INTRODUCTION M/S PEPSICO INDIA HOLDINGS, SANGAREDDY, is a unit bottling beverages up a unit for manufacturing bottled juices and soft drinks. The manufacturing process con: +3 of making sugar syrup, filtering it and mixing it with soft drinks concentrate and water. The mixture is carbonated and filled in bottles. In case of juices, fruit pulp, sugar syrup, and water are mixed before bottling but no carbonation is done. The generation of effluent is due to bottle washing in 3 stages, cleaning in place (CIP) caustic drainage, filter cloth, floor and vessel washing which is done on a dai, sasis, The present plant had been upgraded to handie 2: effizent quantity of 900 Ki/Day. The Factory had proposed to set up additional facilities for nici2esed capacity by using pet lines of higher capacity. The glass lines required a bottle washer where as pet lines used only clean water rinser. As the pet bottles were uncontaminated and not recyclable. the rinsing water was being recycled back iv.» the plant thus c«.nserving water and reducing the quantum of effluent generated. The ETP had been upgraded to treat 900 ki/day of this 600 kI/day was being discharged un land for irrigation and 300 ki/day was being treated in a tertiary treatment unit and recycled back into the piant for utilites . The total quantity of effiuent generated from bottle washing, syrups and vessel wash, bottling equipment, vessel and floor wash etc. had been segregated into a high UUD stream and a low BOD stream. The plant is to receive a flow of about 565 KL/Day from the high BOD stream with a BOD of 1265 mg/l and about 480 KL/Day from the low BUD stream with 2 BOD of 400 mg/l. The plant is now to be upgraded to handle a flow of 1045 KL/Day. It was previously observed that while the analysis of high strength waste was more at peak flow but average nearly conformed with the design data , the low strength wasi2 was much stronger than the data for which ine plant wes designed .Thus this was affecting the performance of the plant during ** seak season, The observations made at site indicated that 3 ta:ge quantum of product rejection is being drained to the effluent treatment plant through t%se tow strength drain as well. Apparently a pre treatment facility has been provided at site which is treating rejected slice along with sewage. Post this treatment the effluent is conveyed to the ETP. The effluent treatment plant shall be upgra:)+1 for the increase! load. all product rejects will be drained only to the pre treatment facility, where It shall be anaerobically degraded with sewage and overflow of this facility shall be conveyed to the equalization tanks of the ETP. vol Bees 7 Tou Anots¥'C SH aS, _ dolo- Lomi Pe 2 gle The list of units for the effluent treatment plant is as follows:~ Sr.No. Unit Dimension Remark a Screen Chamber-! 12mx0.8m Existing | 0.54 KL 2 | Equalization Tank-l(2Nos.)

In the ‘Zeeweed MBR process, the 4.Biolagieal reactor 2.Membranes 5.Permeate pump & air blower 4, Control pane! 15, Permeate & air piping membrane cassettes are immersed directly in the mixed liquor in the membrane tanks, The 3D drawing above (example) shows the main components of an MBR system Permeate pumps/back pulse pumps (process pumps) with VFD The mernbrane cassettes in each tank shall be connected to a permeate header, which in turn shall be connected to the suction of a Permeate/Backpulse Pump. This set of cassettes, the piping, and the pump is referred to as a membrane train. The vacuum generated by the Permeate Pump draws permzrte from the outside in through the membrane fibres. All Permeate/Backpuls: guys uischarge into a common permeate collection header. All the trains in the plant are operated with a repeating filtration cycle. It consists of two phases: permeation (drawing) of water through tie membranes followed by a short period of reverse flow (backpulsing) or relaxation (no flcx:}. For the proposed ‘membrane filtration system the same pump will be used for permeate and backpulse necessary valving arrangement Pump parts and MO Casing 2c Impeller $5316 Permeate pump priming system -Ejector system After extended standby periods or when a train is first placed into automatic control, an automated valve which connects the top of the membrane train permeate header to an ejector (shown below) and an automated valve which connects the ejector to the Air Compressor opens, The compressed air drives the ejector to create a vacuum :tat draws alr out of the train, pulling water through the membranes until water in the header hits a level switch. This indicates that both vaives can be closed to ensure the system is primed and can be placed in operation. To simplify system control the ejector configuration consists of one unit per train and is controlled by PLC. Make of ejecior should be VACCON/PIAB only, Air Scour Blowers for Membrane Aeration Whenever a membrane train is in preduction, membrane aeration blowers will produce the air scour required to removs so'icis from the membrane surface and maintain membrane permeability. A spe‘, designed and highly efficient aeration system shall be used to scour the outside surface of the membrane and move mixed liquor solids away from the membrane finres. This shall be accomplished by a GE patented aeration system that uses a factory installed aeration grid, which is integrated into the base of each ZeeWeed 500d cassette. The Integration of diffusers within the cassette simplifies the installation of diffusers and enhances the operation of the ‘membrane unit, The blowers discharge into the m-rbrane aeration r:nifolds. This manifold delivers air to the membrane distribut‘un o'r headers installed above each membrane tank (train). These Manifolds are by Customer. o ooo oO Conventional Cyclic aeration : For optimal balance between tise energy requirements ‘of the membrane aeration blowers and the amount of air scouring provided at the membranes, the system can be designed to cycle air withiss each membrane cassette (10:10 mode or 10:30 mode). Eee! cassette is equippeu with two air connections; one air connection from each cassette is connected to one of two air headers at each membrane tank, using a flexible hose. Airflow is cycled from one train header to the other (using pneumatic valves} so that half of each cassette Is aerated at a time Recirculation Pump (RAS pumps) ‘Membrane tank Drain pump The membrane tanks need to be drained for recovery chemical cleaning or other maintenance procedures. This can be achieved by using the above mentioned mixed liquor recirculation: pumps{-RAS-Pumps) or separate drain pumps may be used:— Sludge dewatering system ‘Common membrane chemical cleaning system Control equipment (PLC) Instrumentation - Pressure Transmitters, Temperature T-=asmitters, Leve! Transmitters Turbidity meter and Magflow Meter 1.3 Membrane system operation modes *, Cieaviing processes Operation modes ‘The sections below highlight the main operational, cont’, aspects and cleaning processes of the membrane system for PUMP - FROM (MEMBRANE TANK) configuration Off, Permeation and Stand-ay Modes, Off Mode In OFF mode, devices are off. However, for membrane vrotection, to ensure the membranes are submerged the feed valves are opened. When the water level is above the membranes the feed valves are closed. Filtration/Production/Permeation Mode Filtration, or permeation, consists of drawing clean water from the mixed liquor through the membrane fibers via the permeate pump. Water is produced from each train during the filtration period tor duration of 11 minutes, followed by a 30 second relaxation. The filtration duration cycle is based on GE’s extensive experience with the numerous GE's MBRs in operation throughout the world. There is permeate/process pump per train with 50% standby pump for filtration purposes. The vacuum generated by the permeate pump draws permeate from the outside-in through the membranes and discharges it to the Permeate Storage Tank. The variable speed pumps are controlled by PLC to maintain the permeate-flow demand. ‘The PLC continuously runs a PID loop for Trans Membrane Pressure (TMP) while in 1, The PLC uses the lower of the control outputs from the flow loop and TMP All the permeate pumps are controlled at the same flow set points and are complete with premium efficiency VFD rated motors +c sischarge flow meter. Maximum pump capacity for permeation 's achieved at the highest design level in the process tanks. All pump speeds will graducty ce recse as the liquid level in the process tanks decreases. If during low flow conditions this ievel drops below the design minimum, and the pumps cannot be slowed down any further, one or more trains will automatically go into standby mode. During or below average day flow conditions, all trains will be in uperation provided any trains are not required to go into stand-by mode. All permeate pumps and Mixed Liquor RAS pumps will be operating. All permeate pumps will disch: Permeate Storage Tank permeate header. ‘ye into a common pormeete collection header. The tie Sackpulse Tank are both fed from the common Cleaning and Maintenance Procedures ‘As the feed is drawn through the membranes during filtration, solids are removed which accumulate on the membrane surface. As the solids accumulate, they restrict the flow through the membranes and eventually membrane cleaning is required in order to maintain the filtered water flow rate. Membrane cleaning is absolutely critical to ensure sustainable operation over the life of the plant regardless of membrane type. GE’s MBR system Is designed with the most ‘comprehensive cleaning toolbox, which represents the culmination of years of experience in long-term MBR operation for uncompromised performance over the life of the membranes.
