Quality Recycling has teamed with RCBC Technologies to provide the perfect culmination to the MRF. RCBC Technologies has com-bined well-known and time-tested principles to create a rotating cylindrical combustion chamber that uses patented Rotary CascadingBed Combustion (RCBC) technology. The RCBC provides the ideal conditions for clean combustion of diverse fuels, ranging fromhigh sulfur coals to municipal solid wastes and sludge. A MRF and the RCBC combined produce the ultimate waste to energy plant.These waste to energy plants burn municipal wastes to produce steam and electricity. This energy is produced with less harmfulemissions than the conventional fossil-fuel powered energy plants.

There are other outstanding advantages to the waste to energy technology:

• RCBC reduces waste volume up to 90% and the end product is an ash that can be combined with compost from the MRF and used for soil conditioning and land reclamation.

• Combustion in the RCBC destroys bacteria, household chemical and other compounds that are a potential hazard to health and environment. These once harmful components of the waste stream are converted to a useful product that can actually help our environment.

• Combustion eliminates the odor and methane normally produced by waste, and can completely eliminate the need for a landfill.

Quality Recycling is the exclusive distributor of the patented RCBC technology. The RCBC isnot only more efficient than other combustors, but can be produced at about 1/3 their cost.

Comment by Tom Davey

A pure lake makes cottage lots worth millions – polluted lakes see drastic losses in real estate values.

Canada’s environmental ranking needs to improve

Mr. Coad notes that, while sizeand industrial structure are con-tributing factors, Canada is not tak-ing the necessary steps towardenvironmental sustainability. Cana-dians stand almost at the bottom ofthe pack on environmental per-formance, along with the UnitedStates and Australia – three coun-tries with huge land masses, yetamong the most resource-intensiveeconomies in the OECD.The Nordic countries – Sweden,

Finland, Norway – and Switzerland,not only earned A grades, but wereamong the best performers in al-most all categories. They scoredwell on air quality, water quality,and GHG emissions, lagging onlyin certain measures related to bio-diversity and energy intensity.Canada, with its huge land mass,

thousands of lakes and rivers, andengineering expertise in all the dis-ciplines related to drinking watersupplies, wastewater treatment andinfrastructure, should now add polit-ical will and funding to these assets.

though we have unlimited supplies.Canada’s past record on greenhousegas emissions (GHG) is terrible.”But, he says, encouragingly, that“we are among the world leaders inmanaging our forests, our air qual-ity is good overall, and we havemade progress on using energy effi-ciently.”Per capita, Canada’s GHG emis-

sions increased by almost one thirdbetween 1990 and 2006. Encourag-ingly, initiatives that are either pro-posed or underway, such as carbontaxes, emission caps and emissionstrading, could lead to an improvedscore in future years.On the downside, Canada is said

to generate more waste per capitathan any other OECD (Organisationfor Economic Co-operation andDevelopment) country. Environ-mental leaders in this category areJapan, Belgium, and Finland, gen-erating only 50 to 60 percent asmuch solid waste as Canadians.The report says that Canada’s

water usage per capita is higherthan any country except the UnitedStates. While Canadian water qual-ity ranks well, the overall B gradein water quality obscures problemareas along the Canada-US border.

Canada’s abundant fresh-water resources are ex-ceeded only by Russiaand Brazil, yet, regret-

tably, our environmental recordstands 13th out of 17 developedcountries. A report: How CanadaPerforms: Environment Details andAnalysis, was released by TheConference Board of Canada inNovember (www. conference-board.ca/hcp).Personally, I am incredulous at

these statements which are so criti-cal of Canada’s record, but the Con-ference Board has a good reputation.The Board’s data will shock

complacent provincial and federalpoliticians who control environ-mental funding and regulatory ini-tiatives. The overall C grade reflectsa poor performance and Canada hasearned D grades in the areas ofwaste generation, water usage, andgreenhouse gas emissions. This isdespite faring better than averageon other measures of environmentalperformance.Len Coad, Director, Environ-

ment, Energy and Transportationfor the Conference Board, notesthat “Canadians generate far toomuch waste and still use water as

Hi TomI read your latest commentary and en-joyed the read laced with history. Yourpen remains a stiletto, and at the sametime the teacher’s voice.

A. Grant Lee,AGL Marketing Limited

Hello Tom,As Maintenance Engineer in a Pulp Milland one who has a general interest in sci-ence, I find your magazine extemely in-teresting. And of all the magazines I'mexposed to, I find your comments to besome of the consistently most insightfulof all.

I just can't help comment on your re-cent article on the horrors of living in so-cieties that lack technology and theimprovements that it gives us in hygieneand medicine. I'm not challenging thefact that individual health has been im-proved and suffering reduced. What I'mgetting at is how technology has broughtout a very ugly side of what is in everyhuman. Technology and its wealth cre-ation has resulted in the social values thathave the average citizen believing he/shecan have the vehicles, homes, trips, pos-sessions, etc., that cause the pollutionand resource exploitation that is such ascar on our civilization. Maybe we'rehealthier as individuals, but as a wholeour planet is dying.

What I'm alluding to is that humanslearn by suffering. Pollution is causingnumerous new diseases and many peo-ple now suffer from emotional condi-tions that technology cannot solve.

Bert Verdon

Hi SteveI would like to direct you to a link thatmight be useful to your readers.

For over a decade we have collectedand data-based Canadian and US sewerbylaw (ordinance) information. The data-base provides information on the dis-charge restrictions and prohibitions to thesanitary sewer for over 3,000 Canadianand US cities, towns and municipalities.It also contains contact information of thewastewater treatment authority for eachjurisdiction.

We were contacted by the Photo Mar-ketingAssociation International (PMAI)to provide the sewer discharge require-ments to their members and others whocould benefit from the information.

The database is now online atwww.pmairegs.com/sewer, free of charge.

Hello Penny,I felt I had to respond to your thought-provoking card. I decided this year not to'waste' my money on silly things thatpeople don't need and instead try to helpmy eight year old son understand howtruly blessed he is. It is hard for a child tounderstand how lucky they are to havebeen born in Canada and, in so many sit-uations, that is the ONLY difference be-tween them and another child half wayaround the world with no shoes, bed,school.

Again thank you f or including me. Iappreciate what you do with Water forPeople.

Report surveys possiblesea change for BC coast

The Province of British Columbia has re-leased a report on projected sea levelchanges in an effort to help BC’s coastalcommunities prepare for climate changeand its serious effects, such as flooding.“Projected Sea Level Changes forBritish Columbia in the 21st Century”summarizes a scientific study publishedby the Government of Canada, which isthe first comprehensive analysis of sealevel change for BC’s coast since 1997.

According to scientists involved withthe Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange, the 21st century will continue tosee global sea levels rise as a result ofmelting continental glaciers and ice capsand warming of the upper ocean. How-ever, natural factors unique to BC, such asthe Pacific Northwest climate and vertical

land movements, could alter sea levels inways that vary greatly along its coast.www.env.gov.bc.ca/epd/climate/report

New wilderness areaprotects Amherst’s

water supply

The water supply for Amherst, NovaScotia, is now better protected, with thedesignation of watershed lands as aprovincial wilderness area. Nine-hun-dred and seventy hectares of Amherst-owned lands, north-east of the town,make up the new Chignecto IsthmusWilderness Area.

"We are pleased to work with one ofour municipal partners to protect theirwater supply and biodiversity, throughthis collaborative effort," said Mark Par-ent, Minister of Environment. "Protect-ing these lands demonstrates continuedprogress on the government's commit-ment to move toward a greener NovaScotia by protecting 12 per cent of ourprovincial land base by 2015."

The town requested that the provinceapply the higher level of protection to thelands which are within the municipalwater protection area. Department of En-vironment and town staff worked closelytogether to develop terms and conditionsof designation acceptable to both parties.

The area protects bogs, marshes, conif-erous and mixed forest and the endan-gered mainland moose. Its importancealso stems from its location in the narrow,low-lying land bridge which connectsNova Scotia to New Brunswick. The areawas already closed to unauthorized use ofmotorized vehicles by provincial watersupply protection regulations.

Other-wise, the impact of current activities, fu-ture growth and other major stressors,notably climate change and new invasivespecies, would affect the health of the lake.

The Lake Simcoe Protection Actpassed recently by the Ontario govern-ment sets the framework for protectingthe lake by:

• requiring the province to create theLake Simcoe Protection Plan.• setting the objectives of the plan.• setting the scope of the plan and themechanisms for carrying it out.• creating science and stakeholder ad-visory committees to support plan im-plementation.• allowing the province to regulate ac-tivities in shoreline and other criticalareas of the watershed to protect waterquality.• promoting environmentally sustain-able land use practices and development.• allowing the province to require mu-nicipalities to pass by-laws to control sitealteration, top soil removal, tree cutting,use of lawn fertilizers and pet waste.

And it’s estimatedto continue over the next 10 to 15 years.

Several examples of research reports

from completed projects are listed below;other studies are ongoing:• Workforce Planning for Water Utili-ties–Successful Recruiting, Training, andRetaining of Operators and Engineers(2008, order #91237).This report clearlyframes the issues of recruiting, training,and retaining drinking water utility oper-ators and engineers. It identifies short-term and long-term strategies that can beimplemented to address the issues.• Strategies to Help DrinkingWater Util-ities Ensure Effective Retention of Knowl-edge (2008, order #91220). The study’sfindings identify strategies, tools, andtechniques that utilities can use to retainknowledge of the retiring and shiftingworkforce. The report also includes keydrivers, critical success factors, barriers,and costs and benefits related to imple-menting knowledge retention programs.• Succession Planning for a Vital Work-force in the Information Age (2005, order#91090).

Public concern for health im-pacts from chemicals in our en-vironment has heightened and,with it, political pressure to in-

crease regulations. Although the federalNational Pollutant Release Inventory(NPRI) has publicly tracked releases ofhundreds of chemicals in Canada forwell over a decade, the City of Torontoand the Province of Ontario are under-taking their own community right-to-know initiatives to fill perceived gaps inthe federal toxics regime. In particular,recent initiatives with respect to chemi-cal use reporting will increase the ac-countability of chemical users at localand provincial levels.

City of TorontoOn December 1, 2008, Toronto City

Council adopted an Environmental Re-porting, Disclosure and Innovation Pro-gram, which is intended to encouragebusinesses to adopt pollution preventionprograms. The program includes a newbylaw that will require Toronto busi-nesses to publicly report their use and re-lease of 25 common chemicals (24 ofwhich are NPRI substances). The bylawwill take effect January 1, 2010, and re-porting will be phased in over four years.

Unlike the federal NPRI, which fo-cuses primarily on large businesses, theCity's new bylaw will also require infor-mation to be provided by small- andmedium-sized facilities by virtue of alow reporting threshold (e.g., as little as100 kg/year for most designated chemi-cals). It is expected that the bylaw willrequire reporting by up to 7,000 facilities(e.g., printing and publishing, wastemanagement, auto repair, dry cleaning,funeral services, etc.) that are not cur-rently required to report to the federalNPRI . NPRI currently collects data fromapproximately 350 Toronto facilities.

As a result, it is the City's view thatits new program does not overlap withthe federal NPRI or Ontario's proposedToxics Reduction Strategy. The City be-lieves that its new program will be a"complementary" local program andhas stated that it will work closely withthe federal and provincial governmentsto ensure the City's new program "con-

ment of Ontario's Toxics ReductionStrategy (the "Strategy"). A key part ofthe Strategy is proposed toxics reductionlegislation that would create new re-quirements for many facilities, includingmaterials accounting, toxics reductionplans, reporting and public disclosure.

solidated with the federal NPRI regime.At this time of economic uncertainty, alllevels of government need to be partic-ularly sensitive to avoiding duplicationand conflict and we would encourage allthree levels of governments to work to-gether to accomplish this goal.

Further, the City and theMOE shouldalso consider regulating only NPRI sub-stances. The City's bylaw contains onenon-NPRI substance and the Strategyproposes to regulate approximately 155non-NPRI substances. While we agreewith the importance of evaluating therisks of such substances, we believe thatthe City and the MOE should conservevaluable public resources by workingwithin the existing federal ChemicalManagement Plan to assess and ulti-mately designate further substances forthe federal NPRI, as appropriate.

Again, we believe that it would beprudent for the City and theMOE to takeall reasonable steps to minimize overlap,duplication and conflict with the federalplan so as to ensure that regulatory effortsare as efficient and uniform as possible.

Finally, the MOE is also recom-mending a number of new legislativeauthorities that would enable the MOEto (i) ban or restrict the manufacture,distribution or sale of a designated toxicand products known to contain a toxic;and (ii) require manufacturers and/orsellers of consumer products to publiclyreport on products containing toxics.

While we agree that Ontario has animportant role to play, it is our view thatadditional consideration should be givento the benefits of working with the fed-eral government to enhance the existing(and complex) federal regulatory frame-work that is designed to prevent and re-spond to dangers to human health orsafety posed by consumer products.

In particular, additional consultationwith stakeholders would be prudent toensure that any proposed consumer pro-tection actions would not create an un-level playing field for consumer productsthat are manufactured in Ontario.

Innovative municipal water softeningusing high-rate sand-ballasted technology

Sand-ballasted settling is a high-rate coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation process that usesmicrosand as a seed for floc

formation. The microsand provides asurface area that enhances flocculationand acts as a ballast or weight. The re-sulting floc settles quickly, allowing forcompact clarifier designs with highoverflow rates and short detention times.

These designs result in system foot-prints between five and 30 times smallerthan conventional clarification systemsof similar capacity. The use of microsandalso permits the unit to perform wellunder dramatically changing flow rateswithout affecting final effluent quality.

Raw water is pumped into the coag-ulation tank of the sand-ballasted sys-tem (Figure 1) where a coagulant, suchas alum, ferric chloride or ferric sul-phate, is added to destabilize the sus-pended solids and colloidal matter in theinfluent stream. Typically, hydraulic re-tention time in this tank is approxi-mately two minutes.

The water then flows into the injec-tion tank where polymeric flocculantand microsand are added to initiate flocformation. These serve as a “seed” forfloc formation and development in thenext step of the process. A hydraulic re-tention time of about two minutes ismaintained in this tank as well.

Treatment continues as the waterpasses to the maturation tank. In thistank, relatively gentle mixing providesideal conditions for bridging betweenthe microsand and the destabilized sus-pended solids. Typical hydraulic reten-tion time in the maturation tank isapproximately six minutes.

From this tank, the fully-formed bal-lasted floc enters a settling tankequipped with a lamella, which providesthe rapid and effective removal of themicrosand/sludge floc. The clarifiedwater exits the system via a series of col-lection troughs or weirs.

The sand-sludge mixture that settlesto the bottom of the clarifier is thenpumped to a hydrocyclone for separa-

tion.After separation, the higher-densitymicrosand is discharged from the bot-tom of the hydrocyclone and re-injectedinto the process for re-use. The lighter-density sludge is discharged from the topof the hydrocyclone, then thickened anddewatered prior to off-site disposal.

Pilot and full-scale data reveal thatthe ballasted microsand process canproduce an effluent with very low totalsuspended solids and turbidity.

Water Treatmenttial for solids build-up on the sand, es-pecially in the presence of high calciumand magnesium concentrations.

Process verification studyprocedures

As the process flow diagram (Figure2) illustrates, feed water was pumpedcontinuously into a reactor/softeningtank where the required dosages of limeand sodium carbonate were added. Thesoftening reaction was conducted at apH between 10.5 and 11.2 units. Afterthe softening reaction was complete, the

mixture flowed to a flocculation tank.Recycled sand and a selected dosage ofpolymeric flocculant were added intothis tank.

The water was then diverted to aclarifier where the sludge (mixture ofsand and sludge) was allowed to settle.After settling, the treated water was dis-charged. The mixture of sand andsludge, predominantly calcium carbon-ate and magnesium hydroxide, was thenpumped into a sludge/sand separationtank equipped with a mixer where the

sand was separated from the sludge.In the full-scale system, separation

of sand from sludge is accomplishedwith a hydrocyclone; however, thisequipment could not be made smallenough to be effective in this situation.Because of this, a separation tankequipped with an agitator was used. Thespeed of the agitator was adjusted tosimulate the velocity gradient achievedin the hydrocyclone. The sand was thenrecycled to the system.

A portion of the sludge, without sand,was recycled to the softening tank as a“seed” for crystal growth. Samples ofuntreated water, clarified water, overflowand underflow from the sand/sludge sep-aration tank (simulated hydrocyclone),and waste sludge were collected and an-alyzed for total and dissolved calcium,magnesium, silica, total suspendedsolids, total dissolved solids, turbidityand percentage of solids in the sludge.

The characteristics of the influentwater used in the softening study aresummarized in Table 1. The system wasoperated continuously (24 hours a day,seven days a week) for several months.The average concentration of dissolvedcalcium was 260 mg/L (as Ca2+); mag-nesium, 100 mg/L (as Mg2+); and silica,90 mg/L (as SiO2). The raw water had apH of about 8.0.

Results and discussionThe softening study results revealed

that the concentration of total calciumin the treated water was reduced froman initial value of about 260 mg/L (asCa2+) to less than 10 mg/L and that ofmagnesium was reduced from 100 mg/L(as Mg2+) to less than 12 mg/L. At mag-nesium-to-silica ratio of about 1:1, thesilica concentration was reduced to lessthan 10 mg/L.

The results also indicated that theconcentrations of calcium and magne-sium ions before and after filtration were

EHC-M™ Bioremediation Technology:

Using Controlled-Release Carbon, ZVI and Sulfate to

irreversibly precipitate and adsorb Trace Metals

Trace metals constitute a significant class of groundwater contaminants originating from mining effluents, industrial wastewater, landfill leachate, agricultural wastes, fertilizers and other sources. Adventus’ EHC-M redox compound is a technically superior ISCR technology—both in cost efficiency and effectiveness—over conventional enhanced bioremediation.

Not limited only to Hexavalent Chromium like competing offerings, EHC-M is field-proven to encourage the precipitation and adsorption of many dissolved metals such as antimony, arsenic, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc—limiting their movement downstream of a treatment zone.

EHC-M is a patented, specially formulated material containing controlled-release organic carbon, ZVI, a source of sulfate, and other additives designed for treatment of dissolved trace metals. It can be easily applied via a variety of construction methods providing in situ source area treatment or plume management (such as PRBs).

At CA$2.50/lb, cost factors for EHC-M are often 50% lower than other purportedly similar metals remediation compounds

currently on the market. Volume discounts and performance warranties make Adventus a preferred partner for consultants, engineers, field contractors, site owners, and regulators around the world.

comparable, indicating that the systemis capable of removing almost all theparticulates formed during the softeningprocess. The effluent quality from thisprocess, including TSS and turbidity, iscomparable to that of filtered water. Thisprocess resulted in a settling rate that

varied between 60 to 120 m/h. After 24hours of settling, TSS in the settledsludge (without microsand) ranged be-tween 20% and 25%.After operating theunit continuously for two months, an in-significant amount of solid build-up wasobserved on the recycled sand.

Mass balance calculation results forthe solids generated in the softeningprocess are presented in Table 2. Thecalculations were performed based onaverage concentrations of calcium andmagnesium, average flow rate of the in-fluent and effluent streams, average TSSconcentration and flow rate of the recy-cle stream (without sand), and averageTSS concentration and flow rate of thewaste solids stream.

It was also assumed that the silica wasremoved by being adsorbed onto the re-active surface of magnesium hydroxide.As the table illustrates, summation of themass of the TSS in the influent streamand the effluent stream are comparable.The difference is approximately 6%. It isanticipated that the small amount ofsolids that could not be accounted formay have stuck to the clarifier wall orbeen carried away during sand recycle.

The effluent total suspended solidswas also very low (<15 mg/L) through-out the study.

was achieved; however, the removal effi-ciency is a function of water quality, pHcondition and chemical dosage.One of the important aspects of this

study was to compare the settling rate ofthe solids with andwithout the addition ofmicrosand. Figure 3 presents the results ofthis study. As the figure illustrates, thesolids settling rate was improved tenfold

with the addition of microsand.Conclusions

The high-rate ballasted flocculationActiflo process appears to have excellentpotential for use as a high-rate softeningtechnology. This is a cost-effective, in-novative technology that is capable ofeffectively removing a variety of con-centrations of calcium, magnesium and

silica from raw water. It reduced the cal-cium concentration to less than 10 mg/L(as Ca2+) and the magnesium concentra-tion to less than 12 mg/L (as Mg2+),while maintaining a clarifier overflowrate of 60 to 120 m/h.Excellent water quality was achieved

at overflow rates as high as 120 m/h.This increased overflow rate results in asystem footprint significantly smallerthan that of a conventional clarificationprocess with similar capacity, thus mak-ing the system economical, especiallyfor treating high flow. Because of the in-creased overflow rate, the unit is capableof performing well under dramaticallychanging flow rates without affectingthe final effluent quality. Solids/scalebuild-up on the recycled microsand wasinsignificant and did not affect the op-eration of the system.

Key considerations for wastewater lift stationlevel control

Various technologies havebeen employed over the yearsto measure level in the harshenvironment of lift station

wells. Now, changing technology and theever-increasing pressure to reduce cost-of-ownership and maintenance issuesdrive us to look closer at the availablelevel measurement technologies.In wastewater collection systems,

raw sewage flows through gravity sew-ers to lift stations, which transfer thewaste to higher elevations, facilitatingfurther transfer to a treatment plant.Each lift station is typically equippedwith two or more pumps, which aremounted on the floor of a wet well.When the wastewater level reaches acritical point, a control system starts oneor more pumps. A reliable and accuratelevel monitoring system is absolutelycritical to the overall performance ofthese lift stations.In the specification process we strive

densities, coating products, solids, gasblankets or vapors above the liquid.Radar units use an electromagnetic sig-nal that is reflected back when it en-counters a change in dielectric at thesurface of the liquid.A hydrostatic pressure sensor of-

fers a reliable, cost-effective solution forlevel control. High precision and longterm stability are ensured by the selec-tion of a ceramic measuring cell. In a liftstation a submersible sensor would beselected and would measure the actual“weight” or pressure created by thesewage.A continuous analog signal pro-portional to the depth is then provided.An important consideration here is

when dramatically different densities areexpected over time, the actual measur-ing accuracy will be affected. This isusually well within the accuracy re-quirements of a lift station application.Hydrostatic measurement is ideal for ap-plications with foam or coating issues.

to evaluate different level measurementtechnologies to create the right balancebetween affordability, reliability and ac-curacy. It is always important to look ateach application individually, as thingslike ambient temperature range and con-densation will vary in different loca-tions. In many applications there ismore than one good solution.Having an understanding of the key

considerations, benefits and limitationsof each technology will make the daunt-ing task of selecting a specific technol-ogy a little easier:Level (float) switches connect to a

Thistechnology has been used for manyyears and has been quite successful inclean applications but, for the condi-tions present in lift stations, floats oftenbecome a costly maintenance issue.Bubbler systems combine pressure

The Village of Ile a La Crosse,Saskatchewan, operates a sur-face water treatment plant fortheir drinking water supply.

The water source is Lac Ile a La Crossein northern Saskatchewan, with the cor-responding cold water temperatures. Theinlet turbidity is typically less than 5NTU, but the raw water total organic car-bon (TOC) can be as high as 12 mg/L.Prior to this year, the system in-

cluded two conventional packaged treat-ment units consisting of flocculation,tube settling and granular media filtra-tion. The filter run lengths were short,producing excessive wastewater and lowsystem production efficiency. The highTOC was not properly addressed, whichresulted in trihalomethane (THM) con-centrations that were out of compliancewith regulatory standards. In addition,during high demand periods in the sum-mer, the water was sometimes out ofcompliance for turbidity, resulting in ad-visories to boil the water. The existingpackage treatment systems were alsonear the end of their useful life.AECOM was given the contract to

with a polyaluminum chloride coagulantand non-ionic polymer. A static mixer isused to ensure that the chemicals, rawwater, and previously-settled solids arethoroughly mixed. The water then entersthe bottom of the tube settler compart-ment, where the bulk of the solids set-tle. The sludge concentration below thetube settlers is typically 3,000 to 5,000mg/L, which acts as an effective bufferto variable influent solids loads.

This process makes optimal use ofprocess chemistry, increases sludgeconcentration, moderates solids load-ing, and improves settling. Periodically,sludge is blown down to maintain theappropriate sludge concentration and toprevent concentration of pathogens.

sorption clarification system withoutexpanding the media bed. The media isrolled and scarified, which places arough edge on the media to enhancesolids capture capacity.Solids are periodically removed by

adding air to the bottom of the clarifier.This lowers the bulk density of thewater and air, expanding the media bedand flushing the solids out of the sec-tion. The turbulence of the air, com-bined with the flushing action of thewater, ensures that the media bed isthoroughly cleaned.The water overflows a weir into the

mixed media filtration section. Mixedmedia consists of anthracite, sand, andgarnet to produce a constantly tighteningfilter bed. The filter media is directly re-tained on laser-cut stainless steel mediaretainer to eliminate support gravel layers.A block style underdrain ensures evencollection of the treated water as well asdistribution of the backwash air andwater,while maintaining a low profile.

The filter is backwashed using si-multaneous air and water to thoroughlyclean the media. Backwash waste is col-

lected with a low profile washtroughspecifically designed to prevent mediawashout with an advanced baffling andsolids separation design. After themixed media filter, the treated water issent to the clearwell for chlorination anddistribution.Chemical doses are flow-controlled

automatically by a programmable logiccontroller (PLC) working in conjunctionwith an inlet flowmeter.An influent flowmeter allows flow pacing of the chemicalfeed systems. In addition, influent andintermediate turbidimeters continuouslymonitor the raw water quality and sys-tem performance. This automatic chem-ical dosing control system reducesoperation time and optimizes chemicaluse, thus reducing overall system oper-ating costs. Plant operators are able toadjust set points on the control system’soperator interface terminal (OIT) to en-sure proper operation.

Longer filter run lengths,higher water quality

Placed online inApril, 2008, the newtreatment system was designed for aflow rate of 56.8 m3/hr (250 gpm) using

a single tank package treatment system.The raw water turbidity has been be-tween 1 and 4 NTU. The raw water TOChas ranged between 7 and 12 mg/L. Thesystem consistently produces treatedwater with a turbidity of 0.15 NTU orless. The THM concentration in thetreated water is about 78 μg/L.Before the plant was placed online,

the Province of Saskatchewan began toconsider lowering the compliance lev-els for THMs from 100 μg/L to 80 μg/L.The system is already operating in com-pliance with the new level. In addition,the filter run length is three times longerthan it was with the previous system.To date, the new Trident HS units

have provided exceptional treatment re-sults under very difficult water qualityconditions. Multi-barrier treatment willallow the plant to address current andfuture regulations for years to come.

shipping and electronics industries aswell as in the chemical process andwater fields, CFD is used to get ade-quate answers to design and applicationissues.“Pump design analysis has come a

long way from the days of slide rulesand drafting tables,” says GuillaumeMercier, CFD team leader at ITTWater& Wastewater’s marketing department.“Over the past years, CFD has made itsmark on the pump industry, reducingthe need for expensive physical testsand cutting new pump developmentcosts. In the past, engineers conductedexperiments to see what happened in-side pump stations by using modelsmade of plexiglass, for instance.”Pumps represent a challenging simu-

lation problem, because they involve ro-

Increasingly industries are using sim-ulation to design new products ordiscover new application benefits.No matter if it is to test how aero-

planes fly or the function of water pumps,simulation is an indispensable tool.Simulation is really the imitation of

real things, a state of affairs, or processes.Simulating means that certain key char-acteristics, or behaviours, of selectedphysical or abstract systems are repre-sented.Used inmany contexts, simulation in-

cludes the modelling of natural or humansystems in order to gain insight into theirfunctioning. Other contexts include sim-ulation of technology for performance op-timization, safety engineering, testing,training and education.During the First World War, wooden

mechanical horses were used to simu-late the movement of real ones. Decadeslater, the first landing on the mooncould not have taken place without sim-ulation techniques.During recent decades, physical

models have been increasingly comple-mented by the use of computationalfluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Un-derstanding fluid dynamics problemsoften requires both virtual simulationand physical testing.Industries are increasingly using

CFD to develop products and applica-tions. The aerospace and aircraft indus-tries, for example, started to use CFD tosimulate the flow of air around wings inorder to measure the most efficient wayto lift aeroplanes.The automotive industry was also

quick to pick up the new simulationtool. All auto makers now have CFD ca-pabilities to be able to put their cars onthe market as quickly as possible. CFDhelps shorten the time spent designingand engineering new cars. It is vital be-cause there is so little time to build thesecars to stay competitive. Computationalsimulation helps designers in the auto-motive industry address aspects such asthe optimal shape of the car in terms ofsuperior aerodynamics and reduced fuelconsumption.In all industries where various as-

pects of flow are involved, such as the

tating internal components whose mo-tion – particularly when combined withstationary components – needs to be in-cluded somehow in the model. Compo-nents such as impellers rotate, and theirrotation drastically affects the fluid flowthrough the device. The CFD methodshave greatly increased the ease and ac-curacy of simulating pumps.Thanks to the contemporary ad-

vanced calculations and computer sim-ulations, ITT Water & Wastewaterengineers have gained a better under-standing of what goes on inside pumps.“A CFD analysis yields values for

pressure, velocity, temperature andother flow variables throughout the so-lution domain,” Mercier says. “A keyadvantage is that CFD provides the flex-ibility to readily change design para-

sure and flow dynamic quantities. It isalso easier and quicker to analyse allthis data, thanks to CFD, than designingan accurate prototype.”

A direct benefit of CFD is that ve-locity and flow direction are simulated.From the data created by the CFD tool,it can be understood how the waterflows and will behave in the real envi-ronment. The flow can be visualised invarious scales from water drops to thelarge motion of a bulk flow. The veloc-ity magnitude, which is the distance theflow travels in the application during acertain time, can be simulated at virtu-ally any point. CFD also helps in estab-lishing where the flow is slowing downor where it is doing unwanted recircu-lation.

“The benefit of simulation for cus-tomers is that it helps to show thatpumps are not over-dimensioned for acertain application, but correctly se-lected,” Mercier says. “CFD can con-firm that you do not over-engineer yourapplication.”

necessary to ensure that products willwork well in the requested application.”She adds that although CFD simulationis being used more and more in engi-neering, different phenomena are de-tected by CFD and physical modeltesting, so both are necessary.

“They complement each other be-cause both have some limitations,” shesays. “Sometimes it may be demandingand time-consuming to use just CFD,and then the model test will be the eas-iest way. But it is not possible to see theflow distribution and velocity by justmodel testing in a pump station, so CFDis crucial.”

Mercier says that prototype testingalso has other drawbacks, comparedwith CFD.

“You really need to prepare themeasures of the model and carry outcareful calibration,” he says. “You can-not easily switch to measure several pa-rameters, which you can do throughCFD. Once you have done the simula-tion with CFD, there is a huge amountof information available, such as pres-

meters and determine the impact ofthose changes on performance.”

According to Slavica Zikic, an ap-plication engineer and expert in pumpstation design at ITT Water & Waste-water, system engineering simulationcan typically be used for complex ap-plications. It is important for ITT toprove that a product installed in a spe-cific environment will deliver the prom-ised performance.

operations, so the repair work must bedone in a crisis mode, especially if thebackup also fails.

2. Preventive or time-based main-tenance - This philosophy consists ofscheduling maintenance activities atpredetermined times when damagedequipment can be repaired or replacedbefore obvious problems occur. The ad-vantage of this approach is that theequipment does not run continuously.The personnel need to have enoughknowledge, skill and time to perform thepreventive maintenance work.

The disadvantages are that the sched-uled maintenance may be done too earlyor too late. It is quite possible that pro-duction will be reduced due to poten-tially unnecessary maintenance. Inmany cases there is a possibility of di-minished performance through incor-rect repair methods.

3. Predictive or condition-basedmaintenance - This philosophy involvesscheduling maintenance activities onlyif and when warranted by the meteringpumps or operational conditions, by pe-riodically monitoring the equipment forexcessive vibration, head-gasket leakingor observing any other unhealthy trendsthat occur over time.When the conditiongets to a predetermined unacceptablelevel, then the pumps are shut down forrepairs or replacement of damaged com-ponents to prevent a more costly failurefrom occurring. In other words, “Don’tfix what isn’t broken”.

Keeping pumps operating suc-cessfully for long periods oftime requires careful selec-tion of pump design, proper

installation, careful operation, the abil-ity to observe changes in performanceover time and, in the event of a failure,the capacity to investigate the cause ofthe failure thoroughly and take meas-ures to prevent the problem from recur-ring. Take a moment to reflect on howmany times you and your organizationhave thoroughly investigated a failureuntil you found the primary cause(s).

Those who work long enough in in-dustry may get an opportunity to observeall the different styles or philosophies ofmaintenance. These fall into four cate-gories:• Breakdown or run-to-failure

maintenance• Preventive or time-based

maintenance• Predictive or condition-based

maintenance• Pro-active or prevention maintenance

1. Breakdown or run-to-failuremaintenance - The basic philosophy isto allow the pumps to run to failure andonly repair or replace damaged equip-ment when obvious problems occur. Theadvantage of this approach is that itworks well if equipment shutdownsdon’t affect production and there is abackup when a pump does fail.

The disadvantage is simple: mosttreatment plants are one- or two-man

The advantage of this approach isthat it works very well if personnel haveenough knowledge, skill and time toperform the predictive maintenancework. Repairs to the pumps can bescheduled in an orderly fashion, andsome lead time is allowed for purchas-ing materials for necessary repairs, thusreducing the need for a high parts in-ventory. Since maintenance work isonly performed when needed, there is alikely increase in production capacity.

The disadvantages are that mainte-nance work and material cost may actu-ally increase if the plant operatorsimproperly assess the level of degrada-tion in the metering pumps.

An alternative is to outsource thiswork to the distributor or manufacturerto perform predictive, condition-basedduties. If an organization has been run-ning in the breakdown/run-to-failuremode or the preventive maintenancestyle, the production and maintenancemanagement must conform to this newphilosophy. The disadvantage is that theplant must have a backup pump that isready to be put online when the equip-ment is at the manufacturer for repair.

4. Pro-active or prevention main-tenance - This philosophy uses all of thepredictive and/or preventive mainte-nance techniques described above, inconjunction with root-cause failureanalysis to detect and pinpoint the pre-cise problems that occur.Another aim isto ensure that advanced installation andrepair techniques are performed, includ-ing potential equipment redesign thatfits into the plant’s mode of operation(this may be as simple as purchasing apre-designed panel) or modification toavoid or eliminate potential problemsfrom occurring.

The advantage of this approach is thatit works extremely well if personnel haveenough knowledge, skill and time to per-form these tasks. As in the predictive-based style, repairs to equipment can bescheduled in a timely manner, but thenadditional efforts are made to provideimprovements to reduce or eliminate po-tential problems from occurring. Again,repairs to equipment can be scheduled in

Operationsan orderly fashion and lead time is avail-able for purchasing materials for the nec-essary repairs, reducing the need for ahigh parts inventory. Maintenance workis only performed when needed, andextra efforts are made to investigate thecause of the failure and then determineways to improve the reliability of thetotal system requirements.The disadvantage is that this ap-

proach requires employees who are ex-tremely knowledgeable in preventive,predictive and preventive/pro-activemaintenance.Effectively identifying and avoiding

problems requires an intensive investiga-tion process. When a pump failure oc-curs, it is very tempting to remove thepump, replace the defective parts (or theentire pump), install the new or rebuiltunit, and get it back on line as quickly aspossible. However, if several checks arenot made during the removal and disas-sembly process, important clues to thecause of the problemmay be overlooked.During disassembly, the following

should be checked:1.Was the metering pump leaking hypo

causes of the recurring sewer surcharg-ing, anticipate the effects of future de-velopments, review the effects ofclimate change and take necessarymeasures to ensure a sustained highlevel of service of the existing storm-sewer infrastructure in the watershed.

The investigation revealed three sep-arate issues related to culvert sizing andbackwater effects at storm-sewer out-falls. The report recommended that theBabineau Creek culverts on GauvinRd., Champlain St. and College St. bereplaced to provide adequate hydrauliccapacity for the 100-year flood eventwith the anticipated future development.In addition, an existing storm-seweroutfall on Cousteau St. was extendedfrom the headwater end to the tailwaterend of the new Champlain St. culverts.

The report also recommended flowrestriction of catch-basin outlets, usinginflow control devices (ICDs) through-out the watershed to ensure that the totalflow in each section of storm sewer

would be capped to match the existingconveyance capacity, thus minimizingthe possibility of sewer surchargingthrough storm-sewer system service con-nections. Additional surface drainage ca-pacity would be provided at major streetintersections to ensure the residual flowcreated by catch-basin flow restrictorswould not result in excessive street flood-ing during a “design plus” event for theminor system (i.e. a storm event with areturn period in excess of 10 years).

Effects of climate changeThese approaches also considered

the effects of climate change and the in-evitability of increases in the frequencyand magnitude of peak flows over theservice life of the existing storm-sewerinfrastructure within the watershed.

In order to quantify the effects of cli-mate change on drainage infrastructurein Dieppe, a review of the scientific lit-erature was performed. Relevant infor-mation on the effects of climate changefor southeastern New Brunswick con-

Over the past several decades inthe City of Dieppe, NewBrunswick, the BabineauCreek watershed has been

subject to urbanization with the rapidgrowth of developments within thewatershed. The increases in peak runoffflows resulting from this rapid growthhave put a strain on the culvert system(major system) within the watershed andalso created adverse tailwater conditionsfor the storm-sewer outfalls (minor sys-tem) discharging along the watercourse.Recently, the frequency of sewer sur-charging in this watershed has increasedsubstantially from the levels of past years.

found that, for the Moncton area, includ-ing Dieppe, the annual average change inprecipitation is predicted to increase be-tween 2% and 8% by 2020, between 6%and 12% by 2050, and between 8% and19% by 2090. Preliminary results fromcomputer model simulations that evalu-ate the effects of increased temperatureand a less stable atmosphere on the risk

of extreme precipitation events (J. Wangand X. Zhang, 2007) show that the high-risk areas in North America include thesouthern US, the Pacific northwest andeastern Canada.

Based on these preliminary results,the risk of an extreme precipitationevent in eastern Canada is predicted to

sisted of the results of analysis of trendsin historical climate data, as well as pre-dictions from global climate models andthe results of statistical downscaling ofthese predictions.

Regional trends in seasonal tempera-tures forAtlantic Canada show an overallwarming of 0.3 Celsius degrees from1948 to 2005, with summers showing thegreatest increase in temperature (+0.8 Cdegrees), warming characterizing springs(+0.4 C degrees) and autumns (+0.1 Cdegrees), but winters becoming colder(-1.0 C degrees). Precipitation increasedinAtlantic Canada by approximately 10%between 1948 and 2005, a trend that con-tinued through the 1990s (Vassuer, L. andCatto, N. 2008).

When interpreting these results, itshould be noted that the trends are foraverage values throughout AtlanticCanada and the average values do notaccurately reflect potential trends in ex-treme events (on which the design ofdrainage infrastructure is based).

double, which corresponds to a halvingof the return periods of existing designevents (i.e. a storm event with a magni-tude that historically represented a 100-year return period would in the futureonly represent a 50-year return period)or to an increase of the magnitude of adesign storm with a given return periodby approximately 20%.

In order to accommodate the pre-dicted increases in design-flow magni-tudes resulting from the expectedeffects of climate change, the magni-tude of historical 100-year return periodflows were increased by 20%.

Global climate modelsTaking the effects of climate change

into consideration during the retrofittingof the Dieppe storm drainage infrastruc-ture will ensure that the hydraulic capac-ity of the existing storm sewers in thiswatershed will be sufficient to providean acceptable level of service over the re-maining service life (as defined by thestructural durability).

The use of ICDs at catch-basin outletswill ensure that the flow in the down-stream sewer system (the minor system)

will remain within the cross-section ofeach pipe, regardless of the effects of cli-mate change or the accuracy of climate-change predictions (i.e. surcharging ofthe minor system will be prevented re-gardless of the magnitude of the designstorm and regardless of the increase inthe precipitation intensity resulting fromclimate change).

The flows in excess of the minor sys-tem’s hydraulic capacity will be divertedoverland on the existing streets to thenearest interception point and directedinto the nearest watercourse (the majorsystem components). This approach re-quires that allowances be made for theadditional flows resulting from climatechange in the design of the major system(i.e. bridges and culverts) over the entireduration of their predicted service life,while insulating the minor system fromthese same effects wherever possible.

The construction work undertakenwas broken out into four phases:• Phase 1 – Gauvin Rd. culvert• Phase 2 – Champlain St. culverts• Phase 3 – College St. culvertextension from Highway #15

(Shediac Highway)• Phase 4 – Additional surface drainageand flow restrictorsEach phase was substantially com-

pleted from the downstream end (Phase1) to the upstream end (Phase 4) of thewatershed. The majority of contingencymoney was utilized for additional infra-structure relocations, and procuringadditional drainage easements to accom-modate the residual overland street flowsfrom the flow restriction in the minorsystem during the design plus events.

Most of the construction work wascarried out near existing watercoursesfrom June 1 to September 30, 2007, tocomply with environmental regulations.The project was completed with the sur-face restoration and installation of flowrestrictors in catch basins in Octoberand November 2007.

The total construction cost was ap-proximately $1.5 million and was onschedule despite pre-existing easementdisputes and unknown stakeholder is-sues at the outset of the construction.

City Council and the taxpayers ofDieppe will reap the benefits of this sus-tainable approach since existing stormsewers that are still in good structuralcondition will not have to be replaced toaddress insufficient conveyance capac-ity, thereby alleviating high costs, publicinconvenience and disruptions fromconstruction activities. This will allowmore public funds to be allocated to re-habilitating other deteriorating infra-structure within the municipality.

To this end, the City of Dieppe hasimplemented stormwater design criteriato mitigate the effects of urbanizationand climate change while sustainingboth existing and new storm-sewer in-frastructure. The City is also endeavour-ing, in the long term, to implementwatershed management plans for eachof its watersheds with a potential forhigh-density development. This will fa-cilitate development by addressingstormwater management requirementsmore economically on a regional scalerather than on individual properties.

Understanding the treatmentofwater plant residuals

ByNathaniel Andres,EIT,B.E.Sc.

the settled materials are transferred tothe sewer system. The third option,which is the basis of the process designdescribed here, returns supernatant to awatercourse but captures and dewatersthe settled sludge, producing a dry“cake” for disposal.

For discharges into the environment,process residuals are generally treatedfor total suspended solids (TSS) andchlorine. Chlorine concentration variesaccording to the amount of residual thateach facility applies.

The solids that comprise the residualmaterial are products of the source waterand chemical additives used to aid in itstreatment. The term “solids,” althoughcommon to the practice, can be decep-tive. Settled sludge, from either a con-ventional flocculation and sedimentationsystem or a mechanical clarifier, can bedescribed as a pumpable slurry made upof roughly 3-5% solids, while the filterbackwash, usually less than 0.1% solids,is, essentially, turbid water.

LegislationThe Ontario Water Resources Act

stipulates that the Ministry of the Envi-ronment (MOE) has the authority toorder the owner of a water treatmentplant to provide whatever means neces-sary to prevent discharges that may beharmful to a watercourse. These ordersare upheld in the site-specific Certifi-cate of Approval (C of A). Benchmark

values used by the MOE to create thesedischarge limits are the ProvincialWaterQuality Objectives (PWQO).

These limits were introduced with theoverall goal of ensuring that Ontario’ssurface waters remain safe for aquaticlife and recreational purposes. PWQOsare not legal standards unless they areincluded in the C of A.

Treatment plants that do not currentlytreat residues are fixed to a caveat in theC ofA that specifies a deadline for the fa-cility to make the necessary upgrades tomeet more rigorous effluent criteria. Al-though rare, there are water treatmentplants in Ontario that do not treat residuesand were not given such a deadline.Nevertheless, these plants do not havecomplete freedom; rather, they are inter-mittently required to conduct studies tocharacterize the nature of their dischargesin order to determine if residue manage-ment is necessary.

water treatment residuals is often com-pared to sewage treatment, there are sig-nificant differences in the influentchemistry and, accordingly, the treatmentprocesses. As mentioned, residue man-agement facilities are concerned with anumber of impurities, but the removal ofTSS and chlorine are the priorities. Con-versely, municipal wastewater treatment

In recent years, “residue manage-ment” has become a common termin the water industry. As environ-mental awareness continues to

drive engineering projects, more strin-gent regulations are being imposed.Therefore, it is critical for the industryto understand the basic concepts behindthe process and the regulations that gov-ern the treatment of water residuals.

Residuals consist of settled sludgefrom preliminary treatment, and back-wash wastewater from filtration in thewater treatment process. Their dischargeis regulated by effluent limits; the extentto which the material is treated is highlydependent on whether it is sent to sur-face waters or the sewer system.

Discharge to the sewer system is thecheapest method of residue managementand requires only equalization of theflow prior to discharge. Slightly moreadvanced systems provide an extra stepfor thickening. In these situations, thesupernatant (the liquid above the pre-cipitate) is sent to a body of water and continued overleaf...

plants, in addition to TSS, are required toremove contaminants such as nitrogen,phosphorus and biochemical oxygen de-mand (BOD). As an example, Ontario’swastewater is usually composed of 200-250mg/L of BOD, compared to just 10-20mg/L in water treatment residuals.

A typical residue management facil-ity will employ chemical conditioning,thickening and dewatering. Plants willalso utilize an equalization tank at theinlet of the facility to accept filter back-wash, clarifier sludge and the liquids ex-tracted by dewatering. A sludge holdingtank may also be used prior to dewater-ing to ensure a consistent sludge con-centration and to provide storage thatallows flexibility in equipment operation.

There are many proven technologiesavailable for treating residuals. A de-signer should be prepared to evaluatethem to optimize the process. Some ofthe most common treatment technolo-gies, with proven results of producing adry cake, are presented here. Given thatthe most common form of cake disposalis to landfill, a drier product can drasti-cally reduce tipping fees for the owner.

Chemical conditioningThe quantity of solids that can be ex-

tracted from the residue managementprocess depends on two main factors.The first factor is the chemical coagu-lant used to agglomerate the solids. Thesecond is the quality of water that entersthe water treatment plant.

Since a designer is often fixed to awater source, it is easier to adjust thedose or concentration of chemical com-pounds to suit subsequent processes.Typical coagulants include aluminumsulphate (alum), ferric chloride, ferrouschloride and polymers. Each reacts dif-ferently under various process technolo-gies, but polymers tend to be mostfavourable when mechanical dewateringis employed. Jar tests should be con-ducted to establish the most suitable co-agulant for the conditions.

The coagulant assists in particle set-tling by eliminating the particles’ col-loidal properties. When the negativecharges that inhibit sedimentation are re-moved, solids are allowed to agglomer-ate and settle. Flocculation, or gentleagitation, should be provided to give theparticles ample opportunity to come to-gether. A coagulant is also added fol-

lowing thickening to improve the effi-ciency of the dewatering equipment.

ThickeningFollowing coagulant addition and floc-

culation is the thickening stage. Thicken-ing improves dewatering capabilities byincreasing the solids concentration. A re-moval rate of approximately 95% with asolids concentration of up to 6% isachievable through most technologies.

Historically, standard gravitationalthickening has been most successful forwater treatment residuals, but othertechnologies worth exploring are solids-contact, ballasted flocculation and dis-solved air flotation (DAF) thickeners.Pilot studies are recommended to findthe optimum thickening process.

Standard gravitational thickening in-volves separate units for coagulation,flocculation and settling. The require-ments of a large footprint and relativelyhigh residence time are often deter-mined to be acceptable trade-offs forproven success in achieving a high per-centage of solids. Typical results forthese systems are 4-6% in solids con-centration. They are simple to operateand have relatively low operating costs.

Solids-contact thickening is anemerging technology that, through yearsof improvement, has become a finan-cially feasible solution to residuemanagement. It combines rapid mix co-agulation, flocculation and clarificationin a single, compact unit and is able to

operate under high hydraulic loadings.Recirculating the sludge offers excellentsavings in coagulant dosing, while asludge blanket is responsible for provid-ing better flocculation.

The ballasted flocculation system isa process that uses both chemical andphysical means to thicken the influent.An anionic polymer and a continuoussupply of coagulant are utilized to en-courage the settling of suspended solidsby combining the floc. The coagulantused is microsand, which is recycledthrough the system. A hydrocyclone de-livers the centrifugal force required toseparate the microsand from the sludge.Financial savings resulting from thehigh-quality sludge can be lost in exces-sive operational costs if the recycle rateof the microsand is not maintained.

DAF also requires that all particlesundergo coagulation and flocculation.While the goal of gravity settling is toproduce large, heavy floc, DAF incor-porates flocculation to produce manysmaller particles that float to the surfacevia fine bubble aeration. Sludge that iscollected at the top of the tank is easilyremoved with a skimmer.

This form of treatment is particularlyeffective at removing solids with low spe-cific gravity and other characteristics suchas turbidity, colour and algae. It is alsoknown to remove powerful odours and op-erate with low retention times and, there-fore, a much smaller tank. Operational

costs for compressed air and polymerdosages must be considered in the design.

DewateringPilot studies are generally the best

method for finding the most effectivedewatering mechanism. Some of themost common forms of dewateringequipment include a belt filter press,centrifuge, and plate and frame filterpress. Sand drying beds were used in thepast but have been phased out of de-signs, as increased flow volumes requirea very large footprint for the beds.

The belt filter press design is basedon a very simple concept. Sludge iscompressed between two tensioned, per-meable belts and is forced over andunder various rollers. For any given belttension, as roller diameter decreases, anincrease in pressure is transferred to thesludge, squeezing out the water toachieve a total cake solids concentrationof up to 25%. To prevent common prob-lems, plant operators are required tomonitor the equipment consistently forbroken belts and clogged pores.

Centrifugal dewatering uses high-speed rotation of a cylindrical bowl toforce the water out of the solids. It oper-ates as a continuous feed system, withthe solids being removed by a scroll con-veyor and discharged, while the liquidsflow out over a weir. Results vary withcentrifuge dewatering, reaching as highas 30% solids concentration but as lowas 15% or worse for alum sludge.

Downfalls of this method include itssusceptibility to corrosion, abrasion and

wear. Furthermore, energy requirementsare much greater than for other options.It does, however, offer continuous oper-ation with minimal operator attentionfollowing start-up.

The plate and frame press is one ofthe most common forms of dewateringon the market today. The driving forcebehind this dewatering mechanism is thepressure differential. The reason thisprocess is used so widely is because itproduces a drier cake than any other de-watering technology. Previous installa-tions have achieved 30% total cake solidsand better. The main advantages to thisequipment include savings in landfill tip-ping fees, adaptability to a variety ofsolids characteristics, high mechanicalreliability and high filtrate quality.

SummaryGiven the adaptability and success of

today’s thickening and dewatering tech-nologies, the discharge criteria estab-lished by Ontario’s MOE are moreachievable than ever. Those directly in-volved in water treatment are inherentlyfamiliar with the legislation andprocesses behind the practice. It is nowtime for others in related industry appli-cations to take the time to understandthis specialized field, as residue man-agement will continue to be at the fore-front of water treatment designs.

Communities are selected basedon several criteria, including health andsafety issues within the community;type, complexity, age and condition ofthe facility; remoteness, geographic lo-cation and accessibility; and commit-

Operators of water and waste-water treatment plants inremote First Nations commu-nities in Ontario are being

trained through a program managed bythe Ontario First NationsTechnical Serv-ices Corporation.The corporation is mandated by On-

tario First Nations Chiefs-in-Assemblyto provide advisory-level technical serv-ices to the province’s tribal councils,large First Nations and unaffiliated FirstNations. Its main objective is to fostergreater First Nations autonomy in theacquisition of capital facilities and in-frastructure development. It also pro-motes the development of moderncommunity health and safety practices.The Circuit Rider Training Program

(CRTP) is based on a similar programstarted 16 years ago in Saskatchewan.The general objectives of the CRTP areto promote hands-on training of First

ment by the community through a bandcouncil resolution.After a community has been selected

and trainees identified, the trainer (cir-cuit rider) visits the site to review theprogram and obtain community assur-ances of commitment. The trainer estab-lishes a training cycle in conjunctionwith the trainees, and then undertakesperiodic site training sessions over a one-to two-year period. The total time de-pends on the number and complexity ofthe facilities and the aptitude of thetrainees.The instruction method is based on

demonstration by the trainer followed byrepeated hands-on return demonstrationby the trainees; they are shown how todo the work and then they actually do it.Each stage of development is noted on

a performance chart that tracks eachtrainee’s level of competency in variousareas. Instruction is supplemented by a

12-module trainingmanual and participa-tion in a basic mathematics course and anoccupational health and safety workshop.All 12 modules of training materials

have been approved by the Ontario En-vironmental Training Consortium andthe provincial Ministry of the Environ-ment to award continuing educationunits to participating plant operators.The First Nations are adopting OntarioDrinking Water Regulations as a bestpractice in operating their water treat-ment plants. Most of the water andwastewater treatment plants have beenclassified, and operators are progress-ing through the certification levels byattending courses and appearing in thelicensing examination at designatedlocal community colleges.In addition to the training modules,

an annual trade show allows the opera-tors to take part in technical hands-onsessions in the areas of laboratory,pump, valve and hydrant maintenance,and demonstration of the confined-space entry procedures and relatedequipment. These technical sessionsprovide the operators with hands-on ex-perience with new equipment beingmarketed by suppliers.

Participatingcommunities and plants

Currently 55 First Nations commu-nities in Ontario are participating in theCRTP, including fly-in remote commu-nities as well as drive-in communities.High-risk water and wastewater treat-ment plants are given priority in receiv-ing the training.The following types of plants are

being serviced under the program:• Conventional water treatment plantwith zebra mussel control andchlorination.

• Membrane filtration plant withchlorination.

• Pulsapak package water treatmentplant with chlorination.

• Water treatment plant with zebramussel control, Dynasand filtration,granular activated carbon treatmentand chlorination.

• Slow sand filter with ozonation andchlorination.

• Green sand filter with chlorination.• Rotating biological contactor with UVdisinfection and phosphorus removal.

• Rotating biological contactor withchlorination and phosphorus removal.

• Lagoon system with pumping stationand collection system.

• Sequencing batch reactor with UVdisinfection.

• Lake intake with cartridge filters andchlorination.Challenges under the programFirst Nations communities face a

number of challenges in finding and re-taining water treatment plant operators:• Education requirements – Few oper-ators have achieved Grade 12 education,the minimum requirement for licensing

and certification.• Manuals and procedures –Most plantsdo not have as-built drawings, operationsand maintenance manuals, standard op-erating procedures manuals, emergencyresponse plans, and written health andsafety procedures.• Monitoring – No inspection/monitor-ing of the operators’performance parallelto the Ontario Ministry of Environmentis being carried out to determine if theyare following the proper procedures for

Operator Trainingplant compliance to best practices.• Succession planning – In small re-mote First Nations communities, it isdifficult to maintain certified operatorswithin the community.• Start-up training – Training providedby the consultant/contractor at plantstart-up and commissioning is often in-adequate. CRTP assistance is providedonce the plants are officially handedover to First Nations, but plant defi-ciencies from the start-up and commis-sioning can become an inherentproblem for operators.• Maintenance – Preventative mainte-nance of water treatment and distributionsystems is not carried out in most com-munities due to inadequate budgets. Thisactivity also requires people with properknowledge and trade licences. Also,most plants do not have sufficient fundsto undertake even minor correctivemaintenance. If something is broken, itcan take an inordinate amount of time toget repaired. Spare parts are not kept instock due to insufficient O&M funding.

When monitoring and control equip-ment fails, it is often left alone as long asthe plant can run in manual mode.

Proper tools for repair and maintenanceare often not readily available.• Equipment – Confined-space equip-ment is not available in most communi-ties and as a result safety procedures arebeing compromised. As well, plant op-erators require regular training in theuse of safety equipment and confined-space entry procedures.• Health and safety training – Many op-erators lack training in basic health andsafety procedures such as WHMIS andfirst aid.

• Access to technical advice – Once thetrainer leaves the training site, there isno one to help the operators on techni-cal issues in the event of unusual cir-cumstances and/or emergencies.• Outdated manual – The present CRTPmanual was developed in 1995/96. Itneeds to be upgraded to include the lat-est treatment technologies and applica-ble best practices. It does not include anoverview of new drinking water regula-tions and standards.• Inadequate coverage – Not all First

Nations with plants are covered underCRTP, although requests for assistanceare frequently received. There is no poolof technicians (mechanical, electrical,controls) to provide emergency assis-tance.As a result, assistance to First Na-tions is not available in a timely manner,and non-compliant plants cannot meetbest practices.• Travel costs – For remote First Na-tions communities, costs for travel toexamination sites and training centrescan be prohibitive.• Lack of access to classroom continu-ing education opportunities.• Language barriers.

Success of the programDespite these challenges, the CRTP

has proven to be successful. Operatorswho have completed the training pro-gram express confidence in their abili-ties and “pride and ownership” of theirplants.

Some operators have already takenthe operator-in-training examinationand are preparing for the Class-I andClass-II certification examinations inwater and wastewater treatment, collec-tion and distribution systems.

The quality of water and sewage ef-fluent has improved in the participatingcommunities.

Energy

ited to one person or one department.Often, this one person or department isnot in the position to garner a lot of in-terest or support within the company. Ina lean manufacturing environment, thisperson is already so busy with othertasks that the mandate of complete en-ergy responsibility can be overwhelm-ing. As a result of this structure, energybecomes isolated from other criticalplanning activities and is not seen as ahigh priority for the organization.

We know ‘engineering’may spec newequipment because it has been recom-mended by suppliers to save energy.However, the challenge with relyingsolely on new technology is the organiza-tion’s ability to sustain energy savings.For example: How many companies en-sure their equipment has been commis-sioned properly to achieve the notedsavings? How many promote theirachieved cost reductions within their or-ganization and, if there is a change in op-erations, is the affected equipmentre-commissioned to ensure it is operatingeffectively? In these cases, the efficiencybenefits of new equipment can be missedand the savings become unsustainable.

This is not to say technical expertiseis irrelevant when managing energy.Fortunately, most companies realize it isabsolutely essential to have technicalexperts on board. Viewing energy asstrictly a business issue would beequally one-dimensional. A business-

Significant financial savings,environmental footprint reduc-tion and today’s requirementfor continuous improvement in

all areas of manufacturing mean that nocategory of expenditure can be over-looked. Even if energy expenditure is asmall proportion of total cost it is likelythat it ranks high on the list of areaswhere savings or cost avoidance can beachieved, particularly if gains in im-proving raw material and labour effi-ciency have been exhausted.

Many companies believe the pro-curement of energy is the only viableoption to control energy costs. Althoughan effective purchasing strategy is im-portant, this is only part of the equation.Once the energy is purchased, if usage isnot carefully monitored and controlled,the initial purchasing savings disappearquickly through preventable, wastefulconsumption.

Frequently, the benefits of minimiz-ing energy usage are not linked to meas-urable environmental benefits or used topromote an energy efficiency culturewithin or outside the company. Those or-ganizations who view their environmen-tal policy solely in terms of meetingregulatory requirements and not incor-porating energy conservation reductionsas a priority will miss out on significantsavings or cost avoidance opportunities.

Reducing energy usage can have thesame impact on the bottom line as in-creasing sales revenues.With the industryaverage profit margin of 1%, every dollarsaved on energy is the equivalent of $100of industrial product sold, or increasingthe margins on some existing products byreducing operating costs. These bottom-line savings are substantial and, in manycases, can be achieved with little or nocapital investment required.

Historically, energy has been ad-dressed strictly as a technical issue andorganizations have tended to focus onnew technology for their energy sav-ings. Although technical insight is ab-solutely essential, business acumenmust also be incorporated when makingenergy decisions.

Typically, energy management is lim-

only approach would severely lack theimperative technical insight requiredand decision-making ability would bedramatically reduced. In fact, the list ofbusiness-only approach limitationswould easily exceed the technical-onlyshortcomings described above.

The key to success is involving a va-riety of technical and business person-nel in the energy management process,ensuring organizational integration andthe achievement of sustained results. Ashift in organizational behavior is re-quired; energy must be controlled byeveryone in the organization from theCEO to the people on the plant floorwho use energy every day.

The challenge for organizations liesin knowing where to begin.

Creation and implementation of asustainable energy plan

A sustainable energy plan (SEP) is acompany-wide effort and strategy, withboth a business and technical focus, forreducing costs. The first thing that mustbe done is to review all possible energymanagement practices with a variety ofdepartment managers at the same table.Identify the current position and deter-mine what actions need to be taken overthe next three years.

It is essential to demonstrate to sen-ior management all steps to reduce costwithout spending a large amount of cap-ital. Surprisingly, it has been proven thathalf of a company’s energy savings can

be achieved with limited capital. Thesecost savings are achieved through sim-ple management practices, often requir-ing a different way of thinking. Oncethis is demonstrated to managementthey are typically more receptive to ap-proach them on capital.

A successful plan matches up with allorganization activity and typically in-corporates customized strategies forprocurement, conservation and demandmanagement.

Traditionally, senior managementhave not focused on energy because theydidn’t understand it and thought it couldnot be controlled. Through the develop-ment of a company-specific SEP, youwill be able to speak senior managementlanguage and demonstrate that energy

can be controlled with their support.The plan your group develops

bridges the gap between senior man-agement and other disciplines by creat-ing accountability and targets for usageat every level. In fact, the plan shouldbe used as a sales proposal to motivate

senior management and various depart-ments to sign a mandate saying energyis controllable and they will review andsupport your plan efforts.

Developing an SEP is a proven, pro-active, measurable approach that pro-vides a structure for managing volatileenergy costs.

This is not to say that an SEP can bebought or that simply copying a com-petitor’s plan will be effective. For theplan to have any value, it must be cre-

ated internally. Creating the plan in-house ensures that all team memberstake ownership of the plan and subse-quently, energy awareness is raisedthroughout the organization.

Creating a plan and filing it away forfuture reference will be equally ineffec-tive. By constantly revisiting and revis-ing strategies, the SEP becomes a living,breathing document. Making a plan andproceeding to successfully implement,monitor, and follow up is a guaranteedway to reduce your energy usage, in ad-dition to the increased environmentalbenefits and the fulfilled corporate so-cial responsibilities.

With a variety of people involved inenergy initiatives, measurable savings areachieved, energy usage is minimized andorganizational objectives are met. Re-member, the starting point for this teamapproach is the development of your SEP,your site-specific, internally-created, sus-tainable plan for managing energy.

geosynthetic cap, one that was exposedrather than buried. A buried cap wouldhave required ongoing maintenance ofthe surface materials over the cap.An ex-posed cap is also cheaper to remove.

In the request for proposals, the Cityasked for a cover material that wouldmeet certain minimum physical proper-ties but would also have a 15-year designlife. Layfield proposed two products thatmet the physical criteria: a 0.75-mm (30-mil) thick high density polyethylene(HDPE 30) geomembrane, and a 30-milEnviro Liner 6030 geomembrane. Al-though both materials met the physicalcriteria, the Enviro Liner 6030 also camewith a warranty that would cover the 15-year expected design life.

In the end, the Enviro Liner optionwas chosen. Documented long-term UVtesting and a manufacturer’s warrantycovering the design period were themajor selling points. As well, its flexi-bility and its ability to remain intactthrough excessive elongation gave it ad-vantages over stiffer products likeHDPE. EL6030 can be factory prefab-ricated into large panels and foldedwithout damaging the membrane.HDPE cannot be folded and must be en-tirely field-fabricated, increasing risk toits quality, safety and productivity.

Layfield and the project designers,Golder Associates, Dillon Consultingand JL Richards, faced a number of de-sign challenges in the project. The City

Like many large Canadiancities, Ottawa is trying to im-prove the way it handles thegarbage its citizens generate.

An innovative landfill cap installed atthe main Ottawa landfill is helping withthat improvement.

The City of Ottawa hired Layfield En-vironmental Systems to install a low-per-meability geosynthetic cap over Stages 3and 4 of the City’s Trail Waste Facility.That 32-hectare cap, completed in Octo-ber 2008, will minimize infiltration andleachate generation from the landfill.

The landfill, which opened in 1980,was developed in four stages. Stages 1and 2 are unlined landfill cells, andStages 3 and 4 are engineered landfillcells underlain by a low-permeabilityliner and a leachate collection system.

Since Stage 4 was fast approachingits approved limit, the City of Ottawa re-ceived provincial approval in 2005 for avertical increase - upward expansion -of Stages 1 and 2. It also decided to puta temporary cap for at least 15 years onStages 3 and 4 in order to reduce the po-tential for leachate to be generated fromthe site. After that time, it is expectedthat the interim cap will be removed anduse of Stages 3 and 4 will resume undera vertical increase plan.

The City rejected the idea of coveringStages 3 and 4 with a low-permeabilitysoil cap because of the limited quantitiesof clay in the area. Instead it chose a

of Ottawa had recently installed a net-work of wells to extract landfill gas atthe Trail Road landfill, and the gas isused in an on-site power generation fa-cility. The cap needed to provide accesspaths for all-terrain vehicles to servicethe gas extraction wells that are on topof Stages 3 and 4.

The team also had to handle the winduplift that might affect an exposedgeomembrane cap. In the cap design, aseries of granular-filled ballast trenchesand anchor trenches were used to dealwith possible uplift of the geomem-brane. It even used the access paths tothe gas extraction wells as part of theballast system.

Designers also had to consider thepotential for waste settling under thecap at different rates, due to decompo-sition of different kinds of materials anddifferent levels of compaction. A rela-tively flexible cap was desirable to meetthat challenge.

Use of a low-permeability exposedcap meant altering the existing sitedrainage network around the landfill.That network had enough capacity tohandle runoff from a vegetated cover,but a low-permeability cap generatessignificantly more storm runoff. Theteam made a number of improvementsto drainage, including replacing the cul-vert crossings in the outside perimeterditch with larger concrete box culverts.

Overcoming pressure problemsThe cap designers worked on the as-

sumption that underlying landfill gaspressures beneath the cap would be neu-tral i.e., the landfill gas collection sys-tem was not creating negative pressurethrough the cover soils, and the collec-tion system was preventing landfill gasfrom escaping out through the coversoils. The ballast system to handlewinds was designed on the assumptionthat negative pressure could not be re-lied on to prevent wind uplift.

Things proved more difficult thanthe design team expected.While the capwas being installed, the team noticedthat portions of the cap were lifting upeven when winds were low. Althoughthe ballast system worked to contain

proved a challenge in laying the panels.Installation of the liner began in

Stage 3 of the landfill in the summer of2007, while Stage 4 was still receivingwaste. Stage 4 stopped receiving wastethat fall, when Stage 1 was re-opened.Once landfilling stopped in Stage 4, thetop of that mound was re-graded to im-prove drainage toward the existing sideslopes and ditches around the base.

Drainage provided many designchallenges in the project. The design

these lifted areas, the lifting was a prob-lem. The cap was being inflated by land-fill gas venting through the underlyingwaste and sandy bedding soils. Upperportions of the waste mound seemed notto be benefiting from the landfill gascollection network.

In some areas, landfill gas pressures,possibly combined with some wind up-lift, lifted the geomembrane cap by al-most five metres, which was close to thewind uplift predicted under the maxi-mum design wind speed. The designteam was concerned that such high upliftcould permanently deform the geomem-brane or pull it out from beneath thetravel paths or ballast trenches.

The design team worked with de-signers of the landfill gas extractionsystem to find a way to extract accumu-lated landfill gas from beneath the capin inflated areas and convey that gas tothe landfill gas collection system. Afield trial was done in which thegeomembrane cap was perforated in aninflated area and a hose was insertedand connected to an adjacent landfillgas extraction well. And it worked; theextraction well was able to remove allthe accumulated landfill gas in an in-flated area in less than 12 hours.

Based on the success of the fieldtrial, the team installed permanent land-fill gas extraction ports in areas of thecap that had been inflating and in provi-sional areas adjacent to landfill gas ex-traction wells. These ports will alloweasy connection to the landfill gas col-lection system if they are required.

Despite the problem of inflation fromlandfill gas, no notable change occurredin the thickness of the geomembrane inthese inflated areas of the landfill cap.Nor were there any signs of permanentdeformation of the geomembrane.

Installation challengesLaying out the geomembrane panels

was a complex undertaking due to thehighly irregular shape, grade changesand numerous trenches in the landfillmound. Layfield used three standardpanel sizes. That minimized the timespent in the field sorting individual pan-els and eliminated the need to carefullyco-ordinate fabrication and shipping ofparticular panels to the field placementteam. The random nature of the landfillgas wells on the top of the landfill also

team dealt with them by utilizing lowspots on top of Stage 4 as drainagechannels to convey surface runoff to-ward the steeper side slopes. As well,diversion berms were built beneath thecap material at points along the lowersections of the landfill footprint to helpre-direct and disperse surface flows be-fore they entered the perimeter ditches.

Weather produced its own difficul-ties while Layfield was working on the

vironmentally-sensitive Nanoose Bay.In 2002, INAC commissioned Chat-

win Engineering and Novatec Consult-ants to prepare Expression of Interest(EOI) and, later, Request for Proposal(RFP) documents, and, after the dueevaluation process, the project wasawarded in 2004 to the team of KnappettConstruction Ltd., of Victoria (generalcontractor), and ECOfluid Systems Inc.(treatment technology designer andprovider) that had previously delivereda number of wastewater treatment proj-ects in British Columbia.

The project award, and the facility con-struction and operation included severalinnovative approaches, such as awardingthe contract as a design/build/operate(DBO) contract, and the later inclusion ofthe development and implementation oftraining Band members to eventually be-come Environmental Operators Certifica-tion Program (EOCP) certified operators.

Design criteriaThe design criteria for the new plant

came directly from the decentralized fa-cility order book:• Produce high quality Class Aeffluent as stipulated by theMunicipal Sewage Regulations(MSR), (BOD5, TSS and TotalNitrogen of less than 10, 10 and 20mg/l respectively, ammonia nitrogenof less than 1 mg/l, and fecalcoliform of less than 14/100 ml.)

• Discharge the treated effluent intothe environmentally-sensitive localrecipient.

• Allow for future incremental plant

expansion. The initial capacity of119 m3/d will be expanded in fivefuture stages, each sized for anaverage flow of approximately 132m3/d to an ultimate future averagecapacity of 775 m3/d. (In phases 4, 5and 6, a mirror image plant is to bebuilt).

• Build a decentralized treatment

facility having a minimal visual,odor and noise impact on the neigh-bourhood.

• Design an operator-friendly plant,keeping in mind that the plant willbe for the most part operated by theBand member operator trainees.

• Design a SCADA controlled plant

design criteria, the entire plant was in-stalled within a building blending esthet-ically with the surrounding environment.The small footprint of the bioreac-

tors allowed them to be installed belowground and within the building. Noisefrom the plant was reduced, firstly, bythe fact that the USBF’s self-regulatinghydraulics result in minimal motorizednoise-emanating equipment, and, sec-ondly, by the noise abatement design ofthe blower enclosure. In fact, the noisefrom the nearby highway is often higherthan that emanating from the plant.USBF bioreactors are odor free. The

only other sources of odor, such as thescreen room, and the equalization tankgas phase, are piped into an air fanwhich passes the collected gas througha biofilter bed. (The odor abatementsystem described was not ECOfluid’sfirst and preferred choice. In mostECOfluid plants the odorous gas wouldbe piped to the air blowers and, subse-quently, stripped during the mixedliquor aeration).Phase 1 of this advanced plant was

plant started to receive wastewater onOctober 20, 2005.The first sampling andanalysis were performed within twoweeks of the plant start-up and the datawere well within the design parameters(Table 1).

Plant performanceIn the last three years the plant per-

formance has been consistently withinthe Class A design parameters. Table 2summarizes annual averages of monthlysampling and analysis.

Prior to the sampling of the influentBOD, the operators and the designerswere baffled by the elevated Total Nitro-gen, which, while still within the designcriteria, hovered higher than the 10 mg/ltypically expected of the USBF plants.

Subsequent analysis of the influentBOD confirmed the initial suspicionthat the consistently low influent BODdid not provide sufficient donor carbonnecessary for denitrification. It is inter-esting to observe that the one year theinfluent BOD was higher (2006) re-sulted in much better denitrification andTN was reduced to an average of 12.5mg/l. Although the plant still performswithin the design criteria, the additionof supplemental carbon on a trial basiswill be implemented.

To compound the denitrificationprocess challenge, it was recently dis-covered through the construction pho-tos, that a fine air bubble diffuser wasinstalled in error within the anoxic com-partment instead of a coarse air bubblerintended for mixing. The situation willbe corrected in early spring of 2009.

Addition of supplemental carbon,and replacement of the fine air diffuserin the anoxic compartment will no doubtbring the Total Nitrogen levels closer to,or below the USBF customary 10 mg/l.

The plant's absolute power consump-tion is approximately 250 kWh/day. Thespecific power consumption (kWh/m3 orkWh/kg BOD) will reach its optimumwhen the plant capacity loading increases.

Operator trainingThe development and implementation

of the Band members' operating trainingprogram were a first for INAC andECOfluid. The program’s goal was tohave two Band members attain waste-water treatment plant operators’ certifi-cation as per the requirements of theEOCP. Two trainees were selected by the


great dedication to the job and have em-braced the steep learning curve. Dailyreports are submitted to the ECOfluidchief operator, who visits the plant peri-odically but who, in any case, is nevermore than a few hours away, outliningoperating parameters and issues thatneed to be addressed.

process. Simultaneously, organic carbonis fermented by native soil micro-organ-isms, contributing more free electrons,which are transferred to electron accep-tors, such as oxygen and nitrate, therebydriving soil redox conditions well intothe negative range.

Also through this in situ chemical re-duction process, electrons are trans-ferred to the OCPs, resulting in removalof chlorine atoms (reductive dechlori-nation). After a period of five to 10 daysof strong reducing conditions, the soil istilled again and allowed to dry, to im-pose aerobic conditions. Completion of

Historical usage of organochlo-rine pesticides (OCPs) suchas DDT, toxaphene and diel-drin has resulted in long-term

soil contamination, because these sub-stances typically do not degrade naturallyat significant rates, so sites are still im-pacted decades after the end of applica-tion. For example, DDT use in Canadaended over 30 years ago, but impactedsoil remains at many sites. Such was thecase at a former apple orchard in Ontariothat was to be developed for housing, butwhere concentrations of DDT, DDE anddieldrin exceeded the residential usestandards.

In the past, the most common way todeal with OCP-impacted soil was “digand dump”: excavation, trucking and dis-posal in an approved landfill. In this case,however, the real estate developer’s con-sultant had identified a potential on-sitetreatment technology called Daramend®

(a registered trademark of Adventus In-tellectual Property Inc.).

The technology is based on additionof a soil amendment composed ofbiodegradable carbon in the form ofprocessed plant material and zero-valentiron (ZVI). The amendment is thor-oughly mixed into the soil, typicallyusing a rotary tiller, and water is addedto increase the soil’s moisture content tojust below the saturation point.

Zero-valent iron particles rust to formferrous iron and release electrons in the

each anaerobic/aerobic period repre-sents one “treatment cycle.”

Typically, each treatment cycle resultsin a reduction in the soil OCP concen-tration. The number of cycles required totreat a given soil depends primarily onthe initial concentrations and the reme-dial standards.

The overall site was approximately240 acres in size, of which 34 acreswere impacted with OCPs. To validatethe technology at this site, a two-acrepilot project was performed in late2006. Tractors, tillage implements andirrigation equipment were mobilized to

a 12-ft-high water reel equipped with1,200 ft of 4-in. diameter hose. At theend of the hose, a large sprinkler di-rected the water onto the soil.

This setup provided a tremendousamount of flexibility in reaching vari-ous areas. An unoccupied barn was usedto store equipment and materials. TheDaramend amendment, which was sup-plied in one-ton bulk bags, was deliv-ered to the site on 53-ft trailers asneeded throughout the project.

Representative soil samples weretaken after the completion of each treat-ment cycle on the individual acres todetermine if the remedial standards hadbeen met. Approximately 60% of theareas was treated after one cycle, whilethe remaining 40% required a secondcycle. All impacted areas were success-fully treated to the remedial standards.

The averaged data for each of thesetwo groups of areas are presented inTable 1a and 1b. For plots that weretreated in one cycle, the average per-centage removal ranged from 38% to53%. For plots requiring two treatment

Given the success of the pilot-scaleproject,Adventus provided the developerwith a full-scale, money-back perform-ance guarantee whereby payment was re-quired only for soil that was treated to theremedial standards. This removed signif-icant risk for the developer.

The full-scale implementation phasebegan in May 2007, since a soil temper-ature of at least 10˚C is needed to sup-port sufficient microbiological activity.Additional tillage and irrigation equip-ment was mobilized to the site. The re-maining 32 acres requiring remediationwere located in 10 distinct areas andwere separated by often large distanceson the 240-acre site.

One challenge was providing suffi-cient water to the isolated treatmentzones. Water was sourced from two firehydrants, depending on which area wasbeing treated.

and would have yielded higher percent-age removals.

The guaranteed fixed-price cost ofthis turnkey project was less thanUS$35,000 per acre (under $21 per tonof soil). Compared to an estimated costof $80/ton for the dig-and-dump option,the savings on the project were over $59

cycles, the average percentage removalwas between 65% and 68%. AlthoughDDD (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane)did not exceed the remedial standards,it was reduced by an average of 57% inone treatment cycle. If the site had hadhigher concentrations to begin with, ad-ditional cycles might have been required

per ton. Thus, the bioremediation ap-proach resulted in savings of over $3million compared to dig and dump.

In addition to the financial benefit,there were additional environmental andsocietal advantages. Being able to treatthe impacts on site meant there wouldnot be a constant flow of trucks to pickup and deliver the loads of soil to thelandfill. This reduced noise emissionssignificantly, and cut the greenhouse gasemissions compared to the more than2,500 truck trips that would have beenneeded to transport the soil off-site, anda similar number to bring in clean fill.

To conclude, this innovative andcost-efficient approach to in situ soil re-mediation represents a transferablemethod that site owners, developers, en-gineers and regulators may consider forremediation not only of pesticides andherbicides, but also of chlorinated sol-vents and organic explosives, and forimmobilization of heavy metals.

Encouraging innovation is oneof the most critical activitiesfor all industrialized nations.Since 1985, Canada has of-

fered incentives to encourage Canadianbusinesses of all sizes and in all sectorsto conduct research and developmentthat will lead to new or improved prod-ucts, processes, or materials.

The largest of these programs isknown as SR&ED (Scientific Research& Experimental Development). This fed-eral program, when combined with vari-ous provincial incentives, can helpcompanies who conduct their develop-ment work in Canada recoup up to68.5% of their R&D expenditures, bring-ing direct benefits to their bottom line.

Many companies, however, overlookthis source of revenue because they don’tthink they qualify, or there is a perceivedlack of time, resources or expertise toproperly identify eligibility and managethe claims. This article answers somecommon questions regarding the SR&EDprogram. Qualifying for a claim and put-ting a company on a path to dollar recov-ery may be simpler than people think.1. How can the SR&D program helpus? The program gives claimants cashrefunds and/or tax credits for their ex-penditures on eligible research and de-velopment work done in Canada. Thisallows companies to hire additional, orbetter qualified staff, conduct more de-velopment work, expedite projects, orjust simply improve profitability.

As long as the activities were con-ducted in Canada, qualifying expendi-tures may include wages, materialsconsumed, contractors, equipment pur-chased for SR&ED, some overheads,and third party payments to organiza-tions such as universities.

Recent legislation now allows up to10% of eligible labour dollars to be uti-lized for wages for SR&ED activitiesconducted outside of Canada.2.What are the eligibility criteria? Tobe eligible, a company must have per-formed qualifying work in the develop-ment of a product or process. Inaddition, there must have been qualify-ing dollars spent for the project(s). A

ready and reasonable access to thedetails of that innovation.

3. Our company isn’t a high-techcompany - can we still qualify? TheSR&ED program is not exclusive to sci-ence and technology companies. Aslong as projects meet the criteria, theycan qualify. In the simplest terms, if acompany identified a technical prob-lem, had some technical uncertainty asto how to resolve the problem, and it ap-plied an iterative, experimental ap-proach to solving the problem, there is agood chance it will be eligible to file aclaim.

It does not matter if the company isinvolved with environmental products,software, industrial manufacturing, foodand beverages, medical products, or awide range of other industries.4. The project failed. Can a companystill claim? Absolutely. If anything,failure demonstrates that there wassome technical risk and uncertainty toyour claim.5. How much can be recovered? Themaximum refund depends primarily onyour type of company, province of op-

eration, and the type of expendituresclaimed. For example, Canadian Con-trolled Private Corporations (CCPC),claimants in Ontario are eligible to re-ceive 68.5% of labour expenditures,41.5% of materials and subcontractorcosts.

Consider a CCPC who spends$100,000 on labour to conduct eligibledevelopment work. This organizationwould be eligible to receive a maximumof $68,500 as a refund. Refund rates forsole proprietorships, partnerships, pub-lic companies, and foreign-owned com-panies are slightly lower.6. What kind of documentation isneeded? The government will want toensure there is some kind of dated doc-umentation to substantiate your claim.This information could include projectrecords, such as notebooks, test results,progress reports, drawings, schematics,or even photographs.

For labour expenditures, the govern-ment expects some kind of trackingdocument describing the hours spent,by person and by project. For first timeclaimants, the government recognizes

companies may not have all of the in-formation required. Therefore, it issomewhat more lenient. For subsequentclaims, however, a more rigorous docu-mentation system is needed.

If you are claiming materials, pur-chase invoices or scrap certificates arenecessary. For subcontractors, invoicesand a signed Statement of Work trans-ferring the right to claim SR&ED toyou are key.

ConclusionThe Scientific Research & Experi-

mental Development program providesstrong incentives to companies willingto undertake efforts to achieve techno-logical or scientific advancement. Par-ticipation helps to reduce the financialimpact of development costs, encourag-ing companies to grow. In the long run,this can have significant benefit for theCanadian economy.

Nanoparticles offer promise in ground water remediationResearch

Nanotechnology, the scienceof matter on the atomicscale, offers much promisefor making water clean and

safe for the world’s citizens, but carealso should be taken to study possibleunwanted environmental side effects,according to researcher Vicki Colvin,Ph.D., of Rice University.

Colvin’s presentation, “Nanotechnol-ogy in the Environment: Clean Waterfrom Small Materials,” explored theemerging science of nanotechnology atthe National Ground Water Association’sGround Water Expo and Annual meeting.

A “nanoparticle” is 1 to 100 nanome-ters in diameter, a nanometer being onebillionth of a meter in length. Whilesome nanoparticles occur naturally, nan-otechnology has resulted in the develop-ment of nanoparticles that have veryspecific properties. In the context of re-mediating contaminated water, two suchproperties are:1) Sequestration, where the nanoparti-cle locks up a contaminant to where it’snot harmful; and, 2) Reaction, where ananoparticle reacts with another sub-

stance to render it harmless.“The real benefits to ground water

are all related to the surface area ofnanoparticles. A gram of nanoparticlematerial might have the surface area ofa football field. Nanoparticles havehuge surface areas for reaction and se-questration,” Dr. Colvin said.

Another advantage to nanoparticlesis that they are so small they do not set-tle in water but are a part of the waterflow, thus facilitating their ability toreact with or sequester contaminants.

Dr. Colvin said the ability to designand produce nanoparticles to do veryspecific things is so good that “you canmake a nano-anything these days.”

“The field of nanotechnology is pro-jected to be a $1 trillion business in thenext five to 10 years. They are in manyconsumer products from deodorants tosunscreen and car tires to golf clubs ”, Dr.Colvin said. “The question is, do they findtheir way into aquifers and are they goingto be part of drinking water systems?”

The same qualities that makenanoparticles so useful and effective canalso present dangers to the environment.

“Small amounts in mass could be hugeamounts in surface area so that youcould moderate and change environ-mental processes drastically,” she said.Among the potential issues:

Nanoparticles could facilitate thetransport of contaminants; the reactiveproperties of some nanoparticles couldcreate unwanted byproducts; at itsatomic-scale size, nanoparticles couldinvade and affect biological organismsin ways larger particles cannot; theycould persist in the environment for along time.

“For all those reasons, we want to becautious with them. The science of ap-plication of nanoparticles has beenaround for 10 years or longer. What’snewer and less evolved is the science ofhow to deal with the unwanted conse-quences,” said Dr. Colvin. This evolv-ing science is complicated by the factthat it can be difficult to differentiatebetween naturally occurring and man-made nanoparticles.

is no exposure of process fluid to the en-vironment, low-quality water can beused as a makeup source. In addition,spray water does not cycle through sur-face exchangers. Due to wide tube spac-ing and non-clogging, large-orificespray nozzles, higher cycles of concen-tration can be achieved. The fluid to becooled flows through large-diameterprime surface tubes.As an evaporative cooling device, a

WSAC system has an operating ap-proach (leading fluid temp) to the am-bient wet bulb, not the dry bulb as withair-cooled units. This allows the processbeing cooled to be much cooler than thealternative system designs. The NiagaraWSAC “single-source thermal respon-sibility” has proved to be a viable solu-tion to control cooling capacity.WSAC technology combines ele-

ments of a tubular heat exchanger andcooling tower in a single structure. Thisis a cost-effective heat transfer technol-ogy providing lower outlet temperatureswhile requiring less plot space and op-erating HP.Each WSAC system is custom-de-

signed to fit a specific heat transfer ap-

Water conservation and treat-ment have become impor-tant considerations forindustrial facilities world-

wide.Wet SurfaceAir Cooler (WSAC™)closed-loop, evaporative coolers and con-densers optimize the use of scarce waterresources,may reduce the amount ofwaterrequired in a plant, and can also be used tomaintain the required temperature inwastewater streams.In addition to providing cooling and

condensing solutions, a WSAC cooleror condenser can use low-quality waterfrom almost any other source as spraymakeup. Commonly used for adding ca-pacity in “thermally challenged” plants,WSAC systems offer additional directcooling without the need for additionaltower capacity or makeup water.Because the spray water never con-

Units can bemanufactured with a wide variety of ma-terials depending on water quality, watertreatment and cycles of concentration.Varying in size from smaller packagedskidded to large field-erected units,WSAC equipment can be tailored tomeet the most demanding applications.WSAC coolers and condensers have

been engineered for industrial applica-tions in power, primary metal, petro-chemical, refinery, and food andbeverage facilities. Applications forthese closed-loop, evaporative coolersand condensers include fluid-loop cool-ing, direct-vapour condensing, hydro-carbon desuperheating and subcooling.

Reusing low-quality water tocondense steam

Engineered for a natural gas-pow-ered, 25 MW power plant inAustralia, aWSAC steam condenser reuses low-quality water as spray water. Because ofthe water quality and ambient air effectson the external surfaces, corrosive-re-sistant coil material and protective sur-face finishes were selected for this unit.Regular service and cleaning are rec-

ommended for maintaining optimal per-formance, especially when low-qualitywater is used. Prime surface cleanablecondensing coils offer complete inter-nal access for inspection and cleaning,while an unobstructed view from abovethe tube bundles of the recirculatingspray system and the outside tube sur-faces permits daily visual inspection.This view is obtained by way of an ex-ternal access package provided on thisunit. WSAC system access packagestypically include a ladder, cage walk-way, handrail and access doors.WSAC coolers and condensers offer

several advantages for similar sites withlow-quality makeup, including a reduc-

tion of freshwater makeup and the abil-ity to reduce plant wastewater and ob-tain higher cycles of concentration.

Using existing cooling towerblowdown as makeup

An international petroleum companyin the southwestern United States se-lected Niagara to engineer a large field-erected WSAC system to condensepropylene. The WSAC condenser of-fered this plant the ability to use exist-ing cooling tower blowdown as spraymakeup and reduced the horsepower re-quired to condense this service.The WSAC system eliminated the

need for an additional water source.Closed-loop, evaporative coolers offeran opportunity to reuse water thatwould otherwise be discharged.

Using low-quality river waterA field-erected, multi-cell hydrocar-

bon cooler and condenser were providedfor a multinational oil company’s plantin the Middle East. Closed-loop tech-nology permits the use of high-chlorideriver water as spray makeup. TheWSACcooler and condenser system designedfor this facility allows for observation

and maintenance of the spray water dis-tribution system without the need forstructure entry or fan shutdown.An important design feature for this

unit is individual tube bundle installationand removal by a vertical lift without af-fecting the operation of fans and remain-ing tube bundles. The straight-throughmechanically cleanable individual tubebundles are hydraulically isolated forservice or control. A self-draining, low-pressure, high-flow spray system that in-cludes large-orifice non-clogging spraynozzles was designed so all spray noz-zles can be inspected and serviced with-out removing any appurtenances whilethe equipment is in operation.Issues such as water conservation will

continue to have an impact on plant de-sign and operation. Closed-loop, evapo-rative coolers can help maintain plantperformancewhile utilizingwater streamsthat are currently unusable with conven-tional towers and heat exchangers.

Municipal wastewater treat-ment facilities are facingincreased environmentalpressures to improve efflu-

ent quality. In some cases, improvementsin the effluent quality must be achievedby additional treatment processes withinthe confines of the existing plant site.Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technol-

ogy provides a tertiary quality effluentwithin a compact footprint. As a result,the application of membrane technologieshas increased substantially within thebroader environmental community in re-cent years.This case study provides a per-spective on the application, design andstart-up experience for the integration ofa membrane bioreactor at an existing mu-nicipal wastewater treatment facility.

Project historyDesign and construction of a mem-

brane bioreactor has been completed forthe expansion and upgrade of the Kil-worth Water Pollution Control Plant(WPCP). The Kilworth WPCP provideswastewater service for the village of Kil-worth, located about 15 kilometres westof London, Ontario, in the Municipalityof Middlesex Centre.The Kilworth WPCP consisted of an

Old Plant (commissioned in the late1970s) and a New Plant (commissionedin the mid-1990s). Both plants consistedof activated sludge (aeration and second-ary clarification) with sludge holding

tanks for seasonal sludge storage.A sandfilter provided tertiary filtration of thesecondary effluent from the New Plantonly. The New Plant tertiary effluent wascombined with the Old Plant secondaryeffluent prior to seasonal disinfection byultraviolet (UV) irradiation and subse-quent discharge to the Thames River.Based on the age of the steel tanks in

the Old Plant, and the environmentalconditions in the New Plant tertiary filterbuilding, it was identified that major re-

pairs/replacement of this equipmentwould be required to maintain the exist-ing treatment capacity. In addition, ex-pansion of the plant capacity was neededto accommodate rapid residential devel-opment occurring in the service area.Site constraints at the KilworthWPCP

presented significant challenges associ-ated with a conventional expansion.Withflows already approaching the rated plantcapacity, all existing treatment processeswould be required to remain in serviceduring the construction of replace-ment/expansion processes. In addition,the expansion to double the plant capac-ity was to be based on maintaining theexisting loading conditions to the efflu-ent receiver. Therefore, tertiary treat-ment for the entire expanded plantcapacity would be required.Under these constraints, the existing

plant site could not accommodate theincrease in plant capacity using conven-tional secondary (activated sludge)and tertiary (sand filtration) treatmentprocesses.

Membrane bioreactor technologyThe application of MBR technology

was investigated as an alternative for ca-pacity expansion of the KilworthWPCP.Unlike conventional activated sludgesystems, solid/liquid separation in the

MBR process does not rely on biomasssettling properties and the secondaryclarifier solids loading rate does not limitthe mixed liquor suspended solids(MLSS) concentration. A compact foot-print is achieved through two features ofthe MBR process:• Reduction of the bioreactor volumerequired for a given flow as a resultof operation at higher MLSS con-centrations; and

• Replacement of secondary clarifiersand conventional filtration in a singlestage membrane filtration processproducing a high quality effluent.As a result of these inherent features,

the MBR process was implementedwithin the existing site boundaries usingthe New Plant aeration tanks only toachieve the expanded plant capacity. Thedesign approach included the reuse ofother existing equipment, includingchemical P-removal systems, UV disin-fection and the blower/administrationbuilding. The New Plant secondary clar-ifiers and filtration and entire Old Plantactivated sludge processes will be de-commissioned.

Effluent requirementsA new Certificate of Approval was

issued for the MBR upgrade and expan-sion. The effluent objective and compli-ance concentrations specified on amonthly average basis are presented inTable 1. The effluent requirements alsoinclude monthly average loading limitsbased on these concentrations and theexpanded plant capacity of 1,280 m3/d.

Design componentsThe design works required to convert

the existing activated sludge system to amembrane bioreactor included the fol-lowing major components:1. Alteration of the existing inlet

works structures to accommodate newgrinders and 2 mm drum screening sys-tem (Figure 1) provided to protect thedownstream membrane process.2. Conversion of one sludge holding

tank into a flow equalization tank to op-timize membrane requirements.3. Provision of new transfer pumps

from existing aeration tanks to newmem-brane tanks and gravity flow return lines.4. Provision of two new membrane

tanks, complete with multiple membrane

cassettes, all housed in a new membranebuilding. The membrane filtration andancillary systems included:• Variable speed permeate pumps todraw treated water through themembranes;

• Citric acid and sodium hypochloritechemical storage and injectionsystems for membrane cleaning;

• Additional blowers for membraneaeration and air-scour cleaning;

• Backpulse water storage tank;• Compressed air system for pneumaticvalve operation; and

• Lifting equipment for cassetteremoval.The membrane building, approxi-

mately 14metres wide by 17metres long,was located in available site space withallowance for all existing plant compo-nents to remain operational during con-struction. The building location alsoallowed the UV disinfection system to beincorporated within the building enve-lope. The membrane tanks were recessedbelow grade to minimize the height of themembrane building, which must be ade-

(EA) that identified MBR as the pre-ferred wastewater servicing alternativefor Kilworth was completed by Con-estoga-Rovers & Associates in Novem-ber 2006. Detailed design and servicesduring construction of the project wereawarded subsequently to Conestoga-Rovers &Associates in December 2006.

Amembrane prequalification processwas completed in May 2007 with the

award to GE Water and Process Tech-nologies (formerly Zenon Environmen-tal Inc.) based on extensive technicalreview, review of existing installationsand competitive price quotations.

Design and construction of the ex-pansion project was completed over a pe-riod of approximately 24 months. Thetimeline of significant project milestonesis provided in Table 2.

Integration of MBR systemA number of modifications were

completed to accommodate the MBRtreatment system during construction.

Detailed review by the membrane sup-plier at the initial design stage of theproject is recommended to minimizemodifications required during laterstages of construction. Successful inte-gration of the MBR treatment systemalso requires careful consideration of theexisting facilities.

Several examples of the integration is-sues at the Kilworth WPCP during con-struction are provided.

Prior to the upgrade, the New Plantconsisted of two parallel treatment trains(aeration and secondary clarifiers). Sincethe New Plant aeration tanks were re-tained for the MBR expansion, hydraulicconnection was needed between the twoaeration tanks to accommodate flow con-ditions. Both a below-operating level con-nection and an overflow weir wereprovided between the tanks to achieve hy-draulic connection.

One of the consequences of the non-optimum position of the below-operatinglevel hydraulic connection is that there isa reduced operating band for the aerationtank level and therefore, the permeatepump set-points also.

MBR tanks was located perpendicular tothe MBR support beams (Figure 2) to in-crease flow across the MBR cassettes.Since the clearance between the MBRsupport beams and the membrane tankwater surface during operation is limited,there is a tendency for some foam to accu-mulate between the MBR support beams.

Backup power for the treatment plantwas provided by a 175 kW generator. Al-though several electrical upgrades werecompleted (i.e., splitting of essential/non-essential loads, new motor control cen-

tres, new distribution panels), the designapproach was based on the reuse of theexisting backup generator for the MBRupgrade and expansion. As a result, there-start procedure for the MBR systemafter loss of power was customized toavoid amperage spikes that could not behandled by the existing generator.

The MBR system is controlled bymultiple pneumatic valves for membraneaeration and air-scour sequences. Sincethe plant site is located in close proximityto residential and recreational areas, si-

lencers were added to these air-actuatedvalves to mitigate noise impacts. The newblowers provided for membrane aerationdid not present any additional noise issue.

Start-up performanceThe membranes were commissioned

in November 2008. Significant benefitwas realized by keeping all existing plantcomponents operational during construc-tion and commissioning of the MBR sys-tem. Initial control and performancetesting of the MBR system was conductedwith recirculation of the MBR effluentback to the existing treatment system.

Permeate samples were collected tomonitor membrane performance duringstart-up. During this period, the concen-trations of conventional parameters in thepermeate from the MBR treatment sys-tem were typically less than the re-portable detection limit for eachparameter. The MBR system also suc-cessfully met effluent requirements dur-ing a 72-hour stress test.

Environmental Protection

When an environmental as-sessment of one ofATCOElectric’s substations inAlberta determined that

the site was at high risk, the companylooked for a solution that would be mostcompatible with the site.

ATCO serves more than 179,000 cus-tomers in northern and east-central Al-berta which are resource-rich areas of theprovince where electricity is an essentialcomponent of industrial development.An environmental assessment was car-ried out on a substation built in the early1980s south of Valleyview, on the banksof the Little Smokey River. This substa-tion consists of two transformers, eachcontaining approximately 70,000 litres ofmineral oil.

The assessment deemed the site to beat high risk due to the amount of oil in thetransformers and their location near theriver. Due to the possibility of damage to

the environment and monetary penaltiesthat this could bring,ATCO quickly cameto the conclusion that it was in its best in-terest to find a preventive secondary oilspill containment solution.

This substation supplies a largeamount of electricity in northernAlbertaso it would not be possible to take thetwo transformers off-line to install a sec-ondary containment system.

After researching various types of sec-ondary oil containment systems, ATCOconcluded that the Sorbweb™Plus systemoffered by Albarrie Canada Ltd. was the

logical solution for complete containment.SorbwebPlus is a no-maintenance,

passive system that can be installedaround existing energized transformersand will function in all severe weatherconditions. It is designed to contain110% of the volume of oil within thetransformers along with a historical 24-hour rainfall over the past 25 years.

During the installation of the second-ary oil system, all cable trays within theperimeter of the containment system hadto be taken into account, including atrenwa (concrete subsurface cable tray).

Given the area that was available for thesystem, it was also necessary to lower thegrounding grid from 0.5 m to 1.0 m. Allthis had to be accomplished while thetransformers were live.As a firewall was to be installed be-

tween the two transformers, two contain-

ment systems needed to be built, one foreach transformer. Each containment sys-tem has a capacity of 110% of the 70,000litres of oil within the transformer.The substation slopes towards the

river at a three-degree angle, but the ex-cavation of the containment systemwould have to be level, not following thecontour of the land, or else the oil wouldspill out of one side.The soils were determined by an inde-

pendent laboratory to be permeable,therefore no special drainage system hadto be designed. The SorbwebPlus systemis designed to allow the permeation ofwater in the form of precipitation ormelted snow into the subsoil. In caseswhere the soil is impermeable, a drainagesystem can be built underneath the sys-tem to move the water away.During excavation, the cable trays that

ran along the surface of the containmenthad to be supported with wooden planks.On reaching the 0.5-m depth, thegrounding grid was exposed so therewould be no damage to the grid. The gridwas made visible so further excavationcould be made down to the 1-m depth.In between the two secondary oil con-

tainments, further excavation was neces-sary to allow for a foundation that wouldsupport the firewall. The two contain-ment systems would abut the foundationof the firewall.A surface cable tray ran through the

firewall foundation so allowance wasmade for passage of the cable tray throughthe foundation.This would later be sealedto prevent any seepage of oil from onecontainment system to the other.Slings lifted the cables in the trenwa,

and the trenwa was lined with the oil mat

to prevent any seepage of oil into theground, as the bottom of the trenwa wasearth. Once lined, the cables were thenreplaced and the top of the trenwa wassealed with concrete lids.When excavation was completed, the

grounding grid was dropped to the 1-mdepth and, as the substation had beenbuilt in the early 1980s, upgrading to thegrounding grid was done at the sametime.The excavated areas were then in-

stalled with the SorbwebPlus system,which includes the impermeable lineraround the perimeter and the special oilmat at the bottom of the containment.The oil mat will seal on contact with oil,but, if no oil is present, it will allow thepassage of water into the subsoil.Once the containment system was in-

stalled, rock was added. The rock was 19mm to 38 mm in diameter, which typi-cally gives a void area of 40-45%. Thisvoid area is where the 110% of oil withinthe transformer and the 25-year, 24-hourrainfall event will be contained in theevent of a catastrophe. The rock will alsoquench any fire should it occur.The final task was to erect the fire-

wall on the foundation that had beenbuilt for this purpose. The high risk forthis substation was now eliminated.

Project Management

Infrastructure projects are subjectto a screening process during theenvironmental assessment stage inorder to assess potential environ-

mental approval requirements. Most ofthese requirements can be identifiedduring the preliminary design phase,with approval applications being madeduring the detailed design phase. Themajority of these approvals containmonitoring and mitigation conditionsthat must be implemented prior to, dur-ing and after construction activities.

Obtaining environmental approvalsduring the design phase involves multi-disciplinary studies of the hydrogeologi-cal, hydrological, ecological, geomorphic,socio-economic, air and noise, archaeo-logical/cultural and agricultural settingsthat are proportional to the scale and com-plexity of the undertaking and the poten-tial environmental effects it presents.

These studies assist in appropriately eval-uating the risks to local environmental re-ceptors.

For various infrastructure projects, ap-provals are sought from the provincialand federal regulatory agencies as well asthe local conservation authority and eventhe regional and local municipalities forspecific issues. Examples of some majorapproval requirements include:1. Ministry of the EnvironmentProject approval is required from the

Ministry of Environment, i.e., Certifi-cate of Approval for municipal waterand sewage works.

In Ontario, a Permit to Take Water(PTTW) is required under Section 34 ofthe Ontario Water Resources Act(OWRA) for any surface or ground-water taking that exceeds 50,000 L/day.Dewatering at construction sites re-quires disposal of the pumped ground-water, which requires approval from theMinistry of the Environment, the localconservation authority, the Ministry ofNatural Resources and the regional andlocal municipalities.

Furthermore, the Ontario Environ-

mental ProtectionAct (EPA), which pro-vides for the protection and conservationof the natural environment, is referencedwhen dealing with other environmentalissues that arise during a project’s imple-mentation such as the discovery of con-taminated soil or groundwater.

2. Ministry of Natural ResourcesThe Ministry of Natural Resources

(MNR) is the lead agency responsiblefor the management of fish resources inOntario. MNR approval is requiredunder the Public Lands Act as well asthe Lakes and Rivers Improvement Actfor the construction, decommissioningor alteration of dam structures that holdback water in streams, rivers, lakes orponds, thereby affecting flows.3. Fisheries and Oceans CanadaFisheries and Oceans Canada is the

implementing agency of the FederalFisheries Act. Section 35 (2) of the Actprohibits the harmful alteration, disrup-tion and destruction (HADD) of fishhabitat as well as the release of sub-stances deleterious to fish habitat. Wherea HADD cannot be avoided, a Letter ofAuthorization may be issued by Fisheriesand Oceans Canada detailing requiredmitigation and habitat compensationmeasures, thus triggering the CanadianEnvironmental Assessment Act (CEAA)review process if applicable.

of water discharged from dewatering operations may result in apotential HADD. The potential for requiring approval needs tobe assessed in these situations prior to dewatering discharge.

4. Transport Canada/Canadian Coast GuardThe Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA) provides for

the protection of the public right of navigation and regulatingstructures that interfere with navigation such as dams, bridgesand piers. The Act requires approval from Fisheries and OceansCanada’s Canadian Coast Guard before any work is “built orplaced in, on, over, under, through or across any navigable water.”

5. Conservation authoritiesConservation authority (CA) approval is required (under dif-

ferent regulations for different CAs) for work involving the de-velopment, interference with wetlands and alterations toshorelines and watercourses (e.g. O. Reg. 166/06 for Torontoand Region Conservation Authority).Also, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority

(TRCA), for example, has a Level III Agreement with Fisheriesand Oceans Canada to identify fish habitat impacts within itswatershed. TRCA provides co-ordination and assistance to Fish-eries and Oceans Canada for the review and assessment of proj-ects that may affect fish and/or fish habitat.

6. Regional and local municipalitiesOften the regional municipality owns road allowances and is

responsible for the storm drainage systems in the road allowance.The discharge of water (e.g. from dewatering systems) to the re-gional storm sewers requires approval from the region. Similarly,local municipalities own storm sewers adjacent to local roads orin subdivisions and need to be consulted regarding discharge totheir systems.

7. Other agencies and applicable legislationInvolvement of other agencies may be required, depending

on the project’s location. Examples of legislation that may applyin Ontario include the Niagara Escarpment Planning and De-velopment Act, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, theOak Ridges Moraine Protection Act and the Greenbelt Act.It is critically important to integrate multidisciplinary stud-

ies and translate them into an understanding of the naturalecosystem, the stress expected during construction and the pre-dictive long-term effects. This understanding is achievedthrough the collection of robust scientific field data, which,along with approval conditions, is used to develop an Envi-ronmental Management Plan (EMP) aimed at mitigating po-tential stresses to the natural environment as well as monitoringthe success of these mitigation measures.The EMP is finalized through several iterations and includes

review comments received from the various regulatory agencies,ultimately tying it within the regulatory framework through theissuance of approvals.Once the approvals are obtained, compliance with the EMP

during the project implementation phase is a rigorous processdue to the multidisciplinary tasks, the scientific nature of thereporting and the integration of the overall findings into reader-friendly compliance reports. Managing and integrating workfrom the various specialized fields is a significant task that it-self deserves independent consideration within the roles andresponsibilities of the project. This role complements the ex-isting project manager’s functions in delivering the project ef-fectively.

Project-related environmental issues that are“unforeseen” to the infrastructure projectmanager may well be foreseeable to theenvironmental professional. In fact, timeinvested in proactive environmental plan-ning and management will result in costand reputation savings down the line.However, that is not to say that un-

foreseeable environmental issues cannotstill arise during the project implemen-tation phase; they often do. Examplesinclude the discovery of contaminatedsoils and groundwater, undergroundstorage tanks requiring removal, and en-gineering design/scope changes leadingto dewatering requirements. When suchissues arise, the project should undergoan assessment with input from an envi-ronmental professional to determineproject implications.Dealing with these issues as early as

possible (as opposed to later on or notat all) will minimize project risks in

terms of increased project costs, con-struction/contractor delays, impositionof stressful deadlines, financial disputesand potential claims.

The relationship between the infra-structure project manager and the envi-ronmental professional has evolved overthe last several years. Irrespective offormal training in environmental issues,infrastructure project managers arequickly becoming conversant in the lan-guage needed to collaborate with envi-ronmental professionals, regulators andthe public about any issues with poten-tial to affect their projects.Industry is recognizing this shift as a

new way of doing business, and as a re-sult the M.O. (method of operation) ofthe 21st century project manager ischanging. This is evidenced by the fact

that most engineering programs nowoffer or require courses in environmen-tal law or compliance.With the rise of the green economy

and society’s attitude and awarenessshift towards environmental issues,demonstrating proactive environmentalplanning and management on infra-structure projects, as a mainstay busi-ness model, not only strengthensrelationships with clients and regulators,but allows the company to present abrand of corporate socio-environmentalresponsibility, which enhances publicand marketing optics.Although creating provisions for envi-

ronmental involvement throughout a proj-ect may be a relatively new concept,experience has shown that, in the long run,this proactive measure works to the bene-fit of the project in the form of reduceduncertainty and surprises as well as im-proved transition and flow of the project.

Pumping Systems

Construction began in September2005 and the target date for the line tobe fully in service is November 30,2009. Regional plans had called for aline to be completed by 2006. TheCanada Line is not an Olympic project,but it must be completed on schedule inorder to avoid major construction duringthe games in 2010. The addition of thelink to the rapid transit network makes anew and different kind of traffic plan-ning possible for the Olympic events.

The project’s pumping systemThe Flygt pumping system was cho-

sen by the design-consultant groupSNC-Lavalin for all the sewage andstorm pumping systems along the line.The criteria were pumping reliability,serviceability and experience, as well aslong-term lifecycle costs, as the CanadaLine is projected to serve the region forthe next 50 to 100 years. The pumpingsystems consist of pumps, accessoriesand the Flygt APP521 controller on themajority of the stations.

One of the major challenges was thedesign of the Bored Tunnel pumping sta-tions located in the deepest section of thetunnel underneath False Creek. Two of thefour pump stations have to be right belowthe rail tracks with very limited space.

Numerous meetings were arrangedbetween SNC-Lavalin and ITT Water &Wastewater Vancouver branch to come upwith a viable solution. The Flygt NZ con-figuration was finally chosen and had tobe engineered with the assistance of ITT’stechnical department in Montreal.

Of all the pumping stations through-out the Canada Line, these Bored Tun-nel sump stations are the most criticalfor storm and flood control. The instal-lation is unusual, but befitting the proj-ect is the milestone production of thethree millionth Flygt pump, which isdestined to be used in the Bored Tunnelsump application.

Tony Santos, Don Chin andMoss Martinez are withITTWater &Wastewater.For more information,


Arapid transit link connectingdowntown Vancouver, BritishColumbia, with Richmondand the Vancouver Interna-

tional Airport has been in the planningstage for decades. The new Canada Linewill run, separated from traffic and on ded-icated rails, north-south from the emerg-ing transportation hub at Waterfront Centreto the heart of Richmond’s civic precinctand to Sea Island, home to the airport.

When the link is complete in late2009, it will be a fast, frequent and veryreliable service with peak-hour train fre-quency of every six minutes.

The Canada Line will provide addi-tional transportation capacity where it isneither practical nor desirable to expandroads and bridges. The area betweendowntown Vancouver and downtownRichmond is one of the busiest trans-portation corridors in Greater Vancouver,and home to one-third of the region’sjobs and 20% of its population.

The project is being funded by thegovernments of Canada and British Co-lumbia, the Greater Vancouver Trans-portation Authority (TransLink) andVancouver Airport Authority, and it isalso supported by the Cities of Vancou-ver and Richmond.

The technology is automated lightmetro system with an approximate linelength of 19 km. There will be 16 sta-tions and an estimated 100,000 riderswill use the system daily in 2010, equiv-alent to the road capacity of 10 majorlanes. The cost will be approximately $2billion in 2003 dollars.

This project marked the threemillionth Flygt pump sold.

project. The landfill area receivednearly record snowfall accumulation inthe winter of 2007-08 and near-recordprecipitation in the summer of 2008.Managing the surface water runoff dur-ing the spring melt and wet summerdays was a significant challenge.

Areas where the sand sub-grade basehad been prepared in advance of the linerplacement were washed out during thesummer storms. The spring melt alsowashed out the granular base materialunderneath the access travel paths. As aresult, travel paths on the steeper slopeshad to be redesigned, incorporating atextured EL6030 geomembrane material.

Despite all the challenges, the EnviroLiner cap is now in place on two sec-tions of the Ottawa landfill. AlbertShamess, director of solid waste serv-

ices for the City of Ottawa, said in aninterview that even before the cap wasfully installed, it was working to reduceleachate runoff from the landfill.

He is also pleased with the bonusservice the cap is providing: it is actingas a barrier to the passive venting oflandfill gas through the surface of thewaste mound, gas that was not beingcaptured by the active landfill gas col-lection system.

The new system of capturing thelandfill gas under the cap and conveyingit to the gas collection system has in-creased the volume of landfill gas col-lected. That, in turn, has increased theelectrical power generated from the gas.

In 15 years or so, when Ottawa needsmore landfill space, the cap will comeoff and Stages 3 and 4 of the Trail Road

landfill will go back into action. Untilthen, the cap will do its job.

world was plunged into the worst eco-nomic crisis of my generation. Despitethis, I feel an inner sense of calm and goodfortune that can’t seem to be shaken.

Penny Davey, EnvironmentalScience & Engineering

I can sum up my feelings prior to theBolivia Country Tour in two simplewords…..eager anticipation. Very fewpeople are given the chance to see thewater and sanitation work that we havesupported through our fundraising ef-forts here in Canada. I was one of thelucky few.When I arrived in Bolivia, I was cap-

tivated by how picturesque the countrywas, not only in terms of the lush greensettings in Santa Cruz but also in termsof the desert-like areas approachingCochabamba. The scenery was mesmer-izing, but perhaps even more profoundwas the genuine kindness shown to ourgroup from the townspeople in the com-munities of Hardeman, Cuchumuela,and Chaqui Kjocha. They made it clearto us that they treasured their relation-ship withWater For People, and were ap-preciative of our collective efforts.I was amazed by their resolve to pro-

vide a better future for their children.Alejandrina, a local woman in VillaRivero, shared a hope that her childrenand grandchildren, like Miguel, wouldbe given every opportunity to grow,

Myinterest inWater for Peo-ple began many years agoat a BCWWA spring con-ference. The appalling

world statistics concerning access to safedrinking water and sanitation and the helpWater for People was providing reallymoved me. It made perfect sense to methat a charity that had grown from the en-gineers and scientists working in thewater treatment field would be among thebest at tackling these terrible problems.In fact, 97 % of allWater for People sup-ported water systems are still delivering -an unheard-of success rate in the sector.It is one thing to read and hear about

the conditions in developing countries;it is quite another to see it all first hand.The experience of travelling in-countryand touringWater for People’s work wastruly an experience I will never forget.Bolivia is a beautiful but poor and

troubled country. I had the opportunity ofvisiting communities and hearing howhaving safe drinking water and sanitationhas or will change their lives. I saw acommunity that had both water and verynice composting toilets. The second vil-lage had water and was soon to have san-itation. Residents of the final villagewere still walking 3 km for water butwere soon to have a water tap outsidetheir rather humble mud brick homes.The village awaiting its water had al-

ready been disappointed and had lostmoney through a failed attempt at pro-viding water by another organization inthe early 1990s. Fifteen more years ofwalking 3 km to get water and whoknows how many illnesses from drink-ing unsafe water! I think the whole vil-lage was there crowding around towelcome us and to proudly show us howthey have organized themselves to com-plete the project and keep it running.I will never forget the beautiful chil-

dren in Bolivia. In one village a womannoticed me smiling at her baby, andhanded him to me to hold. Holding thislovely little guy in my arms, a sense ofhappiness came over me, knowing he waslikely to have a much healthier and easierlife now because ofWater for People.Soon after my return from Bolivia the

thrive, and prosper in the future. Ale-jandrina knew that safe water and sani-tation were important keys to makingthis hope a reality.Looking back on the tour, my mind

is filled with the images of the warmand hardworking people of Bolivia,each sacrificing for the benefit of abright future for their children. I thinkabout the extraordinary staff of WaterFor People, and their partner NGOs,each working so diligently to help en-sure that the program work is success-ful. I reminisce about the children in thecommunities we visited and I am en-couraged to know that they will have anopportunity to grow up and experiencelife to its fullest. There is still muchwork to do, for certain, but I know afterseeing it with my own eyes, that WaterFor People is making a positive impactin the communities where we work.Tony Petrucci, CH2M HILL Canada,President, Water For People - Canada

Others have eloquently expressed thekindness and sincerity of the Bolivianpeople, the competent staff ofWater ForPeople - Bolivia (Agua para el Pueblo)and its partner NGOs, and the magnifi-cent beauty of the country. I could notagree more. I really wanted to see thebricks and mortar thatWater For People- Canada has helped to provide. Follow-

ing my return to Canada, I looked backat our visit to Bolivia and there weretwo things that truly stand out. Thething is, these two things have very lit-tle to do with bricks and mortar.We visited a Bolivian community by

the name of Hardeman, in the Munici-pality of San Pedro. In Hardeman, themajor focus of Water For People’s workis in health education - hygiene prac-tices and in providing Eco-san latrinesfor each family.The Health Promotion Committee

demonstrated, through the use of posters,how they explain to all community mem-bers the importance of personal hygieneand the proper way to wash hands, etc.They took us on a tour of the communityto show us each of the Eco-san latrinesthat Water For People supported. Inmany cases the new latrine was the best-constructed facility the family owned,and, also, the most decorated.We are all aware of the term build-

ing community capacity. This trip al-lowed us to experience what buildingcommunity capacity is all about.We were advised that we would be

attending a meeting withWater For Peo-ple NGO partners in the Municipalityof Tiraque, one of the regional areas inBolivia where program work is focused.This meeting was a true “eye-opener.”It was conducted in Spanish, with trans-lation provided by Water For Peoplestaff. The presentation was extremelyprofessional, complete with PowerPointimages and technical handouts.I have previously served as the Direc-

tor of a large Canadian Water and Sew-erage Utility. The planning inTiraque forthe present year and following years forprogram work was at least equal, if notexceeding, what I was familiar with inCanada. The presentation inTiraque pro-vided detailed information on the planand capital budget to bring water to thecommunity of Chaqui Kjocha (elevation

4,300 metres). The budget included esti-mates for all labour, materials, andequipment for a head works (watercatchment) structure; an 8,000-metrePVC water transmission line (2-1/2 “);and, concrete storage tank and pressurebreak stations along the pipeline route.We were told that the community was

and is pleased to work with Water ForPeople because it is program-focused notproject-focused, and thus, a greater im-pact can be made in the region by usingthe available resources more wisely.

I have one enduring memory of Bo-livia. I remember seeing, in some re-mote village, a young mother standingin front of us, as proud as any East Sidematron ruling over the social event ofthe year at her multi-million dollarapartment. She was so happy andproud. The odd thing is that she wasstanding in front of an outhouse.In Canada, if there are any outhouses

left, they are nondescript and hidden outback. The Bolivian outhouse I saw wastall, in the centre of the yard, and it wasthe centrepiece of the backyard. It wasattractively painted, had vines growingup the side, and it was shaded by severalleafy trees. A winding gravel path withfloral borders led from the front door ofthe house to the front door of the house.It isn’t the outhouse that’s important,

but the change of mindset. They havegone from using the fields or the back-yard to using a method that is not onlysafe and hygienic, but more environ-mentally friendly than my municipalsystem, which may clean the material,but then throws it away.To me, the important and personally

satisfying prospect is that this is notabout only one outhouse. What is mostexciting to me is the increased feeling

of self worth and the confidence andknowledge this lady has that she is pro-viding a healthier home for her family.She wasn’t smiling, she was glow-

ing. That image left me with the im-pression that she knew she was doingthe right thing for her family, and thefact that they did it themselves (andwould continue to do so).

Edgar Vye, retired

Knowing that Bolivia is among thepoorest countries in the western hemi-sphere, I went with certain precon-ceived expectations. Quite to thecontrary, what I found was a very beau-tiful land with people who were thefriendliest and most hospitable that Ihave ever met. Many of the communi-ties we visited were very remote and ob-viously poor, but the people weredignified, proud, and very determinedto improve their situation (for their chil-dren and for the community).In every community we visited, we

were greeted as if we were long lost fam-ily members or royal dignitaries. Againand again, we were told that Water ForPeople is unique among the groups thatthese communities have worked withover the years;WFP gets things done, ontime and with minimal bureaucracy. Thisdegree of efficiency is truly appreciatedby people who have to work very hard allday to scrape a living from the land.Bolivia is a country in transition and

Bolivians are working hard for a betterlife: Water For People has been part ofthis endeavor since 1992. From what Isaw during this brief visit, by workingwith Bolivians to ensure water andbasic sanitation needs are met, WFP ismaking a difference and is contributingto a much better future – for all of us!

In nature, rainfall is recognized as a life-giving asset. When we develop a natural site the asset too often becomes a runoff liability for the developer and all parties downstream.Traditional storm water ponds and infrastructure require expensive land area and are often over-taxed by runoff accumulations from many areas upstream.Large underground storm water tanks, using economical corrugated steel pipe systems, permits developers to manage storm water on-site without sacrificing valuable land or flooding their neighbours.

For creative storm water management solutions contact a CSPI member in your neighbourhood.
