4 Project Approach Bench-Scale Testing Develop bench-scale testing protocol that simulates WTP performance plant match Evaluate alternate coagulant types, doses, and ph Evaluate need for, type, and required dosage of coagulant aid polymers, pre-oxidants, and PAC Goal is to assess optimal strategies for DBP precursor removal Holistic approach need to ensure that any strategy does not compromise other treatment goals

15 Project Approach Chemical Feed Evaluation In progress Site visit to assess existing facilities. Determine required storage and feed equipment capacities. Confirm compatibility of proposed changes. SCADA and Automation Evaluation Determine automation and SCADA system needs. Review SCADA system architecture at WWTP In progress Coordinate with any recommended process changes Example HMI Workstation

16 Preliminary Findings Conversion to ferric sulfate has enhanced TOC removal to 77% (66% prior to conversion) Conversion to ferric sulfate has reduced DBP formation (based on special samples) THMs are ~54% lower than 1 year ago (August 2016) HAAs are ~40% lower than 1 year ago (August 2016) Continue to investigate possible impacts of fullscale operations on DBP formation such as sludge collection system issues, process control, and chemical mixing

17 Schedule Aug 8 Aug 21 Oct 10 Nov 28 Notice to proceed Begin bench-scale testing Present bench-scale testing preliminary results Submit draft report Dec 12 Present draft DBP and SCADA evaluation recommendations

18 Questions and Discussion

19 WTP Sludge Removal System and Dewatering Facility

20 Project Approach A switch to an iron-based coagulant and additional PAC and potassium permanganate results in greater solids production. Residuals Collection System Assessment Evaluate existing equipment and coordinate with manufacturers Recommend improvements to enhance reliability Concept-level capital costs Residuals Production Estimates In progress In progress Critical to coordinate with DBP project

21 Project Approach 2-M Belt Filter Press Dewatering Alternatives New Dewatering Facility Thickening + Dewatering Relocate existing rotary drum thickener + dewatering Residuals lagoon Pending completion of prior tasks

22 Schedule Aug 8 Nov 1 Jan 15 Notice to proceed Preliminary DBP strategy informs possible range of residuals production Submit draft report

23 Questions and Discussion

24 UV Disinfection UV Disinfection is a physical process used for: Primary disinfection (i.e. CT requirements at the WTP) Advanced oxidation (UV AOP) UV does not produce a residual so a chemical disinfectant (free chlorine or chloramines) is also needed to provide a residual in the distribution system

25 UV Disinfection UV disinfection is effective for inactivation of bacteria, Giardia, and Crypto. UV disinfection is less effective for virus inactivation Log Inactivation Cryptosporidium Giardia Virus

26 Disinfection Mechanism Dimerization of DNA (thymine bases) Inability to Reproduce Bug is Non-infective UV does not kill pathogens Dimer Dimer 26

27 UV Disinfection Applications NC Public Water Supply has approved the use of UV disinfection for primary disinfection The City of Raleigh was first to obtain approval in 2013 UV can be part of a DBP control strategy Meet primary disinfection (CT) requirements at the WTP Reduces needed free chlorine contact time in WTP Monochloramine as secondary disinfectant However, free chlorine still has a place

28 UV Disinfection Applications Raw Water Feed free chlorine prior to filters for: Oxidation of iron and manganese Prevent filters from becoming biological Meet regulatory CT requirements for virus inactivation Ozone NaOCl NH 3 Ozone Contactor SuperPulsator GAC BioFilters Dual-Media Filters UV Disinfection To Distr. P Alt. NH 3 5-MG Storage Tank

29 If UV Disinfection Applied at SGWASA WTP Recommend continue feeding free chlorine in filter influent Move point of ammonia addition prior to chlorine contact tank to reduce free chlorine contact time Maintain ability for free chlorine disinfection as a backup UV Disinfection

30 If UV Disinfection Applied at SGWASA WTP Conceptual Capital Costs: $ million An updated SCADA system would be required UV Facility would be a deep structure to keep UV reactors full of water Impacts on WTP electrical system and standby power?
