General Supervisors Requirements

3.1.1 Introduction

The General Supervisor's Requirements presented herein define the Works, i.e. ”Central Waste Water Treatment Plant (CWWTP) for Kula and Vrbas”, specify the purpose of the Works and par-ticular requirements for the completed Works, including functional requirements, quality, perform-ance and scope, requirements for the supply of certain items (such as consumables), special ob-ligations and other details, generally in accordance with the Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design Build (P&DB), PRAG.

The construction of a Central Wastewater Treatment Plant for Vrbas and Kula presents a continu-ation of numerous Engineering activities and efforts with a common goal, to ensure a contempor-ary wastewater treatment plant in line with European standards and implementation of the overall strategy for rehabilitation of the “Veliki Backi kanal”. Currently untreated sewage is discarhed and consequently water quality in the recipient channels has greatly deteriorated, with siltation and eutrophication. In addition, the channel water has high concentrations of ammonia, organic mat-ter, heavy metals and other toxic substances from industrial effluents.

It is proposed that the future treatment plant would treat municipal and pre-treated industrial wastewater and discharge the effluent into the Becej-Bogojevo channel (part of the DTD hydro system).

Recent technical documentation dealing with the aforementioned issues includes the General Design of WWTP Vrbas and Kula prepared by University of Belgrade – Faculty of Civil Engineer-ing (2005-2006), Feasibility Study Vrbas – Wastewater Treatment and Sewage Collection by MI-ASP-Royal Haskoning (2007) and Preliminary Design of Wastewater Treatment Plant Vrbas and Kula prepared by the Faculty of Technical Science in Novi Sad (2008-2009). Significant social and economic changes in the past 20 years called for updating of wastewater quantity and quality analysis as well as treatment process elaboration in accordance with the EU standards and best practices.

The industrial wastewater will be collected after pre-treatment, and transported via a trunk sewer and sewage pumping stations to the CWWTP location. The main sewer varies in size from DN600 to DN1200, its total length is around 12 km. The section from Vrbas to the future CWWTP location has been constructed with DN1200.

The effluent from the CWWTP shall be transported by a new discharge pipeline, length around 570m to the Becej-Bogojevo channel.

*- In case that the Preliminary Design prepared by the Contractor deviates considerably from the technical

solution presented in the tender (which is generally in accordance with the existing Preliminary Design), the

Contractor’s Preliminary Design may be subject to new review and approval by the National competent au-

thorities (in accordance with the Law on Planning and Construction). In that case extra time (estimated at 1

month) needed for new review, approval and permitting processes should be taken into account by the

Contractor.

The pre-commissioning tests (test period) will be carried out in accordance to Sub-clause 3.1.11.2 when all civil, mechanical, and electrical and control components and functions are fin-ished, tested dry, found in compliance with the contract conditions.

The commissioning tests will be carried out in accordance to Sub-clause 3.1.11.3 when all civil, mechanical, and electrical and control components and functions tested wet, found in compliance with the contract conditions.

The trial operation and commissioning shall be made in two steps: one for water treatment, and the other for sludge treatment facilities. It will consist in the time where the biological process will develop itself, where all process parameters will be adjusted. This period will be finished after the completion test, which is a 7 days observation of plant running with the analysis of all parameters once a day.

After the completion test for wastewater treatment is validated, the trial period for sludge treat-ment facilities shall start. It takes place in the period of adjustment of all process parameters. This period will be finished after the completion test, which is a 7 days observation of plant running with the analysis of all parameters once a day.

After approval of Supervisor, the plant can be formally handed over to Beneficiary.. The provi-sional work programme is shown on the next page.

3.1.14.3 Site Testing of Aeration Equipment

The following test procedure shall be applied for the performance tests on the aeration systems for each aeration basin, in accordance to DWA/ATV M209:

1) Each of the roots blowers for compressed air supply shall be temporarily tested with its own gearbox and motor to determine that the aeration capacity, the oxygenation capa-city (OC) and the oxygen transfer efficiency (ON) of each system complies with the Technical Requirements and as given in the Schedule of Particulars with the absorbed power not exceeding 85 % of the rating at 50°C ambient temperature. In case a different aeration system is selected, an adequate testing procedure must be foreseen.

2) For each test three measuring points shall be provided, located in accordance to the ex-pected flow. The oxygen intake curves of each measuring point shall be recorded by re-cording instruments. Before assembling the oxygen electrodes shall be faithfully calib-rated above the zero and the saturation value. The calibration shall occur with the use of the connected recording instruments.

3) Before each series of tests is carried out with a fresh filling of water, cobalt salt shall be added to the test tank water to give a concentration of 0.5 mg/l cobalt ion to catalyse the reaction between sulphite ions and dissolved oxygen. The maximum salt concentration shall not exceed 2.0 mg/l.

Page 90: Volume 3 Sec 1 General Requirements

Central Waste Water Treatment Plant – Kula and Vrbas Tender DocumentsVolume III – Section 1 (General Requirements)

4) Before starting each test it shall be ensured that the motors and gears have reached op-erating temperature and a constant water temperature is provided.

5) Before each test a solution of sodium sulphite shall be added to the water at a point close to and preferably under the aerator to remove dissolved oxygen from the whole of the test water.

6) Aeration shall take place until oxygen growth is less than 0.2 mg/l during a 10 minute period. The temperature of water shall be measured with a laboratory thermometer and shall be recorded.

7) Out of the recorded oxygen content, values shall be taken in equal temporary steps of 0.1 to 1 minute. A minimum of 50 values shall be taken.

8) The test results shall be determined separately for each measurement point as follows:

a) LegendCS mg/l Oxygen saturation value reached during the testCSS20 mg/l Oxygen saturation value (9.17) at 20°C under normal conditionsCt mg/l Oxygen content at time tDt mg/l Oxygen saturation deficit at time tKT h Aeration parameter at water temperature TK20 h Aeration parameter at 20°C

OC20 gO2/m³/h Oxygen intake under normal conditionsON20 kgO2/kWh Oxygen transfer efficiencyP kWPower intake of aeratorsT °C Temperature of the waterV m³ Volume of the test tankt h time for a deficit decimal step

b) The oxygen saturation deficits at time t (Dt) shall be calculated as the difference between the oxygen saturation value reached during the test (CS) and the oxygen content at time t (Ct)

Dt = CS - Ct

d) The deficits shall be plotted in floating point notation in accordance with the time. If the plotted points do not result in a straight line, the saturation value shall be corrected until the line be-comes straight.

e) The median temperature (T) of the temperatures measured during the test, which shall not oscil-late more than 1°C, the aeration parameters for 20°C (K20) and the one during the test (KT) will allow the calculation of a correction factor for the temperature.

f) The standardised oxygen input under standard conditions (OC20) shall be calculated by the

aeration parameters during the test (KT), the oxygen saturation value at 20°C under standard conditions

g) The average power intake of the aerator (P) shall be calculated from the various readings and the oxygen transfer efficiency will result under consideration of the tank volume (V)

Page 91: Volume 3 Sec 1 General Requirements

Central Waste Water Treatment Plant – Kula and Vrbas Tender DocumentsVolume III – Section 1 (General Requirements)

Velocities shall be measured across the floor tank in the direction of the maximum velocity by an integrating velocity meter. Measurements shall be made 1.0 m from the wall, midway between the wall and operator, and as close to the aerator as practicable. The average velocity at any point 380 mm above floor level shall reach 0.30 m/s in any direction.

If surface aerators are installed alternatively to diffused air aeration the a.m. test procedure shall be modified, accordingly. The Contractor shall submit a Method Statement for the approval of the Supervisor.

Therefore each of the surface aerators shall be temporarily tested with its own gearbox and mo-tor to determine that the oxygenation capacity (OC) and the oxygen transfer efficiency (ON) of each aerator complies with the Technical Requirements and as given in the Schedule of Partic-ulars with the absorbed power not exceeding 85 % of the rating at 50°C ambient temperature. In case a different aeration system is selected, an adequate testing procedure must be foreseen.
