Tenderers will also be required to offer a fully underground depressed STP and indicative layouts are also provided for such a configuration. During the tender evaluation process, Nakheel will decide whether to opt for a fully underground or an at rade plant. 3.2 Flows and Loads Sewage flows from the identified developments of the DMCC service area will be about 40,000 m3/d when fully developed, and at 100% occupancy. This flow is the ADF for design purposes, Some parts of the developments will be occupied by end of 2005. the build up of flows to complete occupation is assumed to take up to 3 years. The STP facility shall be flexible and capable of treating as low as 5,000 m3/d and allowance shail be made to commission in incremental steps as the flows o sewage build up. Civil and piping works with major electrical supplies shall be provided for the ultimate capacity of the plant and provision for $0% future expansion. The mechanical units and associated piping and individual electrical equipment panels can be installed to suit the flow build-up. Provision must be made to expand the plant capacity by up to 50%, if required, which means an STP capacity of 60,000 m3/d ADF including the following minimum allocations: F- Space for additional pumps within the influent pumping station including MCC r- Sizing of all pipelines and hydraulic structures for the higher flow 1° Space for additional influent screens and grit removal process facilities r Equalisation basin sizing and associated Top Water Level (TWL) © Space for additional anoxic/aeration trains 1 Space within the membrane tanks for additional membranes or provision for further membrane tanks. r Space and connection for additional blowers, ducts, wiring and MCC units + Space for sludge storage, retention and mechanical thickening/dewatering. In the design of the STP, several other flow scenarios shall be considered: peak hour flow (PHF) and peak day flow (PDF). Goon o) ed 40x 4D wy \Lese 4c x Lon Other factors important in overall design of the DMCC STP include average annual and Maximum Month Loading (MML) used for sizing the secondary treatment system and the effluent quality required for reuse. The average annual influent constituent loading Values are typically for local conditions. The total loading during MML represents an ‘extended period of high flow and loading and is used to determine the size of aeration basins and air systems so that full treatment can be provided consistently. Typically the MML values are 1.2 times the average annual values. Desired effluent quality is similar to that of DM and PCFC standards for which compliance is required, Table 3.1 provides the flows and load to DMCC STP and effluent quality parameters, Table 3-1 - Influent Flows and Load and Effluent Quality Influent Flow — Design Capacity Basis Average (Annual) Daily Flow (ADE), m3/d 40,000 Peak Day Flow (1.4 x Average), (PDF) m3/d 56,000 Peak Month Flow (1.2 x Average), (PMF) m3/d 48,000 Peak (2-Hour) Hourly Flow, (PHF) l/s 926 Influent (Average Annual) Load Factor BOD, mg/l 250 COD, mg/l 600 TSS, mg/l 250 ‘TKN, mg/l 40 Influent (Maximum Month) Load Factor BOD, mg/l 300 COD, mg/l 720 TSS, mg/l 300 TKN, mg/l 48 3.3 Influent Pumping The influent pump station will receive the flow from the service area to the STP. The station shall be configured with submersible pumps with a separate valve chamber. Total 5 pumps shall be installed with 4 pumps required to convey the PHF. Grinders (Macerators) and coarse protection shall be provided upstream prior to the pumps and the units shall be non-clogging in design. Grinders (Macerators) will be required for chopping and shredding rags, wood, plastic, bones, and all other debris commonly found in domestic sewage to reduce them to 20mm size. Variable Speed Drives (VSD) are required to allow the output ftom the station to match more closely the ineoming flow rate, Table 3.2 gives design parameters for the pumping facilities. ‘Table 3.2 —_Design Considerations - Influent Pumping Station ‘Type: Submersible, non-clog centrifugal Number of Units (including spare unit) 5 Capacity — each lis 233 Station Firm Capacity (one pump out of service), V/s 932.2 Controls: Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) 3.4 Screening and Grit Removal Fine screening and grit removal is important to extend the life of the membranes. A. higher level of pre-treatment than commonly practised in sewage treatment prevents clogging of the space between membrane fibres or plates and abrasion damage to the membrane surface. Coarse Screening For long term operation of the membranes very fine (see below) screening is required. Coarse screening is required to remove large material prior to grit removal and potential discharge to the equalisation basin, and to limit the accumulation of large material on the fine screens. Coarse (6 mm) screening will be provided as the influent sewage enters the headworks facilities. Two rotary drum screens (duty/standby) shall be installed each capable of handling the design peak hourly flow to the facility. The soreens shall be equipped with a washing, dewatering system to reduce the quantity of offensive, odorous material discharged to the skip for disposal. Skips shall be covered prior to removal from site, Grit Chamber The abrasive effect of grit (sand) particles can damage the membrane material and shorten the life of the membranes. A manufactured grit removal system will effectively remove grit. The system consists of a vortex grit tank, airlift pump to remove the accumulated grit from the tank or duty/standby degritting pumps, a cyclone/classifier to wash and dewater, and a ba removed for disposal. Equalisation of the flow will occur after coarse screens and grit removal and prior to ‘the fine screens. This will reduce the capacity of fine screening required to the PDF rate (56,000 m3/d). Fine Screening ‘The recommendation of most membrane manufacturers is to use the finest screen practicable. Suggestions for screen openings of 3 mm in size are common among the manufacturers of membrane systems. ‘The membrane manufacturers recommend screens to be of a two-directional design rather than rectangular slots. These screens collect more of the hair and stringy fibres, which pass the screens but then form larger material in the aeration basins that can clog the area between the membrane plates and fibres. Perforated plates as proposed by some MBR suppliers are acceptable as an alternative to screens. With the need for good screening for the long-term health of the membranes, the standby screening unit shall be an additional mechanical screen as described above. The installation of a manual bar sereen will not be permitted. ‘These screenings shall be washed, dewatered and compacted, to reduce the quantity offensive, odorous material discharged to a skip to await removal. To further reduce odours from the skip, screening from the discharge chute will be discharged into airtight containers, Table 3.3 gives general design considerations for the screening and grit removal facilities. ing device to contain odours from the grit until it can be ‘Table 3.3 — Design Considerations ~ Screening and Grit Facilities Grinding at Influent Pumping Station ‘Number of Units (Macerator) including stand by 2 ‘Type: Submersible channel mounted explosion proof Capacity each (Us) 648 Coarse Screening Number of Units 2 Type: Rotary Drum, continuous band (escalator or band) Screening handling: washing, dewatering, compacting, bagging Effective opening Size, mm 6 Capacity ~ each, Vs 38.6 Grit Removal Number of Units 1 ‘Type: Vortex with bypass channel Grit Handling: Ailift pump, washing, classifying, bagging Diameter, m 5.5 Capacity ~ Us 926 Grit Pumping Number 1 ‘Type: Airlift Capacity, Us 15.8 Fine Screeni Number of Units 2 ‘Type: Rotary Drum, Inclined Screw, Punched plate screen Screening Handling: Washing, dewatering, compacting, bagging Effective Opening Size, mm 1 Capacity ~ each, I/s 648 3.5 Equalisation Basins and Return Pumping Equalisation is one of the key elements to the success of the STP. It must provide adequate capacity to accommodate peak flows (due to diumal flow variations on the PDF and any peak flows created by pump stations and potential infiltration and inflow). Because of the limited capacity of the membranes to process flows greater than ADF, the effective volume allocated to equalisation must fully dampen the influent flow to produce a flow to the downstream treatment processes equal to the ADE. Typically, the volume needed to equalise the influent flow to a STP is 1.2 x ADF = PMF. ‘The equalisation basin shall be located downstream of the coarse screening and grit removal facilities, prior to the fine screening. The basin requires frequent cleaning to control the accumulation of odorous material. Removal of much of this material prior to the basins will result in less frequent need to clean the basins and be less offensive ‘when cleaning is undertaken. Two basins shall be constructed to allow the basins to be individually removed from service for cleaning and maintenance without taking the complete equalisation process out of service. A gate or weir prior to the fine screening facilities shall limit the flow to the screens. Excess flow shall overflow side weirs along the channels into a distribution box to the basins. Gates on the feed to the basins shall allow isolation of each basin for cleaning and maintenance. Due to the wide operating depths of the equalisation basins, a dedicated mixing system, shall be installed in each basin to mix and aerate the sewage to prevent septicity. Submersible pumps with aspirating jets is the preferred method to provide mixing and aeration down to a minimum liquid level. Pumping facilities located in cach basin shall return flow back to the fine screens. Two submersible pumps shall be located within each basin. The return pump flow rate shall be based on the influent flow rate, as the sum of the return flow rate + influent flow will need to be < 56,000m3/d. The control shall rely on flow measurement from the influent Pump station to set the flow rate of the return pumps. Table 3.4 provides general design considerations for the equalisation basins. Mixer pumps shall be provided with spare parts to facilitate rapid repair of units. The mi and return pumps shall be installed on rail systems to facilitate removal without, entering the equalisation basins.

The stripping of the oxygen from the nitrate compound results in the release of nitrogen gas molecules and its removal from the waste stream, The anoxic basins also perform the task of providing some foam control by inhibiting the growth of filamentous bacteria, To be successful in removing nitrogen to low levels required by the effluent standards, and to control foam, the anoxic basins must have an oxygen deficient ‘atmosphere. Current design practices have two sludge recirculation systems so that the return sludge to the anoxic basins is obtained from the aeration basins where the dissolved oxygen content is much lower than from the membrane basins. Table 3.5 gives the design characteristics for the anoxic basins. The design shall provide for multiple point addition of alum or metal salt for chemical precipitation of phosphorous. Bafling of the anoxic basins shall be installed to create multiple zones to be operated in series. Submersible mixers provide agitation to keep the contents of the basins in suspension, Spare parts located at the STP for the mixers will facilitate rapid repair of the unit ‘Table 3.5 — Design Considerations - Anoxic Basins Number of Basins 4 Length, m 10.5 Width, m 7.2 Sidewater Depth, m 5 Number of Zones per Basin 3 Volume ~ total per basin, m3 375 Detention Time @ Qave h 1 Mixing: submersible, mechanical mixers, rail mounted Number per basin 3 Motor Size - minimum, kw 3 3.6.2 Aeration Basins A design sludge age of 14 days will provide the flexibility needed to accommodate removing basins from service and PDF conditions, by allowing the sludge age to be lowered while still maintaining a highly stabilized sludge for removal from the STP. ‘The aeration system shall be installed to provide full-floor coverage in a tapered pattern. This will provide greater air (oxygen) at the start of the basins to match the ‘oxygen demand of the mixed liquor as it exits the anoxic zone. The later portion of the basins shall have a lower concentration of aeration devices providing air to assure mixing while being adequate to provide nitrification. A minimum of 4 separate ‘grids shall be provided per basin to allow adjustment of the air flow to the grid based on the air demand in that portion of the basin. Table 3.6 provides the design characteristics for the aeration basins. By configuring the basins in a long, narrow arrangement, a plug flow scheme can be created, optimizing the performance of the basins for nitrification.

It also provides flexibility to hold solids in the aeration system without significantly increasing the solids inventory and inhibiting the transfer of oxygen to the biomass. The aeration system, consists of the blowers, air piping and diffuser grid must be sized to provide sufficient air for acrobic treatment of the influent sewage under PDF conditions as well as when one treatment train is out of service. The design must take into account operation during the summer (sewage temperature = 350C) as well as during colder conditions (sewage temperature = 220C). The design of aeration systems commonly is based on maximum month loading conditions, with all basins in service. Sizing the aeration system based on ADF conditions, with one basin out of service, will result in the system being adequately sized for maximum month conditions. Table 3.7 provides the design characteristics for the aeration system. The blowers shall be of the multi-stage centrifugal type to control vibration and noise. Fine bubble diffusers of the membrane (EPDM) type configured in a full floor grid pattern shail be installed. Separation of the grid pattern into several diffuser grids with isolation valves cn the drop lines allows the air to be more efficiently applied where it is needed for treatment, Ten-percent spare diffusers (including membrane disks and holder components) shall be provided for quick replacement.

Adequate consideration in the sizing of the facilities will provide the flexibility needed to accommodate a wide range of conditions, including PDF, and space for future expansion of the facility. Operation of the membrane system includes periods when filtration is not occurring During a normal operating cycle, the system will filter for several minutes followed bya Period when filtration is halted and the membranes are allowed to relax. Thus the membranes filter only about 90% of the time. Another consideration is that during PDF conditions, the membranes shall accommodate the higher PDF. Finally, over time there is a potential that some irreversible clogging will occur that cannot be cleaned out Without extensive, long-term operating experience with the membranes, a factor of S$ to 15% reduction in capacity is applied. ‘The Tenderer shall offer justification as to whether flow through the membranes can be accomplished by gravity or with the use of permeate (vacuum) pumps. Modulating valves shall be required on each permeate gravity line to control the flow rate through the membranes to maintain a constant water surface in the aeration and membrane basins. As permeate is drawn through the membranes, the clear water is separated from the sludge resulting in the remaining sludge becoming more concentrated. To limit the concentration of the sludge to no greater than 15,000 mg/l sludge must be transferred from the membrane basins back to the aeration basins, The discharge of the sludge transfer system will be at the discharge from the anoxic basins to mix the highly oxygenated membrane sludge with the oxygen deficient sludge from the anoxic basins, ‘The sludge transfer rate is estimated to be as much as 4-6 times the ADF rate to the plant. 3.8 Disinfection ‘The membranes are excellent in removing pathogens from the wastewater, but a residual clorination system is required for two functions. As a backup disinfection method in the event of breakthrough. This is also known as a multiple-barrier disinfection system. To create a chlorine residual in the reuse water distribution system to inhibit bacterial growth in the system, ‘The permeate discharge from the membranes will be chlorinated prior to discharge to the downstream irrigation storage tank, The tank shall function as a chlorine contact basin with suitable baffling to provide contact time for backup disinfection and to Provide a chlorine residual for the distribution system.. Sodium hypochlorite shall be used as the chlorine source for several other uses in the plant - odour control, foam control and membrane cleaning. It will be delivered in concentrated form (12 to 14%) and require dilution before use. Table 2-9 provides design criteria for the disinfection system. Table 3.9 — Design Considerations - Disinfection System Disinfection Peak Chlorine Dose, mg/l 4 ‘Chemical Demand — maximum month, ke/d 192 ditto Vd 1,695 Expected Chlorine Residual mg/l 0.5 to 1.0 Chemical Storage Chemical: Sodium Hypochlorite Concentration ~ Delivered, % 12 to 14 = Solution, mg/l 3,500 Maximum Storage Time, days 21 Storage Volume ~ Total, m3 35.6 Number of Tanks 2 Volume —each, m3 18 ‘Tank Material: high density linear polyethylene Disinfection Feed Pumps Number of Pumps (including standby unit) 3 Capacity - each (maximum), /h 70 Controls: Flow paced from permeate meters Additional pumps shall be installed to feed hypochlorite to other uses such as for odour control and cleaning of the membranes. 3.9 Sludge Handling To control foam, sludge will be wasted from the plant from the surface of the membrane feed channel. Up to 880 m3/d of waste sludge will be produced daily and must be removed from the DMCC STP. About 44 tanker trucks will be required to haul the liquid sludge from the site. Because of the need to allow for future operations Tenderers will be required to price for alternative sludge management options including tankering liquid sludge, thickening and tankering a thickened sludge and digestion, thickening and tankering of a stable dewatered sludge., ‘Thickening of the sludge to a higher concentration reduces the truck traffic, but adds a treatment process. Thickening the 1.1%TS waste sludge to about 4%TS will reduce the truck traffic to about 12 trucks per day. A short-term storage tank with a minimum of S days storage shalll provide flexibility in the hauling schedule to avoid the truck traffic during the weekends and allowing for some down time in the hauling operation. Several types of equipment are available to accomplish the thickening task. These include gravity belt thickeners, dissolved air flotation, centrifuges and rotary drum thickeners. Each has the ability to produce a thickened sludge of 4 to 59%TS. Gravity belt thickeners are the least complicated of the processes and have extensive operating experience, Progressive cavity pumps are used to feed sludge to the thickeners, Thickened sludge shall be discharged by gravity to the sludge holding tank. Sludge shall be withdrawn from the sludge holding tank and transferred to the hauling vehicles by pumps located in the holding tank. ‘Two units, each with a throughput capacity of 28 L/see will allow the thickening process to be completed in less than 8 hours per day, 5 days per week.
