3 INTRODUCTION
3.1 GENERALLY

This instructions are intended to familiarize you with the wastewater treatment plant. Following the
instructions given herein will ensure safe and trouble-free operation of the WWTP.

If you follow this Manual, it is guaranteed the rules of safe use will be kept at the level corresponding
the currently valid safety standards, rules and right technical procedures while using the WWTP.

It is necessary to be familiarized with this Manual before you start using the WWTP. Do not carry out
any activities before you have become familiar with this service manual thoroughly and have understood
all the instructions listed in it.

3.2 GRAPHICAL LABELLING OF INSTRUCTIONS

Very important instructions and warnings are highlighted in this Manual as follows:

Instructions failure of which to follow might cause endangering people or


properties.

Prohibited activities.

Other important instructions.

4 USING AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WWTP


The Wastewater Treatment Plant of type BIO CLEANER®is a biological WWTP that works based on the
principle of low-loaded activation with complete stabilization of the activated sludge. The activation is
organized like so called D-N process, it means denitrification-nitrification activated sludge process. The
process of treatment proceeds in one tank – BIO CLEANER® biological reactor, which is divided to
several zones with different technological parameters of operation.

WWTP tank – BIO CLEANER® biological reactor is formed by a plastic (eventually stainless steel or
concrete) container, which is intended to be installed into the terrain. Based on special order, a
technological built-in unit of the WWTP can be also placed into the concrete tank of appropriate
dimensions. The blower is the basic equipment for air supply, mixing of mixed liquor and pumping of
return sludge. The mixing and aeration of the activation mixture is carried out by means of aeration
elements. Forced pumping of return sludge and floating impurities from the secondary settling tank is
ensured with the aid of so called hydraulic-pneumatic pumps (air-lift pumps).

The WWTP also includes a control unit, or more precisely, electric switchboard (depending on the
WWTP variant and operation comfort), and an air blower; these components are installed near the tank,
for example to the cellar, garage, pillar, technical house, etc.

At the customer's request, the WWTP technology can also be equipped with, for example, a dosing
pump (excess phosphorus precipitation), an oxygen probe, a tertiary filter or a UV disinfection at the
outlet.

In terms of construction, the WWTP can be supplemented with, for example, a pumping pit, a septic
tank, or sludge box.

WWTP OPERATING MANUAL Ver. 03.19 EN

5 WWTP OPERATING CONDITIONS


The WWTP is designed for continuous operation to treat wastewater in volume and quality
corresponding to its expected loading as per the project documentation based on the size and type of
the connected building.

To ensure the proper operation the WWTP is necessary to be ON permanently.

Since there are biological procedures during the treatment, supplying of substances that could kill living
microorganisms must be avoided to keep the proper operation of the WWTP.

It is NOT allowed to supply the sewerage connected to the WWTP or the WWTP tank
itself with:
- High concentration of grease,
- Regenerative softener solutions,
- Backwash from filters of household water treatment installations,
- Paints, varnish and diluents,
- Strong disinfectants, acids, and alkali,
- Wastewater from condensing boilers (having low pH),
- Rain water,
- Waste from the kitchen garbage disposal unit.

The quality of the wastewater treatment is negatively influenced by higher amount of detergents and
surfactants. We recommend to avoid doing laundry too frequently (many times during weekend). The
negative effect is shown by the pH value increase and poorer transfer of oxygen to water, which are
factors influencing the activity of microorganisms. It is better to do your laundry within a few days.

We strongly recommend using disinfection solutions which do NOT contain chlorine compounds
(sodium hypochlorite)!

However, usually used amount of detergents (during normal operation of your household) should not
affect the WWTP operation.

The WWTP inlet is mechanically filtered from larger and floating impurities (toilet paper, kitchen waste,
etc.) in the trash rack; these are necessary to be removed and disposed periodically (otherwise, the
drainage may become blocked).

To reduce the interval of cleaning the trash racks we recommend to avoid supplying the WWTP
with:

 Plastics  Toiletries (sanitary towels, tampons)


 Rubber  Condoms
 Textile  Nappies
 Food residues  Dampened towels, paper handkerchiefs, etc.

9.1 RECOMMENDED SETTING OF THE AIR DISTRIBUTOR FOR BC 51 – 200 WWTP

Fig. 2: Air distributor

1. The coarse-bubble aeration element under the trash-rack basket – set to moderate aeration.
The element assures mixing of the return sludge with wastewater and aeration of the basket of
the coarse mechanical impurities in order to comminute and breakup these impurities.
2. Fine-bubble aeration elements/grate in the nitrification zone – leave the air into aeration
elements fully open. The elements ensure mixing of the mixed liquor in the nitrification zone.
3. The coarse-bubble aerator in the sedimentation zone is to be adjusted to breakup the surface
layer of floating impurities. ONLY moderate aeration is recommended. (Sludge should settle in
the sedimentation tank, so it is inappropriate to feed too much air into this zone and
unnecessarily swirl it. The aeration is used only for the purpose of breaking the sludge layer on
the surface level.) Aeration in the sedimentation zone is not always necessary.
4. Air-lift pump of the return sludge – set equal flow – about half the pipe diameter, water must not
be sprayed.

A small air leak from the air system does not affect the functionality of the
WWTP.

9.2 THE REFERENCE VALUES OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN IN INDIVIDUAL ZONES

10 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WWTP


10.1 GENERALLY

This chapter gives a brief description of the WWTP you should become familiar with before proceeding
with operation and maintenance.

The basic parts of the WWTP:


 Bio Cleaner® reactor is a cylindrical or square tank fitted with technological partitions,
installations and equipment, where the treatment of the wastewater takes place. The tank is
situated under ground level, above ground level, it is covered with wooden or plastic lid. The
tank is made of polypropylene (BC…PP), stainless steel (BC…SL) or from concrete (BC…B),
possibly polyethylene (BC…PE). Under special conditions, the Bio Cleaner ® reactor can be
alternatively installed only as a technological installation into a concrete tank or a concrete
receiver (e.g. into an original septic trap).
 Blower serving as a source of air for the WWTP; placed inside a building (e.g. a garage, cellar,
etc.) or in a pillar, technical house and like.
 Switch clock/timing relays, control unit electrical switchboard – used to control the WWTP
operation; placed inside a building (e.g. a garage, cellar, etc.) or in a pillar, technical house and
like.
 Air supply into the Bio Cleaner® biological reactor made by means of a PVC hose and PP tubes
placed in a protector below ground level.

Liquid + Air
 Pumps – Air-lift pumps
In case of need, inside the Bio Cleaner ®
reactor, the hydraulic-pneumatic pump (so
called air-lift pump, mammoth) starts pumping.
The air-lift pump is a device, which utilizes the
density difference of its own liquid and mixture
of liquid and air for pumping. The function of Liquid
the air-lift pump is shown in the following
picture in a simplified way:
Air

Fig. 3: Air-lift pump funktion

10.2 BIO CLEANER® BIOLOGICAL REACTOR

Biological reactor is designed as plastic (or stainless steel or concrete) tank, plastic built-in installation
is placed inside. All metal parts of the construction are made from stainless steel.
Installation in the tank creates three hydraulic-separated zones:
- Inlet zone (denitrification zone),
- Activation zone (nitrification zone),
- Secondary settling area (secondary settling zone).

Wastewater is transported into the WWTP through sewerage. Removable trash-rack basket (hereinafter
referred to as the basket) with holes of approximate diameter of 16 mm is placed under the sewerage
inlet pipe. Aeration element is located under the basket to facilitate removal of the trapped organic
impurities. The amount of air under the basket is regulated manually using the separate valve. The
amount of air should be only as large as to assure sufficient breaking of the trapped impurities (e.g. toilet
paper). It is inconvenient to let excessive amount of air under the basket because there will not be
enough air for the next air system elements!

PURECO – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WWTP – BIOCLEANER BC 4 – 200 PP, PE, SL, B

WWTP OPERATING MANUAL Ver. 03.19 EN

Denitrification zone
The inlet zone serves for biological removal of nitrogen pollution from wastewater in the absent
of atmospheric oxygen. Wastewater, return sludge and possible floating impurities are fed to this zone
from the secondary settling zone. Coarse-bubble aeration element provides mixing of return sludge with
wastewater; the element serves for aeration of coarse impurities basket as well. Intensity of mixing is
adjusted by control valve. Amount of air should be such that geysers cannot form on water level when
mixing.

Nitrification zone
Nitrification zone occupies the part of biological reactor between walls of tank, denitrification and
secondary settling zone. The step 2 of the nitrogen removal takes place here in the presence of oxygen.
The mixing and oxygenation of mixed liquor is provided by the air driven into the fine-bubble aeration
elements mounted at the bottom. Individual air supplies to the elements must be always fully open.

Secondary settling zone


In the secondary settling tank, activated sludge is being separated (settled) from the treated water. The
sedimentation tank level is rippled using the coarse-bubble aerator to prevent forming of a crust of the
floating impurities.
In the other versions, the treated water outlet is regulated by the crested weir on the outlet pipe. Floating
containment boom is placed upstream of the outlet pipe to trap the floating impurities.
The WWTPs of the EXCLUSIVE/EXCLUSIVE UV type have a tertiary filter mounted at the outlet to trap
impurities in the treated water.
Each WWTP is equipped with the air lift pump for return sludge that re-pumps part of the settled sludge
from the secondary settling tank back into the inlet zone. This air lift pump must be always operational
if the blower is in operation!

Aeration and mixing equipment, air-lift pump


The fine-bubble aeration system is used to assure the supply of oxygen into the biological treatment
process and maintain the mixed liquor in the uptake. The blower is used as the source of air. The
aeration system is formed by several fine-bubble disc-type aeration elements, 1–2 pcs of the coarse-
bubble elements and, if necessary, one pipe element – depending on the WWTP type.
The air lift pump is used to pump the decanted sludge from the secondary settling zone back to the
denitrification zone and to pump off the floating impurities.
The air supply to WWTP for the aeration system and the air lift pump is regulated by the valves placed
on the air distributor.

10.3 EQUIPMENT OPTIONS

 Phosphorus precipitation (optional equipment for BC COMFORT, standard equipment


for BC EXCLUSIVE and BC EXCLUSIVE UV)
The excessive phosphorus, that can no longer be removed biologically, is precipitated chemically by
dosing the aluminium salts in a form of the commercially available solutions. The dosing system is
delivered as a unit – dosing pump, canister, and collection tray. This entire unit is installed together with
blower into the area of technical room or technical house. The dosing pump should not be situated more
than 10 m from WWTP.
Detail description is given in Chapter 14.

 Tertiary final treatment – mechanical filter (equipment for EXCLUSIVE and EXCLUSIVE
UV model)
Mechanical filter can be installed at the outlet from WWTP to trap possible impurities escaped from the
secondary settling tank. The filter is fitted in a separate tank on the outlet pipe. The impurities trapped
on the filter or settled in the tank are pumped off automatically by the air lift pump back to the activation
system.
We recommend to check the filter once a month and, if necessary, rinse the filter manually in a bucket
with water or using the stream of clean water from a hose.
Detail description is given in Chapter 14.

PURECO – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WWTP – BIOCLEANER BC 4 – 200 PP, PE, SL, B

WWTP OPERATING MANUAL Ver. 03.19 EN

 UV disinfection (standard equipment for BC EXCLUSIVE UV)


The EXCLUSIVE type WWTP can be additionally extended by the UV disinfection lamp that is installed
downstream of the mechanical filter (depending on the WWTP capacity).

 Oxygen/pH probe (optional equipment for BC COMFORT, EXCLUSIVE and EXCLUSIVE UV)
The oxygen probe (oximeter) is used to control the blower operation depending on the actual demand
of oxygen in the nitrification zone. This results in a reduction of blower operation costs as compared to
the control by time intervals as well as in achievement of the optimum conditions of the activation
process.
The pH probe is suitable to install into the WWTP where no inlet of the standard wastewater is present
– e.g. the inlet of industrial wastewater. The pH probe can be used to monitor the water quality and, if
necessary, optimize the pH value in the activation process. The pH values outside of the optimum range
of 6–8 inhibit the wastewater treatment processes.

 Optional connection using GSM (remote management)

The waste water treatment plant equipped with the COMFORT Plus control unit with GSM can be
controlled using the command SMS sent from a mobile phone. In fault condition, the WWTP can
simultaneously sent notification in a form of SMS to the selected mobile phone number.

 Optional monitoring of operation, faults, and control via online server


For the WWTP equipped with the COMFORT Plus control unit with GSM, the WWTP control
system can be put into operation via the web interface through the GSM data transfer.

 PRIM pre-tank (the WWTP complies with the requirements of class III)

The primary sedimentation tank –PRIM – is installed upstream of the actual WWTP tank. The
wastewater supplied by sewerage flow firstly into the tank that is used as a primary sedimentation of
coarse impurities. The water free of coarse impurities flows through a gravity overflow into the biologic
reactor.
Excessive sludge from the WWTP can be pumped into the PRIM tank.

UV radiation
The equipment is fitted with UV lamp that emits the C-type UV radiation. This radiation may damage the
sight, skin and possibly other organs. To prevent exposure to radiation the reactor is enclosed by cover
with a safety switch that cuts off the power supply to UV lamp once the cover is open.

To ensure the high efficiency of the UV lamp, it is necessary to check its cleanliness once a month (or
according to the load of WWTP operation) and wipe it, if necessary – spray dirt with water.

Before removing the UV lamp from its protective cover, it is absolutely necessary
to put the UV lamp out of operation by switching it off or by switching the main
circuit breaker of the WWTP control unit off.

Expected lifetime of the UV lamp is 1 year. If the lamp is used for a longer period of time, its efficiency
may be significantly reduced, resulting in a deterioration of the microbiological count at the WWTP outlet.
We recommend to replace the UV lamp after 1 year of continuous operation.

The switchboard contains electrical parts necessary for powering and operation of the UV lamp. On the
switchboard, there is a circuit breaker for switching on/off the device and the monitoring current relay,
which triggers light signalling in the case of UV lamp failure.

The operation and maintenance of the UV lamp is described in Chapter 15.8.

12 WWTP OF DUO TYPE


The WWTP structure consists of the two interconnected tanks. The first tank – PRIM – is used for
primary sedimentation of the settleable impurities and floating substances from wastewater and,
simultaneously, it serves as a tank for accumulation of the primary and secondary sludge. The other
tank is represented by the own WWTP tank of COMFORT, EXCLUSIVE or EXCLUSIVE UV type.
Wastewater flows into the PRIM tank where waste water is pretreated. This tank is used as a primary
sedimentation of coarse impurities that drop to the tank bottom. The floating impurities (e.g. fats) are
trapped here as well. The water free of coarse impurities flows through a gravity overflow into the biologic
reactor (the actual WWTP tank).
The air lift pump for withdrawal of floating impurities and the sludging air lift pump from the secondary
settling tank are introduced into the primary sedimentation tank. Thus, the tank is used as an
accumulation reservoir for the excessive sludge.
The layout of the actual WWTP tank is similar as that for the COMFORT type. Only the trash-rack basket
is not placed at the inlet because it is useless (impurities are trapped in the PRIM tank). The gravity inlet
from the primary sedimentation is equipped with a serrated crested weir.
The WWTP operation is controlled by the COMFORT PLUS control unit.
The basic accessories of the DUO type WWTP also includes the set for precipitation of excessive
phosphorus.
The WWTP layout is depicted on the figure below.

7) If the WWTP is equipped with the ComfortPlus control unit with a socket for the dosing pump it
is possible to adjust dosing on the control unit that will assume function of the digital time switch.
The necessary amount of Flocculant PAX is within the order of millilitres. As it is very low
quantity, the dosing pump operation must be time-controlled. The least time unit to be set on
the digital time switch is 1 minute.
8) Connect the pump to the socket on the digital time switch that needs to be connected to the
power socket.
In the ComfortPlus control unit with the dosing pump socket, connect the pump directly to this
socket. In this case, the digital time switch is not used.

14.4 DOSING

BE CAREFUL IF YOU USE THE FLOCCULANT PAX, WEAR PERSONAL


PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND FOLLOW ALL THE WORK SAFETY RULES!!!
CONCENTRATED FLOCCULANT PAX IS A STRONG CAUSTIC!!!

The table below specifies the daily doses of Flocculant PAX to obtain the resultant phosphorus
concentration of about 3 mg/l at the outlet from WWTP. The calculation considered the input phosphorus
concentration of 17 mg/l (80 % efficiency in the phosphorus removal). The actual necessary dose can
be higher or lower depending on the input phosphorus concentration.
We recommend to set the initial dose lower to consequently correct the dosed amount depending on
the analysis results. The dose should be uniformly distributed throughout the entire day.
Never dose a larger amount into WWTP than necessary! Increased doses of Flocculant PAX may
reduce improperly pH in WWTP that would result in the inhibition of the treatment processes. Increasing
dose goes hand in hand with increased production of sludge (inorganic ballast) and the need to remove
the sludge from the WWTP more frequently.

PE Water amount (m3/d) Dose of PAX (l/d)

51 7.50 0.80
60 9.00 0.96
75 11.25 1.20
100 15.00 1.60
125 18.75 2.00
150 22.50 2.40
200 30.00 3.20

Peristaltic pump has a maximum output of 1.0 l/h depending on the distance of installation from WWTP.
After the dosing pump has been activated, the actual dosed amount of Flocculant PAX into WWTP must
be measured. The necessary dosing interval per day must be set based on this measuring.
Ex.: In the ComfortPlus control unit, the required interval must be selected according to the table in the
manual.

14.5 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

14.5.1 Check of the Flocculant PAX amount


- Visual check – once a month:
- Check of the Flocculant PAX amount in the canister, the canister content should be
sufficient for 2–5 months of operation depending on WWTP capacity and loading.
- Check of the canister for tightness,
- check of the drip pan for possible presence of Flocculant PAX.

To ensure the correct function of the equipment, the flocculant supplied by


Envi-Pur s.r.o. must be used exclusively!

14.5.2 Dosing pump operation


The operation requires special measures and attention with regard to the medium to be dosed.
- When in operation, check is made of the dosing of Flocculant PAX into the point of introduction into
WWTP:
- Make visual check once a month for:
- Dosing hose tightness.
- Impurities in the dosing hose and suction basket.
- Periodic maintenance
- After 4–6 months, lubricate the silicone hose in the dosing pump with a silicone-based gel.
- replace the hose after 1–2 years (the spare hose can be ordered from the WWTP
manufacturer).
Stopping the dosing equipment
The dosing pump is equipped with the switch used to stop the pump. Further, the pump can be
disconnected from the electric energy.

The pump must be OFF when the WWTP is being shut down!

14.6 OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK WITH COAGULANT

The aqueous solution of Flocculant PAX is used as a coagulant. Chemical composition is specified in
the Safety Data Sheet that comes together with the supplied medium.

All the occupational measures for the work with caustic chemicals must be adhered to. In case
of contact with the skin, the affected place must be rinsed with sufficient flow of pure, potable water and
washed with soap. In case of eye contact, immediately start rinsing with a flow of cold water and seek
medical help without delay. Use the nearest drinking water reservoir. If swallowed do not induce vomiting
and seek medical help without delay. All the vessels that contain coagulant must be visibly marked with
relevant pictogram for caustic chemicals. They must NOT be confused with the packages for food and
beverages! When working near the atomizing nozzles at the dosing points and during the dosing pump
assembly and disassembly, the inflow from the reservoir tank must be stopped and the warning plate –
Work in progress on the equipment – Do not start! – must be posted on the equipment and its controls.

15 RIPENING OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT


PLANT
Wastewater treatment is a biological process and is dependent on the reproduction of microorganisms,
among other. On that ground, the required level of treatment is reached after some time of regular
operating of the WWTP under the projected loading. The time from putting into operation to reaching
the full treatment effectiveness takes approx.
3 to 8 weeks and is dependent on the quality and temperature of wastewater at inlet. This period is
expertly called “the ripening period”. In the ripening period the setting, operation time (the phase C1)
and the stopping time (the phase C2) differ from the regular WWTP operation. During the ripening
period, larger amount of air must be supplied into WWTP than during the common operation. We
recommend to perform this activity by an authorized person or manufacturer.

In order to treat the wastewater to the level specified, it is necessary to ripen the biological process.
There are two ways of biological process ripening:
 Progressive ripening, i.e. inflow of waste water and permanent loading, even above the
specified technological parameters,
 Import of activated sludge, so-called inoculum, from other biological WWTP.

In both cases all elements of aeration system are necessary to be opened in a right position (see
Chapters 9.1, 10.2). Aeration system, air-lift pump of return sludge and aeration of screen
basket/denitrification zone have to be in operation.
Ripening mode has been set when putting the WWTP into operation. In case of
repeated putting into operation (e.g. after a long-time weaning from permanent
operation), it must be set up again.

Mixture of activated sludge – bacteria, which get into the WWTP from intestinal tract of people – is
created in the WWTP by gradual ripening. They multiply gradually in wastewater.
When ripening WWTP with inoculum sludge, it is important to choose the activated sludge from different
WWTP that functions correctly. The sludge must sediment in correct manner. In the process of
inoculation, it is convenient to apply such an amount of a return sludge that corresponds to about ¼ of
the volume of your WWTP.
The WWTP is ripened if the sedimentation test result given about 25–30 % of sludge.
After ripening, it is necessary to set the operation time and the blower operation interruption according
to the actual substance load and hydraulic load acquired from the long-term monitoring of the WWTP
operation. We recommend to perform this activity by an authorized person or manufacturer.

16.5 DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES PERFORMED DURING OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

16.5.1 Daily inspection


Within the daily inspection, it is necessary to verify if the WWTP is in operation and whether any fault of
the electrical equipment is present or not. The inspection does not require opening of the BIO
CLEANER® reactor – this is done in the room where blower is situated.

During inspection, verify:


 Connection of the blower into socket.
 Activation of the circuit breaker on the electrical cabinet*.
 Activation of the membrane blower in the phase C1.
 Possible occurrence of a fault message*.
 Whether or not the blower noise or temperature increased significantly.
 Sufficient supply of the precipitation solution and the canister tightness.
 Check of a pressure loss on the blower filter (if the EFFEPIZETA-type blower is installed) ¤).
(* This applies for the COMFORT, EXCLUSIVE, EXCLUSIVE UV variant)

If any fault occurs, proceed according to Chapter 21.

16.5.2 Weekly inspection


Within the weekly inspection, it is necessary to verify visually the WWTP function and eventually to clean
some parts. During the inspection it is necessary to open the BIO CLEANER ® reactor.

The following parts of the treatment plant must be checked as a part of the inspection:

A. Basket for trapping the coarse impurities at the inlet

The basket catches coarse impurities and rushes paper and biologically degradable substance using
air fed below the basket into the denitrifying zone. The basket is necessary to be checked whether or
not clogged and whether its aeration is working well.
 Wait until the WWTP reaches the phase C1 when the blower is on.
 Check whether distinct bubbles of air go through the basket. If not, slightly increase the airflow
below the basket by turning the appropriate valve on the air distributor.
 If there are larger pieces of non-biodegradable substances (plastics, rubber, textiles) in the
basket or the water level in the basket is higher than the water level in the denitrification zone,
clean the basket.

While the basket is being cleaned, ensure that wastewater is not fed into the WWTP
(do not use appliances connected to the sewerage leading into the WWTP).

Follow these steps to clean the basket:


 Pull the basket out of the guide grooves and remove it from the tank.
 Empty the contents of the basket (the rankings) into a prepared container.
 If necessary, remove the trapped impurities mechanically.
 Push the basket back into the guide grooves.

Sprinkle rakings with bleaching powder or any other similar disinfectant and put
them into a municipal-waste vessel.

B. Air-lift pump for return sludge

The air-lift pump provides removal of the activated sludge from the secondary settling zone. It is
necessary to check if it has not been blocked. It is necessary to check whether it is not clogged.
 Wait until the WWTP reaches the phase C1 when the blower is on.,
 Check whether there is water flowing out of the air-lift pump of the return sludge in the
denitrification zone, stream of water is uniformed and doesn´t squirt on the basket.
 If not, follow the Chapter 16.

Operation of air-lift pump for return sludge implicates right operation of the WWTP.
The air-lift pump has to pump at all times, if the blower is on.
Output of air-lift pump may not be blocked and clogged.

C. Secondary settling zone


There should not be larger pieces or a layer of impurities on the water level of the secondary settling
zone. Water should be transparent and clear and below the water level boundary line of clear water and
sludge should be visible. In the drainage channel, larger amount of floating impurities should not be
trapped.
 Check the cleanliness of the drainage channel in the secondary settling zone and if larger
amount of impurities appears, clean them with a scoop and move to the denitrification zone.
 Check purity of water in the secondary settling zone and formation of the water-sludge interface.
Water should be transparent and clear and below the water level boundary line of clear water
and sludge should be visible. If not, follow Chapter 16.
 Check the cleanliness of the drainage channel and if impurities appear, clean it with a scoop
and move to the denitrification zone. In case of repeated occurrence of impurities, follow Chapter
16.
 For COMFORT, EXCLUSIVE, EXCLUSIVE UV variants, if the situation repeats periodically, try
using the cleaning of secondary settling zone function instead of picking the impurities from the
water level manually. Procced as follow when testing the cleaning function:
- Start cleaning (mode START) in the Setting mode,
- observe if the tank level drops in phase C3,
- observe if the content of the zone mixes and if the dirt on the water level is pumped
during phase C4,
- observe that after the phase C5 the impurities rise to the surface,
- observe if the impurities are pumped of the water level during phase C6.

D. Nitrification zone
The nitrification zone should be aerated equally.
 Wait until the WWTP reaches the phase C1 when the blower is on.
 Check whether air bubbles are evenly distributed at the surface level of the nitrification zone. If
not, follow Chapter 16.
 It is appropriate to open drain valves at aeration grids in container WWTP every week to drain
any condensate. If condensate is not drained, the aeration efficiency will be reduced.
 Check the injection valve of the coagulant dosing hose (PAX) to see if the solution is dosed
correctly when the feeding pump is in operation and if the solution flows through spontaneously
when the feeding pump is stopped. If not, proceed as instructed in Chapter 17. In addition, check
the injection valve for impurities (sludge) and remove them if necessary.

E. General condition of the WWTP


Check whether an event that did not arise earlier or which you find unusual has not been found. If so,
follow chapter 16.

16.5.3 pH measuring
It is strongly recommended to measure pH once a week at least with pH indicator strips. Measure with
a sample of water from the nitrification zone. The pH value should be in the neutral range. The activated
sludge can be adapted to pH values in the range 6.5–9.0.

The removal of pollution in the nitrification zone releases hydrogen ions, reducing alkalinity of
wastewater. In the case of insufficient alkalinity, nitrification can lead to a spontaneous drop in pH to
process inhibiting values. During the inflow of common sewage water into the WWTP, there is a partial
increase in alkalinity in the inlet area and, thus, compensation of possible pH drop during nitrification.

pH-value can be dramatically and suddenly reduced with bad dosing of PAX or spontaneous escape of
solution through damaged injection valve or broken hose with solution. In this case it is necessary to
correct it immediately (change of valve or hose, change dosing setting) and increase pH according to
the following procedure. Observe safety instructions when handling PAX solution!
The inflow of wastewater with low buffering capacity (mostly in the use of "soft" water, water from ion
exchange resin treatment, rain water), wastewater containing higher concentration of ammonia or low
ratio of C:N, or in the proportion of industrial wastewater treatment plant on low pH may be a breach of
this balance. Turbid effluent from the WWTP and a supernatant during the sedimentation test can be
used as an indicator (sludge is in the form of small flakes that do not settle). If the pH value below 6.5 is
detected it is necessary to initiate dosing alkalinizing chemical (lime) into the activation-nitrification zone.
Instructions on how to do this are provided below. If you are not sure, so this problem is advised to
consult the authorized person or WWTP manufacturer.

How to adjust the pH:

Aids:
A bag with slaked lime, scoop, pH indicator strips (or a pH meter).

Procedure:
Use the indicator strip to determine pH value in WWTP (measured in the aerated nitrification zone). In
case of pH value lower than 6.5, scatter a scoop of slaked lime over the water level of the aerated part.
Measure pH again after half an hour of WWTP operation. If the pH value ranges within 7.5–8.0, the
dosing can be terminated; if the pH value is outside of this range, proceed analogically until you reach
pH of 7.5–8.0. The pH value in WWTP may not exceed the value of 8.5!
Measure pH in the WWTP gradually in the interval of one or two days (depending on the rate of pH drop)
until the moment when pH about 6.5 is reached. Consequently, perform neutralization to pH 7.5–8.0.
The further procedure includes dosing of the half a dose of lime than required to obtain pH 7.5–8.0 in
the half interval than the time identified during the pH drop from pH 7.5–8.0 to the pH value below 6.5.
After reaching the required pH value, check the pH value once every two weeks. If the value is near 7
there is no need for the lime to be dosed. If lower or higher values are identified, increase or decrease
slightly the dosed amount of lime. It is not possible to extend the interval between dosing by increasing
the lime dose!
If the WWTP operator has already found the optimum procedure for lime dosing the operator does not
have to dose the lime on the WWTP water level but anywhere into the sewerage system upstream of
the WWTP providing that sufficient flow of wastewater through this part is ensured.
In principle, other alkalinizing agents such as sodium hydroxide can be used to neutralize the plant.
However, the use of strong alkalis bears the risk of overdose and subsequent treatment plant collapse,
therefore caution should be exercised when determining the appropriate dose. Generally, the dosage
amount is substantially lower than that of slaked lime and is in the order of units of grams, with the
dosage interval being shorter. The advantage of this procedure is the possibility of easy dosing directly
into the toilet, sink outlet, etc. When working with these agents, it is necessary to observe the rules of
occupational safety as stated in the product leaflet.
If the mode of operation of the wastewater treatment plant changes (e.g. long-term change in load,
change in wastewater composition, etc.) it is necessary to test again and find the dose and dosing
interval, or interrupt dosing of alkali.

16.5.4 Sludge concentration measurement – SEDIMENTATION TEST


For the correct WWTP function, the nitrification zone is necessary to contain an optimum concentration
of microorganisms that cause the actual biological treatment of water (so-called activated sludge).
 Wait for the C1 operation phase (aeration should be operational for at least 10 minutes).
 Draw water from the nitrification zone into the graduated cylinder or different transparent
cylindrical vessel of approximate volume of 1 L.
 Leave the cylinder or vessel standing for 30 min on a shady and flat place.
 Identify whether or not a clear interface of sludge and clear water is formed. If not, follow Chapter
171.
 Measure the sludge height. If the height is higher than approx. 70% of the total water level,
remove the sludge – see fig 16.5.5. Ideal sludge height is 30% to 50% of the total water level
height, the supposed desludging interval is about twice a year (depending on the WWTP load,
the frequency can be higher or lower).

Collected water with right low high none


sludge (1 liter)

Fig. 17: Possible results of the sedimentation test after 30 minutes

16.5.5 Sludge removal – DESLUDGING


During the plant operation sludge accumulates in the nitrification zone and must be pumped off.

Sludge and water pumped of the WWTP are dangerous waste and handling must
be done in accordance with legal rules.

In the desludging process, proceed as follows:


 Turn the WWTP in C1 mode or connect the blower to the power socket so that the entire aeration
volume is mixed uniformly (approximately 1 min).
 Introduce carefully the end of the suction hose of septic truck or different pumping technique
into the nitrification zone (beware, aeration elements are mounted on the bottom!).
 Slowly pump off about 1/5 to 1/2 of the tank volume.
 When pumping, the level difference in the nitrification zone and the secondary settling
tank must not exceed 40 cm, otherwise the secondary settling tank may be damaged.
 Take out the end of the suction hose of septic truck or different pumping technique.
 Activate the wastewater treatment plant.
 To verify that sufficient sludge has been pumped, carry out a sedimentation analysis the next
day.
 If there is no change in sedimentation analysis repeat the same procedure again.

- Take care not to damage the reactor when handling the hose and end.
- Refill the pumped volume immediately after pumping off.

16.5.6 Sampling
Sampling and subsequent analysis of sampled wastewater will enable to obtain information about the
treatment plant function. You can do this for your own use or because it is required by the relevant water
authority. The samples taken must always be analysed in a laboratory specialized in wastewater
analysis. Normally, it is sufficient to determine the biological oxygen demand in five days (BOD (5)),
chemical oxygen demand (COD), and suspended solids (NL).

Always agree on the number and quantity of samples taken with the analytical
laboratory before performing the sampling. At the same time, the laboratory should
provide you with water sampling bottles (special bottles), in which you take the
samples to the laboratory, and detailed instructions for sampling.

Samples can be taken with a PVC bottle, which is attached to a stick of about 1.5 meter. Rinse the bottle
with clean water and allow it to dry before sampling.
 Take the inlet sample directly below the inlet pipe.
 Take the outlet samples from a specific object which should be placed behind the WWTP within
the project design of the treatment plant.
 In case the WWTP is not equipped with the specific object, it is possible to sample from the
discharge channel or, in emergency, from the secondary settling zone.
In case of taking a sample from the secondary settling zone be careful so that floating
impurities from the water level does not get in the sample being taken. It is necessary
to dip the sampling bottle just gently under water level, otherwise settled sludge will
whirl up in the secondary settling zone, leading to result misrepresentation.
 Pour the taken sample into the sampling bottle and transport it to the laboratory as quick as
possible. Keep the sampling bottles with the taken samples away from direct sunlight, the best
temperature is under 5 °C.

Generally, it is possible to take so-called point sample or mixed sample. The point sample means that
the quantity needed for the analysis is taken in one scoop. In case of the mixed sample, the quantity
needed for the analysis is gradually poured from the same smaller quantity of the taken samples in the
given time interval. As a rule, pouring of 8 volumetrically same samples taken in 15-minute intervals,
which is within 2 hours, is done.

- Taking samples and arranging their analysis based on the decision of Water
Authority are the WWTP operator’s responsibilities.
- Specified sampling and analysis can be found in the water decision. In case
of WWTP installation according to Sec. 15(a) of the Water Act (on
announcement) it is not necessary to carry out the analyses. However, the
WWTP must be inspected by a person authorized by the Ministry of the
Environment every 2 years.

16.6 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE BLOWER

Under no circumstances, the blower may be operated with a closed discharge pipe!

The blower is operated and maintained according to the supplied technical documentation. Herein, just
some of the information are included that does not replace the “Blower Operation and Maintenance
Manual”.
Before starting maintenance, the blower must always be disconnected from the mains (removing the
plug from the socket, disconnecting the circuit breaker).

16.6.1 Blower EFFEPIZETA¤)


The blower must be placed in a well-ventilated area with ambient temperature below 40 °C. If installed
outdoors, the blower must be protected from direct sunlight, moisture and water. Both the inlet and
ambient gas temperature must be between -15 °C and + 40 °C.
Clean the mesh filter after 10–15 days of operation. In dusty areas, the filter should be cleaned more
frequently. A dirty filter can increase suction resistance and consequently operating pressure, operating
temperature and increased dust suction. The clogged filter is visualized by an additional device
containing a plug, which slides out with a gradual clogging of the filter and shows the degree of clogging.
When the plug is in the red field, the dust filter must be cleaned!

Fig. 18: Blower EFFEPIZETA¤)

The Effepizeta blower also includes a safety valve, the function of which is to protect the blower from
overheating and subsequent seizure. The safety valve reduces the air pressure in the system and it is
very important that this valve is open. Leaking air through the safety valve is a manifestation of its correct
function. Restricting the air flow through this valve can destroy the blower.

16.7 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF MECHANICAL FILTER

The WWTP operation is assured by the intermittent blower operation. The intermittent blower operation
is ensured by the control unit in the electrical cabinet. The individual stages of filter cleaning ensure by
gradually opening and closing of the solenoid valves, which are controlled by the control unit.

While putting the wastewater treatment plant into operation, the supposed optimum
setting programme has been done. Avoid changing this setting wilfully without prior
consultation with the authorized person or manufacturer because improper setting
may cause malfunction of the WWTP.

However, this setting may vary depending on the cleaning efficiency of the individual WWTP. The most
variable parameter is the phase C7, when it is necessary to trace the required length of filter blowing,
when the mesh is sufficiently shaken and cleaned with air.
16.7.1 Operation and maintenance of mechanical filter
 Solenoid valves
The solenoid valves, which are used to clean the tertiary filter, are located in the switchboard. When the
valve is in operation, check for proper opening and closing at least once a month. A metal clicking sound
means the valve is working.
Observe the operating instructions for the solenoid valves. During the warranty period, all service work
must be carried out by an authorized person or the manufacturer.

16.7.2 Mechanical tertiary filter


Maintenance of the tertiary filter consists of regular visual inspection of the filter.
Once a month, it is recommended to rinse the removable part of the tertiary filter with a not too
strong flow of water from the hose.

16.8 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE UV LAMP

The WWTP can be optionally equipped with a germicidal UV lamp, which ensures disinfection of the
treated wastewater from a microbiological point of view. It is located at the outlet of treated water from
the WWTP. It is put into operation together with WWTP.

The summary of individual performed activities is given in the following table:


Interval Activity
Day Week Month Half a year Other name Procedure

WWTP OPERATING MANUAL Ver. 03.19 EN

16.8.1 Daily inspection


Within the daily inspection, it is necessary to verify whether any fault is present or not. During the
inspection, it is not necessary to open the shaft of the equipment. Check that the circuit breaker is on or
has not tripped.

16.8.2 Weekly inspection


As a part of the weekly check, it is necessary to visually check the condition of the equipment in addition
to the daily check. During the inspection it is necessary to open the device shaft. Check the equipment
for signs of the mechanical damage and check the occurrence of such an event that did not occur
previously or that seems unusual to you.

16.8.3 Inspection and cleaning of the protective tube

To assure high efficiency of UV lamp it is necessary to check UV lamp’s protective


tube for cleanliness once a month (or depending on the WWTP operation load) and if
necessary wipe off – wash the impurities with water.

To do this, follow these steps:


 Switch off the equipment using a circuit breaker (shutting down the entire
WWTP).
 Remove the tube with UV lamp.
 Check that the supply cable or the tube itself has not been damaged or that
water has not penetrated into the tube.
 If the tube surface is not clean, clean it with water and a soft disposable cloth.
 In case of heavy contamination, use sponge and clean water.
 Turn on the circuit breaker again and check if the error message appears on
the control unit screen (e.g. UV lamp would be incorrectly connected).

Before cleaning the UV lamp, switch off the equipment using the circuit breaker (shutting
down the entire WWTP).

16.8.4 UV lamp replacement


The UV lamp has a design life of approx. 10,000 to 12,000 hours. After this time, the UV emission
efficiency decreases even though the lamp emits light. For this reason, it is necessary to replace the UV
lamp once a year.

We recommend to have the UV lamp replaced by an authorized person within the equipment
service.

- Always use only the UV lamp supplied as a spare part for the equipment.
- Never pull out the plug with the UV lamp by pulling the supply cable.
- Never remove the sealing ring from the tube.
- In the event of damage to individual parts, do not operate the equipment and
contact ENVI-PUR, s.r.o. or the authorized person.

If handling reveals damage to any part of the tube, including the supply cable, if
water got into the tube or if the safety switch or the cable to the switch was
damaged, stop immediately operation of the UV equipment and contact ENVI-
PUR, s.r.o. or the authorized person.

- Do not clean the tube with sharp objects or materials to avoid scratching the
tube.
- Use extreme care when handling the tube to avoid damaging it.
- Wear gloves when working – never touch glass cover or UV lamp with bare
hands (a fat that compromises efficiency of UV radiation is left on the glass).
- Use technical alcohol to clean the glass cover or UV lamp.
- Never look directly at the UV lamp while it is turned on. Risk of sight
damage!!!
To replace the lamp, follow the pictures:

16.9 OPERATION IN WINTER SEASON

The WWTP tank is installed underground and no additional thermal insulation is required for winter
operation. In winter season, it is necessary to pay increased attention to the observance of OHSAS
regulations. In particular, care must be taken to ensure that access to the equipment and objects to be
serviced is kept in working order (snow removal and ice scattering).
Before winter season, it is advisable to remove sludge from the WWTP if necessary. Suitable amount
of sludge for winter operation is about 40–50 %. In winter, the wastewater temperature in the WWTP
decreases and, thus, the activity of bacteria is also reduced. The cleaning efficiency is lower during this
period and the waste water temperature should not fall below 5 °C.
If the sewage wastewater is permanently fed to the WWTP and the blower is in operation, there is no
risk of the technology freezing.
However, pay special attention to the blower control if it is placed in a pillar or other object, e.g. in the
ground.
It is also recommended to check that there is no condensation water on the “discharge pipe” of the
blower to avoid freezing.

16.10 KEEPING OF THE OPERATION DOCUMENTATION

In accordance with the valid legal regulations, it is necessary to keep written records of the operation
of the wastewater treatment plant in the form of the WWTP Operations Log. It is sufficient to keep
the Log as a separate textbook. The following must be recorded in the Log (as minimum):
 Weekly maintenance performance,
 occurrence of failures,
 sludge pumping off,
 results of sedimentation tests,
 sampling,
 service and repairs,
 changes in the control unit,
 shutdown of the wastewater treatment plant.

- The operator of the wastewater treatment plant is responsible for keeping


records.
- The records are checked by the relevant Water Management Authority.
- The operator of the wastewater treatment plant shall provide these records to
the contractor in the event of a claim.

If the operator does not submit to the manufacturer the WWTP Operations Log when applying
the warranty repair, the complaint may not be accepted!!!

17.2.3 Other failures


The failures can be detected visually as a part of operation and maintenance. These are failures that
may be caused by a failure of the blower itself, a break in the air supply to the reactor, a failure of a
functional part of the reactor, a failure of a dosing pump or UV.

17.3 TECHNOLOGICAL FAILURES

Technological failures can be caused by the treatment plant load not complying with the design
documentation (high amount of water fed to the wastewater treatment plant, feeding of water of the
composition not corresponding to domestic wastewater or change in composition of industrial water
being fed) or by neglecting of operation and maintenance. The technological failures may show by:
 Inappropriate quantity of the activated sludge (see 0),
 Occurrence of white foam at the level of the nitrification zone,
 Smell of water in the reactor,
 Increased occurrence of impurities on the level surface of the secondary settling zone,
 Increased occurrence of small flakes at the outlet,
 Failure to comply with the guaranteed indicators in the wastewater discharged as detected
during sampling.

If a technological failure occurs or is suspected to occur, proceed as follows:


 Check whether there has not been any functional failure (if so, correct the failure),
 Check whether or not the substances capable of killing the living microorganisms were fed into
WWTP (see Chapter 5).
In case of inappropriate quantity of the activated sludge
 Check the quantity of sludge in the WWTP by sedimentation test:
1. Sludge quantity below 30%: There is insufficient activated sludge very
concentration in the tank. This phenomenon at the time of WWTP clean
ripening means that the activated sludge has not been formed yet. water
At the time of operation of an already ripened WWTP, it indicates
that the sludge either disappeared or was washed away (inflow of
toxic substances, excessive amount of wastewater flowing into the
WWTP). Try to find the cause and possibly remedy. Wait
approximately 2 weeks and perform the sedimentation test again sludge
to determine whether the sludge increases.
2. Sludge quantity above 70%: There is high activated sludge
concentration in the tank. Remove the sludge from the WWTP
according to 16.5.5.
3. Sludge quantity above 70% even though the WWTP has been
desludged in recently: The last sludge removal from the
wastewater treatment plant was insufficient or there is so-called Seeding of sludge
sludge bulking. Remove again the sludge from the WWTP. If the -fibrous water
level of sludge is still high after second removal, this is so-called -fibrous bacterias
sludge bulking, there is an overgrowth of filamentous bacteria.
Filamentous bacteria hold flocs of sludge in suspension and they do not settle. On the
contrary, supernatant (decanted water) is very clear. Thick foam may create in activation
zone. Filamentous bacteria overgrowth usually (they are always at lower amount in
activated sludge), if operation conditions of the WWTP are changed (excessive loading of
WWTP, toxic substances, GREASE!, change of temperature, low pH, too old sludge,
inappropriate aeration). In case of grease problems, please contact the manufacturer who
will advise you on the appropriate grease trap.
Filamentous microorganisms can be suppressed by chlorination or by coagulate loading of
the sludge (dosing of PAX), or the entire WWTP can be pumped off, cleaned and re-
ripened. Consult the suitable remedy with the service technician or with the manufacturer.
In case of presence of white foam on the water level of the nitrification zone:

- Check the quantity of sludge in the WWTP by sedimentation test.


- White and very light foam is formed in large amount in phase of WWTP ripening or in the
case of low concentration of sludge in system. During normal operation, this foam can
signalize excessive drainage of excessive sludge or massive leak of suspended solids
from the secondary settling tank. The foam will disappear spontaneously, if enough
amount of sludge is formed – approx. 20–30 %.
- Another reason why the white foam is created can be excessive discharge of soaps,
detergents (washing powder etc.) or different industrial waters. In such a case reduce
their usage.

In case of WWTP smell:


- In most cases, the smell of WWTP indicates a lack of oxygen!
- Check the blower and its operation, if OK, follow these steps:
- Check if the aeration elements are bubbled through sufficiently, if sufficient amount of air
is supplied into the aeration elements (e.g. larger opening of the tap at the air supply to
the air lift pump causes withdrawal of a large amount of air and, as a result, the aeration
elements oxidize the waste water insufficiently).
- For COMFORT/EXCLUSIVE/EXCLUSIVE UV variant set the parameter in P1 mode up
by one level on the control unit.
- Check the amount of sludge in the WWTP using a sedimentation test to see if there is no
more excess sludge consuming the supplied oxygen faster. If sludge is more than 70 %,
remove it.
- If the WWTP smells and the sludge is already grey to black:
- - For COMFORT/EXCLUSIVE/EXCLUSIVE UV variant, it is necessary to switch the
blower into programme P1 „9“.
-
- This special regime must be maintained for at least 1 week (until the WWTP stops
smelling and the sludge starts to turn in brown).

In case of higher occurrence of the floated sludge (i.e. the surfaced impurities) on the level of
the secondary settling zone:
- Check the quantity of sludge in the WWTP by sedimentation
test
- If sludge is more than 70 %, remove it. sludge
- If the sludge is less or the result is similar to that shown in
figure, it is probably an over-oxygenation of the nitrification
zone or insufficient sludge recirculation with the air-lift pump
of the return sludge. clear
watter

For the COMFORT/EXCLUSIVE/EXCLUSIVE UV variant:


sludge
- Set the parameter in the P1 mode one level down on the
control unit; if the situation repeats, increase the cleaning
period by changing the code in P3 mode (frequency of
secondary settling tank level cleaning).
Floating substances
OR -Denitrification
- Slightly increase the pumping of return sludge from the
secondary settling tank (= adding more air by turning the
appropriate valve on the air distributor – this will reduce the
retention time of the sludge in the secondary settling tank).

- Always try one procedure first, if this does not result in remedy, try the other
one.

In case of higher occurrence of small flakes in the outlet (turbid outlet)


- In case of higher occurrence of small flakes in the outlet (turbid
outlet)
This condition may appear in the WWTP ripening period when
the sludge is formed by small light-weight flakes. After ripening,
the turbidity at the outlet disappears.
- If this condition occurred in the ripened WWTP it may indicate an turbid
abrupt change in the waste water quality at the inlet (low pH, water
temperature reduction, inlet of toxic substances, increased
frequency of washing) by excessive aeration of the aeration
system when the flakes disintegrate or by excessive sludging of
WWTP (excessive quantity of sludge).
sludge
- Try to identify the cause and rectify it. Measure the pH and
increase its value if necessary, follow the 16.5.3. In the case of
excessive laundering frequency, the water in the wastewater
treatment plant can be felt as “soap”. Reduce laundering and turn
the blower on its maximum for about 1 week (detergents limits Deflocculation
oxygen transfer from air to water). If the WWTP is over-aerated, - Too intensive aeration
reduce the programme by one level for the COMFORT variant. - Deficit of oxygen
- Poisoning of sludge
- If the turbidity at the outlet is permanent, the WWTP is probably
overloaded in a long term.
- The turbidity at the outlet can occur even in the case of insufficient aeration, when the sludge
colour changes from grey to black and the water starts to smell.
- If you are unsure how to fix the problem, contact your service technician or manufacturer.
In case of failure to comply with the guaranteed indicators in the wastewater discharged as
detected during sampling:
- This condition may occur during the period of ripening of the wastewater treatment plant, but
samples should not be taken.
- The cause is probably one of the failures listed above.

 In all cases, wait until the next weekly inspection to see if the treatment plant
operation is improved.
 If the failures have not been rectified, ask for the service intervention.

17.3.1 UV lamp
Failure of the UV lamp or its power supply circuit will result in CIRCUIT BREAKER failure. IN THIS
CASE, SWITCH THE CIRCUIT BREAKER on again. If it trips again it is possible to replace the UV lamp
as described in CHAPTER 20.8.3.

If the failure is not remedied by replacing the UV lamp, do not operate the equipment and
contact ENVI-PUR, s.r.o. or the authorized person.

18 INTERRUPTION AND STOPPING OF OPERATION


18.1 GENERALLY

In the event that no longer wastewater is fed into the reactor (e.g. during long-term holidays or in the
case of seasonal operation), actions must be taken to allow the plant to be put back into operation
without any problems.

18.2 SHORT-TERM SHUTDOWN

Stopping the inlet for a maximum of three weeks (e.g. during a holiday) does not disrupt the treatment
plant operation. While the inlet is stopped, it is recommended:
 For the COMFORT/EXCLUSIVE/EXCLUSIVE UV variant, set the C1 and C2 phase intervals
in P1 mode to code 0 on the control unit. Switch the PAX dosing pump off.

After the inlet is restored, remember to set the original time intervals of the phases
when the blower is on and off.

If the inlet is stopped for a long time, the plant must be shut down.

18.3 COMPLETE SHUTDOWN

In case of complete shutdown, it is necessary to:


 Turn off the power supply completely (switch the circuit breaker off).
 Completely wash out the PAX dosing line with clean water (immerse the suction basket in clean
water and switch the dosing pump on until clean water flows out of the injection valve in the
WWTP, clean the suction basket and injection valve). If the WWTP is shut down in the winter
months, drain all water from the dosing line (remove the suction basket from the water, leave it
in the air and turn on the pump until all the water in the hose is pumped off) then you can turn
the dosing pump off.
 Completely pump the entire reactor off.
 Clean the reactor by rinsing with clean water and drain the water off again.
 Fill the reactor with clean (utility) water.

Upon re-commissioning, the treatment plant must be re-ripened – see chapter 15.

19 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
19.1 GERMICIDAL UV LAMP

The accessories for the BC EXCLUSIVE type of the WWTP

The WWTP can be supplied with a tertiary filter with a treatment for a submersible
germicidal UV lamp, which ensures disinfection of the treated wastewater from a
microbiological point of view. It is put into operation together with WWTP.

The modification requires that the existing power switchboard is replaced with the power
switchboard modified for UV and tertiary filter and that the cables for the UV lamp control
and powering are pulled through.

19.2 OXYGEN PROBE

Accessories for BC COMFORT, EXCLUSIVE, EXCLUSIVE UV wastewater treatment plants

The oxygen probe (oximeter) is used to control the blower operation depending on the actual demand
of oxygen in the nitrification zone. This results in a reduction of blower operation costs as compared to
the control by time intervals as well as in achievement of the ideal conditions of the activation process.
The oxygen probe setting is discussed in Chapter Chyba! Nenalezen zdroj odkazů.. Maintenance
onsists of occasional water spraying – as required. The probe is set up by an authorized person.

19.3 SLUDGE SUMP FOR PUMPING EXCESS SLUDGE

Accessories for BC COMFORT, EXCLUSIVE, EXCLUSIVE UV wastewater treatment plants

If it is necessary to increase the storage capacity of excess sludge and thus to extend the interval of
pumping excess sludge from the treatment plant, the WWTP can be equipped with a sludge sump. The
excess sludge is pumped from the WWTP to the sludge sump using a pump (submersible electric) or
air-lift. Settled sludge is disposed of in accordance with applicable legislation.

19.4 PUMP SUMP

The pump sump is used primarily for balancing the hydraulic load of the WWTP over time (eliminates
the unevenness of the inflow) or the unevenness of the terrain. Consult the authorized person for the
use and maintenance of the pump sump.

19.5 PRE-SEDIMENTATION TANK PRIM

The primary sedimentation tank (hereinafter referred to as PRIM) serves to equalize the hydraulic load
of the WWTP over time (eliminates the unevenness of the inflow). The PRIM tank also serves to reduce
the load of WWTP mainly for COD and suspended solids. It can also be used for retention of excess
sludge from WWTP (so-called sludge removal from the WWTP to a septic tank). In this case, the PRIM
tank can be used partly as a sludge sump.
