1 ISLAND WTP RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

1.1 OVERVIEW

.1 The prime objective of the Island WTP Residuals (Waste Backwash Water) Management System is to improve treatment of filter backwash waste water by

Direct discharging of backwash waste water from filters to the settling tanks;

Treat the flow appropriately to improve settleability by adding a polymer solution and remove chlorine residual by injecting sodium bisulphite (in the future Calcium Thiosulphate);

Accumulate treated backwash waste water in one of the 3 settling basins until it is ready for disposal;

Dispose of supernatant back to Lake Ontario;

Transfer sludge collected in the interim to one of the existing slow sand filter tanks for storage or ultimately to the future sludge dewatering facility when constructed.

.2 Block Diagram

.3 Objectives

Proper collection and treatment of filter backwash waste water, and suitable disposal of supernatant and settled sludge is required to meet requirements of regulatory agencies.

.4 Process Control Strategy

Spent filter backwash water is directed to the duty settling basin by a series of motorized sluice gates. Consecutive backwashes are directed to the duty basin until liquid level in the tank reaches the pre-determined high water level. At that time, the tank is isolated from the system and liquid in the tank is allowed to stratify. The next backwash waste volumes are directed to the next duty settling tank.

Polymer and sodium bisulphite are injected into the backwash waste water stream based on the flow signal from the existing filter backwash flowmeter located downstream from the filters.

After liquid in the isolated tank has stratified supernatant from the tank is directed to Lake Ontario by opening the isolation valve on the supernatant collection header. Quality of discharge is monitored by Chlorine Residual and Total Suspended Solids analyzers located in the Intake Valve Chamber. If supernatant water quality exceeds pre-determined value on any of the parameters, supernatant discharge is terminated. In case of TSS parameter exceeding the pre-determined value the liquid in the tank is allowed to stratify further. If the chlorine residual value exceeds the pre-determined threshold, additional de-chlorination agent will have to be manually added to the tank effected. Supernatant disposal is also terminated when the liquid level in the tank is lowered to the pre-determined level.

When it is determined that the sludge collected is ready for disposal and slow sand filter tank(s) are available, sludge collected in the bottom of the basin is transferred to the tank(s) by the sludge transfer pump. Delivery of sludge to the sludge transfer pumping station is accomplished via automatically opening all three (3) motorized de-sludge valves simultaneously.

The operator decides which of the existing slow sand filter tanks will receive the sludge and makes appropriate system modifications by routing the sludge discharge hose to the selected tank.

When the sludge transfer pump is ready to start, the associated 3-way motorized discharge valve travels from drain to discharge position and the pump is activated. Liquid level in the sludge transfer pumping station is monitored by a level transmitter.

When all the sludge has been transferred or the selected slow sand filter tank is full as confirmed by visual observation, transfer is terminated by turning off the sludge transfer pump and commanding the associated 3-way motorized discharge valve to drain position. This will drain any remaining liquid from the sludge transfer pipe back to the sludge transfer pumping stations.

.5 Influent Sources

Spent water exiting filters after regular backwash sequence, containing impurities collected by the filter media and carrying chlorine residual. Polymer is added to the flow to improve settleability and sodium bisulphite is applied to de-chlorinate the flow.

.6 Effluent Destination

Spent backwash water is collected in the settling tanks and is allowed to stratify into supernatant and sludge constituents prior to disposal.

.1 Supernatant

Supernatant is discharged back to Lake Ontario while its quality (total suspended solids concentration and total chlorine residual) is monitored by on-line analyzers located in the Intake Valve Chamber.

.2 Sludge

Following stratification, sludge collected in the bottom of settling basin will flow via three de-sludge valves to the associated sludge transfer pumping station. The sludge will be then pumped to slow sand filter tank (currently) and residuals management facility (ultimately) for dewatering.

13


.2 Control Logic

.1 Normal Operation

The following will be operator selected/entered at the HMI:

Settling Basin “In-service” or “Out-of-Service”

Settling Basin Fill Sequence

The number of fill cycles to the settling basin. One “fill cycle” is defined as consecutive filter backwashes directed to the duty settling basin until the basin is filled to the selected (at the HMI) high water level

Duty Polymer Skid Sequence

Polymer concentration (in percent)

Polymer dosage, mg/L

Duty Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Analyzer (FIS-WWW-AIT-0001, 0004) Sequence

Duty Chlorine Residual Analyzer (FIS-AIT-0002, 0005) Sequence

The Settling Basin “In-service” or “Out-of-Service” will be operator selected at the HMI.

The inlet sluice gate to the associated Settling Basin will be automatically opened to receive Filter Backwash Wastewater when the basin is “In-service” and is scheduled in sequential order to receive the filter backwash wastewater. When the Settling Basin is not “In-service”, the inlet sluice gate is automatically closed.

Polymer and sodium bisluphite (in the future calcium thiosulphate) are injected into the backwash waste water stream based on the existing filter backwash flow “leaving” the filter.

The settling basin will receive multiple backwashes until the basin is filled to the selected (at HMI) high level. At the basin high level, the inlet sluice gate is automatically closed. The basin contents are then allowed to stratify for “stratification time” (initially set for twenty-four hours (24); adjustable at SCADA HMI from 24 to 72 hours). Once the stratification time is attained, the supernatant from the basin is directed to Lake Ontario by automatically opening the supernatant discharge valve to intermediate position, on the supernatant collection header. The valve intermediate position will be adjustable at the HMI. When the level in the basin is lowered to x.x metres (adjustable at HMI), the supernatant valve is opened fully. Quality of supernatant discharge is monitored by Chlorine Residual and Total Suspended Solids analyzers located in the Intake Valve Chamber. If the supernatant Chlorine Residual High-High Alarm is active after an adjustable time delay at the HMI, the supernatant discharge is terminated and manual introduction of de-chlorination agent to the settling basin is required. Similarly, if the supernatant TSS High-High Alarm is in effect after an adjustable

14


time delay at the HMI, supernatant discharge is terminated and liquid in the basin is allowed to re-stratify further for “stratification time”.

Normally supernatant disposal is terminated when the liquid level in the basin is lowered to the pre-determined level (invert of the supernatant pipe). If more than one fill cycle has been selected, then after successful supernatant discharge, the basin is once again placed into normal rotation with the other basins following a decanting cycle with no desludging. The associated inlet sluice gate will be opened at the appropriate time in anticipation of the next fill cycle.

When the last selected fill cycle is attained and the basin contents have been stratified, the supernatant is discharged as described above. Once the supernatant discharge is complete, a message will be displayed at the HMI that the sludge collected in the settling basin is ready for disposal. Sludge collected at the bottom of the settling basin is transferred to the slow sand filter tank by the sludge transfer pump. Delivery of sludge to the pump well is accomplished via three (3) motorized de-sludge valves.

Once the sludge transfer “start” is manually initiated at the HMI, the 3-way sludge transfer pump discharge valve is commanded to open to “intermediate (discharge) position”, and the three (3) de-sludge valves are also opened to intermediate position (adjustable position set point at the HMI); the duty sludge transfer pump is activated at the “sludge transfer pump start” level set point (adjustable at HMI). Liquid level in the sludge pump well is monitored by a level transmitter (LIT-0502/0702/0902); the signal is also used for transfer pump start and stop control.

When the liquid level in the pump well is lowered to the pre-determined level, the de-sludge valves are fully opened. When the “sludge transfer pump stop” level set point is reached, the sludge transfer pump is stopped, the de-sludge valves are closed, and the 3-way sludge transfer pump discharge valve is commanded to “open” for x minutes (adjustable at HMI). This will drain any remaining liquid from the sludge transfer pipe and the hose back to the pump well. Once “drain” for x minutes is attained, 3-way valve is commanded to close (Note: First close command signal will drive the valve to intermediate position; a second close signal will be required to drive the valve to closed position). The settling basin is now placed back into the normal rotation with the other basins. The associated inlet sluice gate will be opened at the correct time in anticipation of the next backwash.

The volume capacity to receive the Backwash Water in the current duty basin will be continuously calculated. If the next backwash volume is anticipated to exceed the available capacity of the duty settling basin, the aforesaid basin inlet sluice gate will be immediately closed and the inlet sluice gate associated with the next duty basin will be opened. The backwash waste water flow from the current filter will not be split between the two basins.

Polymer Control

When Backwash flow and Backwash pump running status are detected, the polymer skid duty pump will be commanded to start. The polymer feed rate will be flow paced based on the backwash wastewater flow rate “leaving” the filter.

15


The polymer dosage and polymer concentration will be set at the SCADA HMI and transmitted (via 4-20 mA) to each package polymer controller.

The package polymer system controls polymer pump speed and dilution water in order to prepare the correct polymer solution and to deliver the precise dosage to the system.

When the Backwash wastewater flow is not detected and Backwash pump running status is off, the polymer skid duty pump will be commanded to stop.

Polymer feed rate (flow pacing) will be capped at 2200 L/sec of Backwash wastewater flow (adjustable at HMI).

Supernatant Quality Control

The Total Suspended Solids (TSS) analyzer (FIS-WWW-AIT-0001, 0004) duty sequence (Duty 1, Duty 2) will be selectable at the HMI. Similarly the Chlorine Residual analyzer (FIS-WWW-AIT-0002, 0005) duty sequence (Duty 1, Duty 2) will be also selectable at the HMI.

A High alarm will be generated based on measurement by respective analyzer if the High Set Point is exceeded for an adjustable time delay at the HMI.

A High-High alarm will be generated based on measurement by respective analyzer when the High-High Set Point is exceeded for an adjustable time delay at the HMI. In this instance the supernatant discharge is automatically terminated.

On TSS High-High alarm, the liquid in the basin will be allowed to re-stratify for “stratification time”.

.2 Fault Response Operation

PLC Failure: A PLC failure is detected through the absence of a 'heartbeat' signal from the SCADA system to the PLC. Upon PLC failure, a PLC Failed Alarm will be generated within the SCADA system.

Supernatant Outlet Valve Failure: If a supernatant valve fails to position correctly, generate an alarm.

De-sludge Valve(s) Failure: If a de-sludge valve fails to position correctly, generate an alarm.

De-sludge Valve(s) Failure to Open: Stop and prevent Sludge Transfer Pump start.

Sludge Transfer Pump Failure: If the pump fails during start-up, terminate the sludge transfer. If the pump fails during the sludge transfer, terminate the process and automatically drain the forcemain into the Pump Well.

Backwash Flow Meter Failure: If Backwash flow meter fails during the backwash sequence, the polymer feed rate will be maintained at the last (good) reading. Under this condition, the polymer feed will be stopped

16


once the B/W pump is off and after an adjustable (at HMI) time delay. The adjustable time delay will begin once the B/W pump is off.

Duty Polymer Skid Failure: If the duty polymer skid fails to start or fails during operation, the skid duty is automatically switched to the other skid.

Level Transmitter (LIT) Failure in the Settling Basin (prior to Backwash): Isolate the associated Settling Basin by closing the Inlet Sluice Gate. The duty feed automatically switches to the next available basin.

Level Transmitter (LIT) Failure in the Settling Basin during Supernatant Discharge: Continue the supernatant discharge; close supernatant discharge valve after an adjustable (at HMI) time delay. The time delay starts when LIT failure is detected.

Level Transmitter (LIT) Failure in Pump Well during De-sludging: Stop the sludge transfer pump.

TSS Duty Analyzer Failure: If the duty analyzer fails, the analyzer duty is automatically switched to the other unit.

Chlorine Residual Analyzer Failure: If the duty analyzer fails, the analyzer duty is automatically switched to the other unit.
