessons learnedOperating conditions, including influ-

ent flows and characteristics during fieldstress testing, may differ widely from theexpected target average flows and char-acteristics because of extraneous flows

and/or flow control limitations within theplant. Under such conditions, maintain-ing average flows higher than target flowsis desirable, as it precludes any uncer-tainty about the plant’s ability to treat thetarget loadings.

A calibrated model of the plant is auseful and acceptable tool to demonstrateperformance for conditions not encoun-tered during field testing, such as peakcold or hot weather conditions. For exam-ple, since nitrification criteria are differ-ent for summer and winter conditions, themodel can be used to predict the perform-ance for the condition not encountered infield testing, thereby saving both timeand resources.

The successful demonstration of theplant’s ability to treat target flows andloading, through field testing and cali-brated model simulations, led to MOEapproval for the desired capacity of15,400 m3/d for the Simcoe WWTP.

sludge build-up in lagoons and FWSbeds, winter-time high effluent BOD,costly intermediate pumping, and linerdamage by burrowing mammals in thewetlands.

An innovative upgrade project wasinitiated. It also took into considerationthe effluent nutrient loading requirementsof the Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strat-

egy. Upgrades were planned in twophases, completed in 2005 and 2008.Phase I upgrades involved constructionand addition of new treatment beds andmainly included:• Raising the elevation of two partiallyexcavated, non-constructed (1996 rough-cut only) FWS wetland cells (to eliminateintermediate pumping needs) and re-

designing them to make one large FWScell; and,• Addition of a new 24-inch-deep re-aer-ation zone in the central section (approx-imately one-third of total bed/wetlandcell area) and a heavier 40-mm HDPEliner.

Phase II modifications to the existing

• Installation of a new effluent manifoldfor additional flows from the wetlandsbeds.

Both Phase I and Phase II designs in-cluded deeper re-aeration zones in thefree water wetlands beds to ensure thatthey would remain well oxygenated andthat aquatic plants would not choke thebeds out after a number of years, as hadoccurred in the original FWS beds. Also,proper water levels are now maintainedin the FWS beds (two feet or less, versusthree to four feet in the original beds).

WWTP operational data were moni-tored between January 2006 and March2010, and were compared with the sys-tem’s National Pollution Discharge Elim-ination System (NPDES) limits. Systemperformance prior to and after upgradesprovided an insight into process improve-ments.

For analysis purposes, only the stabi-lized system data were taken into consid-eration, i.e., prior to upgrades (beforeAugust 2006) and after upgrades (March2009 to March 2010). Although Phase Iupgrades were performed prior to August

2006, they mainly involved constructionof new wetland cells and did not affectperformance of the existing system.

WWTP influent and effluent datawere referred for analysis. Influent dataindicated that average wastewater influ-ent BOD and TSS concentrations did notshow any significant increase before andafter upgrades.

Treatment plant flow and effluentBOD data are shown in Figures 1 and2.WWTP flows increased from 0.03 to

0.04 MGD, whereas the average effluentBOD increased from 4.3 to 15 mg/l.However, concentrations remained withineffluent NPDES permit limits. The rea-son for the increase in effluent BOD wasprobably due to the use of free water cellsversus subsurface cells for the final stage(beds). Sometimes algae add to effluentBOD/ TSS in free water surface beds.

Other NPDES parameters, includingTSS (total suspended solids), fecal coli-form and pH, remained within the permitlimits before and after upgrades. Averagetreatment plant effluent nutrient data forTKN (total Kjehldahl nitrogen), TN(total nitrogen) and TP (total phospho-rus) for the stabilized systems before andafter upgrades were monitored.

Sampling data along with DischargeMonitoring Report’s data indicate thataverage effluent TKN, TN and TP con-centration decreased from 24.0 mg/l,24.5 mg/l and 4.0 mg/l respectively be-fore upgrades, to 13.1 mg/l, 15.0 mg/l,and 2.4 mg/l respectively, after upgrades,despite an increase in average dailyflows. Considering an average flow of0.04 MGD and observed nutrient con-

centrations, the reduction in TN and TPdue to upgrades was estimated at around1,157 lbs/yr and 195 lbs/yr respectively.

One-year operational data for the sta-bilized system indicated that the effluentachieved the desired quality, while keep-ing the system in compliance with

NPDES effluent permit limits. Archis Ambulkar and Stephen N.

Wetlands

1. Surface flow wetlands. These are es-sentially man-made equivalents of naturalmarshes and are an effective option forprojects that combine multiple uses suchas water management, green space, recre-ational use, and wildlife habitat. Becausethey can handle higher sediment loadsthan other types of wetlands, they are apopular option for stormwater manage-ment.2. Subsurface flow wetlands. In this sce-nario, beds of gravel or peat are used andthe water is not exposed during the treat-ment process. This makes subsurfaceflow wetlands suitable for applicationswhere odours may be an issue, or wheremosquitoes may be a concern. These wet-lands can be utilized for horizontal-flowand vertical-flow applications.

Adding a mulch layer on top of the

There is considerable interest inthe water industry in the poten-tial applications of treatmentwetlands, particularly with re-

gard to industrial waste streams that arecomplex and challenging.

With natural systems, the process usu-ally starts with a need for wastewatertreatment in areas where there is limitedaccess to a sewage plant. This could in-clude the treatment of tailing pond water,landfill leachate, contaminated ground-water, or spent deicing fluid at airports.In each case, there is a unique blend ofwastewater, with its own particular re-quirement for pollutant removal.

A variety of wetland technologies areavailable, and different types of wetlandscan be combined to offer a customizedtreatment solution.

wetland bed insulates the system, allow-ing year-round operation in cold regionssuch as Canada. In addition, subsurfaceflow wetlands can be designed with reac-tive materials, such as limestone, in thebed to stabilize and buffer the pH ofwater being treated.

A key benefit associated with subsur-face flow constructed wetlands is that thesystem is not attractive for birds becausethe water is not exposed. This opens upopportunities to build treatment units tohandle airport deicing fluid runoff withinan airfield perimeter, for example.3. Mixing and matching wetland types.This approach allows the advantages ofdifferent wetlands being combined tomeet complex, multi-stage treatmentgoals. Certain types of treatment chal-lenges, such as contaminated groundwa-

An engineered wetland for treatment of petroleum hydrocarbons.

Wetlands excel in treating industrial waste streams By Mark O. Liner



Wetlands

ter or landfill leachates, often involve acombination of different pollutants, e.g.,metals combined with petroleum hydro-carbons.

Enhancing engineered wetland performance

Engineered wetlands are designed toallow some degree of process controlover the system, in order to improve over-all treatment efficiency. Forced Bed Aer-ation™ is one example of a commonengineering application used to supplyadditional oxygen to the microbial com-munity. When treating petroleum hydro-carbons, this “intensified” approach cansignificantly reduce the area required fortreatment. Aerobic bacteria inhabit thesubstrate and thrive in the additional oxy-gen delivered to the gravel bed by the aer-ation system.

The aesthetic quality of the system isenhanced by wetland plants that root inthe saturated zone below the insulatingmulch layer. Water flows beneath themulch layer, which acts as an insulatingblanket and makes engineered wetlandssuitable for cold-climate applications.

Other engineering tools also used inthe design of sewage plants, such as aer-

pollution problems are the challenge, dueto their longevity and simplicity.

They also provide a stable treatmentprocess to meet regulatory compliance

Aerated wetlands have proven effective in treating glycols and other deicingfluids.

ation, reactor configuration and onlinemonitoring, are now being incorporatedinto natural treatment systems.

Wetland treatment systems are partic-ularly valuable when long-term waste or continued overleaf...



ments, such as selenium, phosphorus,trichloroethylene, methyl tertiary butylether, tetrahydrofuran, aniline and ni-trobenzene.

Historically, constructed wetlands have

needs in cases where the source of thecontamination is remote. Just as naturalsystems are effective in the treatment ofsolids, nutrients and organics, they canalso provide treatment for complex ele-

been used for municipal wastewatersources, whose characteristics vary littlefrom project to project. In industrial treat-ment applications, where compounds re-quiring treatment can be a complex mix,bench-scale testing, modeling and processsizing are critical steps in the system de-sign process.

Unlike domestic applications, indus-trial wastewaters may have little or no priortreatment history. Pilot testing providesquick and simple proof of concept andempirical guidance for full-scale design.Wetland pilots can be quickly conductedon-site at the facility to demonstrate realresults in real time.

Examples of wetland industrial waste treatment

Treatment wetlands are an effectivechoice in a host of industrial wastewaterapplications, and several key industriesare adopting them as the treatment ofchoice for highly complex waste streams.Here are two prime examples of environ-mentally effective industrial treatmentusing wetlands:1. Airport deicing. The environmentaleffects of deicing fluids are mostly related

to the high oxygen demand they exertwhen released to rivers and streams. Withlarge airfields producing significantrunoff, stormwater storage volumes aretypically sized in the millions of gallons.Engineered wetland systems provide asimple and robust treatment process thatcan be ramped up or down to meet vary-ing treatment demands, with minimalstaff time. They have been adopted by air-ports in the United States, Canada and theUnited Kingdom.

To reduce sewerage costs and meetstormwater discharge limits, the BuffaloNiagara International Airport required anon-site treatment option for deicing liq-uid. To be effective, the system needed tofit within the airport; treat cold and dilutedeicing liquid; have a low profile; not bea bird strike hazard; have low sludge andodour production; be capable of handlingseasonal variations; and be integrated intothe existing stormwater management sys-tem.

An engineered wetlands system wasincorporated as an essential componentin the redesign of the airport’s stormwa-ter management system. It provides treat-

ment of “first flush” stormwater, whichis heavily laden with glycols during thedeicing season. To treat glycol, the wet-land includes Forced Bed Aeration tech-nology, which supplies oxygen uniformlyover the system and permits operatorcontrol of treatment. Distribution of wet-land influent is also optimized to reduce“bio-clots” within wetland media.

Also important to the project was atreatability study that established cold-weather reaction rates for the treatmentof spent deicing liquid.2. Petroleum hydrocarbon-contami-nated water. Petroleum producers areregularly faced with the challenge of re-mediating contaminated sites, in order toreturn them to viable use. Engineeredwetlands have emerged as a leadingtechnology for on-site bioremediationof petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminatedwater.

An oil refinery once operated on landcurrently home to the State University ofNew York’s Wellsville campus. As a re-sult of the historical refinery practices,the groundwater was contaminated withhydrocarbons. A wetland system was de-

signed as a long-term solution to treat280,000 gallons per day of contaminatedgroundwater from the former refinery.

The design incorporates an upgrade ofthe adjacent railroad tracks to trails andpaths, restoration of the adjacent riverswale, and a 20-acre site restoration planthat utilizes native plants (trees, shrubs,wildflowers, grasses and wetland plants).

Other applications include treatingacid mine drainage and removal of heavymetals in the mining industry, treatmentof landfill leachate and agricultural wastefrom farming and food production oper-ations.

It is clear that there are a variety of in-dustrial wastewater challenges requiringefficient and cost-effective treatment toprotect the environment. Evolving treat-ment approaches and sufficient testing ofnew system designs are critical to dealingwith the increasingly complex pollutantsof the present and the future.

AWWA issues statement on fluoride

The US Department of Health andHuman Services has proposed that therecommended level of fluoride in drink-ing water be set at the lowest end of the

current optimal range to prevent toothdecay. Simultaneously, the US Environ-mental Protection Agency is initiating areview of the maximum amount of fluo-ride allowed in drinking water.

In response, American Water WorksAssociation’s Executive Director, DavidLaFrance said that AWWA believes thatthe best science should drive decisionsrelated to fluoride and other water qual-ity issues. He added that the announce-ment from HHS and USEPA affirms thatcommunity water fluoridation at optimallevels is beneficial for preventing toothdecay. The proposed recommendationsproperly take into account new scientificdata and recognize that people todayhave access to more sources of fluoride.

“The goal of community water fluor-idation is to achieve the desired oralhealth benefit while minimizing potentialhealth risks. That is why water providersundergo thorough and extensive trainingto safely apply fluoride in the amount rec-ommended”, he said, adding that“AWWA would carefully study the newrecommendations and actively assist the

water community in interpreting and re-sponding to them.”

United States EPA criticized

A new effort by the US EnvironmentalProtection Agency to stem mountingwater pollution from pharmaceuticalswill be ineffective and may make mattersworse, according to comments filed bythe Public Employees for EnvironmentalResponsibility (PEER). EPA is attempt-ing to stem the disposal of drugs byhealth facilities into sewers.

According to PEER, the drinkingwater of approximately 50 million Amer-icans is currently contaminated withchemicals from pharmaceuticals. Thelargest pathway for this type of pollutionis the general population. Many compo-nents of drugs and supplements are notcompletely metabolized by the humanbody and are then excreted. Anotherpathway is the disposal of unused medi-cines and drugs, which are often flusheddown the toilet or washed down drains.

Last summer, EPA issued a draft“Guidance Document: Best ManagementPractices for Unused Pharmaceuticals atHealth Care Facilities” in which it states“the Agency believes that these facilities

dispose large quantities of unused phar-maceuticals to sewers.” PEER arguesthat this voluntary guidance will likelynot change medical facilities’ practicesand instead urges EPA to ban sewage dis-posal of pharmaceuticals.

Parkson completes newplant in Saudi Arabia

Parkson has just commissioned a new2,000 m3/day Design-Operate-TransferMBR plant in Rabigh, Saudi Arabia. Thecompany provided initial design for theproject, which includes grit removal andscreening, balancing tanks, denitrifica-tion, fine-bubble aeration, submerged hol-low-fiber MBRs, and a permeate wetwell. The plant, with complete built-in re-dundancy, includes extensive process con-trols and 100% monitoring capabilities.

In addition to overseeing the plant in-stallation and start-up, Parkson will op-erate the facility under a six monthoperation and maintenance contract,with the possibility of longer-term oper-ational responsibilities.



In this region of the world, water scarcity is a harsh reality.The privately-operated Rabigh Sewage Treatment Plant willmeet Title 22 requirements for unrestricted irrigation. Parkson'sdesign will recycle much of the wastewater effluent. A least70% of the flow will be used for landscaping irrigationthroughout the residential community. The plant needs to re-move 96-99% of incoming BOD, and be able to operate in anenvironment which can reach 50° C.

Soil recycling project at pilot stage

Last September, the Netherlands Soil Partnership (NSP) andStuyvesant Environmental Contracting Inc., with support fromthe Consulate-General of the Netherlands, hosted a workshop inToronto to discuss brownfield remediation technologies, such assoil washing and other innovations in the treatment of contami-nated soils and sediments. Stuyvesant and its partner Tetra Techoffered attendees a tour of their soil washing facility, which ispart of Waterfront Toronto’s Pilot Soil Recycling project.

Waterfront Toronto established the Port Lands Pilot Soil Re-cycling facility in July 2010 as part of its soil managementstrategy and overall commitment to sustainability. The objec-tive of the pilot is to determine the viability of treating andreusing impacted soil as an alternative to the traditional dig-and-dump disposal of brownfield soil.

Waterfront Toronto anticipates that it will need to manageapproximately 2,000,000 cubic metres of contaminated soilover the next 10 to 20 years. By recycling, it would be treatingsoil near its source, diverting it from landfill, and providing asource of treated soil that could be used in waterfront revital-ization projects.


WaterRF to evaluate new coating technologies

The Water Research Foundation (WaterRF) will be conductingresearch that will comprehensively evaluate lead service line(LSL) lining and coating technologies as alternatives to full orpartial LSL replacement. Research also will evaluate the use ofthese coatings as a means of protecting and repairing both leadand copper service lines.

This research will provide the science based information andsupporting documentation needed to make informed decisionsregarding lining and coating of both lead and copper servicelines.

It should prove invaluable to all parties involved in the eval-uation of existing service lines to determine how that drinkingwater infrastructure can be cost-effectively maintained or re-paired.

The Corporation of the Municipality ofLambton Shores pleaded guilty to one vi-olation under the Ontario Water Re-sources Act and, on September 28, 2010,Landmark Tank & Tower Services Corp.pleaded guilty to the same charge of dis-charging contaminated water into theHobbs McKenzie Drain.

The Court heard that the town hiredthe company to clean and inspect a drink-ing water standpipe in the Village ofArkona. When the standpipe was openedby the company, it was found to contain2,000 gallons of a red mixture of iron richwater and solids. The company pumpedthe material out of the standpipe and intothe spillway that flowed into the municipal

storm drain. Responding to complaintsfrom a resident that the drain was runningred in colour, ministry staff attended thesite and confirmed the discharge.

Residents invited to comment on proposed Act

Environment Minister Murray Coell hasinvited British Columbians to commenton a proposed new Water SustainabilityAct. This would replace the existing, cen-tury-old Water Act and ensure that the useand management of water is sustainablefor current and future generations.

The Living Water Smart blog will bethe focus of this phase of engagement onthe proposed act. British Columbians areencouraged to get involved on the blog,where there will be a number of succes-sive posts about the proposed new act.Participants can submit comments on theblog, as well as pose and rank questionsthat are most important to them and theircommunities.

pact on total balance is not significant. The percentage of removal of total ni-

trogen during the warm period and withboth reactors in operation averaged 70%.When shifting to one reactor configura-tion, the percentage of removal droppedto 60%. Average BOD loading for Marchand April 2007 was around 200 kgBOD/d, and, based on the synthesis ofnew biomass and nitrogen assimilation,could not be responsible for more than25% of removal. Therefore, the excessnitrogen removal can only be attributedto the denitrification process.

ConclusionProcess performance testing started in

July 2006 and continued till April 2007.CFID SBR system performances wereexcellent and consistently in compliancewith the design criteria for effluent qual-

ity. Analyses of BOD5, TSS, ammoniaand phosphorus concentrations in the ef-fluent were always very low and almostnever exceeded discharge limits.

Full nitrification was observed. Evenat low temperatures, total ammonia in theeffluent remained well below the targetedconcentration. Inherently, the CFID SBRsystem provided partial denitrification,despite the lack of mechanical mixing.

The CFID SBR, with its added flexi-bility, allowed the treatment process toprovide more than satisfactory results inparticularly challenging conditions whereonly one reactor was in operation with ahigh inflow/infiltration rate.

The Essex Sewage Works was commissioned in early January2006, and since then the CFID-SBRsystem has consistently met the effluent requirements.

Water Treatment

How much are consumers willing to pay for municipal water?

Many water utilities arechallenged to maintainservice levels in the faceof aging infrastructure,

population growth, and increasinglystringent regulations. In many cases,most of the revenue for needed invest-ments will come from customersthrough increased rates and fees.

Water utilities can gain from integrat-ing customer preferences into invest-ment planning. Utilities have typicallygathered information from their cus-tomers through their customer servicerepresentatives, public meetings, and sat-isfaction surveys. While informationfrom these sources is important, it isoften not representative of all customers,making it difficult to incorporate intoutility decision-making.

Economic valuation surveys allow forthe estimation of customer willingness-to-pay, or the value customers place ona proposed investment. This quantitativeinput from customers can be used by theutility to improve investment prioritiza-tion and rate setting, and to strengthencustomer relationships.

The AWWA Research Foundation hasreleased a report entitled “AssessingCustomer Preferences and Willingnessto Pay: A Handbook for Water Utilities”.Research for the report first consisted ofa literature review on stated-preferencesurvey methods, focusing on how theyhad been previously applied by waterutilities. Best practices were examinedfor administering surveys and identify-ing issues involved in surveying differentdemographic groups, such as non-Eng-lish-speakers.

Interviews and site visits among thefive partner utilities, including the Cityof Ottawa, were conducted in order to as-sess information about customer prefer-ences they would ideally like to know;potential investments where customerinput would be most beneficial; and howthey would use data on customer will-ingness-to-pay.

Next, two stated-preference method-ologies were tested, choice experiments(CE) and the contingent valuationmethod (CVM), in customer surveysconducted in partnership with the Albu-

querque Bernalillo County Water UtilityAuthority (ABCWUA). The surveys ad-dressed three proposed investments:water-pipe renewal, water reuse, and re-newable energy. Survey development in-cluded literature reviews, interviews withutilities, focus groups, debriefings, anda pretest.

Results and conclusionsThe results illustrated output from an

economic valuation, using data from sur-veys administered to customers of theABCWUA. The most expansive survey,the Full CE, examined six attributes: ad-ditional monthly cost on the water utilitybill, average length of outages, frequencyof outages, rate of advance notification,share of green space irrigated with reusewater, and share of utility energy fromrenewable sources.

Higher costs, longer average outages,and more frequent outages made the av-erage customer worse off, while greaterrates of advance notification, greater useof reuse water, and greater reliance on re-newable energy, all made the averagecustomer better off.

Results were consistent across allmodels. In the linear main-effects model,customers were willing to pay an addi-tional $0.78 per month to avoid experi-encing an additional outage over the nextfive years, and $0.75 per month to avoidthe average utility outage length increas-ing by one hour.

They were willing to pay an addi-tional $0.06 for each one-percent in-crease in the share of time customersreceived advance notification of an out-age, $0.17 for each one-percent increasein the share of green space irrigated withreuse water, and $0.13 for each one-per-cent increase in the share of renewableenergy used by the utility.

The project also estimated willing-ness-to-pay to avoid a substantial reduc-tion in service levels due to water-pipefailures. The specific scenario valuedwas avoiding five outages over fiveyears, a 20% rate of advance notifica-tion, and an average outage length ofeight hours. Across all survey types, in-dividuals were willing to pay a signifi-cant amount to avoid this scenario. Forexample, on average, individuals who re-ceived the water-pipe survey instrumentwere willing to pay an additional $8.68per month on their bill to avoid this sce-nario. For comparison, estimated will-ingness-to pay was $10.70 per monthusing the full CE survey instrument.Applications and recommendations

This research report is written as auser-friendly handbook for water utilitieson how to conduct their own economicvaluation surveys. Basic tools are pro-vided to design, implement, and analyzeeconomic valuation surveys using thecustomer survey administered for theABCWUA. Examples are provided onhow the results of economic valuationsurveys can be applied in utility deci-sion-making.

Integrating customer preferences intoutility investment planning providesmany advantages. Economic valuationsurvey data can assist the utility in defin-ing appropriate service levels. Costs andbenefits experienced by customers of aproposed utility project can be quanti-fied, and the utility can use this to assessthe cost-effectiveness of the project. In-vestment selection and prioritization, andrate setting, can be improved. Overall,the utility will be able to provide sustain-able levels of service to customers overtime.
