The Aero-Mod SEQUOX­Pius process mcorporates common wall des1gn, a compact footpnnt, an efficient aeration system, and energy recovery to maxim1ze energy efficiency and treatment capabilities.

The SEQUOX-Pius activated sludge process mmim1zes power consumption, thereby mcreasing energy savings, in four key areas.

1. The aeration process is segmented into two separate stages, each contained w1th1n individual basms, The initial stage aeration aerates With fine bubble aeration (orgamc controlled environment). Fme bubble aerat1on in this apphcat1on maximizes oxygen transfer to the wastewater thus optimizing utilized horsepower m th1s stage. In contrast, the second stage uses the aerat1on to completely m1x the tank and is not focused on oxygen transfer. For th1s application, coarse bubble aeration will be used for second stage aeration (mixing controlled environment). Coarse bubble aeration maximizes the transfer ofmixmg energy-to the wastewater. By ut1lizmg fhe opt1mumt)tpes of aerat1on system for each application based on aeration requirements, oxygen transfer efficiencies and mixmg efficiencies are max1m1zed wh1le concurrently opt1m1zmg the overall energy usage for the oy~ral!il.~r:.atiQ.!'l ~Q.9~§_s. _ _ _ _ _ _

2. The Lone Grove WWTP will operate two s1milar, parallel trains w1th each train's lineup configured w1th separate zones for first stage aerat1on, second stage aeration, and · clanf1cation. The second stage aeration will be operated alternatively as a nitrification zone and then as a denitnficat1on zone Dunng mtnf1catlon, the aerat1on system w11i be operated The trains' tankage volumes are s1zed such that durmg denitnf1cat1on, an individual train's second stage's aeration can be turned off 1n the associated second stage aerat1on zones to develop anoxic zone conditions that achieve denitnf1cat1on. This operational flexibility min1m1zes daily fluctuations in the blower's energy use and el1mmates the reqUirement of having to turn the blowers on and off thus avoiding startup power peak demands.

3. The denitrification mode of operation recovers a portion of the oxygen demand and thus offsets the amount of energy requ1red to ox1d1ze the ammon1a mtrogen 1nto mtrate nitrogen. When the bactena use the chem1cal oxygen from the n1trates, this reduces overall oxygen reqUirements, thus reducing the total energy costs by reducing blower s1ze and operation. Also, aeration process' IS configured such that the demtnfication process occurs without the need for mechanicallelectncal Internal m1xed liquor recycle pumps and Without mechanical/electncal m1xers, further 1ncreas1ng energy sav1ngs.

4. The Aero-Mod process Includes clanf1er technology, referred to as a ClarAtor, that Includes no moving parts below the water surface. Use of the Clarator Technology reduces energy usage via two means. The f1rst energy savmgs is accomplished since, compared to traditional clanfier technology, the ClarAtor ehmmates the need for a drive mechanism. Influent to the clanfier 1s drawn from the surface· of the aeration basin through mlet screens and distributed uniformly across the lower port1on of the clarifier. Settling occurs under Ideal conditions since movmg sludge scrapers are not provided and eliminate any turbulence that could remix the setting solids. Secondly, settled solids are removed from

the bottom of the clarifier via stationary hydraulic suction hoods evenly spaced across the floor of the clarifier. Airlifts are attached to the piping leading from the tops of these hydraulic hoods. These pumps provide the suction lift required for rapid sludge removal but only use minimal energy to lift the return sludge over a common wall to the adjacent aeration basin. The clarification process provides energy efficiency since collector drives are eliminated and return sludge pumping requirements are minimized.
