ABSTRACT
Projects of the Municipal Technology Branch - July 1972 is a compilation
of the information sheets of the 448 projects initiated since fiscal year
1967 through fiscal year 1972. Each sheet contains the objectives,
fiscal information, and a brief description of an initiated project.
General information on the mission of the Municipal Technology Branch,
its needs, problems, accomplishments, organization and resources history
is also presented. Since inception of the original water program under
FWPCA/FWQA, a new Program Planning System has been developed to provide
Office of Research and Monitoring's planning input for the Environmental
Protection Agency's Resource Management System. This change has resulted
in sone realignment of operating unit mission designations and subsequent
assignment of new Program Element Numbers. The following listing correlates
the two numbering systems:
Program Area; Municipal Technology
1B2033 Municipal Sewered Discharges (formerly 11010).
1B2034 Combined Sewer Overflows & Storm Water Discharges (formerly
11020, 11030, 11040).
1B2035 Non-Sewered Domestic Wastes (formerly 11050, 13050).
1B2043 Treatment Process Development and Optimization (17010, 17020, 17030,
17040, 17050, 17060, 17070, 17080, 17090, 17100-17110).
1B2044 Cold Climate Waste Treatment (formerly 16100).

and treating combined sewer overflows and storm water
1-1
-------
Produce full capability to reuse wastewaters
Develop sludge recycling capability
Transfer new technology to user programs
Develop technology to minimize pollutional effects
Develop technology for management of waste discharges
PROBLEMS
1. Conventional wastewater treatment plants lack capability to
perform at levels adequate to meet water use needs and
environmental concerns
2. Capability to dependably renovate municipal wastewaters for
•full spectrum reuse is lacking
3. Pollution from combined sewer overflows and storm water discharges
is a major problem requiring new technology
4. Wastewater sludges pose a major pollution problem for which cost
effective solutions are not available
5. Even with the development of treatment technology for all effluent

SEWERED WASTES
NON-SEWERED MUNICIPAL WASTES
-------
Sewered Wastes
Non-Sewered Municipal Wastes
This program involves the development and demonstration of technology
for the effective and economical control of pollution from sewered wastes,
combined sewer discharges, storm sewer discharges, non-sewered runoff, non-
sewered municipal wastes, and joint municipal/industrial wastes. The
number of sewered communities in the United States is just under 13,000,
serving 68% of the Nation's population. Raw or inadequately treated sewage
from millions of people still flows into our streams. Although many com-
munities have been installing and improving their waste treatment facilities,
over 1,000 communities outgrow their treatment systems each year. It is
estimated that waste loads from municipal systems will increase nearly four
times over the next 50 years.
Increasing demands for more efficient and more economical methods of
collecting and treating sewered wastes face every urban community. Treat-
ment problems associated with blends of industrial and municipal wastes in
a municipal treatment plant exist now and will increase as higher water
quality standards must be met. In many cases, technology is not available
for determining the effects of industrial wastes on municipal treatment
processes. Cost studies indicate that a major investment, totalling about
$14 billion, will be necessary over the next five years to achieve adequate
levels of treatment for the Nation's municipal wastes.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Award Date: 8-16-69 Project Cost: $2,573,810
Completion Date: 7-31-72 Federal Cost: $991,350
Summary:
The Rocky River Plant will demonstrate physical-chemical treatment
at 10 MOD in place of conventional biological activated sludge.
Polymer flocculants will be used for chemical clarification;
phosphate removal will be effected by use of various coagulants and
coagulant aids. The primary clarified effluent will be passed
through columns of activated carbon for filtration of suspended
solids and adsorption of organic pollutants. Preliminary studies
will be made to select polymers and coagulating chemicals for
achieving the most effective treatment of the full-scale waste
stream. The plant will include sludge disposal from the primary
tanks by anaerobic digestion, digester solids will be incinerated;
digester supernatant will be treated in a small activated sludge
unit which includes mineral addition. Operating procedures,
design criteria and cost information will be developed during the
demonstration phase.

Summary: The project objectives are to demonstrate the ultimate disposal of
digested municipal sewage sludges through use of special agricultural manage-
ment practices to raise crops on land that is receiving an accelerated rate
of application of sewage sludges. It is hoped that an economical scheme for
nonpollutional sludge disposal will result with the additional promise of a
beneficial by-product, agricultural crops.
The project will be the intermediate stage in a development program. The first
phase was the initial feasibility studies. This phase will handle the sludge
from an average sewage flow of 270 MOD. The final goal is to have a full-scale
facility that will have the long-term capacity to utilize the digested sewage
sludge from Chicago's West-Southwest, Calumet and North Side Treatment Plants.
With a 21,500 acre agricultural area, this will be possible for the design
year 2015. This project will establish design criteria for the full-scale
facility.

The primary objective of this grant is to evaluate the effectiveness
of various methods of in-sewer aeration for reducing hydrogen
sulfide problems and to develop design data for future designs.
Facilities constructed previously are two aspirated air U-tube
systems for force mains, one in-line venturi aspirator in a force
main, and one eductor or air-life pump installed in a force main.
Excellent oxygen transfer has been obtained with the U-tube systems.
However, pressure losses are higher and air aspiration rates are
lower than those predicted from pilot studies. Design modifica-
tions to the U-tube systems are needed to optimum system
performance and develop reliable design data for future systems.
This 6-phase program is to modify downleg elbow design, characterize
system performance, and install revised venturi-aspirators to
increase oxygen transfer.

plant tests indicate the due to the nature of the sludge from
the trickling filter plant other alternate methods of pretreatraent
would incur severe economic penalties. On the other hand the
chemical ingredients in the fly ash, which is obtained at no
cost, permits adequate dewatering at minimum cost. In addition,
the trace minerals in the fly ash and the plant food value from
the sludge constitutes a useable soil conditioner. The City of
Cedar Rapids plans to utilize this sludge as a soil conditioner
and fertilizer in their parks.

Completion Date: 12/31/72 Federal Cost: $1, 500,000
. Summary:
This project will convert one of the aeration bays at the Newtown
Creek Pollution Control Plant of the New York City Municipal
waste treatment system to a pure oxygen aeration process, and
demonstrate performance of that system. Project objectives include
verifying the applicability of refitting overloaded or high rate
waste treatment facilities with an oxygen aeration unit to improve
plant performance without new investment in additional aeration
tank capacity. Treatment performance of the oxygenation system
will be evaluated by measurement of BOD, COD, TSS, Vss, ammonia-N,
total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total phosphorous, and ortho phosphate in
both feed and effluent wastewater. Nitrification will be examined
and the applicability of mineral addition to the oxygenation system
as a means of phosphate removal will be evaluated. The plan of
operation following conversion includes a twelve month operating
period during which the oxygenation system will be operated at
progressively higher influent rates, beginning at low capacity
initially and running up through present aeration bay capacity and
the point of system performance breakdown. Effects of diurnal
flow variation will be examined at the design throughput. Phosphate
removal via mineral addition will occur near the midpoint of the
program and last for about four months. Design capacity is 20 MGD.

Project Cost: $1,^5,000
Federal Cost: $1,083,750
Summary: This project is to demonstrate a wastewater management system for
Muskegon County, Michigan. The system will handle combined municipal and
industrial wastewater flows totaling about 32 MGD. The management system is
comprised .of primary treatment at several collection points, transmission to
a central point for treatment in oxidation lagoons, long-term surface storage,
disinfection facilities, and wastewater. irrigation of 10,000 acres of marginal
land for nutrient removal. Water movement in the irrigation area will be
completely controlled with a network of wells, tile drainage lines and ditches.
Two aerated lagoons of ^0 and 30 acres with a depth of 10 feet each are pro-
posed. There would also be two storage lagoons, each approximately 600 acres
in surface area with a working water depth of 10 feet. The purpose of the storage
lagoons is to provide for storage of waste-waters during periods when irrigation
cannot be performed, provide additional treatment and provide sufficient volume
for the storage and treatment of solids. The irrigation system will include
rotating irrigation machines that pivot about a central point and have a radii
between 1,000 and 2,000 feet. This irrigation system will use low pressure,
downward projecting nozzles. The agricultural production phase of the project
will permit an evaluation of the potential economic benefit of using treated
wastewater to grow marketable crops on a large scale production basis . This
project will test the resource recovery potential of this concept at the scale
operation required for attaining necessary- efficiencies of scale in commercial
agricultural production.

Summary: There are six primary objectives in this project: (a) Construct
tertiary wastewater treatment facilities which will enable the typical high-
rate trickling filter plant at Ely, Minnesota, to obtain the very high degree
of phosphorus removal which is postulated to be necessary to reclaim
Shagawa Lake from its present state of advanced eutrophy. The concentration
of total phosphorus in the effluent being sought is 0.05 mg/1 as P, or less;
(b) demonstrate that tertiary wastewater treatment facilities so constructed
in (a) are capable of upgrading effluent quality normally associated with
high-rate trickling filters to meet effluent BOD and suspended solids standards
designated by State of Minnesota as acceptable secondary treatment. The
suggested standards which will apply to Ely's effluent discharge are 25 mg/1
BOD5 and 30 mg/1 suspended solids; (b) begin construction of tertiary waste-
water treatment facilities not ready for "start-up" and "shake-down" by
May 31, 1972; (c) to repair and restore the existing conventional wastewater
treatment facilities at Ely to a high level of operability and reliability by
July 31, 1972; (d) to provide facilities to return to the headworks of the
existing Ely treatment plant for subsequent treatment the maximum practicable
runoff which drains into a channel known as "Stinky Ditch" from adjacent hill-
sides and which now flows untreated into Shagawa Lake; and (e) to operate
the combined wastewater treatment complex to a high degree of efficiency with
maximum practicable removal of phosphorus, BOD, and suspended solids for a
continuous period of three years commencing on or around August 1, 1972, while
concurrent restoration studies are conducted on Shagawa Lake by the MERC of
the Environmental Protection Agency.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Award Date: 10/1/70 Project Cost: $115/219
Completion Date: 1/31/72 Federal Cost: $80,142
Summary:
The objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility
of a pressure sewer system using individual home pump-grinder
units. The pump-grinder unit will be installed in each of five
homes. The sewage from the homes will be ground and pumped through
a common pipe to an existing gravity sewer. The plastic pipe will
run about one-half mile and experience a net elevation rise of
sixty feet. The system will be evaluated over a six-month period.

COMBINED SEWER DISCHARGE
STORM SEWER DISCHARGE
NON-SEWERED RUN-OFF
This program element, combined sewer overflows and storm water dis-
charges, combines three categories of research in municipal pollution
control previously defined within the EPA Water Quality Research Program.
These are combined sewer overflows, storm sewer discharges, and non-sewered
runoff.
Combined sewer overflows and storm sewer discharges constitute a major
pollution problem. The Public Health Service (1964) estimated that sewer
separation would cost the Nation $20 to $30 billion. There are approximately
36 million people, or about 29 percent of the sewered population, served by
combined sewers in roughly 1,329 jurisdictions containing over three million
acres.
Combined sewer overflow sources include interceptor relief points,
pumping stations, treatment plant bypasses and uregulated overflows. An
estimated 53% of the Nation's sewers are subjected to hydraulic overload due
to infiltration. The estimated number of overflow points is 14,000 in 641
jurisdictions surveyed, the average annual BOD load from combined sewer
overflows is roughly 500 pounds per acre served. This does not include addi-
tional loads discharged due to treatment plant upset or flows bypassed at
the plant as a result of storm events. The shock loads on receiving waters
are large. Pollution caused by excess flows in an average urban area can be
as high as eight times that resulting from the dry weather effluent from
secondary treatment plants. There is no rational basis for designing com-
bined sewer capacity on the basis of a wet weather to dry weather flow ratio.
A median value for such a ratio nationally is about 4 to 1, while it is not
uncommon for the combined sewer collection system to deliver 100 times dry
weather flow to the interceptor. The shortcomings of such design are obvious.
Complete separation of the existing combined sewers would reduce the pollutional
load from that source by only about 50 percent.
In 1965, Congress authorized a research, development, and demonstration
program to find lesser cost remedial alternatives than separation. The prime
thrust so far has been directed to combined sewer overflows, though we have
found that storm water discharges carry high pollutant loads (contrary to
long-standing beliefs).
Thus far, over 1QO projects carried out by means of demonstration grants
and contracts have produced much information useful in defining the problem
and in the application of remedial techniques related primarily to combined
sewer overflows. New hardware has also been developed and is now available to
those engaged in planning and constructing remedial works.

This project consisted of the development of a Fluidic Regulator to
minimize combined sewer overflow while protecting interceptors from
overloading. The device diverts overflows as a function of sewer liquid
levels. Installation costs are only slightly more than for conventional
diversion structures, while the operation and maintenance are simple and
minimal. A Final Report on this project has been published entitled
"Design of a Combined Sewer Fluidic Regulator."

This project consists of a demonstration program which will identify the
cause and degree of infiltration of surface and ground water into selected
sewer sections. After establishing the cause and effects of this sur-
charging, remedial action will be taken utilizing internal sewer sealing
with chemicals and pressure grouting. New techniques for chemical appli-
cation will be developed as the work progresses. After and during the
sealing program, data will be analyzed to establish the most effective
and economic technique and material.

Summary: Six polymers were investigated to determine their effects on
increasing pipe carrying capacity while observing toxicity and effects
on sewage treatment. It was found that a maximum flow increase of 2^0$
could be obtained at a constant head. Field tests on a 2^-inch line
demonstrated surcharges of greater than 6 feet could be eliminated by
polymer additions. The polymers were non-toxic to the biota and did
not act as a bio-stimulant for algae. The cost of using polymers during
peak storm conditions was shown to be one-fifth of that for new con-
struction. A Final Report on this project has been published entitled
"Polymers for Sewer Flow Control"

Completion Date: September 3, 197lFederal Cost: $Ul8,862
Summary: This project evaluated the use of a periodic flushing operation
as a means of maintaining lower levels of deposited materials during low-
flow, dry weather periods in combined sewers.
Full scale tests were conducted on two variable-slope test sewers
(12 and l8-inch diameters). During the tests, solids were first allowed
to build up in both test sewers by passing domestic sewage through the
sewers for durations of 12 to Uo hours and then were removed by hydraulic
flushing. The results from the tests showed that flush waves generated
using flush volumes ranging from 300 to 900 gallons at average release
rates ranging from 200 to 3000 gpm were found to remove from 20 to 90
percent of the solids deposited in the 800-foot long test sewers.
A Final Report has been published on this project entitled "A Flushing
System for Combined Sewer Cleansing".

This project consists of the development, demonstration, and evaluation
of the applicability, effectiveness, and economics for physical-chemical
method of treating combined sewage. The basic process to be demonstrated
utilizes powdered activated carbon adsorption, inorganic coagulation,
polyelectrolyte flocculation, sedimentation, and spent carbon regeneration.
Treatment units and process methodology will be specifically designed to
meet the constraints of high and widely fluctuating wastewater volumes,
widely varying wastewater quality, short detention times, intermittent
use, low first cost and economics of operation, and small construction
sites. Beginning with bench-scale design experiments, the process will
be carried through pilot scale operations and detailed evaluation of the
method.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Award Date: December 14, 1967
Completion Date: December 1969
Summary:
A pilot plant was designed, constructed and operated to assess the feasibility
of providing a facility for the collection, treatment, storage and final
disposition of a portion of the storm overflow from a combined sewer system
serving a thirty-acre drainage area in Washington, D. C. A Parshall flume
was installed in the overflow line for measurement of flow rates and
determination of total overflow volume. A portion of the overflow was diverted
to the pilot plant through grit chambers and a comminutor. Flow as stored in
two 100,000-gallon underwater bags fabricated of nylon reinforced synthetic
rubber and fastened to the river bed by a system of patented anchors. During
the period of storage, compressed air was delivered to the tanks for agitation
of the solids. Following cessation of the storm, contents of the bags were
pumped to the interceptor sewer for delivery to the District of Columbia
Sewage Treatment Plant at Blue Plains. Flow into and out of each underwater
storage tank was metered and recorded. Samples of the combined sewage
overflow discharged to the bags and pumped discharge from the bags were
collected and subjected to laboratory analyses. During the operation period
from January through September 1969, a total of 1,600,000-gallons of diverted
overflow from 38-storms was stored in the tanks. In addition, 600,000-gallons
of river water was pumped into the underwater storage tanks for testing during
dry weather periods. The total amount stored was $341,480 or $1.70 per gallon
of storage. The project demonstrated that temporary storage of overflow from
combined sewers in underwater rubber storage tanks is feasible and may, under
suitable conditions, be effective in eliminating direct, untreated discharge
of combined sewage into surface waters during storm periods. A Final Report
has been published entitled "Control of Pollution by Underwater Storage."

. Summary: The objecitves of this two-part project were:
1. To continue the investigation and determination of design criteria for
minimum transport velocities of non-depositing solid-liquid mixtures
* in pipe lines.
2. To further develop a modified Venturi meter to measure mixture flow rate
and concentration simultaneously.
The benefits were to include improved design and operation of pressure lines
for the transport of ground sanitary sewage. Such pressure lines would be
used for combined sewer separation and control of overflows of combined
sewage to streams, as developed by the combined sewer separation project
of the American Society of Civil Engineers (FWPCA contract no. 14-12-29).
Results of first year's study were inconclusive and further funding was not
recommended.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Award Date: November 3, 1966 Project Cost: $347,710
Completion Date: October 1969 Federal Cost: $347,710
. Summary: This project concerned the separation of community wastewaters and
runoff from rainfall and snowmelt in areas presently served by combi ad and
intercepting sewers. Separation is accomplished by withdrawing the v-astewater
fraction of flows from existing plumbing systems and passing it through a
sequence of added systems components as follows: (1) a storage, grinding and'
pumping building; (2) pressure tubing fished from the unit through each exist-
ing building sewer into the existing combined sewer; and (3) pressure piping
inserted in that sewer and extending to the existing intercepting sewers that
carry the wastewaters to treatment and disposal works.
The feasibility of storing, grinding and pumping sewage from individual
residences has been established; and standard comminuting and pumping equip-
ment will be satisfactory for serving larger buildings. Acceptable types of '
pressure tubing are available that can be entered by workmen. There are
combined sewer areas that can be separated most effectively by a version of the
method investigated, but generally pressure systems will cost more than new
gravity systems. New capabilities developed appear to be of potentially greater
use for applications other than separation, such as new construction including
c;ility corridors, and introduce viable alternatives for design of wastewater
sewerage.
A Final Report has been published on this project entitled "Combined
Sewer Separation Using Pressure Sewers."

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Award Date: May 25, 1966 Project Cost: $1,741,500
Completion Date: March 1971 Federal Cost: $ 870,750
Summary: A mathematical model has been prepared that will, with rain gage data
as input, perform rainfall runoff analysis, diversion of combined sewer runoff
hydrographs at regulators, and routing of diverted hydrographs through the inter-
ceptor system. This model will assist in operation of che system to retain
combined newer flows and utilize the maximum flow capacity of the existing
interceptor sewer system.
The 1.75 million dollar project includes a computer-based data acquisition and
control system that permits remote control of modified combined sewage regulators.
Data from rain gages, regulator control devices, trunk sewers and interceptors,
and river quality monitors provide real-time operating information. Time varient
quality data from key locations in the sewer system were obtained by atuomated
analysis of numerous hourly samples.
The reduction in folume of combined overflow to the river is estimated to be
between 35% and 70% during the runoff season. The unmodified combined sewer
system captured about 65% of the urban runoff. Where modified, the system
captured about 77% of the urban runoff. A Final Report has been published on
this project entitled "Dispatching System for Control of Combined Sewer Losses."

Summary: The project will demonstrate the effectiveness of a detention tank
including chlorination facilities for the treatment of combined sewer overflows
from a 570 acre urban area. The tank influent will be screened. The tank
will be designed to provide a minimum of 15 minutes detention time for
sedimentation and chlorination. After an overflow the sludge deposits and
remaining wastewater will be pumped to a nearby interceptor sewer for treat-
ment at an existing treatment plant.
Because of the complex nature of the combined sewer system, eight in-system
monitoring stations will record flows and sample the overflows.
The overflows presently discharge to the Milwaukee River, seriously impairing
most beneficial water uses. Three river monitoring stations will record the
dissolved oxygen and temperature, and provide for the collection of river
samples to determine the effects of the proposed project on the river water
quality.
All data will be analyzed to relate the effectiveness with operation and costs,
inclusive of benefits received. Results will be utilized to develop a
method for optimizing the design of such facilities and establish relationships
to other approaches for achieving comparable results.

attributed to soil and grease clogging the breaks, as was observed in
subsequent television inspection. Infiltration has been found to. vary with
time. The high infiltration rates were attributed to poor construction
methods used by contractors on the main sewer system and by plumbers on house
connections. A survey of 1600 manholes showed 3.5 percent to have infiltration
at the time of the inspection and others likely to develop infiltration during
periods of heavy rainfalls. Most of these could be easily repaired to prevent
infiltration. Poor construction procedures are considered to be the most
significant contributor to infiltration and sewer failure. This situation
can be remedied by modification and elimination through adequate sewer
construction.
A Final Report on this project has been published entitled "Sewer Bedding
and Infiltration - Gulf Coast Area".

Summary: The New York State Department of Health has undertaken a 21 month
project to install, demonstrate and evaluate a pressure sewer system which
could be utilized to separate sanitary sewage from combined sanitary sewage
and storm water. A pilot-scale system will be designed to serve 11-12 houses
in a redevelopment area in Albany, New York, presently served by combined
sewers. Prototype pump-grinder units developed by the General Electric
Company as a part of the ASCE Contract (lU-12-29) would be utilized to convey
sewage from the home to the pressure sewer in the street.
Four principal objectives are incorporated in the project: (l) monitoring,
evaluation of the prototype pump-grinder units to determine reliability and
need for modification or redesign. (2) test durability of the units operating
singly and in concern (manifolded to common pressure sewer). (3) provide
proof of the field suitability of the assemblage, which should be considered
a module of a larger pressure system. (U) provide new data which would be
invaluable in subsequent pressure system applications.

Summary: The project consists of the design, construction and evaluation of a
permanent polymer injection station on the Bachman Creek Sewer in Dallas, Texas
The project will further demonstrate and evaluate a technique developed
earlier for PWPCA by contract which utilizes injection of polymers into a
sewer for the purpose of increasing the carrying capacity of the pipe.
During periods of wet weather the Bachman Creek sewer receives excess
quantities of ground or storm water due to infiltration. The flow
then exceeds its carrying capacity and untreated wastes overflow in at
least 10 locations, causing pollution of Bachman Creek. The project
will seek to eliminate or greatly reduce the number and volume of un-
treated overflows by increasing the flow capacity of the Bachman Creek
Sewer through the addition of polymers. Design criteria, operating
techniques, optimum polymer concentration and other pertinent data critical
to the intended use will be evaluated.

. Summary: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate off-shore
underwater temporary storage of storm overflow from a combined sewer
in flexible tanks. Site selection, model testing, system design,
construction, and one year's operation were conducted under the
study.
A pilot demonstration facility was constructed in Sandusky, Ohio
where combined sewer overflow from a 14.86-acre residential drainage
area was directed to two-100,000 gallon collapsible tanks anchored
underwater in Lake Erie. The stored overflows were pumped back to
the sewer system after a storm event for subsequent treatment.
During the year's operation, a total of 988,000 gallons of storm
overflow was contained and returned for treatment.
As constructed, the facility cost was about $1,88 per gallon
of storage capacity while future projections indicate costs of less
than $0.40 per gallon possible.
Evaluation of the underwater storage system in controlling
combined sewer pollution, comparison of cost with other storage
methods and other combined sewer pollution control methods, operation-
al difficulties and recommendations of an improved system are
included in the study report.
A final report has been published on this project, entitled
"Underwater Storage of Combined Sewer Overflows."

The City of Richmond will demonstrate that by-passing of sewage during
construction of sewage treatment works can be avoided by applying ingenuity
in the areas of engineering design and construction. The project will
demonstrate the application of a flexible alternative to the common practice
of by-passing raw sewage during construction. The demonstration project
includes the construction of a supplemental pumping system incorporating a
special diversion device which will permit the wastewater treatment plant
to remain on-stream during the tie-in of critical elements of the treatment
works. The system will be designed so that it will not only achieve by-pass
prevention, but will also demonstrate the use of expeditious, low-cost
techniques that may include removable dredge or other pumps which can be
utilized in other portions of the sewerage system or loaned to other
communities with by-pass problems.
The City will maintain detailed records, including pictorial information,
relating to the design, construction, operation and maintenance during the
entire project period and will evaluate the data to assess the value of the
techniques employed for potential nationwide application.

used in the design, construction and operation of a full-size combined
sewer fluidic regulator installed in two typical locations in the
Philadelphia sewer system.
Specific objectives of the project are: (1) Design, construct and operation
of a fluidic regulator for a flow range below 2 CFS with a minimum of re-
construction, and one for a 4 CFS peak dry weather flow. The automatic
control of overflows will be done by sensing the interceptor level. No over-
flows will occur until the interceptor reaches a predetermined limit; (2)
assembly of data from a one year evaluation and testing program, so that the
application of fluidics to sewer regulator design can be demonstrated on a
full-scale basis.

.Summary: A conduit, diameter 7 ft., is being constructed to drain new highway
construction and relieve a combined sewer outfall which now discharges above
the Amelia Earhart dam on the Mystic river. The goal is to improve water
quality above the dam for recreational purposes by removing a point source
of pollution while providing treatment to the excess flow during transport
to the new outfall site. The objectives are to develop, demonstrate and
evaluate the effectiveness and cost of utilizing screening and a high density
electrolytic cell technique for the generation of sodium hypochlorite to
treat excess combined sewage.
Project implementation will include construction of screening facilities, a
compact chlorine generation plant and a seven foot diameter, 2,700 ft. long
discharge conduit (Somerville Marginal Conduit). The conduit will serve as
the chlorine contact portion of the treatment facility, with the capability
to regulate flow in a manner which will permit variation of chlorine contact
time. Optimum land use will be obtained by utilizing space under a highway
access ramp as a facility site. Effectiveness of chlorine (hypochlorite)
generation and all other pertinent aspects of the treatment method will be
fully evaluated in terms of cost and efficiency of treatment. Disinfection
of the electrolytic cells will be subject to detailed evaluation including
optimization of cell geometry, electric current consumption, cell efficiencies
and other pertinent factors relating to field application of this and similar
units at other locations.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

Completion Date: February 1, 1973 Federal Cost: $359,568
. Summary: Inflow of storm water to the City of Rohnert Park sanitary sewer
system causes peak wet weather flow of up to 10 times the average dry weather
flow. As a result, the treatment plant becomes ineffective for period of several
weeks .
A new combined sedimentation and flow equalization pond will be constructed to
include an unique sludge collection system for use during wet weather and an
aerator for dry weather use only. All excess wet weather overflow from this
pond would be delivered to a storage and chlorination pond (the existing
oxidation pond) , and would be released to the receiving stream after about two
days detention and chlorine contact. Dry weather flow and solids collected in
the equalization pond would underflow to the existing primary sedimentation
basin and sludge digester. Achievement of a nearly constant underflow would
serve to demonstrate its effect on operation of the existing facility, and to
demonstrate the feasibility of designing a less costly interceptor sewer for
later transport of the underflow to a Regional treatment plant. Extension of this
system to other plants in the area could serve to reduce the cost of a Regional
plant.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Award Date: September 15, 1970 Project Cost: $1,380,800
Completion Date: December 31, 1972 Federal Cost: $ 868,700
Summary: The project objective is to provide a means for high rate biological
adsorptive treatment of combined sewage by the utilization of viable activated
sludge, clarification, and disinfection. The method will be to store activated.
sludge in a biosolids reservoir and maintain a contact tank and a solids
stabilization tank in an empty and ready condition at a location adjacent to
the sewage treatment plant. When a rain event occurs, the excess combined
sewage is directed to the contact tank and the activated sludge solids pro-
portioned in. After a contact period (15 - 30 minutes) during which pollut-
ants are adsorbed by the biosolids, the mixed liquor is discharged to a clari-
fier for solids/liquid separation. The effluent is disinfected and discharged
to receiving waters. The sludge solids are discharged to the stabilization
tank and reused or sent to digestion facilities as required.
The State of Wisconsin appreciates the City's problem and needs. The State
also recognizes the real and potential benefits this demonstration will
provide. Consequently, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will
contribute $299,600 in support of the construction costs and to ensure con-
tinuation of the project. The willingness of the State to participate at this
high level on a demonstration project indicates the high priority they place
on evaluating and utilizing this concept for treatment of cembined sewer over-
flows. In addition, this partnership of City, State and Federal agencies in
demonstrating and evaluating new approaches to solution of water pollution
problems is the type of operation we wish to encourage.

problems. The contractor has several innovations in screen configuration
and combinations to be constructed and demonstrated which may reduce these
operating difficulties.
Development of such devices, which are compact and adaptable, are needed
for primary treatment of excess combined sewage at low initial cost. The

.Summary: The objective of this project is to install, demonstrate.
and evaluate newly developed ultrasonic velocity measurement
equipment, in conjunction with off-the-shelf ultrasonic level
measurement equipment, for measurement of sewage volume flow. The
equipment is said to be of sufficiently low cost to achieve general
use. can be conveniently installed in sewers, will require minimal
maintenance, and will be suited to long term operation in the sewer
environment.
Two existing sewers in the Milwaukee sewerage system, one twelve
and one-half feet and the other five feet in diameter, will be
thus equipped. Performance of the ultrasonic meters will be
compared with other metering devices and methods presently used
in the system.
Relationships between average volume flow, water level, and
average velocity along selected horizontal chords of the sewer
cross-sections will be determined. Prom these a procedure will
be developed for automatic calculation of sewage volume flow from
signal inputs of chordal velocity and water level. A continuous
record of flow will be displayed.

Federal Cost: $137,200
Summary: This project is to design, fabricate, and test an improved device
for measuring wastewater flow in sewers, particularly to meet the very
severe requirements for measuring and recording flows in storm sewers and
in combined sewers. The objective is to develop a device which will be
capable of measuring a full range of open-channel flow in a closed conduit,
and flow with the conduit flowing full and under pressure. Its operation
is not to be seriously affected by the movement of solids such as-sand,
gravel, and debris within the fluid flow, and capability for installation
in confined and moisture-laden spaces such as sewer manholes is necessary.
Ultimate reasonable production cost, and a 5 percent plus or minus accuracy
are planned.
The device to be developed depends on the unique properties of the
electrical capacitance of a sewer cross-section, with the wastewater form-
ing a portion of the dielectric. Velocity is measured by the steam induced
heat pulse tracer technique.

12-inch vibratory sewer flowmeter capable of meeting the very

The flowmeter to be developed will operate on the principle that
the reaction of flowing material to a mechanical vibration applied
to the stream boundary in a direction transverse to the direction
of flow is a direct measure of mass flow rate. The essential
elements are an actuator to impart a vibratory force or motion to
the flowing material, and a sensor to measure the reaction.

Summary:
This project consists of an investigation into the feasibility of utilizing
a remote sensing technique consisting of a pulsed radar system capable of
penetrating soil to depths of 10 to 20 feet. The system will provide a
chart record of the dielectric interfaces detected by the radar signal as
the radiating and receiving antenna is moved across the ground. The
objective is to evaluate a new surveying instrument which will provide
accurate subsurface information with respect to the location of rock, pipe,
obstacles and other anomalies. If successful this instrument would have
wide application in determining subsurface conditions and thereby more
reliable cost estimating for laying and repairing sewer lines. Another
broad application would be in non-destructive testing for such things
as locating reinforcing bars.

experimental model studies. The results of the program will be
a set of parametric curves which indicate the effectiveness of
friction reducing additives on open channel flow as a function of
channel geometry/ slope, and polymer concentration.
In addition, a study will be made to determine polymer additive
effectiveness on energy dissipaters such as jumps and spillways
(considering their use as flow measuring devices and as overflow
regulators).

This project consisted of an investigation of the pollution concentrations
and loads from storm water runoff in an urban area. The scope of the
project included: a field assessment of the storm water pollution by
obtaining samples of the water resulting from precipitation and surface
runoff; development of an analytical procedure for correlation of storm
water pollution with selectively defined variables of land uses,
environmental conditions, drainage characteristics, and precipitation;
and development of a plan for implementing remedial measures necessary
to abate or control sources of pollution in an urban area. Storm water
runoff samples were collected from 15 "discrete" test areas in the
Tulsa, Oklahoma, metropolitan area for laboratory analysis in terms of
quality standards for BOD, COD, TOG, organic Kjeldahl nitrogen, soluble
orthophosphate, chloride, pH, solids, total coliform, fecal coliform,

. Summary:
The major objectives of this effort are to delineate overall pollution loads
to stormwater runoff resulting from vehicular traffic and roadway usage; to
determine the specific impact and contribution of motor vehicles as different-
iated from other sources of pollution to the roadway environment; to analyze
collected dust and dirt fractions and flush water for conventional, non-con-
ventional, and toxic waste components; to determine the origin of pollutants
as to the particular part or operational mode of motor vehicles causing these
pollutants; and most important, to develop recommendations for general and
specific control measures to abate pollution in the roadway (and roadside)
environment.
The project will be an important definitive work directly bearing on on-going
and future R&M efforts dealing with urban storm water pollution. The findings
will be significant in determining future joint city/state actions for overall
pollution prevention and control.

WATER QUALITY CONTROL
The National Water Quality Control Research Program is responsible
for conceiving, developing, and field testing methodology for the
improvement of water quality by means other than conventional waste
treatment. This includes, but is by no means limited to: research
on methods of modifying environmental conditions to minimize or reduce
pollutional effects; changes in product technology to eliminate or
reduce pollutants; techniques of managing waste discharges and their
receiving waters to minimize pollutional effects; and the utilization
of soil for the treatment of liquid wastes and sludges.
The activities of the Program are divided into the following four
areas according to common methodology and objectives:
Soil Treatment Technology--Research and development related to the
utilization of soils for the treatment of liquid wastes and sludges.
Research includes the adaptability of different soil systems to the
treatment of various wastes, microbiological processes involving soil
bacteria, physical-chemical interactions of pollutants with soils, the
development of the concepts of soil-sludge interactions, and the
development of design and operating criteria for practical application.
Environmental Control Technology—Research to provide the technology
to minimize or reduce pollutional effects through modification of
environmental conditions such as in-stream aeration, reservoir de-
stratification, in situ chemical treatment, and control of pollution
from bottom sediments; and research into methodologies for minimizing
pollutional effects by managing waste discharges and/or their receiving
waters such as by dispersion, eteention, diversion, dilution, or flow
regulation.
Biological/Ecological Control Technology--Research directed to the
development of treatment applications, environmental management, and
ecological technology development. This includes the development of
non-conventional biological mechanisms for treatment of point-source
pollutants, development of regulatory mechanisms to achieve a greater
measure of control of the aquatic food chain to diminish the adverse
effects of non-point-source pollutants, and development of ecological
technology to maximize protection and utilization of aquatic resources.
Product Control Technology—Research related to the control of pollution
from multiple sources by modification of consumer products.

The principal objective is development of a digital simulation model which
will simulate inorganic water-quality records under various regimes of
flow and waste disposal in complex hydrologic systems which include
ground-water and dispersed components. A second objective is to develop
methodology for building a water-quality model from intensive, short-term
water-quality records. Although the model is being developed on the
Tahoe-Truckee system, basic concepts used in its formulation are
independent of the system, permitting transfer of the conceptual model
to similar hydrologic systems. Application of the model to the Tahoe-
Truckee system will have the side benefit of enabling evaluation of
the effects of man's actions to manage flow and water quality or to
degrade water quality in the Truckee system.

. Summary:
This project will demonstrate the development of heavy duty home laundry
detergents that contain no phosphates, are highly biodegradable, non-toxic
to aquatic organisms under both chronic and acute tests, have significantly
reduced biostimulatory properties compared to phosphate, and can satisfy the
demands placed on a detergent by consumers. This is a four phase study of
which phases I, II, III involving synthesis and testing of the candidate
detergents. A future project, phase IV, which may be considered later on,
involves testing the formulations in a market evaluation study. It is
anticipated that this contract effort will aid in the control of
eutrophication by reducing the phosphate entering the aquatic environment
from one of the major pollutant sources--home laundry detergents. Contract
modified to include the testing of commercially available phosphate -free
detergents. Contract modified to include purchase of necessary equipment.

Completion Date: March 31, 1972 Federal Cost: $46,080
Summary:
/
Water quality control in impoundments has conventionally been controlled
through destratification. Destratification has definite adverse effects,
principally increasing algal productivity and destroying the beneficial cold
water resource of the hypolimnion. The objective of this study is to
investigate water quality control within the hypolimnion through injection
of commercial oxygen while maintaining stratified conditions. Commercial
oxygen is economically attractive and complete absorption within the
hypolimnion is possible when small oxygen bubbles are injected at sufficient
depths. The specific objectives are as follows: (1) Experimentally
determine the effect of bubble size and injection depth on oxygen absorption
characteristics; (2) Evaluate the flow pattern and spatial distribution of
dissolved oxygen in the vicinity of a single oxygen disperser at various
oxygen injection rates; (3) Develop computer simulation of hypolimnion
aeration using experimentally derived parameters.

Completion Date: April 30, 1973 Federal Cost: $75,461
. Summary:
Current research attempting to arrive at economically feasible and effective
treatment of wastewater from small municipalities has focused on improvement
of the activated sludge process, stabilization ponds and other such
traditional methods. Research has shown that utilization of marsh vegetation,
which can readily be harvested, is a possible answer to the secondary and
tertiary treatment problems. The absorptive removal of nitrogen and
phosphorus and also resistant organics, such as high molecular weight
phenolics has been claimed as a principal advantage of passage of effluents
through beds of growing emergent water plants. If this treatment were
found to be economically feasible and effective in northern climates, it
may have widespread application as a pollution abatement method. This
grant proposal is designed to demonstrate the applicability of the "marsh"
treatment to control and/or prevent water pollution caused by wastewater
discharged from small municipalities.

Summary:
The objective of the project is to develop new and effective methods for
controlling pollution from mercury-laden bottom deposits in streams and
lakes. Under anaerobic conditions found in some bottom sediments,
dissolved mercury exhibits a tendency to precipitate as the highly
insoluble mercuric sulfide. This appears to be a significant natural
scavenging process which occurs without destroying the ecological balance
of the aquatic organisms in the contaminated area of concern. Experiments
are designed to expand and enhance the natural scavenging process by
artificially supplementing the reaction through use of sulfur-based
mercury "getter" systems coated onto recoverable substrates. Inter-
relationships of redox conditions, pH, and organic content of the
sediments will be investigated with regard to volume, and chemical
nature of the pollutants.

. Summary:
Three different approaches for controlling pollution from mercury-laden
bottom deposits of streams and lakes will be evaluated in the laboratory
as follows:
i
1. Dredging and beneficiation--Various beneficiation procedures
including flotation and chemical process will be evaluated. If the
mercury can be successfully removed from the sediments, sediment disposal
problems will be reduced.
2. Chemical-physical sealing in place--These studies will consist
of using scrap iron turnings to reduce the rate of transport of mercury
from sediments to the overlying water. An overburden of clay or other
material will be placed over the iron to further reduce mercury .transport,
act as a binder to hold the iron in place, and reduce the oxidation rate of
the iron.
3. Enzyme inhibitors--This study will be directed to the
interruption of the methylation process thus preventing the formation of
the highly toxic and water soluble methyl mercury.

Summary:
The object of the project is to develop new and effective methods for
controlling pollution from mercury-laden bottom deposits in streams and
lakes. The approach of this research is to develop a barrier film which
can be formed in situ to cover contaminated bottom sediments. Polymer film
blankets will be developed and tested to determine their effectiveness
for sealing-in mercury contaminants contained in bottom sediments. The
continued generation of dimethyl mercury under anaerobic conditions
established by the polymer film is of concern. Consequently, efforts
will be directed toward developing a material which forms an impermeable
membrane to solubles present beneath it and which has efficient
scavenging properties.

COLD CLIMATE RESEARCH
The objectives of EPA for Arctic water quality research are
to provide the basis for establishing equitable and effective
water quality criteria requirements, and to provide the tools
(waste treatment and control technology) to meet these requirements.
The program is carried out under Sections 6a(2) and 5 of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act. Specific, separate authorizations
for the demonstration of environmental systems for Native Alaska
Villages is contained in Section 20 of the FWPC Act.
Federal involvement in Arctic water pollution control
research must provide the supporting facts to aid development
of equitable and appropriate water quality criteria that protect
the aquatic environment while allowing economic development to
take place. Arctic aquatic systems are abnormally stressed under
natural conditions because of the Arctic environment. It is
essential to obtain a clear understanding of the added stress
caused by man's waste materials and activities. Water quality
criteria must be responsive to the needs of particular aquatic
systems. This requires substantial supporting facts which will
allow reasonable levels of protection to be established.
The high cost of constructing and operating treatment
facilities in the Arctic makes it necessary to develop new
approaches to waste handling, treatment and final disposal.
Thought needs to be given to such radical innovations as the
development of non-water carriage sewage collection systems.
Systems must be developed that require a minimum of protection
from the harsh climate.
The program is divided into two areas: waste treatment and
control technology and water quality studies. The waste treatment
and control technology area includes the development and
demonstration of cold climate treatment processes, oil spill
cleanup technology and pollution control through land management.
The water quality criteria area includes investigations of the
cold climate ecosystem and studies of the fate and effect of
pollutants.

Completion Date: November 30, 1972 Federal Cost: $22,035
Summary:
This laboratory study will be done with raw sewage from a municipal plant
and basic studies will be at 5°C with comparison tests at 1° and 10°C and
possibly at 15°C. Indices of pathogens will be used to determine survival
or death - coliforms and fecal coliforms. Exposure time and pH effect on
the bacteria will be determined at each temperature. Relative effectiveness
of disinfection of the bacteria in the liquid as well as the flocculated
phases of sewage will be determined. If adequately high pH levels cannot
be reached effectively with lime, the possible use of commercial grade
caustics will be investigated. Some preliminary cost - effectiveness
determinations should result. The effect of this lime treatment on
phosphate removal will also be observed. As part of this project,
experiments will be conducted on the effectiveness of lime treatment
on secondary effluents.

DISSOLVED NUTRIENT REMOVAL
Over the past several years, this sub-program element has produced
significant results in developing new treatment processes such as the
addition of iron and aluminum for phosphorus removal, and stage nitrifi-
cation and biological denitrification for nitrogen removal. The technology
has been implemented into full-scale municipal designs. Technology has
been developed and implemented in physical-chemical means for removing
ammonia-nitrogen in the form of stripping at Lake Tahoe, ion-exchange and
breakpoint chlorination.
Nearly 6.0 million dollars have been expended in this area in recent
years with approximately 50% of the total allocated to phosphorus removal.
The major accomplishments can be measured in terms of improved treatment
capability, quality and economy.
Significant gains in the area of nutrient removal have been made, and
the ensuing years should see an improvement in the capability of chemical
dosing control technology to minimize costs and solids handling. Attention
must be directed to solving the treatment problems associated with control
of nitrogen. The ensuing years will see a significant upsurge of interest
in nitrogen control. Therefore, innovative techniques must be developed
to meet the thrust of that interest, and to provide the answers needed for
implementation of technology required for satisfying the water quality
standards of the '70's and 80's.

Summary:
The objective of this contract was to determine the practibility of using
chemically modified and regenerable Vermiculites for the removal of phosphate
from wastewater.
The treatment method proposed was an ion exchange process which made use
of relatively inexpensive vermiculite and which should have been highly
selective for phosphate. The contractor treated the vermiculite to increase
its phosphate-sorbing capacity and determined the maximum phosphate removal
and cost for the chemical treatment. The study also included a determination
of the feasibility of regenerating the phosphate-loaded vermuclite so
it may be reused to treat more wastewater.

Summary:
Objective is to determine under closely controlled conditions the minimum
ratio of .methyl alcohol to nitrate-nitrogen for efficient biological
denitrification and to determine the effect of temperature on both this
ratio and the rate of denitrification. The experimental system included
both suspended growth and packed column reactors.
The most efficient C1LOH; NO^-N ratio is between 2:1 and 3:1, but it
varies slightly with temperature. Dissolved Oxygen was not a major factor
governing the efficiency of either of the two denitrifying units employed,
but effective denitrification at lower temperatures and high dissolved Oxygen
content required ratios equal to or slightly greater than 3:1.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

Completion Date: April 1970 Federal Cost: $79, 118
Summary:
A program to incorporate biological denitrification into a wastewater treatment
system was undertaken with the objective of developing a process that depends
exclusively on the carbon compounds contained in the wastewater to supply meta-
bolic energy to the microflora. In the experimental program the incoming
nitrogenous material was oxidized to nitrate in an aerobic phase and reduced to
nitrogen gas in an anaerobic phase. Conditions for developing anitrifying
microflora were investigated using a primary wastewater effluent as feed. Flows
into the system were varied to give a range of residence times. Anaerobic batch
experiments were carried out to determine if stored reserves could support
denitrification. Under appropriate conditions almost 100$ of the nitrates could
be reduced. The effluent from the aerobic unit served as the feed for the anaerobic
process. At appropriate intervals this situation was reversed by switching the
airflows and feed sources. Over 95% of the wastewater nitrogen in wastewater
was removed. Nitrate-nitrogen removal rates ranged from 0.600 to 1.00 mg/hr/g
MLVS. A mathematical model was developed which described the response to
cycled aerobic-anaerobic operation. The alternating cycle approach was shown
to be an effective method for removing nitrogen from wastewater.

A laboratory investigation of the steps of a new process for phosphate
removal from waste water will be performed. This process involves
lanthanum precipitation of the phosphate followed by an alkali lanthanum
recovery cycle. The purpose of the program is to assess the
technical feasibility of the process.
The speed and completeness of phosphate removal, and of each of the
other process steps, as well as the extent of lanthanum and other reagent
losses, will be determined parametrically in batch laboratory test using
both pure solutions and sample water obtained from local treatment plants.
Prom the results of the laboratory investigation, the technical
feasibility of the process and an initial estimate of possible process
economics may be determined. The results will also serve as a basis for
design of an intergrated laboratory process demonstration unit, which
in turn would provide design data for an actual process demonstration
pilot plant.

The objective of this proposal is to develop a process for the efficient
nitrification of effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants.
The process is to operate effectively at wastewater temperatures as low
as 5°C as well as at the higher temperatures normally encountered in
the field. The process termed the submerged filter will be similar
in operation to the anaerobic filter which has demonstrated
effectiveness for efficient biological solids capture, especially
where biological solids production is low and long generation times
are encountered. For these reasons, the submerged filter offers
excellent promise of achieving nitrification under the stated conditions.

feasibility of ammonium ion removal, with a modified form of this process
using cation permeable membranes, will be examined. Chemical recovery, or
recycle, possibilities will be examined, for the phosphate removal system
alone and in combination with the anmonium removal system. This effort will
include the consideration of regenerant chemicals other than sodium chloride.

Summary:
The objective is to determine the reliability, efficiency and economics
of the phosphorus removal process as developed by E. P. Barth and
M. B. Ettinger of CWRL. The plan is to divide the three-month test
period into three month-long tests as follows:
1. First month - Sodium aluminate addition.
2. Second month - Aluminum sulfate addition; lime will be added
as necessary to maintain phosphate removal.
3. Third month - Both aluminum sulfate and sodium aluminate
addition, the relative quantities being adjusted to maintain
the pH at the optimum determined above.
Aluminum dosage in proportion to the phosphorus concentration will be
optimized. The aluminum salt solutions will be added to the wastewater
before the point of entry of the primary effluent into the aerator.

DISSOLVED REFRACTORY ORGANICS REMOVAL
-------
DISSOLVED REFRACTORY ORGANICS REMOVAL
The classification of refractory organics may be more broadly
defined as organic material which are not effectively removed by
conventional biological processes. Their removal may be necessary
for municipal sectors to achieve compliance with present and future
water quality standards. They also may be detrimental to the quality
of surface or groundwaters because of their toxic, oxygen demanding
or aesthetic effects. In areas where wastewater reuse is dictated by
circumstances or where it is under consideration, their removal takes
on added significance because of their additive effect during normal
domestic use.
The most technically advanced process for refractory organics
removal is adsorption on activated granular carbon. An alternate
process replaces the AGC with activated powdered carbon to take
advantage of its lower cost. However, both process require reactivation
of the carbon to permit its reuse for economic benefits.
Other processes are available for removal of refractory organics.
Among them are chemical oxidation and reverse osmosis. Additional
studies on reverse osmosis are located in section 17040.

Summary:
This is a proposal of Arde, Incorporated to investigate the applicability of
ARDOX catalysts to oxidize organic constituents in sewage effluents by use of
gaseous oxygen. Extensive, but preliminary, in-house laboratory tests have
shown that the oxygen can contact and oxidize secondary effluent or dilute ABS
solution in the presence of the unsupported catalyst in an agitated batch reactor
(Waring Blender) or in the presence of a supported catalyst in a flow reactor
(spray contact or atomizing contact). The oxidation of the effluent in these
reactors occurs at HO to 70°F and 0 to 1 psig.

Summary:
A mathematical model has been devised to simulate the adsorption and
filtration of waste water in an isothermal column packed with granular
activated carbon. The adsorption process is considered to be controlled
by a combination of liquid phase diffusion and interparticle diffusion
which can be approximated by a solid phase rate expression based
upon Glueckauf's Linear Driving Force. The filtration rate equation
is assumed to be the same as that of filtration of clay suspension
in a carbon bed, which was investigated experimentally as a companion
study in this work. The effects of column backwashlng and regeneration
are also included in the model.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Award Date: April 23, 1970 Project Cost: $ms,000
Completion Date: December 31, 1972 Federal Cost: $1«»5,000
Summary:
The objective of this contract is to determine the technical and economic
feasibility of cross-flow filtration for the separation and concentration
of powdered activated carbon from various municipal waste streams including
primary effluent, clarified primary effluent and secondary effluent. Cross-
flow filtration may be defined for purposed of this contract as a
separation process in which powdered activated carbon suspensions flow under
pressure tangentially past a porous support, such as woven fiber hose, with
hydrodynamic conditions adjusted such that excessive cake buildup on the
filter medium is prevented. The object will be to remove adsorbent carbon
from these feed streams and to concentrate it at high production rates.
Variables to be examined will include the following: Operating pressure,
carbon concentration, carbon-to-sewage ratio, contact time, support structure
and cross-flow velocity. Effectiveness of the technique will be judged
primarily on the basis of fluxes obtained, clarity of the product and organic
carbon removal.

Summary:
The object of this study is to understand the importance of electrode
potential measurements to anaerobic digestion.
Two banks of laboratory digesters, consisting of three units in each bank,
were used to study the effects of chemical poisoning as compared to
electrical poisoning.
Dual compartment digestion units were used with dialysis membranes
separating the acid forming from the methane forming bacteria. In one
such unit mixed cultures were studied, while in the other, pure cultures
of methane organisms were fed through the membrane by mixed cultures
of acid formers. Electrode potentials and other parameters were observed.
A conical head digester determined the instantaneous response of the
unit in terms of gaseous components to perturbations.

SUSPENDED AND COLLOIDAL SOLIDS REMOVAL
The topics of coagulation, flocculation, flotation, filtration
and sedimentation are investigated in this subprogram. Emerging from
those efforts are significant insights and technology advances in the
technology of filtration kinetics, metal addition, use of polyelectrolytes
to improve coagulation and new and improved filtration methods.
From data gathered in the pilot plant and demonstration programs,
design criteria were collected, and published in the form of a design
manual covering the subject of suspended and colloidal solids removal.
The topics of flow equalization, coagulation of wastewater, chemicals
and feeding, chemical processes, gravity systems, physical straining
processes, deep bed filtration as well as operation, maintenance and
equipment costs are reviewed in the manual.

Summary:
Modern filter theory has shown that present design granular filters
used in water purification are inefficient. This is due to the configuration
of the grains after upward flow washing which puts the finest grains at the
top inlet face of the filter and coarsest at the bottom otttlet. A more rational
design would reverse this size gradation so that water containing particles in
suspension enter the coarsest grains first, passing through subsequently finer
and finer media. Such a configuration can only be maintained as hydraulically
stable if the coarse grains are the least dense and the fine grains are the
most dense. Such a density and size graded three layer filter of anthracite
sand and garnet has already been operated experimentally with particulate
suspensions, and the theory confirmed. It is proposed to extend this work
to multiple layers, and to use flocculent suspensions which are more frequently
encountered in practice.

Summary:
The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an
upflow sand filter as a method of tertiary and secondary wastewater treatment.
Treatment efficiencies of effluents from a high rate trickling filter plant,
from the high rate filter without further clarification, and directly from the
primary clarifier will be determined. Chemical flocculants and coagulants of
various types and in varying amounts will be investigated so as to determine
comparative benefits to filter operation, to establish optimum dosage, and to
indicate cost of operation.
An upflow filter installation with a maximum capacity of 1.0 M3D will be
installed at the existing Camp Plauche Sewage Treatment Plant No. 2. This is
an existing high rate filter plant with a capacity of 3.75 MOD.

This project is an expansion of the concentrated program which is being carried out
at our laboratory with the primary aim to elucidate the flocculation effects of
various polyelectrolytes and metal chelates on a variety of aqueous colloidal
systems.. In addition, it is proposed to develop a new family of cationic polymeric
chelafce flocculents which are expected to be extremely efficient in water
purification and water renovation processes. It has been shown that the coagulation
ability of a metal ion can be significantly enhanced by its chelation. Using
properly chosen ligands the coagulation concentration could be reduced by more
than four orders of magnitude. In our opinion, the incorporation of such chelate
ions Into polymer chains should result in flocculating agents which could be
"tailored" for specific application. It is proposed to investigate a variety of
colloidal systems such as clays, silver halides, silica and microcrystalline
cellulose with regard to their stability towards polymeric chelates.

Originally this project was structured to evaluate from secondary effluent by
foam filtrationtechniquej but Bench Scale Cost Analysis indicated
that such a process, while technically feasible, was very costly,
about H7C/1000 gallons.
The project was modified to include addition of phosphate-
precipitating chemcials and flotation for floe removal, this treatment
combination has a higher probability of being practicle than the
originally proposed process.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Award Date: October 1, I960 Project Cost: $150,000

Summary:
This study was undertaken to determine the characteristics of municipal
applications in which diatomite filters may be used successfully, to study
the effect of various variables on filtration economy and effectiveness,
and to outline a procedure for designing a plant to operate with maximum
economy. A theory of diatomite filtration has been proposed and verified
for use in designing plants for the filtration of raw and chemically
treated water. In the current work, a computer program is being developed
that will be used for determining the characteristics of a filter to
operate at least cost. A truck mounted diatomite water treatment plant
is being operated in the field to gather design data for typical municipal
water applications: iron removal, surface water filtration, coagulated
water filtration, and filtration of lime-soda ash softened water. These
data will be fed into a computer to determine the economics of filtering such
waters with diatomite filters.
Laboratory studies are being made to determine the hydraulic character-
istics of filter cakes used in the removal of kaolin, montmorillonite, and
other clays from water. The evaluation of coagulant and polyelectrolyte
coatings for filter aids will be extended to determine the effects of pH
and other factors on their removal of biological organisms and turbidity
and on their hydraulic characteristics.

. Summary:
The experimental work will be divided Into two phases, the first being an
investigation of the effects of operating variables on filter performance and
the second being a study of the filter performance on various process streams.
During the first phase, effects of filter medium particle size, throughout,
and bed depth on solids removal and pressure drop will be studied. It is
anticipated that particle sizes to be studied will range from about 0.75mm to
about 2.0ram, throughputs from about two to about ten (higher , if feasible) GPM
per sq. ft., and bed depths around four to ten ft. These studies will all be
performed on unsettled trickling filter effluent, with routine measurements to
include suspended solids removal, TOO and COD removal, pressure drop, through-
put, particle size, bed depth, filter medium rate, and temperature. Occasional
BOD removal and filter medium recovery efficiencies will also be determined.
The second phase of experimental program will be to Investigate the flexibility
of the process in handling various plant streams. With operating variables
set in the optimal range, the performance of the filter in processing raw
sewage, primary clarlfier effluent, and settled trickling filter effluent will
be observed.

This project is a survey jOf activated sludge plants to determine (1) what
types of filamentous organisms are present when the sludge has poor
compaction characteristics, (2) the extent to which the compaction
characteristics of the sludge depends upon the presence of filamentous
organizms, and (3) environmental factors which encourage the growth of
filamentous organisms in activated sludge. The research plan consists
of collecting samples of sludge from a number of activated sludge plants;
physical, chemical, and biological analyses, of the sludge samples; and
statistical analysis of the data to find correlations between the various
parameters. Loss of sludge in the effluent due to poor compaction in
the secondary settling 'tank or for other reasons Is* the most common
operating problem with the activated sludge process and delineation of
the factors which contribute to this conditions should result in
significant improvements in process operation.

.Summary:
The efficacy of close-packed beds of a mixture of fibers of cotton and
a supporting material has been demonstrated and the results published
(Sareen, et. al., A. I. Ch. E. Journal, 12, 1045 (1966)). The effects
of Surface Active agents were shown to be unpredictable by ordinary
criteria. In the current work, it is proposed to characterize the
various types of SA agents as to solubility, hydrolysis, polarity,
ionic condition, etc., in such a way that their effect on coalescence of
oil droplets in an aqueous liquid field can be predicted. The use of an
emulsion "break-time" test seems to be the best criterior to date.
Surface phenomena are of paramount importance and the manner in which
SA agents produce such interfaciai conditions is a prime subject of this
inquiry. The relation between these factors and coalescence is a final
objective.

. Summary:
The process of gross flotation would be more widely used to the benefit
of the nation's waterways if some of the present operating difficulties
were better understood and could be removed, and if the operating
efficiency of the process could be improved. The use of chemical
coagulation in conjunction with gross flotation is an obvious means for
improvement. Some waste treatment facilities have successfully employed
this technique; other attempts have failed completely. Recycle ration
is undoubtedly a significant variable; zero recycle gives the maximum
yield of bubbles and the opportunity for nucleation on the dispersed
particles, but damages or destroys the coagulant floe by the necessity
of passing it through a pump and other constrictions. Increasing recycle
reatios can eliminate the latter problem, and may still produce an
adequate bubble yield. Nucleation, however, is an essential and little
understood aspect. The hypotheses of time lag in nucleation and of a
possible very significant distinction between nucleation in homogeneous
and heterogeneous fluid media are to be Investigated in this project.

DISSOLVED INORGANICS REMOVAL
-------
DISSOLVED INORGANICS REMOVAL
Dissolved inorganics represent a part of municipal pollution
which are not removed or reduced by conventional biological processes.
A significant rise in dissolved inorganics can be expected during
normal use of domestic water. At locations where wastewater reuse is
being contemplated, their reduction or removal is essential to
meet water quality standards.
The rising salinity of many water supplies and the increased
cost in obtaining alternate water sources of higher quality add
impetus for seeking processes that will effectively reduce the dis-
solved inorganics.
Among the processes that can be considered for reducing dissolved
inorganics, reverse osmosis comes to the forefront because of its
ability to reduce both dissolved inorganics and organics. Ion exchange,
distillation and electrodialysis are other processes that are applicable
for lowering the dissolved inorganics. However, each of these processes
yield a brine solution that may require additional processing before
disposal.

. Summary:
This project will determine the practicality of removing dissolved organics and
inorganics from selected wastewater streams using membrane ultrafiltration. In
addition to providing basic information towards selection of the most suitable
membrane frp the renovation of wastewaters, this study will provide a valuable
new analytical tool and procedure for characterizing wastewater constituents.
The objectives of the study here proposed are (1) to subject representative sewage
and wastewater streams to sequential ultrafiltration through a graded series of
membranes, and determine the fractional removal of total dissolved organic and
inorganic solutes accomplished by each member of the series (measuring concurrently
the dependence of the membrane-type), and (2) to attempt to analyze by established
chemical and instrumental techniques the components of each solute-fraction re-
tained by each membrane in the series.

Laboratory-scale investigations will be performed to enhance and extend existing
knowledge of the reverse osmosis process to determine operating parameters and
relations required for system evaluation and optimization. Laboratory-scale
studies shall be performed using several grades of municipal wastewater which
represent a broad spectrum of effluent qualities. Flat membrane test cells
will be utilized.
The laboratory-scale studies shall consist of three separate series of tests
designed to elucidate and quantify for the reverse osmosis process the general
performance, the effect of suspended solids on performance, and membrane degrad-
ation by suspect compounds. A mathematic model will be developed to express
the effect of the above variable on process performance.

. Summary:
The objective of the project was to establish, through a laboratory scale
study, the feasibility of utilizing reverse osmosis (R-0) as a means of
concentrating domestic sewage for subsequent treatment by the activated
sludge process. It is anticipated that successful completion of this
objective will make possible a substantial reduction in the size of the
equipment normally required for treatment of such flows, therefore reducing
both capital and operating costs. In addition, the R-0 process will produce
a product water stream which, following disinfection, may be returned directly
to municipal drinking water supplies.

Summary:
To investigate the metabolic activities of floe forming organisms with
regard to their ability to lower biochemical oxygen demand (BOD} and to
remove toxic metal ions from solution in relation to aerobic waste
treatment processes. This may have particular relevance to specialized
waste treatment situations such as those encountered in milk processing
wastes and metal processing wastes. It is planned to examine the
relative importance of the floe matrix (Zoogleal material), compared to
the same microbial cells not in zoological form, to the aerobic treatment
process. The influence of environmental variables in the floe forming
process is also being studied.

Summary:
The study was a fundamental investigation of the method called ion flotation
which utilizes solutions of surface active agents, or surfactants and which
has potential as an economical treatment procedure. The objectives of the
work were to make ion flotation studies on ions not previously investigated.
The studies attempt to determine what type of surfactant is most effective
and what conditions of pH, surfactant concentration, and temperature are
necessary for the method to be effective. An additional objective will be
to study the effects of addition or. surfactant on the state of solution and
availability for flotation of the metal ions-. These studies are to, be
correlated with the flotation studies as an aid to understanding the results
obtained there.

DISSOLVED BIODEGRADABLE ORGANICS REMOVAL
The areas of concern in this sub-program encompass most of the
functions of biological and biological chemical wastewater treatment
processes. Because the efficiency of biological treatment is so
intimately related to solids removal and to the return of supernatant
from sludge handling processes, this sub-program interfaces with
17030 and 17070. Removal of biodegradable organics from wastewater
treatment plant effluent is essential in reducing the burden of the
pollution load resulting from the presence of oxygen-consuming organics
in the receiving waters. Methods must be developed and demonstrated
to provide for upgrading existing plants, optimizing operations and
new more effective and economical treatment.
Independent physical-chemical treatment systems, rotating biological
contactor units, and pure oxygen as a replacement for air in secondary
treatment are examples of new techniques under advanced stages of
evaluation for possible application to the design of new plants or to
upgrading existing plants. Methods for upgrading the operation of
trickling filters or for conversion of trickling filters to activated
sludge operation are under study.

This project demonstrated the applicability of a "rotating biological
contactor", a new concept of biological treatment for treating combined
sewer overflows. The method uses power-driven rotating discs as the
"housing media" for biological growths. Previous laboratory studies
indicated detention times can be greatly shortened as compared to
conventional methods. Therefore, this "technique offers a potential
for biological treatment of flows greater than dry weather magnitudes,
an important factor in treating combined sewer overflows. Final
Report is pending.

Summary:
The total project has the objective of examining the role of floe-forming
organisms as biological agents responsible for removal of BOD and toxic
chemicals (metal ions, etc.) from water.
Bacterial flocculation is a process which is essential to successful
aerobic biological waste treatment processes. The total project has
had the objectives of examining the role of floe-forming bacteria in:
(a) the process of flocculation; (b} the means by which these orga-

. Summary:
To develop process design and operating criteria that will improve the efficiency
of solids separation and clarification during sedimentation. The research is a
logical continuation of the previous work in this area since it will develop
methods to control the process variables significant in producing high quality
activated sludge effluents. It has been postulated and preliminary work has
demonstrated that improvements in clarification can be achieved through
optimizing the turbulence transients that activated sludge experiences immediately
prior to cell separation such that the presence of highly dispersed solids in
the sludge is minimized. It is anticipated that significant process effluent
improvements can be attained through design and operation changes without the
addition of chemicals.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

. Summary:
The objective of this proposal»is to exploit the activities of attached
biological growths on closely spaced rotating disks alternately sub-
merged in sewage and exposed to air for high degree removal of organic
matter, nitrogen and phosphorus. It is proposed to utilize a series
of such units for sequential treatment and the resulant establishment
of sequential specialized populations. It is expected that neither
artificial aeration nor secondary sedimentation will be necessary by
virtue of the fact that the biological growths will not be allowed to
accumulate to great thickness and will, therefore, not slough off but
instead they will be removed at will after they have reached the
logarithmic stage of growth.
To establish the maximum efficiency, basis for design, and economy of the
biological rotating disc process for Wastewater treatment. The general
approach towards accomplishing these objectives is as follows: a) To
evaluate the effects on treatment efficiency of stressing the hydraulic
and organic loads, b) To define the relationships between the detention
period, surface area concentration and disc rotational velocity on the
ability of the pilot plant to take load without sacrificing treatment
efficiency.

. Summary:
The project objectives are to develop a high rate biological treatment
process that is, especially for the smaller communities, compatible with
modern technology. The goal will be to develop an entire waste treatment
facility that will have greater removal efficiencies of suspended solids,
BOD, and phosphates. The 120,000 GPD pilot plant at New York State
Vocational Institute in West Coxsachie, New York, will demonstrate the
greater efficiencies with greater economy of capital cost, operating cost,
and space than that of conventional methods of biological treatment.
During the 4-year program, the operational and design parameters will be
developed for an efficient, reliable treatment process. The comprehen-
sive development program will include the use of an aerated equalization
taak, aeration regime optimization for the split biological culture (high
and low biological activity), evaluation of multi-compartment horizontal
flow clarifiers, intermediate up-flow clarification techniques, aerobic
sludge digestion and chlorination of the sludge (Burifax process).

process followed by a trickling filter or by a trickling filter process
followed by activated sludge.
The activated sludge and trickling filter processes are reliable in-
dividual treatment methods. The need to control pollution' and increase
the efficiencies of existing plants requires specific design and opera-
tional data on the combined processes to enable the use of existing or
expended facilities; for economy, this will involve or necessitate the
addition of activated sludge to an existing trickling filter plant or
vice verse.

activated sludge sewage treatment system has been studied in the laboratory and
on a pilot plant scale at Tucson, Arizona.
The objective is evaluation of the potential for substitution of two-stage powdered
activated carbon treatment for secondary biological treatment of municipal waste-
water. Treatment of both primary effluent and. screened and degritted raw sewage
will be studied, with enphasis, however, on the latter because primary solids can
presumably be processed for disposal through the carbon reactivation system
which is required for economically practicable powdered carbon treatment.

To improve the biostabilization of lipids which normally accumulate in
the top layers of anaerobic digesters. This would be accomplished by
using high-shear homogenization to create a large interfacial area
between aqueous and lipid phases.
The study program is proposed in two parts. Part 1 is a laboratory
bench scale model utilizing four-liter anaerobic reactors to investiga e
the effect of homogenization. Part 1 would be summarized and completed
with a process evaluation a» a prelude to a field study. Part 2 is a

MICROORGANISMS REMOVAL

MICROORGANISMS REMOVAL
Incomplete elimination or destruction of pathogenic organisms
in sewage and industrial wastes poses a health hazard for users
of the effluent-receiving waters. Methods and technology must be
developed for safe and economic disinfection of sewage and renovated
water. The treatment of municipal wastewater for direct reuse is
inevitable; recreational use of renovated waste will increase in
areas which lack surface water. Without adequate disinfection, these
programs cannot be implemented.
Technology and methodology necessary to formulate policy regarding
disinfection techniques including virus inactivation are required. The
evaluation and demonstration of alternate disinfection processes (both
chemical and physical) will provide design information to incorporate in
existing and new wastewater treatment plants. Guidelines for National
use are required to establish a uniform method of disinfection which is
efficient and has a non-toxic effect on receiving waters. A search for
a new indicator organisms to provide a wider margin of disinfection safety
than E. coli, and better techniques for isolation of viruses in large
quantities of water are required.

Completion Date: March 21, 1972 Federal Cost: $ 87,618
Summary:
The primary objective of this project is to find a more suitable and
reliable indicator of the destruction of enteric pathogens by chlorine
and to develop a staple and rapid means, of determining the numbers of such
an indicator in chlorinated wastewater effluents. Laboratory studies
are being undertaken to isolate and identify organisms which may be
suitable for use as indicators of the efficiency, of wastewater effluent
chlorlnation. Screening by-, chlorinating activated sludge, trickling
filter, and oxidation pond effluents are being employed to provide
isolates which are chlorine resistant. Media and growth conditions are
varied so as not to eliminate from consideration organisms of high
chlorine resistance which may fall, to proliferate under commonly used
growth conditions. The chlorine resistance of successful isolates is
being studied in detail under controlled laboratory conditions both in
pure and mixed cultures and under varying concentrations and different
chemical species of chlorine. When acceptable chlorine resistance of
several organisms has been, established, these will be compared to the
resistance of selected enteric pathogens as well as coliform bacteria.
At the same time a rapid and simple means of quantitative detection of
the proposed indicator will be developed.

. Summary:
The primary objective of this project is to disinfect parallel streams of effluent
from an activated sludge and a trickling filter wastewater treatment plant with
chlorine and ozone. Part of the chlorinated effluent stream will be dechlorinated
with sulfur dioxide. The chlorinated, dechlorinated, and ozonated streams, and a
control stream of the same effluent, would be compared for their toxic effect on
several species of fish and macroinvertebrates. Disinfectant dosage will be
controlled at levels sufficient to yield effluents having a total coliform count
not to exceed 1,000 per 100 ml, but use of gross excesses of disinfectant beyond
the amount necessary to yield the desired reduction in coliform content will be
avoided. Results obtained will provide a basis for determining which system of
treatment will combine the desired level of disinfection with the lowest toxic
effect on the biological forms used in the tests. The design flow rate to be used,
at both the Wyoming and Grandville treatment plants, shall be 50,000 GPD for the
dechlorination process and 5,000 GPD for the ozonation process,

ULTIMATE DISPOSAL
The development of methods for nonpollutional disposal of sludges and
concentrated pollutants resulting from treatment processes is critical to a
successful water quality improvement program. As higher removal efficiencies
become required and new advanced waste treatment processes are applied greater
amounts of sludges and brines will be generated. Techniques must be developed
to treat these various types of sludges. Over 507> of the treatment costs at
municipal waste treatment plants are associated with sludge treatment and
disposal. Therefore, least cost treatment methods must be developed if the
overall cost of improved treatment is to be kept at reasonable and
acceptable operating costs.
x
The objectives of this research are to develop new or improved sludge
disposal technology so that both the municipal and industrial sectors will
be able to achieve compliance with present and future water quality standards.
Preliminary design manuals on sludge properties, equipment performance will be
completed. Processes for stabilization of the new types of sludges generated
in the new physical-chemical treatment processes. Develop and demonstrate
new radical pretreatment methods where conventional methods are inadequate or
expensive. Complete design guidelines for land disposal of sludges.
Demonstrate utilization of organic matter in sludge to animal feed. Develop
and demonstrate improved processes for sludge incineration, lime recovery,
brine disposal and sludge transport systems.
Processes and technology will be developed and demonstrated that have
the potential to yield the least cost treatment methods to meet water quality
standards for the disposal of sludges from treatment plants. This phase of
development and evaluation is necessary before the process is ready for full
scale demonstration.
Through an in-house and extramural grants and contract program, new
processes and technologies will be developed to accomplish the above stated
objectives. State of the art papers will be prepared where necessary. From
this, research and development areas are defined, also research needs are
continually sought from the Regions and States that also define problems
to be solved. Implementation of R&D is carried out by a well developed
research work plan with decision points that dictate program direction.
Evaluation from bench scale, pilot plant and large scale demonstration
determines its applicability to solving the specified problem.

Summary:
The fundamental mechanisms which control the settling behavior of concentrated
sludges are being evaluated. Theories of flow through porous media have been
used to analyze observed settling behavior of flocculent sludges. The technique
has permitted study of the changes in floe diameter and water content which occur
as thickening takes place. In other studies, a coaxial cylinder viscometer has
been used to study the rheology of biological sludges and to observe the changes
in the physical characteristics of biological sludges effected by changes in
environmental conditions such as organic loading intensity. Finally, the
thickening characteristics of biological sludges in full scale settling tanks
is being studied to permit comparison with observed laboratory results and to
permit development of rational criteria for design of sludge thickeners.

To develop a bacteriological count method whereby the numbers of bacteria in
the total biomass of digesting sludge can be related to the efficiency of the
degestion process. The practical utility of such a method is to provide a
means for determining the onset of any undesirable shift in the population
of anaerobic bacteria, particularly the methane producing bacteria, that can
serve as a warning of impending problems in a digester.

WASTEWATER RENOVATION AND REUSE
As available water supplies dwindle and water quality standards
become more stringent, reuse of municipal wastewater for diverse
purposes becomes more compelling. Sale of the reused water may offset
some of the treatment costs and total reuse will allow no discharge
of effluents into surrounding waters.
The objectives of this research program are to develop process
systems for the effective and economical treatment of municipal wastes
for total reuse. Specific objectives will include:
(1) Prepare state-of-the-art survey of all types of municipal
wastewater reuse.
(2) Develop technology for water reuse for irrigation purposes.
(3) Develop technology for water reuse for industrial purposes.
(4) Develop technology for water reuse for non-potable domestic uses,
(5) Develop technology for water reuse for potable purposes.
Through an in-house and extramural grants and contract program,
new processes and technologies will be developed to accomplish the
above stated objectives. State-of-the-art papers will be prepared
where necessary. Research and development areas are defined.
Implementation of R&D is carried out according to a well developed
work plan with decision points that dictate program direction.
Evaluation of bench scale, pilot plant and large scale demonstration
projects determines its technical and economic applicability to
solving the specified problem.

This project will investigate various chemical processes for the renovation
of domestic waste waters to a level of quality meeting potable water
requirements. The processes to be studied include coagulation-flocculation
with alum and polyelectrolytes, precipitation with lime, sorption by weak
base synthetic resins and activated carbon, and high-rate dual media
filtration. Special attention will be given to optimization of the
coagulation-flocculation process by dispersion mixing and controlled mixing
energies and to the improvement of the operating cycle of selected sorptive
resins. Very short duration aeration with solids recycle will be studied
as a means of removing low molecular weight organics while sorption on
aluminum and calcium precipitates and resins will be investigated for removing
the high molecular weight, colloidal, and particulate organics. Attention
will also be given to the chemical nature and biological significance of the
residual organics from the various process stages.

Summary:
The objective of this project is to remove suspended solids and decreased coliform
content in sewage treatment plant effluent by intermittent operation of percolation
basins. These percolation basins overlie a high ground water area which may
contain some expanding soil particles.
It is planned to rapidly flood four % acre basins to 0.5* once daily to demonstrate
the practicability of effluent percolation. If it proves to be practicable, they
will increase the ponding depth to demonstrate the resulting variations in the
quality of operation and the percolation rate. After ascertaining the best results,
the number of basins will be tripled.

treating sewage effluents to potable water standards for reuse in potentially
watershort areas. It includes an analysis of jointly siting power generating
facilities and waste water renovation facilities so that the thermal source can
assist in the waste water treatment and water purification process as well as in
production of electric power. The project is designed to lead to the actual '
demonstration and implementation of reuse systems in an actual urban environment
and could be a significant step leading to the conservation of our resources and

Completion Date: January 1, 1973 Federal Cost: $95,000
Summary:
In the near future, the water demands of Long Island may cause serious ground
water depletion. Aspects of this problem are already apparent in isolated
instances. One direct solution to the problem would be the recharging of
ground water with renovated, highly purified waste waters.
To determine the technical feasibility and economic practicality of an integrated
recharge system, large-scale study and operational data are required. Such
studies can be conducted utilizing the facilities available at the new Wantagh
Water Pollution Control Plant.
Such studies would require the objectives of the program to be clearly defined,
the practicality of using the plant demonstrated, and the costs of the study
defined. Resultant from these studies will be an advanced treatment scheme
and compatible recharge method amenable to a future demonstration project
whose magnitude and duration would be as found necessary. This project
will explore the feasibility of conducting these future studies at the newly
constructed Wantagh treatment plant. The programs and cost necessary
for completing the future project will be identified.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPTIMIZATION

WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPTIMIZATION
Computer simulation of various processes has been shown to be a
powerful tool in improving the design and operational effectiveness of
plants in the chemical process industries. The techniques developed
are readily amenable for use in simulation of waste water treatment
facilities. Development of computer programs to simulate these
facilities will result both in improved operation of present plants
and design of future systems.
Federal, state and local regulatory agencies currently do not have
the necessary resources to evaluate the day-to-day performance of
waste water treatment plants. The data on current plant operations
would lend itself to computerized evaluation techniques if suitable
programs could be developed. Moreover, the improvement in design of
future plants and the concept of computerized plant design itself will
depend on a better understanding of the operating criteria which will
result from these computerized analyses.
Finally, this project will have to sustain the necessary Research
and Development to provide systems for computerized design of plants,
Research Analysis, Evaluation of Operation, Maintenance and design
alternatives and finally, Systems Optimization. A rapid acceleration
of the present level of effort is mandatory if these basic tools are
going to be made available to both research and management personnel.
The objective of this program is to develop complete and
authoritive relationships in the form of equation, charts, and computer
systems to facilitate design simulation and evaluation of individual
treatment processes and systems of processes.

The second objective (corresponding to Phase II) will be to study the
time dependent or transient behavior of the plant by varying the influent
stream in some predetermined way as a function of time and then making
measurements of flow and concentration at various stations as a function
of time (at one hour intervals). The purpose of Phase II will be to
generate the necessary data to develop a dynamic or time dependent
mathematical model for the activated sludge process.
The model will then be used to select the most practical method for con-
trolling the plant to achieve Improved plant performance and a more
uniform water quality at the effluent weirs of the final settler.

Instrumentation and automation of wastewater systems and treatment
plants for process control is a relatively new concept. Many instruments
for water analyses are on the market, but they have not been adequately
evaluated or tested in wastewater treatment facilities. No automated
wastewater systems or plants have been built and evaluated.
This research entails: (1) determination of key variables for
monitoring and control of sewerage systems and treatment plants.
(2) Evaluation of instruments, control devices and control strategies
by mathematical modeling, laboratory work or field study. (3) Determination
and demonstration of optimum control strategies through the use of
cost-effectiveness, performance and/or reliability.
Progress to date has been (1) completion of in-house analysis of
process variables, cost-effectiveness of controlling selected variables
and a partial assessment of available instrumentation to define program
priorities for laboratory and field testing. (2) Completion of
evaluation of an auto analyzer for measuring phosphorus and in feedback
control for phosphorus removal.
