are thus closed loop, continuous, circular. In wastewater treatment industrial ecology would
mean that all so called "waste" is re-input into the same or other process. For example,
biosolids as fertilizer can be considered a use of sludge consistent with industrial ecology.
Recycling wastewater into the treatment plant, manufacturing or other process is another
example.

Liquid Solids Separation
The process of separating the liquids and solids in a given wastewater. Liquid/solids
separation comes in one of 3 processes:
1. If the solids sink (specific gravity greater than 1) use a clarifier
2. If the solids float (specific gravity less than 1) use a floatation unit (DAF)
3. If neither sink or float (specific gravity is 1) try using a screen (rotary or parabolic)

Storm Water Run-Off (SRO)

The pulse of surface water following a rainstorm. The water carries sediment, gas, oil, animal
feces, glass and other waste from the watershed to receiving waters creating a difficult
urban/suburban wastewater problem.
Storm Drain

does not feed into sewer system.
Subsurface Flow Wetland (SF)
A type of constructed wetland in which primarily treated waste flows through deep gravel or
other porous substrate planted with wetland vegetation. The water is not exposed to the air,
avoiding problems with odor and direct contact.
Suspended solids
the small solid particles in water that cause turbidity. Particles of suspended sediment tend
to settle at the channel bottom, but upward currents in turbulent flow counteract gravitational
settling.
TDS - Total Dissolved Solids
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a the combined total of all dissolved solids in wastewater,
both organic and inorganic and very fine, such as colloidal minerals. Generally particles must
be smaller than two micrometers to be considered a dissolved solid. For example, salt
dissolved in water is a dissolved solid. Therefore TDS will "survive" screening or other
coarse filtration.

those pollutants or combinations of pollutants, including disease-causing agents, which after
discharge and upon exposure, ingestion, inhalation or assimilation into any organism can, on
the basis of information available, cause death, disease, behavioral abnormalities, cancer,
genetic mutations, physiological malfunctions or physical deformation in such organism or
their offspring. The quantities and exposures necessary to cause these effects can vary
widely.
Treatability
How treatable a water sample is with a given substance. The "treatability" of Floccin is
very high with a wide array of wastewater types. The more treatable wastewater is, the
better, obviously. All wastewater is treatable, how easy it is varies. The treatability can be
tested using samples in a "jar test". A small water sample is taken and placed in a jar. Then
the flocculant or other treatment additive mixed in and the results observed. Treatability tests
are an important part of wastewater optimization.
Total Coliforms
include bacteria that are found in the soil, in water that has been influenced by surface water,
and in human or animal waste.
TSS - Total Suspended Solids
As the name implies, the total solid particles that are suspended (as opposed to dissolved) in
the wastewater. TSS must be filtered out, flocculated, digested and so on for removal in the
treatment of wastewater. Though not necessarily pollutants TSS is considered to be a
measure of pollutants in water by the EPA in the US.
Turbid

Once the network set in position, it is a prime necessity to achieve the following operations
before starting the diffusion:
- Check the tightening of all bolts and nuts
- Check the tightening and state of all the diffusers
- Fill up the basin 92SEO004 BA with water, about 10 cm over the diffusers surface is sufficient
- Open the drain valve 027VE and open the air feeding valve 050VE
- Open totally the isolation valve 055VE and check that the valve 053VE is opened and the
blower 92SEO002ZV is stopped.
- Start the blower 92SEO001ZV and close gradually the isolation valve 055VE to increase the
flowrate at 10% of nominal flow.
- Check that all the diffusers are diffusing air
- Verify or replace the diffusers that would not work properly
- Open the drain valve 027VE only a few seconds to evacuate the condensate and close.
- Fill up the basin 92SEO004 BA
- Set the blower the 92SEO001ZV at the nominal flow with the valve 056VE and close totally
the isolation valve 055VE.
If the starting up is not made immediately after the installation, you should keep about 10 cm of
water above the diffusers.
Maintenance:
The diffuser is made of synthetic material (PP), and gives an excellent resistance to a large range of
chemicals. A regular spreading of the bubbles at the surface of the basin shows a normal operation
of the framework.
A little raise of the headloss of the diffuser is normal when time passes by. It does not affect the
oxygenation efficiency. If sludge penetrates the framework, the inside should be properly rinsed.
The membranes should be protected from petroleum products such as mineral oils and aromatic
hydrocarbons, which could degrade the membranes.

Once the network set in position, it is a prime necessity to achieve the following operations
before starting the diffusion:
- Check the tightening of all bolts and nuts
- Check the tightening and state of all the diffusers
- Fill up the basin 92SEO004 BA with water, about 10 cm over the diffusers surface is sufficient
- Open the drain valve 027VE and open the air feeding valve 050VE
- Open totally the isolation valve 055VE and check that the valve 053VE is opened and the
blower 92SEO002ZV is stopped.
- Start the blower 92SEO001ZV and close gradually the isolation valve 055VE to increase the
flowrate at 10% of nominal flow.
- Check that all the diffusers are diffusing air
- Verify or replace the diffusers that would not work properly
- Open the drain valve 027VE only a few seconds to evacuate the condensate and close.
- Fill up the basin 92SEO004 BA
- Set the blower the 92SEO001ZV at the nominal flow with the valve 056VE and close totally
the isolation valve 055VE.
water above the diffusers.
Maintenance:
The diffuser is made of synthetic material (PP), and gives an excellent resistance to a large range of
chemicals. A regular spreading of the bubbles at the surface of the basin shows a normal operation
of the framework.
A little raise of the headloss of the diffuser is normal when time passes by. It does not affect the
oxygenation efficiency. If sludge penetrates the framework, the inside should be properly rinsed.
The membranes should be protected from petroleum products such as mineral oils and aromatic
hydrocarbons, which could degrade the membranes.
