II. DESCRIPTION OF WASTEWATER

2.1 Nature and Character

Discharge from the project is generally domestic wastewater that comes from the
sanitation requirements of clients and employees, discharge from the tenants of
different activities, and from washing and cleaning around the area.

Domestic wastewater is mainly comprised of water together with relatively small

concentrations of suspended and dissolved organic and inorganic solids. Among the
organic substances present in sewage are carbohydrates, lignin, fats, soaps, synthetic
detergents, proteins and their decomposition products, as well as various natural and
synthetic organic chemicals.

2.2 Chemical and Physical Composition

Based on the available data, the influent wastewater has the following characteristics as
the basis of design for the Sequential Batch Reactor Treatment Process installed for the
project:

2.4 Water Consumption and Discharge

Santiago Water District provides the water requirement of the XentroMall Santiago
Project for their operation, domestic and sanitary purposes. The actual water
consumption is twenty six cubic meters per day (26 m3/d) not yet fully occupied and
operational (Please see attached Water Bills).

Wastewater from the project will generally come from the sanitation requirements of
clients, tenants, and employees, discharge from different units, and from washing and
cleaning around the area.

Building No. 11, Don Onofre Industrial Village, Cabuyao, Laguna
 ENGINEER’S REPORT
XENTROMALL SANTIAGO
SANTIAGO CITY, ISABELA, REGION 2

At present, the average wastewater flow rate is estimated to be twenty five cubic
meters per day (25m3/d), not yet fully occupied and operational, and is treated to
their Sequential Batch Reactor Process Sewage Treatment Plant with a maximum
design capacity of Fifty cubic meters per day (80m3/d).

Note that the total is the consumption of the entire establishment and that the
wastewater discharge varies depending on the daily activities of its tenants and the
volume of consumer per unit.

2.5 Flow Measurement Equipment

No water meter is installed at effluent point.

III. TREATMENT PROCESS DESIGN DESCRIPTION

The Wastewater Treatment Facility uses the Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) Process. It is a
combination of physical, biological, and chemical treatment processes.

The Sewage treatment facility is designed at a capacity of 80m3/day. Influent wastewater is

mostly from the domestic, washing and sanitary sources. It is designed to have 90-98%
removal efficiency.

The Sewage Treatment Facility consists of the following unit operations:

1. SUMP PIT / SCREENING

Raw wastewater from the production lines is collected in this tank. It flows into a bar
screen where coarse materials and large debris are prevented from entering the
wastewater treatment area. These materials may damage the aerobic process and plant
equipment such as pumps, valves, nozzles, channels, sludge removal equipment, hang
over weirs, pipelines and appurtenances. Screening is performed to prevent serious plant
operation and maintenance problems.

2. EQUALIZATION TANK

After the preliminary treatment (screening), the influent water will flow to the
equalization tank. The equalization tank will be used for storing the influent temporarily
and as a preventive measure to protect the effluent quality in extreme storm conditions.
This tank also acts to equalize the flow in terms of organic loading. Mixing will be
provided by air blower through submersed diffusers to prevent occurrence of anaerobic
condition. Then influent will be pumped into the aeration tank.

3. SBR TANK

The pretreated wastewater will now be treated in a biological treatment process. SBR
requires smaller footprints on the site. The tanks are acting as the equivalent of several
components in a single tank such as aeration, secondary clarifier and sludge return
system.

There will be four to six cycle of SBR process per day. Each cycle shall be 4-6 hours, 2-3
hours aeration, 1-2 hour settling and 1 hour decant. The effluent from the wet well shall
be treated in a continuous flow.

The waste water will be fed continuously into the inlet pre-aeration chambers of the SBR
basin and is directed down through openings at the bottom of the baffle wall into the
main aeration chamber. The inlet pre-aeration controls the incoming flow and prevents
short-circuiting and provides the pre-treatment of the waste water before it enters the
main aeration chamber. The same main chamber used for aeration shall be used for
sludge wasting and decanting process.

In the inlet pre-aeration chamber, a high concentration of soluble BOD is available to

microorganisms in a relatively small basin volume which creates a high “Food to
Microorganisms” (F:M) ratio and encourages the maximum bio sorption of food by the
microorganisms. This also acts as a biological selector encouraging the proliferation of
the most desirable organisms and eliminates the growth of filamentous bacteria that
cause sludge bulking and poor settling.

The aeration stage involves the utilization of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and
ammonia nitrogen, where applicable by microorganisms. The length of the aeration
period is two hours and the sludge mass determines the degree of the treatment. This
aeration period will depend on the strength of the raw sewage and the degree of
nitrification provided for treatment. During the settling stage, aeration is stopped and the
sludge settles leaving the clear, treated effluent above the sludge blanket. The duration of
the sludge settling is 60 minutes. During the decanting stage, the process effluent is
removed from the top of the tank through the floating decanter without disturbing the
settled sludge.

Excess sludge is wasted periodically during the SBR operation at the time with the
decanting stage. As with any activated sludge treatment process, sludge wasting is the
main control of effluent quality and microorganism population size. This is how the
operator exerts control over the effluent quality by adjusting the mixed liquor suspended
solids (MLSS) concentration and the Mean Cell Residence time (MCRT).

The SBR chambers have a complete air distribution system using fine bubble diffusers.
Air is supplied from the three-lobe type air blowers through these diffusers to be
installed equidistant at the bottom of the tank. The blower system is designed to provide
sufficient airflow to meet the system process requirements. The blower will be allowed to

operate during aeration phase to mix and oxygenate the wastewater to produce biomass
or sludge. The blower stops after completion of the aeration time and the biomass formed
are allowed to settle to the bottom of the basin leaving a layer of clear water on top based
on the programmed period of time.

The uppermost clear water is discharged from the top of the basin while the basin is
continuously receiving the influent using a rugged, corrosion resistant stainless steel
floating type decanter located on the basin center end opposite from the inlet reaction
chamber. The decanter is parked on the top water level (TWL) during the aeration and
settling phases of the cycle, a scum / sludge exclusion installed to eliminate any
possibility of solids/biomass carryover during these periods and also allow an easy
access and service without the need to enter the basin.

The floating decanter is always under pressure both during aeration and settling as well
as 3-5 minutes before decanting to assume that no solids will carry-over with the treated
water. After the five (5) minutes time, the decanter motorized valve open to continuously
discharge the effluent to the chlorine contact tank while the air solenoid valve from the
finish line will closed. Excess sludge will be removed using non-clog submersible pump
during decant phase to maintain the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) requirement.

The amount of biomass present in the system can be checked by getting the Sludge
Volume Index (SVI). The sludge waste pump run can be adjusted to obtain the average
MLSS and MCRT by adjusting the time of run at the Human Machine Interface (HMI)
mounted on the control panel. The decanted wastewater from the SBR basin shall be
disinfected at the chlorine contact chamber provided with baffles to avoid short-
circuiting of flows with a minimum retention time of 30- 60 minutes of the peak-flow.

The chlorine shall destroy the disease-causing microorganisms. The liquid chlorine with
an appropriate dosage of 5.0mg/li shall be fed automatically and mixed with the effluent
of the SBR basins. Generally, a chlorine residual of 0.5 mg/li. after contact time indicates
effective disinfections. The chlorine dosing system shall be operated automatically by
synchronizing with the decanter operations. The effluent volume will be monitored by a
flow meter and will now proceed to the water re-use treatment plant.

The chlorinated water effluent water from the chlorine contact tank/effluent storage tank
shall be pumped to the filter. The pump shall deliver a pressure and flow sufficient to run
the automatic backwash screen filter even during the backwash mode. The Automatic
backwash filter shall reduce the total suspended solids to 5 mg/l. The screen filter can
reject the total suspended solids particulates larger than 20 microns.

4. CHLORINE CONTACT TANK

Supernatant liquid from the Sedimentation Tank enters the Chlorine Contact chamber.
Liquid is further treated with liquid chlorine to kill pathogenic bacteria still present in the
