A Case Study in How Odor Control Improvements Mitigated a Membrane Scaling Problem at an Advanced Water Reclamation Facility.

Cultured bacteria addition is one of the technologies used for odor control and FOG (fat, oil, and grease) removal in wastewater collection systems. This study investigated the efficiency of bacterial addition on wastewater odor control by conducting a set of full scale trials in a 60,000 cubic meter per day system for a period of two years. The objectives of this study were: (i) to identify factors that could impact wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operations due to the effect of bacterial addition in the collection system, (ii) to estimate/understand the level of those impacts, and (iii) to present some interesting findings from the completed case study. The plant operation data before and during the bacterial addition were reviewed. The application of the cultured bacteria presented in the study was found to have significant impacts on the operation of the WWTP in terms of influent biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) loading, primary settling, sludge production, energy use, dissolved sulfides concentration, and methane production.

This study presents the results of an evaluation which provides the necessary decision making tools before to put into operation a System of Reclamation and Reuse Wastewater (SRRWW), in the way to assure the economic viability of the project. This system contributes to improve the sanitary conditions in Jiutepec, Mexico. The applied methodology considers the identification, quantification and economical evaluation of different impacts, private and external, selecting the alternatives that maximize the total benefit. The alternative of the industrial park of CIVAC is the most profitable for the reuse with a maximum benefit of 0.4591 USD/m3. With the idea of recovering all the SRRWW costs, the minimum price of sale of the regenerated water should be 0.2751 USD/m3. Even though all the impacts were not economically evaluated, it does not affect the result on investment decision, since the impacts without evaluating only will increase the benefits of the selected systems.
