JTAC Presentation
Pilot Scale Evaluation of AirPrex for Phosphorus
Thursday, April 20th, 2017
Description: Waste sludge from biological phosphorus removal (Bio P) systems has been associated with negative impacts to anaerobic solids digestion and dewatering processes. Ahead of instituting a full plant Bio P process, Metro Wastewater Reclamation District’s Robert W. Hite Treatment Facility conducted an in depth pilot scale investigation of AirPrex™ (CNP Technology Water and Biosolids Corp., Kenosha, WI) as a possible approach to mitigate undesirable effects of Bio P on the RWHTF’s solids treatment and handling processes. Analysis results and subsequent modeling were used to evaluate the technology against five primary criteria: phosphorus recycle control, biosolids dewatering, nuisance struvite reduction, minimization of phosphorus in biosolids for land application, and product recovery.
Speaker: Blair Wisdom, Process Engineer (MWRD)
Directions: From I-25 exit 58th Avenue and turn right (east), turn left onto York Street to head north towards the Robert W. Hite Treatment Facility.
