Ring Oxidation

The Wilderness Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in Orange County, Virginia is a four concentric ring oxidation ditch activated sludge system with a rated capacity of 1,935 m3/day. The three outer rings are used for wastewater treatment and the inner ring is used as an aerobic digester. The flow capacity has been increased from 1,935 to 3,760 m3/d, however, the desired design capacity has since been increased to 3,870 m3/d, and there are plans to eventually expand to approximately 4,840 m3/d with improved nitrogen removal. The design goal for the planned upgrade is to discharge an effluent that contains less than 10 mg/l total nitrogen (TN) at all times, with an annual average of 8 mg/l or less. In this study, the pre-upgrade performance of the Wilderness Wastewater Treatment Plant was evaluated and several modifications were recommended for the incorporation of biological nutrient removal (BNR).

Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Over a period of 6 months, pilot plant investigations were carried out with the purpose of bulking sludge control with different aerobic selectors. The wastewater was dominated by industrial dischargers, containing volatile fatty acids up to 450 mg/l. With complete-mix-selectors it was not possible to achieve a stable SVI below 150 ml/g. The bulking sludge could only be controlled with a sectionalized selector (HRT 5–8 minutes per section). The SVI decreased to values below 100 ml/g. Shock-loads and increased VFA-concentrations (by dosing NaC2H3OO) did not cause filamentous growth.

Twenty-eight process wastewaters and thirty-seven organic substances identified in the wastewater of the Kashima petrochemical complex were subjected to biodegradability tests. The tests consisted of the activated sludge degradability method and a supplementary test using the respiration meter method. Both tests utilized the activated sludge of the Fukashiba industrial wastewater treatment plant, which was acclimatized to the wastewater and organic substances. The 28 process wastewaters were classified into biodegradable, less biodegradable, and non-biodegradable according to the percentage TOC removal and the BOD5/TOC ratio of the wastewater. The 37 organic substances were also classified into biodegradable, less biodegradable and non-biodegradable according to TOC and CODMn removal. In general, chlorinated compounds, nitro-aromatics and polymerized compounds were difficult to biodegrade. From the biodegradability tests of the factory wastewaters, it was found that the refractory CODMn loads of these factories contributed to the load remaining in the effluent of the wastewater treatment plant. Various improvements were made to reduce the discharge of refractory substances from the factories.
