3.3.3 Air Extraction Duct

The air extraction duct is a series of duct work that facilitates transfer of odorous air from the new concrete
inlet chamber to the ATF. The main header duct is sized at 2000mm internal diameter with inlet and outlet
branches to and from the BTFs sized at 1000mm internal diameter.

There is a bypass duct for the BTF's sized at 2000mm which can be isolated using an ACMA rated sealing
damper.

There is also a bypass duct for the ACF sized t 1600 in which can be isolated using an ACMA rated sealing
damper.

3.3.3.1. BTF Inlet, BTF Outlet and ATF Outlet HzS Transmitters

The hydrogen sulphide transmitters will be located at the BTF inlet, BTF outlet and ATF outlet. These
instruments indicate the hydrogen sulphide concentration at the inlet of the single pass BTF's, after the Single
Pass BTF's and before treated air exits the vent stack.

3.3.4 Single Pass OdourTeQ' BTF

<. Hd. ,\~-I +. I sta^:IF. ..,
The first stage of biological treatment is the five (5) single pass OdourTeQ' BTF's. Each single pass BTF is
capable of treating 2 0 in'/h offoulair.

The principle operation of the Single Pass OdourTeQ' BTF is based on the absorption and oxidation of the
soluble and polar odorous compounds in an active biological layer. Two types of biological layers are grown on
the inorganic support media, a pH neutral layer on or near the top of the packed bed and an acidic pH layer at
or near the bottom of the packed bed. Both packed bed layers are kept moist by a once-through spraying
system with a nutrient such solution sprayed overthe packed bed intermittently.

3.3.4.1. Nutrient Spray System

The intermittent nutrient/irrigation water spray system wets the inorganic media in the Single Pass BTF to
promote biological activity. Two nutrient dosing pumps are used to dose a nutrient solution to the potable
water or service water delivery pipework that feeds the Single Pass BTF spray systems.

S re Nozzles

The Single Pass OdourTeQ'" BTF spray system uses nori-clogging sprays to ensure complete coverage of the
inorganic packing. The spray systems are specifically designed to allow access without entry to each of the two
(2) Single Pass BTFs.

Irri ation Water Solenoid Valve

Flow through to the spray system from the potable water or service water pipework is controlled by an
irrigation water solenoid valve. The solenoid is energised/open intermittently to ensure the biological layer
growing on the Single Pass BTF packing is kept moist and has a sufficient supply of nutrient.

Flow Meter
,^^*.^66
A flow meter in the potable & service water feed pipework monitors the average flow rate of the nutrient
water mixture. The flow meter is an essential element in the delivery of nutrient water as it used as basis to
manually set the nutrient solution to potable water to the required ratio

Variable area flow meters are also used to setthe flow rate to each OdourTeQ'" BTF spray header.

Nutrient Tank

The nutrient tank has been designed to hold approximately 2 - 3 months' supply of nutrient. When the tank is
only 20% full, a low level alarm is raised for the operators to add more nutrient to the tank and order more
nutrient if required. The nutrient will be powder based and will be available in 25kg bags. The nutrient is
inserted into the tank via a top hatch access and the service water is then used to fill the tank to the required
level. The nutrient powder is mixed sufficiently into the water due to the filling process that no tank stirrers
are required.

3.3.4.2 Packed Bed Differential Pressure

A differential pressure transmitter is provided to indicate the pressure drop across the Single Pass OdourTeQ'"
BTFs. The pressure differential across the Single Pass BTF increases over the period of acclimatisation , and will
rise further as fouling of the inorganic packed bed increases.

3.3.4.3 Single Pass BTF Sump Level

A leveltransmitter is provided to indicate the sump level on each of the Single Pass OdourTeQ'
BTFs. During normal operation the sump levelis expected to be zero.

3.3.4.4 Single Pass BTF pH and EC

A pH transmitter is provided on the exit of the drain of each of the Single Pass OdourTeQT" BTFs. This
will monitor the level of acidity in the drain water and indicate the performance of each of the Single Pass
OdourTeQ'" BTFs.

An EC transmitter is also provided on the combined drain exit of the Single Pass OdourTeQ'" BTFs. This will also
provide feedback to indicate the overall conductivity of the Single Pass OdourTeQ'" BTFs.

3.3.4.5 Temporary Recirculation System

During commissioning,

. A temporary recirculation system is required to recirculate bacteria and nutrient through the system to
promote a sudden increase in biological activity. The system involves connecting a recirculation pump to
the temporary recirc pipework isolation valves and recirculating the BTF liquor back through the system.
The nutrient water mixture is intermittently sprayed into the Single Pass BTF.
The pressure drop of the BioTrickling filter must be monitored using installed DP transmitters to monitor
formation of nori-biomass solids that may befoulthe packed bed

3.3.5 OdourTeQ' BTF Packing

The Single Pass OdourTeQ' BTFs use a proprietary media, CleanPaQ'. The media is constructed from PUF, is
cubic in shape and has a specific surface area of over 600 in'/in'.

3.3.6 Demister

Treated air from the Single Pass OdourTeQ'" BTF packing enters a demister located at the top of each Single
Pass OdourTeQ'" BTF. Each demister filter is capable of treating 20,000 in Ih. The demister filters are used as
a moisture trap device to protect and extend the life of the CleanCarb'" ACF downstream. The filter works by
physically removing water from the air stream.

3.3.7 Heater

Treated air from the Single Pass OdourTeQ'" BTFs enters a heater located next to the CleanCarb'" ACF. The
function of the heater is to reduce the relative humidity to prevent condensation forming in the ACF by
'increasing
creas'n the incomin air
the incoming airtem eratureb
temperature by a rox. 4'C.
approx. 4 C.

Two (2) temperature transmitters are installed either side of the heater to measure the temperature
differential across the heater. If excessive temperature occurs, a high alarm is triggered and shuts the heater
off.

3.3.8 CleanCarb'Activated CarbonFilter

Treated air from the heater enters the CleanCarb' ACF. The ACF is capable of treating 100,000 in'/h of air.
The carbon filter is designed such that there is a contact time of greater than or equal to 4 seconds between
the air and activated carbon and absorb greater than 2 years of air without breakthrough.

The air enters the ACF, passes up the AC bed and comes into contact with a combination of Klimpregnated
carbon and virgin GAC. The air first passes through Kl carbon, which is installed to address the HzS and other

VsCs in the air stream through chemisorption. The air then comes into contact with Virgin GAC before it exits
the ACF. The Virgin AC addresses the slightly soluble VOCs in the air stream via physical adsorption.

3.3.8.10ifferential Pressure Transmitter

A differential pressure transmitter is provided to indicate the pressure loss across each of the ACF. An increase
in differential pressure is an indication that the activated carbon may need replacing.

3.3.8.2Temperature Sensor

A temperature sensor is provided to indicate the temperature of the AC bed. An AC temperature above 55'C
could mean that there is an issue that requires operator attention.

3.3.9 Extraction Fans

Duty/standby fans draw air from the new concrete chamber. The fans are sized with sufficient differential
pressure to overcome the losses in the ATF.

The duty/standby fans include downstream nori-return valves. The main purpose of the nori-return valves is to
prevent recirculation of treated air back through the fan on standby.

The duty/standby fans are controlled externalIy by the VsD to maintain 100,000m3/hr of flow throughout the
ATF.

The fan speed will be controlled by T-mass flow transmitter installed downstream of the extraction fans.

3.3.10 Ventstack

After treatment at the ATF the treated air is discharged to atmosphere via an existing vent stack.

3.3.11 Drains

The following items have a drain connection for free draining:

w DJ Or!,.--<_C~->,-e^.,_,\7cc^ <>*'~* toUV- Co, ><\Q, ,
Each drain is fitted with a water seal to prevent air from being drawn into, or being blown out of the system.
The water seals (condensate traps) will be monitored regularly to minimise impact of evaporation.
