Class A Biosolids

Terminal Island Treatment Plant converted its digesters to thermophilic operation with the objective to comply with the U.S. EPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule requirements for Class A biosolids. The following processes were tested: a) single-stage continuous; b) two-stage continuous; c) single-stage sequencing batch. Salmonella sp. were always non-detect in digester outflows (<3 MPN/4 g dry wt), whereas fecal coliform densities were usually below the Class A limit of 1000 MPN/g dry wt. However, the recurrence of fecal coliforms in post-digestion caused non-compliance with the Class A limit at the truck loading facility as the last point of plant control for compliance. After several design modifications of the post-digestion train, operation of the digesters as sequencing batch digesters according to the time-temperature requirement of Alternative 1 of the Part 503 Biosolids Rule achieved compliance for both Salmonella sp. and fecal coliforms at the last point of plant control (truck loading facility).

Plant Control

Continuous operation data were obtained on a fluidized bed incineration plant with dryers, and two autoregressive models were then prepared through statistical analysis of the data. Based on the results, an automatic plant control system using fuzzy theory was designed. An incinerator system of this type is characterized by energy efficiency, for which optimum and stable moisture control of the dried sludge is important. The large difference in time constants between incinerator and dryers makes energy saving difficult. Based on these analyses and design, control operations at a commercial plant with a capacity of 150 wet-tons/day were studied. It was confirmed that reduction of auxiliary fuel consumption and reduction of CO and NOx in the exhaust gas were optimized, while the moisture content of dried sludge and the furnace temperature were kept stable.
