SECTION 2 - DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION

The Hamworthy Super Trident Sewage Treatment unit is a self contained system for the treatment of
sewage from ships or rigs before it is discharged overboard and so prevent the pollution of harbour
and coastal waters and inland waterways. The system uses the aerobic principle of sewage digestion,
coupled with treatment of the final effluent, and is generally accepted as the most compact, efficient
and flexible system for use on board ship. The Super Trident will operate satisfactorily on salt, fresh
or brackish flushing water.

The system is ideal for ship installation as, if necessary, a number of small units can be arranged to
suit accommodation requirements rather than one large installation requiring considerable installation
space and long lengths of piping.

Figure 2.1-1 Schematic Diagram of Sewage Treatment Unit

Page 2-1
SECTION 2 – DESCRIPTION

2.2 GENERAL

Basically the Super Trident Sewage Treatment unit comprises a tank, divided into three water tight
compartments - an aeration compartment, a settling compartment, and a chlorine contact compartment.

The incoming sewage enters the aeration compartment, where it is digested by aerobic bacteria and
micro organisms which are promoted in the sewage itself by the addition of atmospheric oxygen.

From the aeration compartment the sewage flows into the settling compartment where the aerobic
bacteria floc, known as activated sludge, is settled out producing a clear effluent which passes through
a chlorinator and into the chlorine contact compartment before being finally discharged.

2.3 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

2.3.1 Aeration Compartment

In this compartment of the treatment unit, aerobic bacteria, that is those bodies requiring dissolved
oxygen to exist, reduce the influent waste material which mainly comprises Carbon, Oxygen,
Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Sulphur into Carbon Dioxide, Water and new bacteria cells. The Carbon
Dioxide is emitted throughout the vent system whilst the water together with the bacteria cells are
displaced into the settling compartment.

Air is supplied to the sewage from a rotary compressor through a number of fine bubble diffusers,
located at the bottom of the tank but removable from the side for ease of maintenance.

The air provides the life giving oxygen to the aerobic organisms and also keeps the contents of the
tank intimately mixed with the incoming raw sewage and the returned settled activated sludge.

2.3.2 Settling Compartment

In the settling compartment the bacteria settle out and are returned to the aeration compartment by
the airlift tube. This takes its supply from the bottom of the compartment and discharges to the
aeration compartment, via a visual indicator pipe which enables a check to be made on the sludge
return. The settling compartment of the unit is of the hopper type. The sloping sides prevent the
sludge from accumulating and direct it to the suction side of the air lift. The effluent enters the
compartment through a stilling chamber and rises through the clarifier, to discharge to the chlorine
contact compartment through a weir at the top of the clarifier. A surface skimmer is provided to skim
off and return surface debris back to the aeration tank - a second airlift is used for this purpose.

2.3.3 Chlorine Contact Compartment

The effluent is stored in this compartment after chlorination to allow time for the chlorine to kill off any
harmful bacteria.

On units fitted with a discharge pump two level regulators (or float switches) are fitted to control the
operation of the pump, see Electrical Controls.

An additional float switch is fitted which operates an alarm signal should the level rise above the
normal “high” position.

An emergency overflow pipe connection is also provided through which only treated effluent can pass.

Page 2-2
SECTION 2 – DESCRIPTION

2.3.4 Chlorinator

1. Tablet disinfection (standard). This is of the flow-through type and all of the effluent passes
over the specially formulated tablets and absorbs the required amount of chlorine before flowing
into the chlorine contact tank.

One or two tubes depending upon test results (see Section 4 - Determination of Residual Chlorine
Content) are filled with tablets and placed in position in the chlorinator with the cut-away sections
at the lower end. The effluent flows around and past the lower end of the tube and comes into
contact with the tablets.

At the outlet end of the chlorinator is a control weir arranged so that as the effluent flow increases
the level rises and more tablets come into contact with the effluent. In this way the chlorine uptake
is always sufficient for sterilisation of the effluent.

2.4 Discharge Pump

These pumps are horizontal close coupled centrifugal units with a 2-bladed open impeller of the non-
clog type. They are designed for capacities up to 40 m3/h and operate at 2-pole motor speeds.

The medium head pump is suitable for heads up to 18 metres. The high head pump is suitable for
heads up to 25 metres.

The pumps are particularly suited for effluent discharge, sump drainage and handling dirty water
containing solids up to 25mm. diameter.

2.5 Air Compressor

One rotary vane air compressor is fitted as standard, with a second standby unit available as an
option.

2.6 Electrical Controls

2.6.1 General

The rotary air compressor motors, are operated by manual switches on the control panel. When a
discharge pump is supplied it is controlled by float switches fitted in the final effluent tank with an
overriding HAND/AUTO switch on the control panel.

2.6.2 Float Switches

These are of the magnetic reed type with three floats mounted on a common stem and wired to the
control panel. The two lower floats operate the discharge pump(s), and the upper float operates the
high level alarm circuit should the level rise above normal.

2.6.3 Operation

When the system is fitted with a discharge pump and the control switch is in the AUTO position, the
typical sequence of operation is as follows:

When the liquid reaches the “High” level float switch, the pump motor is started and the liquid begins
to discharge from the compartment. The pump continues to run until the liquid drops to the level of the
“Low” level float switch when the motor is switched off.

Should the “High” level alarm float switch fail to operate for any reason, the level of the liquid will reach
the “High” level alarm float switch, and actuate the alarm circuit.

When the control switch is moved to the HAND position and the ON push-button switch is operated
the pump motor will run, to empty the tank for draining or cleaning until the control switch is moved to
OFF.

Page 2-3
SECTION 2 – DESCRIPTION

When dual pumps are supplied the second pump is typically a standby unit, however if requested the
sequence of operation may be arranged for lead follow or parallel operation to suit special on-board
conditions.

A control panel General Arrangement drawing including control switch layout is included in Section 6.5
and a circuit wiring diagram is shown in Section 6.7.

2.6.4 Remote Emergency Stop

Terminals are provided in the control panel for customer supply and connection of a remote stay put
type emergency stop button. Operation of the button will prevent all pumps and compressors from
running. If the compressor is stopped for a prolonged period the loss of process air may result in
anaerobic conditions. To prevent this occurring, either an emergency oil free air supply must be fitted,
taken from the ships air system or the unit must be emptied and flushed out as detailed in Section 5.

Page 2-4
SECTION 3 – INSTALLATION

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION
3.1 GENERAL DATA

The unit should be installed in a position where it is as level as possible when the ship or rig is in its
normal position. Bolt holes, are provided in the baseplate of the unit for fixing. It is recommended that
the Super Trident is installed with the longest side in a fore and aft direction to minimise the effect of
rolling motion. The maximum angle of roll or pitch at which the unit will function satisfactorily is 15°
either side of the vertical.

To facilitate periodic maintenance and for use in an emergency, a direct overboard by-pass of the unit
must be provided. Galley waste water, which meets solids discharge standards can be led, via a
grease trap, to the waste water mains. Where solids are disposed of by macerator / garbage disposal
unit, Hamworthy must be consulted.

CAUTION: Welding must not be carried out on the tank surfaces or the internal coating will be
destroyed.

The incoming electrical control terminals are clearly marked in the control panel.

The following should be read in conjunction with the General Arrangement drawing supplied with the
equipment, or as part of the contract documentation.

A General Arrangement drawing is included in Section 6.1 for reference purposes only, but this may
not fully represent the installation.

Access to the following items must be arranged:

1. Electric Control Panel. Switches are mounted on the outside of the door. The open door
dimension is stated on the General Arrangement drawing.

2. Chlorinator. Tablets are to be added as necessary. See Section 4 - Determination of Residual

Chlorine Content.

3. All valves. Required to be operated during cleaning.

4. Rectangular and circular covers in the top and sides of the units. During servicing of the
aerators and internal examination after annual cleaning these are removed.

5. Discharge pumps and air blowers for maintenance.

6. Float switch assembly.

The following pipe connections are required to the unit:

1. Raw sewage inlet.

2. Gas vent to atmosphere.

3. Overboard discharge connection (from pump discharge) and one sea water filling connection.

4. Inlet for water from sinks, showers, etc., that cannot gravitate directly overboard.

5. Emergency overflow connection. It is important that the pipe does not rise above the height of the
boss on the tank side. Can be piped to bilge via a water trap, or directly overboard, or into a storage
tank.

6. Recirculation line, 25mm flexible hose (for cleaning).

With due consideration of the foregoing, i.e. access required to various items and all pipe connections
to be made, the tank and pump can be positioned to suit the space available.

SECTION 4 - OPERATION

4.2 PREPARATION OF UNIT FOR INITIAL OPERATION

(For Valve number positions see Section 3 - Discharge Pump Installation)

1. Ensure that all valves in the air supply lines are open, except standby compressor delivery
valve. Close control panel isolator. Switch the service compressor on and check for correct
rotation by placing a hand over the inlet. Suction effect indicates correct rotation. Check
operation of relief valve by closing compressor discharge valve. Open compressor discharge
valve to check that relief valve reseats. Repeat this for standby air compressor (if fitted).

2. With duty compressor running, partially fill unit with water to cover diffusers. Open valves to
diffusers, close valves to air lifts and confirm air to each diffuser. Select auto and No. 1 duty
discharge pump on panel.

3. Close all side hatches on tank, close valves 1, 3, 4 and 6. Open valves 2 and 5 and fill unit with
clean sea water or fresh water until water flows over skimmer, and through chlorinator. Check
for leaks at covers. Close valves 2, 5 and 7 (when fitted), open 3 and soil inlet valve, together
with 4 and 6 of duty discharge pump.

4. Check that liquid is flowing through the visual indicator pipe in the sludge return line. The air
flow is controlled by the air valve and should be set, during normal operation, to give as high a
sludge return as possible whilst ensuring that the liquor does not become clear. If this happens
the airlift should be reduced until the return is seen to darken again. Following initial filling the
airflow should be set to give the minimum liquid flow and then be gradually increased in line with
the above instructions as the solids content of the unit increases. The skimmer airlift should be
adjusted to give the minimum reliable liquid flow.

NOTE: Skimmer air lift can empty skimmer. Adjust valve only when water is in skimmer tray, i.e.
when being fed.

5. Partially fill disinfectant contact tank and prime discharge pump(s).

6. Check pump rotation and selector switch operation (dual pumps).

7. Check operation of pumps from float switch when in “AUTO”.

8. Fill contact tank and check time required to discharge contents. Check for signs of cavitation.

9. Check that water is not pumped from syphon vent in discharge pipe.

10. Close up tank.

11. Fill chlorinator tubes with tablets if in restricted waters (when fitted). Approximately 2.5 kg of
tablets are required to fill one tube.

12. Check air pressure above liquid in aeration tank with manometer. Not to be more than 15mm
(H20) with blower running.

13. Open raw sewage and grey water (when fitted) inlet valve(s) to put unit on line.

14. Refer to sample procedures, operation and maintenance requirements including desludging.

4.3 DETERMINATION OF RESIDUAL CHLORINE CONTENT

4.3.1 General

A chlorine test is supplied so that the residual chlorine content of the treated sewage effluent may be
determined. A sample of this effluent is obtained by way of the sampling valve. Full instructions for
carrying out the test are supplied with the kit which consists of the following items:

Page 4-3
SECTION 4 - OPERATION

1 Colour Comparator
50 D.P.D. Test Tablets in 5 foil packets
(10 per packet) HP & C No. T9201005
1 Cleaning Brush
1 Stirrer

4.3.2 Sampling Instructions

Ensure tubes are clean then:

1. Fill the middle and right hand chambers with sample up to line.

2. Add D.P.D. tablets to right hand chamber and crush with stirrer. (Replacement tablets Pt. No.
T9201005).

3. Make comparison.

The typical chlorine residual should be between 4 ppm and 6 ppm.

There is no upper limit but should the residual be above 6 ppm use only one chlorinator tablet tube.
Should the residual be consistently below 1 ppm then the disinfecting effect may not be sufficient.
Check that both the sample tablets and calcium hypochlorite tablets are within their shelf life and if
grey water is being fed to the chlorine contact tank, check that the maximum daily flow does not
exceed twice the designed daily black water flow specified in section 1.

If liquid disinfection is fitted adjust the dosing pump flow to achieve a 5 ppm residual.

NOTE: In waters not covered by regulations, the chlorination tablets are not necessary. Average
usage is 2 grammes per person per day.

4.4 Disinfectant Cleaners

Disinfectant toilet cleaners used in large quantities can be detrimental to biological treatment plants.
They should be used very sparingly.

4.5 DESLUDGING TO AN INCINERATOR

4.5.1 General

1. Sludge from the Super Trident can be disposed of to the Hamworthy Neptune Incinerator, but it
should be noted that the water content of the sludge is in excess of 99% and hence fuel will be
used just to evaporate this water.

It is therefore an advantage to desludge the Super Trident in the normal way at sea when
outside restricted waters.

2. When it is not possible, however, the sludge from the Super Trident should be removed daily in
the quantities shown for the unit in use.

Page 4-4
SECTION 4 - OPERATION

ST6A 135 Litres

A 1" BSP connection is provided on the Super Trident for this purpose and the sludge can then
be pumped direct into the sludge tank provided with the incinerator. In this way the small
quantity of sewage sludge will be mixed with waste oil and incinerated without using fuel.

3. When removing sludge daily in the quantity shown for the Super Trident, the suspended solids
reading for the aeration tank should remain constant and should be checked approximately
twice a week. If the suspended solids are increasing, then the quantities of sludge removed
should be increased a little until a constant reading is obtained. Alternatively, if the suspended
solids are decreasing the sludge quantity should be reduced.

4.5.2 Using a Sludge Pump

A small positive displacement pump (with 1" B.S.P. connections) can be supplied for desludging the
Super Trident. The starter provided is fitted with an adjustable time switch which will run the sludge
pump for sufficient time to remove the correct quantity of sludge. The time switch should be adjusted
to achieve the correct desludging rate.

It is recommended that the starter is fitted adjacent to the incinerator and sludge tank control panels
so that the desludging operation can be carried out in a position where the sludge tank level indicator
can be observed.

4.5.3 Using the Super Trident Discharge Pump

The Super Trident discharge pump can be used to desludge to the incinerator sludge tank but, due to
the large capacity of the pump, care must be taken not to overfill the sludge tank.

Volt free contacts are available on the level switches in the sludge tank control panel and it is strongly
recommended that these are used to provide a remote indication adjacent to the Super Trident control
panel, of the sludge tank level. In this way, desludging of the Super Trident can be carried out without
the problem of overfilling the sludge tank.

The quantities shown in paragraph 2 must still be adhered to, but to simplify the operation the
desludging can be carried out twice a week instead of daily.

To desludge, close valve number 3 and open valve number 1 (refer to section 3 - Discharge Pump
Installation) and switch discharge pump to manual and allow pump to run for two minutes or until
sludge tank is full. Then stop the discharge pump and close the valve.

5.2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

5.2.1 Weekly

When in controlled waters replenish the supply of tablets in the Chlorinator. Fill tubes completely and
replace cap. Use only recommended tablets and never allow the level to fall below ¼ full. Check also
the air supply pressure gauge reading and that activated sludge is being returned through the
transparent pipe on top of the tank. The cock valve should be carefully adjusted to give the required
flow. Check the chlorine content of the effluent. (See section 4 - Determination of Residual Chlorine
Content).

Coarse screen filter to be inspected and any plastic bags or other debris etc. to be removed. Access
to screen is obtained through inspection cover.

5.2.2 Monthly

Change over from the duty to the standby air compressor. Ensure that the delivery valve is open
before operating change over switch and then close delivery valve on unit not running.

Check the contents of the aeration compartment for quantity of suspended solids using the graduated
cylinder supplied. Fill the cylinder to 100 ml level and allow to stand for 30 minutes. If the level of the
settled sludge is above the 60 ml level, the unit must be partially desludged as detailed below, when
not in controlled waters or to a shore facility.

Page 6-1
SECTION 6 – KEY COMPONENTS

6.1.2 DESCRIPTION

6.1.2.1 GENERAL

These pumps are horizontal close coupled centrifugal units with a 2-bladed open impeller of the non-
clog type. They are designed for capacities up to 40 m3/h and operate at 2-pole motor speeds.

The medium head pump is suitable for heads up to 18 metres. The high head pump is suitable for
heads up to 25 metres.

The pumps are particularly suited for effluent discharge, sump drainage and handling dirty water
containing solids up to 25mm. diameter.

6.1.2.2 PUMP INNER COVER

The inner cover is bolted onto the electric motor and houses the mechanical seal.

6.1.2.3 PUMP CASING

The pump casing is bolted to the inner cover and incorporates the suction branch which is in-line with
the motor shaft, and the discharge branch which is arranged at right angles with the suction branch.

6.1.2.4 MECHANICAL SEAL

The mechanical seal arrangement comprises two basic parts, a stationary seal ring, located in the
pump cover, and a rotating seal ring, carried on the impeller hub. A spring maintains pressure
between the seal faces, and lubrication is by the pumped fluid. Circulation passages are arranged to
maintain flow rate and prevent the accumulation of sediment.

6.1.2.5 IMPELLER

The impeller is keyed to the motor shaft and retained by a screw and lockwasher. A shim is fitted at
the bottom of the impeller hub to permit the running clearance to be correctly set between the impeller
and inner cover.

6.1.3 INSTALLATION

6.1.3.1 INSTALLATION DATA – PUMP WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS

The maximum weight of the pump, the overall dimensions, and the minimum clearances for removal of
parts are shown on the General Arrangement Drawing, normal supplied with the contract documents.

For dimensional data on any particular installation, reference must always be made to the General
Arrangement drawing.

6.1.3.2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

General
It is of the utmost importance that sufficient space is provided around the pump to allow personnel
access, and to facilitate removal and installation of components during normal maintenance routines.
It is advisable to leave adequate headroom above the unit for crane joists or lifting tackle. Minimum
required clearance dimensions for components removal are shown in the General Arrangement
drawing supplied with the contract documents.

Pipework
All pipework should be constructed so that pipe strains are eliminated and the unit protected against
frost.

Page 6-2
SECTION 6 – KEY COMPONENTS

Pipe fittings must fit easily without strain and suction and discharge pipes must be supported
independently near the pump so that no strain is transmitted to the pump casing. The bore of the
suction line must NOT be less than the pump suction flange nominal bore.

Suction piping must be absolutely air tight and as short as possible, avoiding bends and elbows.
Also, it should be between one and two sizes larger than the suction opening of the pump if the
suction line exceeds 15m (50ft) in length. Care should be exercised in laying, to eliminate loops which
create air pockets. If possible, check with water pressure for leaks.

Electrical Installation
Each installation must be wired in accordance with recognised standards of practice. Earth continuity
must be provided for all exposed metalwork of electrical apparatus, cable sheaths and armour, cable
glands, conduits, ducts, trunking, etc. Flexible conductors must be provided to earth resiliently
mounted equipment.

Ensure that overload relays are set to the correct current rating of the motor(s) they are protecting.

Direction of Rotation
On initially starting the pump, ensure that it is running in the direction indicated by the arrow on the
pump body. If the direction is incorrect, the wiring connections at the motor terminal box must be
reversed.

unit number stamped on the nameplate must be quoted. Please also give the drawing and item
number and full description of the item required as quoted on the appropriate List of Parts and
Sectional Arrangement drawing.

A complete pump and motor are readily available as standard spares so that should trouble be
experienced with either of these relatively small items it can be quickly remedied without interfering
with the normal duties of the unit.

A maintenance schedule is given in Table 5.1, and a fault finding chart in Table 5.2, located at the end
of section 5.

6.1.5.2 LUBRICATION

The pump requires no lubrication.

Page 6-5
SECTION 6 – KEY COMPONENTS

The motor bearings on the B50 x 50HC must be lubricated as detailed in the motor manufacturer’s
handbook (most motors will have ‘Sealed-For-Life’ bearings).

6.1.5.3 PREPARATION FOR DISMANTLING THE PUMP

1. Ensure that the electrical power supply to the motor is switched off.

2. Shut the suction and delivery valves in the system pipelines.

3. Remove the drain plug (27) and joint washer (28) from the pump casing.

6.1.5.4 DISMANTLING PUMP

REFER TO SECTIONAL ARRANGEMENT DRAWING D8103

1. Remove the bolts securing the electric motor to its seating and the nuts (20), washers (34) and
bolts (19) securing the inner cover to the casing.

2. Withdraw the motor and pump from the casing and remove the ‘O’-ring seal (15)

3. Bend back the locking tab washer (17) and remove the impeller screw (8), tab washer and ‘O’-ring
(14).

4. Turn the impeller (5) so that the jacking screw holes are horizontal, as shown on the Sectional
Arrangement drawing, and screw in the two jacking screws to withdraw the impeller.

5. Withdraw the stationary part of the mechanical seal (16) from the inner cover (2) and the rotating
part from the impeller.

6. Remove the nuts (23) and spring washers (25) and remove the inner cover from the electric
motor.

7. Remove the peel-off shim (11) and the liquid thrower (10).

6.1.5.5 INSPECTION

Thoroughly clean and examine all components for corrosion, cracks, wear or any other damage and
renew any parts found defective. If the mechanical seal faces are damaged, the complete seal
assembly must be renewed. The ‘O’-ring seals (14, 15) and tab washer (17) must be replaced with
new ones.

6.1.5.6 ASSEMBLING PUMP

1. Position the liquid thrower on the motor shaft and the inner cover on the motor. Fit the spring
washers (25) and nuts (23).

2. Impeller Shimming:

To determine the amount of shimming required between the impeller and motor shaft:

a) Position a new peel-off shim (11) in the bore of the impeller (5) (do not fit mechanical seal at
this stage).

b) Line up the keyway in the impeller with the key in the motor shaft and push the impeller onto
the shaft.

c) Place the tab washer (17) on the impeller screw (8) and fit the screw into the tapped hole in
the end of the motor shaft. Fully tighten the screw but do not lock it at this stage.

Page 6-6
SECTION 6 – KEY COMPONENTS

d) With the aid of feeler gauges, measure the clearance between the rudimentary vanes at the
back of the impeller and the inner cover (see figure below). This dimension should be
0.457mm ± 0.076mm (0.018 ± 0.003 in). Subtract 0.457mm (0.018 in.) from the
measurement obtained. The resultant figure is the amount of shimming which needs to be
removed from the peel-off shim.

e.g.

Clearance measured 0.991 mm (0.039 in)

Deduct required clearance 0.610 mm (0.024 in)
Total to be removed from shim 0.381 mm (0.015 in)

Note: Each lamination of shim is 0.076 mm (0.003 in)

Therefore, the amount of laminations to be removed from the shim is 0.381 mm (0.015 in) or
five laminations. A new peel-off shim is 20 laminations or 1.524 mm (0.060 in) thick.

Figure 6.1-1Impeller Shimming

Page 6-7
SECTION 6 – KEY COMPONENTS

e) Ensure that the end of the motor shaft key does not protrude beyond the end of the motor
shaft or the peel-off shim pack will be fouled.

f) Remove the impeller screw and tab washer and withdraw the impeller from the motor shaft.

g) Remove the peel-off shim from the bore of the impeller and remove the number of laminations
determined in (d) above.

3. Smear the inside of the impeller bore with grease.

4. Fit the mechanical seal as follows:

a) Ensure the ceramic seat is fully inserted into the cup rubber. Lubricate the outside diameter
of the cup rubber and also the bore of the recess in the inner cover, which locates the
stationary seat, with soft hand soap and water.

b) Feed the cup rubber and ceramic seat into the recess and press into position ensuring an
even pressure over the whole of the ceramic seat face. Make sure that the cup rubber and
seat are pressed fully home.

c) Stand the pump, less casing and impeller, vertically with the impeller end of the shaft
uppermost.

d) Lubricate the bore of the bellows with soft hand soap and water.

e) Apply soft hand soap and water to the outside diameter of the impeller hub, and pass the
bellows of the mechanical seal carefully over the taper on the hub (rubber end first) until the
bellows contacts the hub shoulder.

f) Ensure that the impeller adjusting peel-off shim (11) is in position on the shaft end.

g) Line up the keyway in the impeller hub with the shaft key, locate the bore of the hub with the
shaft end and push the impeller fully onto the shaft.

5. Carefully position the liquid thrower on the impeller hub.

6. Secure the impeller with the impeller screw (8) and tab washer (17). Lock the screw with the tab
washer.

Note:

Installation of the seal unit, to its working length, should be completed with 15 minutes to ensure
that the bellows is correctly positioned before it permanently grips the impeller hub.

7. Place a new ‘O’-ring seal (15) on the inner cover (2) and position the motor and pump assembly
on its mounting and secure the inner cover to the casing with bolts (19), washers (34), and nuts
