    Trickling Filter

    Require hydraulic system to distribute the liquid sewageover the media.

    Traditionally, fixed system:

    - Problem with dead zones / no wetting Rotating system, flow uniformly distributed.

    Thick biomass falls off for collection in settlement tank

    Traditional media - stones 50mm diameter.

    Traditional Configuration Filter media - rocks/stone 50 mm diameter; 1.8 m deep

    Rotary distribution - where liquid sewage trickles from on

    top of circular tank Perforated floor - to let air/liquid/biomass pass through

    Underdrain system - to collect liquid/biomass to the

    settlement tank Dosing chamber to maintain supply of sewage to f low

    continuously to filter media.

    Media tank followed by humus or settlement tank- effluentdischarged & settled sludge to treatment

    Achieve BOD reduction

    - generally nitrification in high temperature.

    Mechanism

    Biomass aerobic at outer surface, anaerobic at media/solidinterface - oxygen consumed up before it reach inside.

    Biomass contains fungi and bacteria

    - responsible for organic degradation

    Protozoa and rotifier in more aerobic areas.- Consume lower animals

    - Control the bacteria population

    Algae near the top media if sunlight- provides oxygen & can clog the media

    Higher animals - worms, larvae in aerobic/surface layers- consume organic/biomass.

    Filter flys

    More treatment at top, cleaner effluent at base.

    Process Model

    Define biomass and loading as similar to activated sludgeMore difficult than activated sludge because:

    - culture is not homogeneous, varies vertically within filterand within biomass

    - flow patterns through filter not easily predicted

    - difficult to characterize biomass/media

    Design Formula

    Many available

    Often based on upon observation of performance

    Many observations do not or could count of variations such

    as clarifier performance, media variability, wetting, etc

    Many are probably site specific and almost all are colder

    climate data

    NRC or Galler and Gotaas commonly used for rock filters

    Germain for plastic media

    Other Considerations

    More flow, better distribution through media and probably better

    oxygen transfer

    - contrary to previous model

    - media uniformly wetted

    - induce more air circulation from hydraulic turbulence

    Increase flow by re-circulation

    - improve flow despite putting more dilute wastewater over filter

    If reduce diameter below 50 mm, biomass growth tends to clog

    media

    - prevent liquid f low

    - disrupt air f low

    - cause anaerobic pocket in filter, odorous

    Variations Re-circulate effluent

    - effluent from the humus tank is recycle to the dosing tank

    - mixture will be diluted in BOD

    Re-circulate around the filter

    Alternating double filtration

    - two filters, two settlement tanks

    - flow through filter, tank,filter,tank

    - alternate flow to filters

    - requires pumping

    RECIRCULATION

    Generally improves performance

    Improves distribution, wetting., reduce filter flys,

    maintain thin film

    Can recycle through primary tank Recirculation ratio 0.5 to 4.0

    Particularly important to recirculate during lowflow, e.g. at night

    IMPROVEMENT Hydbrid system

    -combine fixed film and activated sludge system

    Separate reaction tanks-e.g. Activated bio-filtration

    -trickling filter / solid contact

    Media in tank

    -several proprietary systems which have support

    systems hung in the tank or floating in the tank

    Recirculation control type of sludge sloughed off

    -different from activated sludge, not form flocs-difficult to settle

    -recirculate to get better sludge (thin)

    Media configured to optimize aeration

    PRACTICAL DESIGN

    Usually relies upon empirical loading factors

    Inter-related loading

    - organic load kg BOD/m3d

    - hydraulic load m3/m2d

    Related to specific surface area for particular media

    Organic loading between 0.05 and 2 kg BOD/m3d from

    conventional to high rate plastic media

    High BOD Nitrification

    Rock filled filter get complete nitrification if BOD 5 mg/L limited by transfer of

    oxygen across liquid film

    At low ammonia load, removal decreases for low ammonia

    Settled sewage in trough

    - effluent from primary settlement

    40% of disc submerged in trough

    - drive above liquid

    Rotate disc through air for oxygenation Biofilm develops - aerobic at surface, anaerobic at

    disc/solid interface

    Thicker film falls off Design based upon loading to remove BOD or ammonia

    and not deplete oxygen (loading exceeds the oxygenation

    rate)

    PROCESSSTART- UP

    At least 4 weeks for first time - difficult to get biomass tosticks to the moving media

    Provide some remaining biomass for subsequentstart-up - quicker growth

    - 60% biomass in discs dies and dries out

    - affect balance

    DESIGN

    Mainly empirical as per previous course

    - several design curves available

    Loading usually related to available surface area - specific surface

    area Oxygen limitation in biomass considered to limit organic loading to

    any bank of discs

    Overall loading on first stage

    BOD loading < 30g/m2d

    Soluble BOD loading < 12 g/m2..d

    First stage BOD reduced 40-50%

    - organic loading controls Subsequent stages depend on hydraulic loading

    Rotate about I rpm -peripheral vel < 0.3 m/s

    - relate to oxygenation rate

    DESIGN

    Temperature critical at lower temperatures

    For nitrification need soluble BOI) less than 15mg/L.

    - then organic loading 1.4 to 1.59/m2d

    Maximum nitrif. rate 1.59N/m2d

    At ammonia conc. < 5mg/L rate decreases with conc.

    Can design purely for nitrification and use submerged

    discs for de-nitrification

    - fully submerged, no oxygenation

    - de-nitrification if sufficient carbon source

    DESIGN High density polyethylene (HDPE) widely used

    Incorporate carbon block as a UV inhibitor

    Media corrugations - better stiffness, increased surfacearea, more uniform wetting

    Low density in first stages (9300ml on 3.7m diameter discs

    and 8.2m shaft) Medium to high density on nitrification shafts (11000 to

    1700OM2 on 3.7m diameter discs and 8.2m shaft)

    Drive mechanically or with diffused air Motor rated 3.5 - 6kW/shaft

    Air drives more sensitive to unbalanced media
