Design of Activated Sludge Systems 7th March 2017, Aqua Enviro Training Suite, Wakefield Specialist technical training A modern activated sludge plant incorporates a number of features to ensure that the mixed liquor settles well in the aeration basin. These include: selectors, anoxic zones, plug flow mixing and adequate settlement capacity. In addition the increased costs of energy have mean that proper design of cost effective aeration systems is essential. This module will review the design of each of the aspects of a modern treatment plant, presenting a theoretical background to aid understanding, and providing the design equations by means of worked examples, that are necessary for effective plant design. Delegates receive a copy of the paperback book illustrated above with full notes from the training course. Programme Understanding how bacteria remove BOD, ammonia, nitrate and phosphorus The kinetics of BOD, N and P removal and application of kinetics to design Reactor configurations to optimise treatment performance, complete mix to plug-flow Designing and sizing the individual zones (anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic) Ensuring good sludge settleabilty by appropriate selector design Calculating the aeration requirements Final sedimentation tank design based on SSVI3.5 The trainers for these Activated sludge courses are: Matthew Smyth, Aqua Enviro BSc, MRes, Exec MBA, MCiwem, CSci. Matt is Associate Technical Director at Aqua Enviro Limited. Matt’s expertise lies in optimising domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants to meet stringent discharge consent criteria whilst minimising operating and capital upgrade costs. His work in the brewing, distilling, pharmaceutical and paper sectors has seen him troubleshoot a range of technologies including sequencing batch reactors, membrane bioreactors, plus traditional activated sludge plants suffering from filamentous bulking. In the domestic sector he has worked with all of the water companies, highlights include developing a new design and asset standard for selectors to enhance activated sludge settlement, optimising sludge age control to achieve/avoid biological nutrient removal and developing chemical dosing strategies to enhance lamella primary and secondary treatment. Matt has delivered the course jointly with Nigel Horan since 2009 from Aqua Enviro’s Wakefield base and also at client premises throughout the UK. Rowland Minall MCIWEM, CSci, MSc, BSc(Hons) Rowland is a Chartered Scientist and Process Engineer who has been actively involved in the Municipal Wastewater and Biosolids Industry for over ten years. His current areas of interest are sludge dewatering, treatment and disposal. He joined Aqua Enviro in 2013 and has been working to develop wastewater and sludge treatment solutions in the industrial, municipal and waste industries throughout the UK.
