2.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS

The Pitesty City WWTP is an activated sludge plant and will achieve the standards set by
the EU Urban Wastewater Directive 91/271/EEC for discharge to a "sensitive water body.
n order to meet these process requirements, the works has been based on a maximum re-
use of the existing assets with a complete replacement of the electrical, mechanical and
SCADA equipment as appropriate.

2.2. WASTEWATER TREATMENT

The general treatment process is an aeration activated sludge plant.
The design flow to the wastewater plant shall be twice the hourly maximum dry weather
flow Q
max
.
The incoming flow to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) shall be continuously
measured downstream of the overflow weir.

All flows above 2 Q
max
, after overcoming the overflow weir, shall be automatically diverted
to the retention tanks, using a flow controlled automated penstock. All diverted flows to the
retention tanks shall be screened by n1 automatic coarse screen (15 mm).

The retention tanks will work in sequential (from tank 17B to 17A or from 17A to 17B) or
parallel way. f either retention tank is out of service, then provision shall be made for the
storm water to flow directly from the overflow weir to the tank in service and then overflow
into the existing storm drain.
Each tank is equipped with two mixers that shall operate continuously whilst stormwater
remains in the tanks. When the incoming flow is below 900 litres/sec the Stormwater tank
shall be automatically pumped back to the inlet works, upstream of the flow measurement
chamber.

All flows less than 2 Q
max
shall be normally screened to 20 and 6 mm, de-gritted de-
greased, before primary settlement.
All flows less than Q
max
shall go forward to be treated biologically , to remove BOD and
ammonia and shall include a denitrification stage to comply with the required water quality
of 10 mg/l nitrogen. These flows shall also be dosed with Ferric Chloride to achieve a final
effluent phosphorus concentration of 1 mg/l.

The biological treatment stage shall be two separate biological treatment lines (anoxic and
aeration tanks), designed such that either can be isolated for emptying whilst the other
continues to treat incoming wastewater.
Each tank shall have a separate anoxic zone equipped with two mixers to ensure the
internal recycle is well mixed with the return sludge and settled wastewater from the primary
tanks, at all flows.

2.3. SLUDGE TREATMENT
The primary and biological excess sludge (SAS) shall be thickened separately in the
existing gravity thickeners and new mechanical thickeners respectively.
The SAS and primary thickened sludge are pumped in two circular storage tanks complete
with stirrer to ensure complete mixing.

The thickened sludge is pumped to the anaerobic digesters.
The digested sludge is sent by gravity into two new covered storage tanks and after is
pumped to the dewatering treatment with centrifugal extractors to remove a part of the
sludge water; before dewatering the sludge is conditioned with polyelectrolyte.
Reject water returns to the inlet pumping station via new internal sewerage.

2.4. DESIGN DATA

The design load for the plant is based on a 320.000 population equivalent (PE) in the year
2022. The design flows and loads are summarised on table 3.1

Table 3.1. Summary of flows and loads.

3. WASTEWATER LINE
3.1. D101 - INLET CHAMBER

The incoming flow to the wastewater treatment works (WWTW) is continuously measured
downstream of the inlet chamber D101. All flows above 8.200 m/h (2,280 litres/sec) shall
be automatically diverted to the retention tanks, using a automated penstock 101-MP-101
and a overflow weir located at the entrance of the channel of the storm water.
The supply pipes of the two storm water tanks have interception valve so that when a tank
is under maintenance it gets closed and the sewage fills the other one. It is necessary that
at Ieast the suppIy tube of one of the tanks shouId aIways remain open, so that in
case of rainstorm, the wastewater could always fill a storm water tank and, if the rainstorm
continues, through the overload level weir placed inside the tank, they move towards the
discharge end of the plant through the general by-pass pipe
All diverted flows to the storm tanks are subjected to 12 mm by self cleaning screenings.
The time cleaning of the grid is normally set by the operator. A differential level sensor
(upstream-downstream) starts the automatic cleaning of the grid. When the cleaning of the
grid starts, automatically activates also the screened material compactor, that compacts
and removes the screened material pouring it in an appropriate container bag
The operator shall select control of the penstock in auto or manual at the SCADA.
The inlet chamber equipments and instruments is shown on table 3.1.

3.9. FLOW SPLITTING & FLOW METERING BEFORE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT

The biological treatment is composed by two lines, D107A and D107B. Two weirs of the
same length located at the entrance of the two tanks equally divide the water flow arriving
from the primary clarifiers in two parts. The maximum flow that can be sent to the biological
treatment is 4.100 m/h (2.050 m/h for every line). The exceeding flow overflow and it is
pumped back to the retention tanks by the High Flow pumping station D106.
The position of the penstocks 107-MP-101A and 107-MP-101B will be regulated by the
PLC local control in order to ensure that the incoming flow to the biological tanks is equally
divided in two, balancing possible asymmetry of the flows in the biological tanks inlet
channels.
Every penstock is controlled by a feedback control, regulated by a pre-defined PD block.
The set-point for the two loop control will be defined in the following way:
-. f the actual WWTP incoming flow exceed 4.100 m
3
/h, then the set-point for the two
loop will be 2.050 m
3
/h, allowing the tanks to receive the maximum flow possible, optimizing
the quantity of sludge treated, and assuring that the flow is equally divided in two.
- if the actual WWTP incoming flow is lower than 4.100 m
3
/h, then the set-point of the
two loops will be half the value of the measured incominc flow.
- if one of the two tanks is not operative (for maintenance) than te set-point of the
control loop regulating the penstock of the other thank, will be 4.100 m
3
/h (in case of
incoming flow to the WWTP exceeding 4.100 m
3
/h, and exactly equal to the actual
measured incoming flow, if this is lower than 4.100 m

The instantaneous and cumulative flow are continuously be recorded on the SCADA
system to automatically control the ferric dosing, internal recycle flow (for denitrification)
and the returned activated sludge (RAS) flow. The combined flow is split equally between
aeration tank D107A and D107B at all flows.

3.10. D107 - BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT

The biological treatment lines is composed of two separate biological treatment stage (
anoxic and aeration tanks) designed such that either can be isolated for emptying whilst the
other continues to treat incoming wastewater. Each tank shall have a separate anoxic zone
equipped with a minimum of two mixers to ensure the internal recycle is well mixed with
the return sludge and settled wastewater from the primary tanks, at all flows. The anoxic
zone is separated from the aeration tank by a complete partition wall to ensure no back-
mixing between the aerobic section and the anoxic section.

The return activated sludge (RAS) and the internal recycle for denitrification shall be
controlled automatically using variable speed pump motors.

n the oxidation-nitrification phase, the air necessary to the biological treatment is provided
by volumetric air blowers and is diffused in the tanks by membrane disk diffusers set in the
bottom of the tanks.
The oxygen is given in accordance to the real need of the biological process through the
use of sensors of dissolved oxygen (2 for each tank through which is calculated the
average value, 107-OT-101A/B/C/D).
The operator sets the standard of dissolved oxygen to be kept in the tank (on average 2
mg/l), when this level falls the blowers are asked to produce more air, that through inverter
increases the number of engine speed.

A part of the aerated mixture, at the end of each tank of oxidation-nitrification, is sent again
to the entrance of the biological tanks with an intubated pump (D107A3-B3). An
electromagnetic flow meter, installed on the delivery pipe DN900 due to the recirculation of
the nitrates, allows to measure the actual recirculated nitrates flow.
The engine of the pumps has an inverter so the operator, can choose the range which is
most proper to the process, with a variability range from 2700 m/h to 4000 m/h depending
on the instantaneous flow value, measured before the biological treatment, recorded in a
cumulative manner by the SCADA.

All the flow from both aeration tanks (other than internal recycle flow) shall be split
proportionately to each of the three secondary tanks (DS2, DS3 and DS4) at all flows.
The recycle pumping station are fitted with a minimum of 1+1 R e 2+1R variable speed
pumps and controlled automatically by the SCADA system as a function of solids
concentration measured in the oxidation tanks with MLSS measurement tool
This internal recycle is measured and the total flow recorded continuously. This internal
recycle is returned to the anoxic tanks

At the entrance of each tank of oxidation is also installed a sensor of Ph control, and at the
ending a suspended solids sensor (MLSS), for measuring the actual sludge concentration
in the tank. Another level meter is installed on each channel of alimentation of the two
biological lines and checks the actual value of the flow pumped to the line.
The main features of each line are:
Volume of denitrification = 5.050 m
Volume oxidation-nitrification = 10.100 m

4.9. PLANT FOR THE ADSORBITION OF H2S FROM BIOGAS

n anaerobic fermentation of waste for biogas production, the methane produced contains
high levels of hydrogen sulphide which is highly corrosive to the energy production unit.
Desolf equipment reduces the quantities of hydrogen sulphide with a 90% efficiency and
through careful chemical cleaning of the biogas.
Venturi stage: n the Venturi stage, the biogas is sucked in under dynamic high pressure,
caused by the strong turbulence in the high velocity throat, and is forced into contact with
the wash solution for optimal pre-filtering.
First Tower Stage: n the first tower, the biogas from the Venturi is backwashed at low
velocity over an ample static contact surface (biogas - wash solution) obtained through
alveolar exchange packs with a high specific surface area.
Second Tower Stage: n the second tower, the biogas is scrubbed in the same way as in
the first tower and then passes through a demister: alveolar packs to separate droplets
which prevent the reagent solution carry-over.

Type of equipment : Tower for biogas
Material : AS 316

4.10.2. HEAT UNITS
The heats units station is made of 2 boilers (1+1 for reserve). Each boiler is equipped with
a control panel mounted beside the machine that manages the operation of each single
boiler. Both the boilers during the winter are switched on and in stand-by. The boiler of
reserve may enter into operation when the electronic controller - mounted on the general
panel of the system which supervises the operation of the system - signals to the control
panel of the reserve boiler to enter in function.
The main purpose of the boilers is to maintain the sludge within the digesters at a
temperature of 35C. For this purpose have been included, on all the delivery and return
flow circuits for hot water, some temperature probes that send the signal to the control
junction box. When (for example) a temperature probe on the pipe of coming back water
from the heat exchanger of the digester refers a value of lower temperature of a certain
prefixed value, it means that it is necessary to send heat to the digester; consequently the
boiler increases its operation in order to supply the necessary heat.
The operation of each group of pumps (1+1 of reserve for each line) is set in action
manually.
n case of maintenance of a line, the group is turned off manually too.
The internal recirculation pumps of hot water, for each boiler, are instead managed from the
control panel of each boiler.
A part of the heat produced by the boilers is used to heat the local of mechanical
dewatering (D116-D125). n the cold season, the circulation pumps of warm water are
switched on, and they send it to le local.
At the same time are switched on: all the pumps of the substation, the two pumps of the
circuits of aerothermals and the one of the UTA circuit (unit of air treatment).
The internal fan of the UTA, which exchanges the air within the local of dewatering, works
all the year, while the pump for sending the warm water to the heat exchanger, works only
in wintertime.
Each aerothermal is equipped with a thermostat that, once reached the prefixed ambient
temperature, switches it off.
n this case the remote control has only the task of monitoring and supervise the operation
of each machine (start/stop/alarm).
Both within the boiler room that in the room of cogeneration, two sensors are mounted (one
for the gas and the other for the smoke) and in danger case they close the valve of
interception of the methane and of the biogas both of cogenerators and boilers.

The equipments for Heats Units is show table 4.10.

4.10.3. PUMP FOR SLUDGE HEATING GROUP (ROOM D122)
The pumps 118A, B, C installed in the boiler room D122 heated sludge digester through
heat exchangers
When the process of digestion is started, the biogas produced fills the membrane
gasometers. The indication of the degree of filling of gasometers is indicated by a internal
probe of position. At this point you can manually select the functioning of the boiler by
biogas. When the process is fully launched you can turn cogenerators (using biogas). The
pumps 121A,B move hot water from cogenerators to the main collector of thermal station,
recovering heat from the cooling of the engines and from exhaust fumes of cogenerators.
The pumps 122 (1 1R) move the water produced by the boiler to the main collector.
The pump 125 moves hot water to the dewatering building D125-D116 for the heating of
environment. n the mechanical dewatering building the hot water coming from the thermal
station is recirculated by 125-OCP-102 to the UTA (Air Treatment Unit), that makes a
replacement of the internal air of the local. n addition there are two other circuits served by
pumps 125-OCP-103 and 125-OCP-104, one sends the hot water to the 6 aerothermic of
the mechanical dehydration, and the other one sends it to the 2 aerothermic of the local
due to the storing and dosing of ferric chloride.
Each aerothermic is equipped with a local control panel with thermometer. n case of
reaching of the set temperature, the aerothermic stops.
The UTA (Air Treatment Unit) always works (summer-winter). n the summer time the
recirculating pump of hot water is stopped.

4.11. D123 - GASHOLDERS

The biogas produced by the 3 digesters is sent through an appropriate piping to 3
membrane gasometers each with a volume of 1.000 m. An ultrasonic level allows you to
measure the movement of the membrane and therefore to determine the quantity of stored
gas.
The console of control of each gasometer allows the control of the signal with the
monitoring of the state of the gasometer (it remains to decide what to send to TLC, empty,
full, etc.).
n case of need, for the disposal of the exceeding biogas it is provided an appropriate torch
of emergency (D124).
The biogas goes out of the gasometers with a maximum pressure of 25 mbar and goes
through a division of desulfurization and dehumidification, for the cleaning of the biogas
from the H
2
S (hydrogen sulphide) and for its dehumidification (essentially making it more
dry). First the biogas passes through a scrubber tower that through a washing with a
solution of soda (sodium carbonate), it comes reduced by the component H
2
S. The
scrubber is equipped with a switchgear, mounted beside the machine, that controls and
gives power to the fan, the pumps, the tools and all the devices of process control.
At the exit of the vertical scrubber, the biogas goes through a dehumidifier, made by a
condenser powered by a water chiller.
Within the desulphurisation local (D120) two sensors are installed, one for the gas and one
for the smoke, in case of alarm they intervene on the interception valve of biogas on the
transport piping and they exclude the biogas feed to the scrubber.
At the exit from the process of desulfurization and dehumidification, having the biogas a
little pressure, it is pumped to the using devices (cogenerators and boilers) through 1+1
reserve blower in order to increase the pressure to a maximum of 150 mbar.
