DATE: January 11, 2012

1. IntroductionThe Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) commissioned the Preliminary Nutrient Removal Cost Estimates Study to establish an understanding of the economic impacts at the Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant (NSWWTP) to meet potential new nutrient limits. Lower nutrient limits are anticipated because of recent administrative rule revisions and/or the Rock River total maximum daily load, which will require MMSD to reduce their total phosphorus effluent concentrations and loads further. In addition, MMSD is also anticipating future regulations at the state or federal levels addressing nitrogen that will require MMSD to reduce effluent nitrogen. Hence, as a prudent course of regulatory management, MMSD is engaging in this assessment of cost impacts due to potential lower discharge limits for nutrients.

Treatment facility upgrade requirements were evaluated for a range of potential nutrient effluent limits. Evaluating the range of potential nutrient effluent limits will allow MMSD to determine whether there is a “knee of curve” with respect to treatment technologies. Table 1 presents the nine different scenarios covering the range of effluent total phosphorus and total nitrogen effluent limits that were evaluated in this study.

The approach to meeting the primary objectives of this study can be summarized as follows:

1. Develop a list of process alternatives to meet the nutrient limits of each scenario presented in Table 1 and screen them based on pros and cons to select a single alternative for each scenario.

2. Using a process model, determine the required sizes of tanks and process equipment, chemical usage, and other operating requirements to achieve the target effluent phosphorus and nitrogen limits.

3. Estimate capital, operation and maintenance (O&M), and life cycle costs that would result from the implementation of the selected process upgrade for each of the nine nutrient effluent limit scenarios.

2. Facility OverviewAccording to the Master Plan, the NSWWTP has a rated average flow capacity of 57 million gallons per day (MGD) and a peak flow capacity of 140 MGD. The facility is divided into two complexes, East and West, with approximately 45 percent of the flow going to the East and 55 percent of the flow going to the West complex. The liquid treatment process includes preliminary treatment with screening and grit removal, primary clarification, nitrifying activated sludge treatment incorporating biological phosphorus removal, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, excess flow storage, and effluent pumping. The solids treatment process includes primary and waste activated sludge (WAS) thickeners, an acid gas temperature phased anaerobic digestion (TPAD) process designed to produce Class A biosolids, and digested biosolids thickening and dewatering. In addition, the facility is currently installing a struvite harvesting system by Ostara and an associated WAS phosphorus stripping system as part of the 11th addition modifications.

There are fourteen primary clarifiers in the East Complex and five primary clarifiers in the West Complex. The clarifiers are rectangular units with chain and flight sludge removal mechanisms. Settled primary sludge is pumped to gravity thickeners for thickening before being anaerobically digested.

Biological treatment of the primary effluent occurs in the aeration tanks. There are eighteen aeration tanks in the East Complex and twelve in the West Complex. The aeration tanks are configured such that each group of three aeration tanks functions as one three-pass serpentine flow pattern treatment unit. The existing secondary treatment is an enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) system with two process configurations being utilized – the University of Cape Town (UCT) process except without nitrified mixed liquor recycle, which is utilized for the majority of the plant, and the anaerobic/aerobic (A/O) process, which is utilized in a small portion of the East plant. The UCT process consists of anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic zones. Influent wastewater enters the anaerobic zone, and is then combined with recycled mixed liquor from the anoxic zone. Mixed liquor then flows into the anoxic zone where it combines with return activated sludge (RAS) from the secondary clarifiers. The mixed liquor then proceeds into the aerobic zone for further treatment. In the A/O process, the anoxic zone is eliminated and RAS is combined with the influent wastewater in the anaerobic zone. Following the anaerobic zone, the mixed liquor flows to the aerobic zone for EBPR.

Effluent from the aeration tanks flows to circular secondary clarifiers for settling. There are eleven secondary clarifiers in the East Complex and eight in the West Complex. The effluent

from the secondary clarifiers flows to UV disinfection facilities before being discharged either to the Badfish Creek or the Badger Mill Creek.

After the 11th addition modifications, WAS from the secondary clarifiers will be sent to phosphorus release tanks prior to thickening. The thickened WAS is sent to an advanced anaerobic digestion process along with thickened primary sludge, while the filtrate from the WAS thickening will be diverted to a struvite recovery process. Anaerobically digested biosolids will be thickened using gravity belt thickeners or dewatered using centrifuges and then used beneficially for land application (Metrogro) or as a soil amendment in a distribution and marketing program (MetroMix).

Figure 1 shows a simplified process flow diagram of the treatment facility. This diagram includes the phosphorus release tanks and the struvite harvesting system that are currently under construction for the 11 addition modifications. Figure 2 shows a site plan of the existing facility and Table 2 provides a summary of the major existing unit processes at NSWWTP.

3. Nutrient Removal Alternatives Development, Screening and SelectionA nutrient removal alternatives matrix was prepared to capture an array of viable approaches to meet the range of nutrient limits shown in Table 1 (see Appendix A). This matrix considered biological and chemical phosphorus removal approaches, different configurations for biological nitrogen control, and tertiary solids, phosphorus, and nitrogen removal technologies. The alternatives matrix illustrates that there are several strategies for controlling nutrient limits, however, each comes with its pros and cons. The pros and cons, including the ability of the alternative to reliably meet the target effluent nutrient limits were identified for each alternative. Preliminary capital cost estimates were identified for several key unit processes to facilitate comparison of alternatives. A preliminary ranking of the top three treatment alternatives was developed for each treatment limit scenario. CH2M HILL conducted a workshop with MMSD on July 15, 2011 during which the alternatives for each treatment limit scenario were discussed in detail. During the workshop, the preliminary rankings were revised to reflect the consensus of the workshop participants on the top three ranked alternatives for each treatment limit scenario. Although the top three alternatives were ranked, the primary goal of the workshop was to identify the best (i.e., the number 1 ranked) alternative for each treatment scenario for subsequent modeling and detailed cost estimating. The final rankings including those selected as the number 1 ranked alternative for subsequent detailed process modeling and cost estimating are presented in the right column of Appendix A.

4. Data Evaluation and Modeling Process UpgradesThe selected alternatives for meeting the different scenarios of nutrient limits were analyzed using the following stepwise approach:

Step 1. Review, compile, and summarize the unit processes and process performance data provided by NSWWTP.

Step 2. Develop and calibrate a base model of the existing facility with planned 11th addition modifications using the unit process sizing and performance data.

Step 3. Create a process model for each nutrient limit scenario by modify the base model to incorporate unit process additions or upgrades. Each model was run at the design year flows and loads to establish unit process sizing and operating requirements.

Step 4. Develop capital, O&M, and life cycle costs for each upgrade developed in Step 3.

Step 5. Estimate greenhouse gas emissions from the operations of these process upgrades, including additional power and chemical usage, biosolids handling and management, and wastewater treatment.

Step 6. Identify and compare ancillary benefits between the selected alternatives with respect so such things as removal of chemicals of emerging concern (CEC), mercury, and disinfection.

All process modeling for NSWWTP was done using CH2M HILL’s Pro2D whole plant simulator. This tool provided a flexible and robust modeling approach for characterizing, sizing, and predicting treatment plant performance. Pro2D was used to calculate and document all process sizing and operational information related to the evaluation of treatment plant upgrades. The Pro2D activated sludge model uses the International Water Association’s ASM2d model. Because a 20-year planning period from 2015 to 2035 was selected by MMSD, the Pro2D modeling to size facilities was conducted using flow and load estimates for year 2035. MMSD provided the flows and loads for year 2015 and 2035 corresponding to the start and end of the 20-year planning period. Appendix B provides details of the Pro2D models for each scenario including, mass balances. A second model, PClarifier, was used to provide detailed modeling of secondary clarifier performance and capacity using state-point analysis. The sizing and operational information from Pro2D was then input into CH2M HILL’s cost estimating software package, CH2M HILL Parametric Estimating System (CPES) to develop capital, O&M, and life cycle cost estimates for each treatment limit scenario.

Nutrient Upgrade ApproachesThe following paragraphs provide details of the process upgrades that were selected for meeting the nine nutrient effluent limit scenarios presented in Table 1. Because of potential concerns with ferric chloride fouling the UV disinfection quartz sleeves, modeling and cost estimating were based on alum as the metal salt in all nine scenarios.

Scenario 1: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.225 mg/L on a Monthly Average Basis (No Total Nitrogen Limit, Only Existing Ammonia Limits) The effluent limit for this scenario is 0.225 mg/L total phosphorus on a monthly average basis. A target of 0.11 mg/L total phosphorus was selected to achieve the limit reliably. With its existing infrastructure and secondary treatment process configuration, NSWWTP is able to

achieve approximately 0.3 mg/L total phosphorus effluent concentration on average. To meet the target effluent concentration, deep bed granular media filters were selected with a metal salt storage and addition system ahead of it. The filters will provide particulate phosphorus removal from the secondary effluent to achieve the desired nutrient limit. The process modeling for this scenario indicated metal salts would not be required to meet the limit. This is consistent with the fact that current average effluent total phosphorus concentration is only about 0.075 above the limit and about 0.2 above the target. However, experience dictates that a stand-by metal salt addition facility should be constructed, even if not typically needed, to meet this low of a limit reliably. It was assumed that the secondary effluent from the clarifiers will need to be pumped to the filters, thus, a pump station was also selected. In addition, the filtration system included backwash pumps and a backwash equalization basin.

For this study, the secondary effluent pump station and the filtration system was sized to handle a maximum flowrate of 79 MGD based on effluent pumping capacity to Badfish Creek and Badger Mill Creek. At this flowrate, a total of 12 filters (10 active and 2 stand-by), each 5-ft deep with anthracite as the media and an individual area of 1100-sq ft was required. Two active and one stand-by 650 HP pumps were included to pump the secondary effluent to the filters. The metal salt storage facility was sized to receive full tank truck deliveries and to provide 30 days storage capacity. The resulting facility consists of six chemical tanks of 12-ft diameter and 12-ft height with six metering pumps.

Figure 3 presents a simplified process flow diagram for this alternative, with the upgrades indicated in red, and a preliminary layout of the facilities on the site plan is shown in Figure 4.

Scenario 2: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.130 mg/L on a Monthly Average Basis (No Total Nitrogen Limit, Only Existing Ammonia Limits) The effluent limit for this scenario is 0.13 mg/L total phosphorus on a monthly average basis. A target of 0.07 mg/L total phosphorus was selected to achieve the limit reliably. The inclusion of the secondary effluent pump station, the granular media filtration system and the metal salt storage and feed facility as described in Scenario 1 will allow achieving the target effluent total phosphorus concentration. However, the process modeling indicated that continuous addition of metal salts ahead of the filters would be required for this alternative. Since no new process units are added to this scenario, the process flow diagram for this approach will be the same as presented in Figure 3 and the layout will be same as Figure 4. The cost difference compared to Scenario 1 will be additional operation cost associated with chemical addition.

Scenario 3: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.075 mg/L on an Annual Average Basis (No Total Nitrogen Limit, Only Existing Ammonia Limits) The effluent limit for this scenario is 0.075 mg/L total phosphorus on an annual average basis. A target of 0.05 mg/L total phosphorus was selected to achieve the limit reliably. This alternative includes the treatment processes for phosphorus control from Scenarios 1 and 2 and includes a second feed point for metal salt addition, rapid mix system, polymer storage and feed facility, flocculation basin, and lamella clarifiers. . Lamella clarifiers were selected as they are less expensive and have a smaller footprint when compared to conventional tertiary clarifiers. The lamella clarifiers, rapid mix system and the flocculation basins were sized to handle a maximum flowrate of 79 MGD consistent with Scenarios 1 and 2. A plate hydraulic rate of 0.30 gpm/sq-ft was assumed for sizing the clarifiers, which resulted in a total required area of approximately 19,500 sq-ft. Both the rapid mix and the flocculation system consist of four active trains plus a standby train. The trains for the rapid mix system are 62-ft x 39-ft each and the flocculation basin trains are 57-ft x 91-ft each.

Figure 5 provides a simplified process flow diagram of this scenario with the upgrades indicated in red, and a preliminary layout of the facilities is shown in Figure 6.

Scenario 4: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.225 mg/L and Total Nitrogen limit of 10.0 mg/L on a Monthly Average BasisThe effluent limits for this scenario are 0.225 mg/L total phosphorus and 10 mg/L total nitrogen on a monthly average basis. A target of 0.11 mg/L total phosphorus and 7 to 8 mg/L total nitrogen were selected to achieve the limits reliably. The approach taken to meet the total phosphorus limit will be the same as Scenario 1.

In order to meet the 10 mg/L total nitrogen limit, process modeling indicated that modification of the existing secondary treatment process will be sufficient and the addition of extra tank volume will not be required. The combined anoxic volume of the existing modified UCT process in the East and West complex will need to be expanded to 7.35 MG by decreasing the existing aerobic volume. This will be achieved by adding baffle walls and mixers. Mixed liquor recirculation pumps and pipes will need to be added to recycle the nitrate-rich mixed liquor from the last aerobic zone to the anoxic zone for denitrification. The addition of an external carbon source is required to the anoxic zone for denitrification, thus a methanol storage and feed facility was modeled. There are alternative external carbon sources to methanol that could be evaluated should a biological nitrogen removal process be designed for NSWWTP, but methanol was used for modeling and cost estimating because it has been used the most and because modeling of methanol for biological nitrogen removal is well established. Similarly, the existing A/O process will be converted to a modified UCT process by adding an anoxic volume of 0.84 MG from the existing aerobic volume, mixed liquor recirculation pumps and pipes, and a methanol feed system.

Figure 7 provides a simplified process flow diagram of this scenario with the upgrades indicated in red. The preliminary layout of the facilities will be same as shown in Figure 4.

Scenario 5: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.130 mg/L and Total Nitrogen Limit of 10.0 mg/L on a Monthly Average BasisThe effluent limits for this scenario are 0.130 mg/L total phosphorus and 10 mg/L total nitrogen on a monthly average basis. A target of 0.07 mg/L total phosphorus and 7 to 8 mg/L total nitrogen were selected to achieve the limits reliably. The approach for meeting the total phosphorus and nitrogen limits of this scenario combines the upgrades presented for Scenario 2 and Scenario 4 respectively. Since the approach for this scenario is essentially the same as that of Scenario 4 with a minor operational change, the process flow diagram and the preliminary layout will be the same as shown in Figures 7 and 4, respectively.

Scenario 6: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.075 mg/L on an Annual Average Basis and Total Nitrogen Limit of 10.0 mg/L on a Monthly Average BasisThe effluent limits for this scenario are 0.075 mg/L total phosphorus on an annual average basis and 10 mg/L total nitrogen on a monthly average basis. A target of 0.05 mg/L total phosphorus and 7 to 8 mg/L total nitrogen were selected to achieve the limits reliably. The nutrient limits of Scenario 6 will be achieved by combining the process upgrades for total phosphorus control presented in Scenario 3 and the upgrades for total nitrogen control presented in Scenario 4.

A simplified process flow diagram of this scenario is provided in Figure 8 with the upgrades indicated in red and the preliminary layout of the facilities will be same as shown in Figure 6.

Scenario 7: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.225 mg/L and Total Nitrogen Limit of 3 mg/L on a Monthly Average BasisThe effluent limits for this scenario are 0.225 mg/L total phosphorus and 3 mg/L total nitrogen on a monthly average basis. A target of 0.11 mg/L total phosphorus and 2 mg/L total nitrogen was selected to achieve the limits reliably. The approach for meeting a total phosphorus concentration of 0.225 mg/L for this scenario will be the same as Scenario 1.

To meet the low total nitrogen effluent concentration of 3 mg/L, the existing secondary treatment process (both the modified UCT and the A/O process) will need to be modified to a 5-stage Bardenpho process with the addition of new aeration tank volume, mixed liquor recirculation system and a methanol storage and feed facility. In a 5-stage Bardenpho process, the primary effluent is mixed with the RAS in an anaerobic zone for phosphorus release. Following this, the mixed liquor enters an anoxic zone where it is mixed with nitrates recycled from the aerobic zone for denitrification. The mixed liquor then enters the aerobic zone for nitrification, BOD removal, and phosphorus uptake. Following this, the mixed liquor enters a second anoxic zone, where residual nitrate is denitrified. The final stage of the Bardenpho process is a reaeration zone where the nitrogen gas is stripped off and the dissolved oxygen concentration in the mixed liquor is increased to prevent phosphorus from being released in the secondary clarifiers.

Existing anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic zones will need to be modified using new baffle walls and mixers to accommodate the increased anaerobic and anoxic volumes. An additional 4 MG of aeration tank volume will be needed along with mixed liquor recirculation system, and secondary clarification capacity. For the purpose of this study, two treatment tanks were sized with a volume of 2 MG each. Each tank was 215-ft length x 76-ft width x 16.5-ft sidewater depth (SWD). Two blowers of 8,000 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) capacity each were sized to meet the aeration demands. The secondary clarifier was sized at 105-ft diameter. A RAS/WAS pump station was also included. Based on process modeling, an external carbon source will need to be added at both the anoxic zones for denitrification, thus a methanol storage and feed facility was included.

Due to limitations in space availability around the existing aeration tanks, it was decided that the new 4 MG tank and the new clarifier would fit best at a remote location west of the existing MetroGro storage tanks (see Figure 9). To accommodate this, two rectangular primary clarifiers, each of 128-ft length x 30-ft width x 14-ft SWD were also included for this scenario. Costs were also included for yard piping to and from the remote location.

Figure 9 provides a simplified process flow diagram of this scenario with the upgrades indicated in red. A site plan showing the location of the remote facility west of the MetroGro storage tanks with the new primary clarifiers, aeration tanks and secondary clarifier is shown in Figure 10.

Scenario 8: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.130 mg/L and Total Nitrogen Limit of 3 mg/L on a Monthly Average BasisThe effluent limits for this scenario are 0.130 mg/L total phosphorus and 3 mg/L total nitrogen on a monthly average basis. A target of 0.07 mg/L total phosphorus and 2 mg/L total nitrogen was selected to achieve the limits reliably. As an alternative to expanding secondary treatment in a remote location west of the MetroGro Tanks, MMSD selected a different approach for Scenario 8.

The approach for meeting a total phosphorus concentration of 0.130 mg/L for secondary effluent from the modified existing aeration tanks in this scenario will be the same as Scenario 2.

The modifications to the existing aeration tanks to convert them to a 5-stage Bardenpho process for biological phosphorus and nitrogen removal are the same as for Scenario 7.

However, rather than building conventional secondary treatment to provide the additional aeration tank volume required due to the conversion of existing aerobic volume to additional anoxic volume, a new membrane bioreactor (MBR) also configured as a 5-stage Bardenpho process was evaluated. This bioreactor will consist of an anaerobic zone followed by an anoxic, an aerobic, and a post-anoxic zone similar to Scenario 7 but the final aerobic stage will be a membrane tank. A metal salt feed point will be added ahead of the membranes to implement chemical phosphorus removal polishing.

Process modeling indicated that the membrane tank be sized for a maximum month flow of 9.20 MGD with three active and one stand-by air scour blowers at 2,000 scfm each. The bioreactor upstream of the membrane tanks was 140-ft length x 80-ft width x 16.5-ft SWD. It was determined that the existing blower has enough capacity to handle the aeration demands of this new tank.

Figure 11 provides a simplified process flow diagram of this scenario with the upgrades indicated in red. Since the footprint of the MBR is small, it will fit near the existing aeration tanks. Therefore, the MBR is shown in the site plan in Figure 12.

Scenario 9: Total Phosphorus Limit of 0.075 mg/L on an Annual Average Basis and Total Nitrogen Limit of 3 mg/L on a Monthly Average BasisThe effluent limits for this scenario are 0.075 mg/L total phosphorus on an annual average basis and 3 mg/L total nitrogen on a monthly average basis. A target of 0.05 mg/L total phosphorus and 2 mg/L total nitrogen was selected to achieve the limits reliably. The nutrient limits of Scenario 9 will be achieved by combining the process upgrades for total phosphorus control presented in Scenario 3 and the upgrades for total nitrogen control presented in Scenario 7.

Figure 13 provides a simplified process flow diagram of this scenario with the upgrades indicated in red. A site plan showing the location of the remote facility west of the MetroGro storage tanks with the new primary clarifiers, aeration tanks and secondary clarifier is shown in Figure 14.

Modeling Results Discussion The modeling indicated potential interference with enhanced biological phosphorus removal in all scenarios requiring metal salt addition even if the metal salt was dosed to filtration or tertiary clarification downstream of secondary treatment. The potential interference occurred from recycle associated with filter backwash or tertiary clarifier underflow, which contains residual metal salts. Real-world operating experience has demonstrated that there can be a balancing act between maintaining enhanced biological phosphorus removal and chemical phosphorus removal. This experience has indicated that at low chemical doses the two phosphorus removal processes can be maintained; however, at higher metal salt concentrations in the secondary process or at too low of an influent phosphorus concentration to secondary treatment (i.e., from removing too much phosphorus chemically upstream of secondary treatment), enhanced biological phosphorus removal can be lost. Testing would be required to determine whether this is a significant issue for the NSWWTP to meet low effluent phosphorus limits.

The additional anoxic volume required with the 5-stage Bardenpho process to meet the target total nitrogen limit of 3 mg/L resulted in the total solids retention time (SRT) increasing to 15 days. The modeling did not indicate that this negatively affected biological phosphorus removal. However, the modeling did indicate that the second anoxic zone near the end of the aeration tank resulted in some secondary release of phosphorus that was not fully consumed in the final aerobic zone. This resulted in the need for a higher metal salt dose to achieve the target effluent phosphorus concentration. This could exacerbate the potential interference with enhanced biological phosphorus removal noted above.

In addition to requiring more metal salt use, removing phosphorus chemically rather than biologically impacts the Ostara struvite harvesting process by reducing the amount of phosphorus recovered there. A reduction in phosphorus recovered in the Ostara process will result in a commensurate increase in the phosphorus in the Metrogro and Metromix.

The modeling also indicated that filtration was required to reliably meet a total nitrogen effluent limit of 3 mg/L (i.e., for Scenarios 7, 8, and 9). A target of 2 mg/L effluent total nitrogen was assumed in order to reliably meet a total nitrogen effluent limit of 3 mg/L. The modeling indicated that the lowest achievable effluent total nitrogen concentrations with filtration were 2.4 mg/L for Scenario 7, 2.2 mg/L for Scenario 8, and 2.3 mg/L for Scenario 9. Therefore, the target of 2.0 mg/L could not be met, but there was an approximate 0.6 to 0.8 mg/L margin of

safety below an effluent limit of 3 mg/L. Without filtration, the effluent total nitrogen was predicted to be 3.0 mg/L for Scenario 7, 2.8 mg/L for Scenario 8, and 2.6 mg/L for Scenario 9, thereby leaving very little to no margin of safety below an effluent limit of 3 mg/L. Therefore, based on the modeling, filtration was required for all three assumed phosphorus effluent limits and for a 3 mg/L total nitrogen effluent limit. Based on the modeling, which was conducted without specialized influent and effluent characterization, there was approximately 1 mg/L of nonbiodegradable dissolved organic nitrogen. This agrees with the average value determined by University of Wisconsin research work conducted by Dae Wook Kang and Daniel Noguera over a 2-year period. Values varied between 0.7 and 1.2 mg/L, with lower values associated with adding alum for phosphorus removal. If this value were higher than 1 mg/L, then the margin of safety for meeting a 3 mg/L total nitrogen effluent limit would be even less. This indicates the importance of characterizing dissolved organic nitrogen in the NSWWTP, which could impact the ability to meet a 3 mg/L total nitrogen effluent limit.

5. Capital Cost EstimatesThis section discusses the approach and tool used for estimating capital cost and summarizes the capital cost results for implementing the nine scenarios of nutrient control.

Budget-level cost estimates were developed for upgrading NSWWTP with the above mentioned process alternatives to meet the nine different scenarios of nutrient limits shown in Table 1. The following markups were used to estimate capital costs for each scenario:

Contractor overhead: 10 percent of the construction cost Contractor profits: 5 percent of the construction cost Contractor mobilization, bonds, and insurance: 5 percent of the construction cost Contingency: 25 percent

All estimates were prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering International. The estimates are defined as Class 4 estimates.

Conceptual-level cost estimates were prepared from each scenario using CPES. CPES is a proprietary tool developed by CH2M HILL, capable of producing parametric facility designs. The tool allows users to select modules such as a pump station, an aeration tank, or a clarifier and input details or design criteria. Design criteria can vary from flow or loading rates to the desired days of storage, diameter, and number of chemical storage tanks. In the case of items such as the aeration tanks and clarifiers, the basic volumes or surface areas determined from the Pro2D modeling are further defined to detail out tank dimensions. Once all pertinent design criteria have been entered into CPES, material quantities and facility dimensions are calculated. The calculations include estimates of wall thickness, slab thickness, and unit process or building footprints to develop quantities of such things as concrete and excavation. All materials, equipment, and construction activities required to estimate costs are included. Material costs are applied to the estimated quantities. The material costs are updated in CPES at least once a year. Costs are escalated to a user-defined date based on historical cost trends. For the MMSD project, the costs were escalated from the last material cost update to December 31, 2011.

Table 3 presents a summary of the major facility upgrade components identified for meeting the nine nutrient control scenarios. Table 4 presents a summary of the capital cost estimate for each scenario. Detailed breakdown of the capital costs for each scenario is provided in Appendix C.

6. O&M and Life Cycle Cost EstimatesThe O&M and life cycle costs associated with the selected process upgrades for meeting each scenario of nutrient control were also generated using CPES. The life cycle module imports data from the parametric facility design and capital cost modules to produce a summary of costs and resource consumption associated with the O&M of the proposed facility. Resource consumption such as energy, fuel, chemicals, and replacement of consumable materials are calculated on an annual basis within the life cycle tool. This is also used to quantify the carbon footprint associated with O&M activities at the facility.

In order to approximate the average life cycle costs, Pro2D model runs and CPES calculations were conducted using the flows and loads at the midpoint of the 20-year planning period to determine electrical demand, chemical usage, and solids production. Because a planning period of years 2015 to 2035 was selected by MMSD year 2025 was the midpoint. Because the purpose of the study was to determine the net effect of meeting stricter nutrient limits, a Pro2D model run was conducted for a base case condition representing the NSWWTP after the 11th Addition in addition to a model run for each scenario. The net difference versus the base case was then used to estimate the incremental O&M costs for each scenario. O&M cost estimates for each upgrades included the following components:

Labor Power costs for the major mechanized process equipments and buildings Chemical consumption costs: metal salt, methanol and polymer Biosolids processing Maintenance and repair of major mechanized process equipments

Table 5 provides the unit costs and other inputs that were used to estimate the O&M and life cycle cost.

7. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from operating the selected process upgrades for meeting the nine scenarios of nutrient limits were calculated using the GHG calculation module, also developed by CH2M HILL. The GHG emission estimates represent the increase over baseline emissions from the existing NSWWTP with planned 11th addition modifications. Both the parametric facility design and life cycle analysis modules in CPES (explained in previous sections) are linked to the GHG calculation module. Thus, the values obtained from the parametric facility design and life cycle modules are directly imported into the GHG module so that emissions from O&M can be quantified. As described for the O&M cost estimating, the GHG emission estimates represent the net increase associated with the nutrient limit scenarios and not the total NSWWTP GHG emissions. GHG emissions from the following sources were estimated for operating the facility:

Power usage Chemical production and transportation Biosolids hauling and land application Process emissions from wastewater treatment

As with the O&M cost estimates, GHG estimates are based on year 2025 because this is the midpoint, which approximates the average, of the selected 20-year planning period. In order to compare emissions from different sources, all emissions were converted to carbon dioxide equivalents or CO2e because this is an international standard. The two factors below in Table 16 are the global warming potentials (GWP) for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). By multiplying each gas by its GWP, that gas was converted to CO2e.

Both direct and indirect emissions as well as optional indirect emissions were estimated. Direct emissions are GHG sources that the entity directly owns or controls. These emissions are put into four categories: stationary combustion, mobile combustion, process-related, and fugitive emissions. Indirect emissions are a result of the purchase and consumption of electricity. Although these emissions are outside the organization’s boundary, most reporting protocols require quantification of these emissions in order to provide incentives for energy efficiency and conservation. All transportation associated with hauling and delivery of materials is categorized as optional indirect emissions.

Table 17 describes the emission factors for mobile combustion emissions that were used for this study.

The purchase of electricity must be considered when accounting for the GHG emissions of a facility under most globally accepted reporting protocols. To determine the total CO2e from the purchase of electricity, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) eGRID data that averages emission factors for 26 sub regions across the United States were used. Table 18 presents the emission factors used in this study.

Table 19 provides a summary of the net increase in GHG emissions associated with operations to meet the nine nutrient limit scenarios.

It should be noted that although Scenario 1, 4 and 7 have the same total phosphorus limits, the higher SRT required for meeting the total nitrogen limits while minimizing additional aeration tank volume resulted in a model prediction of no net increase in solids production versus the base case. This is why the estimated GHG emissions from biosolids transportation and land application are noted as zero for Scenarios 4 and 7 and why they are lower in Scenarios 5, 6, 8, and 9 compared to Scenarios 2 and 3.

8. Ancillary Benefits Comparison between Scenarios The removal efficiencies of CECs during wastewater treatment are complex. More than 85,000 compounds with highly diverse physical-chemical characteristics (i.e., polarity, molecular weight, solubility, pKa, etc.) were identified as CECs (Snyder et.al. 2007). Physical-chemical properties of CECs were found as the main factor that dictates their removal efficiencies. Complete physical-chemical properties of most CECs are unfortunately unknown which makes evaluating the fate of most CECs during wastewater treatment a difficult task. Recent research has focused on 50 to 80 CECs that are frequently detected in wastewater effluents with known physical-chemical properties. Because Henry’s coefficient is relatively low for nearly all CECs, volatilization has very little or no impact for the removal of the CECs. Recent research indicates that two major mechanisms play key roles for the removal of the CECs during activated sludge treatment.

1. Biodegradation/biotransformation 2. Sorption/adsorption

Biodegradation/BiotransformationBecause CECs usually are insufficient in concentration (as low as few ng/L), to provide a primary substrate for the growth of microorganisms, CECs are cometabolized. SRT and temperature are the primary parameters that influence biodegradation of the CECs. Studies have shown that activated sludge systems with longer SRTs (i.e., more than 8 days) remove greater amounts of CECs than at shorter SRT (i.e., less than 2 days) (Ternes and Joss, 2006). Increased CEC removal efficiencies were observed as SRT increased from 1 day to 12 days. Between 12 days and 25 days SRT, the removal efficiencies of the majority of CECs were unchanged but slight improvements were observed on removal efficiencies of slowly biodegradable compounds such as TCEP and musk ketone (Stephenson and Oppenheimer (2007).

In another study, a clear relationship was not found between CEC removal and SRT, but one facility having the longest SRT and employing nitrification and denitrification, as well as

Page 43: TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant Preliminary Nutrient ... · 2014-05-23 · 1 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant Preliminary

NSWWTP PRELIMINARY NUTRIENT REMOVAL COST ESTIMATES

43

biological phosphorus removal, achieved the highest removal of EDCs among all the plants (Drewes et al., 2006). Nitrifying bacteria can transform ethynylestradiol into daughter compounds due to the cometabolic activity of ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) that can concurrently degrade ethynylestradiol and ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N) (Yi and Harper, 2007). Since nitrifiers are slow-growing autotrophic bacteria, this finding might support the benefit of long SRTs on the removal of CECs in the activated sludge system.

In this evaluation, Scenarios 1 through 3 provide a total SRT of 10 to 11 days and Scenarios 4 through 9 provide a total SRT of 15 days to achieve biological nitrogen removal. The SRT is adequate to effectively remove biodegradable CECs (i.e., acetaminophen, DEET, 17- alpha-estradiol) in all nine scenarios. Because the SRT values are very similar to current operation for Scenarios 1 through 3, Scenarios 1 through 3 would not be expected to biodegrade more CECs than current conditions. On the other hand, longer SRTs (15 days) employed in Scenarios 4 through 9 are expected to enhance removal of slowly biodegradable CECs (i.e., TECP, triclosan, etc.) compared with current operating conditions and Scenarios 1 through 3.

Certain CECs (i.e., sulfamethoxazole, diclofenac, and propyphenazone) can be effectively removed under anaerobic/anoxic conditions compared with fully aerobic conditions (Grady et al. 1999, Williams et al. 2009, Hai et al. 2011). Diverse redox conditions (oxic to anoxic) maintained in riverbank filtration studies improved the removal efficiencies for tested CECs (Drewes et al. 2009). Incorporating anoxic zones to meet a TN limit is expected to improve CEC removal efficiencies (Scenarios 4 through 9). Scenarios 7 through 9 utilize a two stage anoxic process with methanol addition to meet a stringent effluent TN limit of 3 mg/L. Increased anoxic SRT might provide an additional means for transformation and removal of CECs that are better removed in anoxic conditions. Sorption/AdsorptionCECs with a high octonal water partition coefficient (log Kow greater than 3) (i.e., 17-a estradiol, 17b-estradiol, fluoxetine, gemfibrozil) can be adsorbed by the MLSS sludge and can be removed during solids removal processes (i.e., sedimentation and filtration). Takigami et al., 2000 showed that sorption of CECs on colloidal organic material was important for removal of hormones using a conventional-activated sludge system. Takigami reported that hormones can be adsorbed onto biosolids, as the primary removal mechanism, with the 17b-estradiol concentration of the biosolids being three orders of magnitude greater than the secondary effluent concentration. However, the operating SRT was relatively short (as low as 2 days) thereby minimizing the biodegradation/biotransformation removal mechanism. Most naturally occurring hormones can be removed efficiently (that is, 90 percent or higher) using conventional-activated sludge and MBR systems (Holbrook et al, 2002). Because the highest estrogenic activity was found in the digested biosolids, it is suggested that these compounds sorb to suspended solids before significant biodegradation occurs (Holbrook et al., 2002. Holbrook et.al. also reported higher removal of diclofenac, indomethacin, and some other acidic PhACs (clofibric acid, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and gemfibrozil) during conventional-activated sludge and MBR treatment in acidic operating conditions. It was postulated that this was due to their increased hydrophobicity at acidic pH which resulted in adsorption of these compounds on to the sludge particles.

The literature concured that MBR and conventional-activated sludge systems operated under identical SRT and temperature perform similarly for removal of majority of trace contaminants (WERF, 2011). Conversely, it was found that CECs with a high octanol-water partition

Page 44: TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant Preliminary Nutrient ... · 2014-05-23 · 1 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant Preliminary

NSWWTP PRELIMINARY NUTRIENT REMOVAL COST ESTIMATES

44

coefficient (log Kow greater than 3 to 5) (i.e., 17-a estradiol, 17b-estradiol, fluoxetine, and gemfibrozil) (Holbrook et al., 2002; Mansell et al., 2005, Erdal et.al. 2009) can be more effectively removed in MBR systems than conventional-activated sludge systems. Conventional-activated sludge systems select for microorganisms that are well flocculated. MBRs, on the other hand, retain all microorganisms and small flocs regardless of their settling properties. Therefore, MBRs generate smaller flocs. Additionally, MBR flocs are subjected to erosion because of a higher MLSS concentration and increased shear (Schwarz et al. 2006). The smaller floc sizes and particle diameters in MBRs enhance adsorption of hydrophobic compounds (reflected in high Kow) onto MBR MLSS. Because membranes used in MBR systems are very effective barriers to the particles, the trace contaminants adsorbed by the MLSS can be effectively removed in the MBR systems. This explains why MBR exhibits better removal efficiencies than conventional-activated sludge for the removal of hydrophobic compounds (i.e., fluoxetine, Triclosan) under identical SRTs.

Activated sludge systems are generally very ineffective for removal of CECs that are nonbiodegradable and having logKow (less than 1) such as Diclofenac, Iopromide, X-ray contrast media.

In Scenario 8, a small portion of wastewater is treated through MBR, which will enhance removal of hydrophobic CECs (log Kow greater than 3), such as 17-alpha estradiol, 17-beta-estradiol, fluoxetine, and gemfibrozil. The research conducted by Snyder et al. (2007) has shown that coagulation, flocculation, and settling contribute removal of CECs with high log Kow and high dipole moment and zeta potential due to sorption to particles and electrostatic interaction. Scenarios 3, 6, and 9 incorporate coagulation, flocculation, and settling that might enhance removal of certain CECs (log Kow>3 ). In addition, coagulation, flocculation, and settling enhance removal of many metals, including mercury.

All nine scenarios have UV disinfection, which has been found to be ineffective for the removal of most CECs at typical disinfection doses (i.e., 100 mJ/cm2 or less) used in wastewater applications (Snyder, 2007). Therefore, very little or no impact of UV disinfection on the CEC removal is expected. The literature shows that UV disinfection is able to remove compounds (i.e., nitrosamines) with high photocathalitic-oxidation capability. This is not likely relevant at the NSWWTP because none of the process scenarios can generate nitrosamines, which are disinfection byproducts that occur when chlorine reacts with ammonia containing compounds.

A secondary benefit of membrane filtration, evaluated for Scenario 8 but equally applicable if membranes were used for Scenario 7 and 9, is improved removal of pathogens. Fecal coliform counts may be 10 to 20 for membranes without disinfection. Although membrane pores are not small enough to remove viruses, viruses tend to adhere to solids and therefore only the percent that are free floating would be small enough to pass through. In addition to free-floating viruses passing through membrane pores, it is possible for membrane integrity to be compromised due to factors such as fiber breakage or O-ring leakage. To provide a secondary barrier against pathogens, typically one would still have to disinfect unless it could be proven to the regulator through analyses that disinfection is not needed.

A

Add a mixed liquor recirculation system to transfer nitrified mixed liquor from end of aerobic zone to anoxic zones. Increase anoxic zones if necessary and add external carbon source to the existing anoxic zones if carbon limited. Add additional tanks as necessary for lost aerobic volume.

1. Expected to reliably achieve effluent target TN concentration (will be confirmed with modeling if selected).2. Relatively simple and proven unit process for TN removal.3. Used in many wastewater treatment plants. 4. Minimal new infrastructure.5. Minimal modifications required to the existing facility.6. Relatively low capital cost investment.7. Denitrification in the activated sludge process recovers alkalinity and reduces oxygen demand in subsequent aerobic zones.

1. If additional anoxic volume is required then plant capacity will decrease due to lost aerobic volume. 2. If external carbon source is required, additional chemical storage and feed system to operate and maintain.3. If external carbon source is required, will result in increased O&M costs.4. If external carbon source is required, requires accurate control systems for dosing carbon. 5. Additional mixed liquor recirculation pumping cost.

1

B

Add a mixed liquor recirculation system to transfer nitrified mixed liquor from end of aerobic zone to anoxic zones. Convert part of the existing aerobic basin volume to anoxic zone and convert part of the remaining aerobic basin volume to an aerated IFAS system to offset lost aerobic volume. The IFAS zones would be in the middle third or further downstream because preferable to be downstream of soluble BOD uptake. Add external carbon source to the anoxic zones if carbon limited.

1. Same advantages as 4A except added capital cost for IFAS.2. Maintains plant capacity by offsetting additional anoxic volume (if required) with IFAS in aerobic zones.3. Additional IFAS media can be added and additional portions of aerobic volume converted to IFAS to increase plant capacity as loads increase to the plant.

1. IFAS will increase capital cost.2. IFAS will require compartmentalizing part of aerobic volume. 3. IFAS addition to long plug flow reactors may require reconfiguring flow pattern from lengthwise to crosswise in IFAS zones to not exceed allowable cross sectional velocity. 4. IFAS zones typically operated at D.O. of 4-6 mg/L because it is a fixed film process that is diffusion limited thereby reducing oxygen transfer efficiency = higher electric cost. 5. Proven large scale IFAS systems use medium to coarse bubble diffusers (must be robust since buried in IFAS media when tank drained) thereby reducing oxygen transfer efficiency = higher electric cost.

E

Retrofit the existing basin configuration for step feeding with anoxic zones at each step feed point to increase the inventory in the existing basins to get the added anoxic SRT without needing additional tank volume. Add external carbon source to the anoxic zones if carbon limited.

1. Expected to reliably achieve effluent target TN concentration (will be confirmed with modeling if selected).2. Maintains plant capacity with step feed by increasing mixed liquor inventory without increasing solids loading rate to secondary clarifiers.3. Step feed is used in many wastewater treatment plants.4. Eliminates need for mixed liquor recycle. 5. Denitrification in the activated sludge process recovers alkalinity and reduces oxygen demand in subsequent aerobic zones.6. Can increase biomass inventory by 25% to 33% thereby eliminating need for additional tanks.

1. Requires primary effluent piping modifications if existing facilities do not have step feed capabilities. 2. Requires additional anoxic and anaerobic zones at new step feed points. 3. If external carbon source is required, additional chemical storage and feed system to operate and maintain.4. If external carbon source is required, will result in increased O&M costs.5. If external carbon source is required, requires accurate control systems for dosing carbon.

F

Add anoxic zone downstream of main nitrification zone, with small downstream aerobic zone, and feed supplemental carbon source such as methanol. Add additional tanks as necessary for lost aerobic volume.

1. May require less total anoxic volume than Option 4A. 2. May eliminate need for mixed liquor recycle.3. If modeling indicates this option is not sufficient to meet target effluent TN concentration then could be used in conjunction with 4A but potentially with a lower mixed liquor recycle rate and less total anoxic volume.

1. Plant capacity will decrease due to lost aerobic volume.2. External carbon source requires additional chemical storage and feed system to operate and maintain.3. External carbon source will result in increased O&M costs.4. External carbon source requires accurate control systems for dosing carbon. 5. If mixed liquor recycle is required, additional pumping cost (but possibly less than Option 4A).

2

G

Implement nitrogen removal such as Anammox® on thickening and dewatering filtrate/centrate recycle. Under construction at Alexandria, VA.

1. Small footprint2. Less energy consumption3. Does not require external carbon source4. Reduces TN loading to secondary treatment process5. Can be used in combination with other options. 6. Reduced ammonia recycle will increase reliability of meeting TN limit, potentially reduce average effluent TN, reduce aeration cost, and reduce alkalinity consumption.

1. Relatively new process. 2. A sensitive process and can be subject to upsets.3. Requires seeding of Anammox bacteria, otherwise startup is extremely slow4. Not needed to meet TN limit.

(Note 5)

H

Add a treatment wetland 1. Low energy and external chemical requirement2. Natural treatment process3. Aesthetically pleasing.4. Can provide ancillary benefits to native wildlife habitats, such as birds.

1. Requires large footprint. 10-20 or 30 acres/MGD. 80 MGD = 1600 acres.
