How Low Can You Go While Treating 1.4 Billion Gallons a Day? An Advanced Aeration Efficiency Evaluation at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant
Abstract
The objective of this project is to evaluate the existing aeration system and determine what equipment and control modifications will be required to optimize the energy consumption with the currently planned modifications. The main challenge with evaluating this aeration system is tied to the amount of operational data and the complexity of the required control system. Each of the 32 aeration basins has four aeration passes, and the same air distribution system feeds the aeration basins and the 96 airlift RAS pumps. The goal is to meet the changing demands of this activated sludge system in order to provide high quality and efficient treatment.To account for both the dynamics of the biological system and the complicated dynamics of the control system, a process model was developed in SIMBA#. The SIMBA# modeling software has an advanced level of control simulations built into the modeling package, and also includes the ability to model the air distribution piping in the same model space as the biological model and the control model. This will determine that the air demands for the aeration system, as well as all other process needs, can be met at the plant in the most efficient manner.
