1 60 th Michigan Onsite Wastewater Conference Liquid Waste Processing Growing your Business in Tough Economic Times Thursday, January 13, :00

2 Did anyone read the description of what I am going to be speaking on?

3 Therese Wheaton s PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION : Pumping Businesses are controlling their own destiny by building Processing Facilities.

4 Therese Wheaton s PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION : Despite feelings of a questionable business future

5 Therese Wheaton s PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION : Pumpers are teaming up with regulators, providing for opportunity and economic growth.

6 Therese Wheaton s PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION : REALLY?

7 Find out more about how septic, grease trap and industrial waste problems have become opportunities in Michigan and across the USA.

8 Therese Wheaton s TOPIC # 1: Pumpers are teaming up with regulators, providing for opportunity and economic growth. You might need an interpreter!

9 There is an annual contest at Duke University defining a Contemporary Term POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

10 POLITICAL CORRECTNESS Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which hold forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of s*^# (poop) by the clean end ---Duke University

11 Working with Michigan Regulators is Simple! DNRE Approves Septage Waste Receiving Facility Operating Plans. You Can Study the 7 Operating Plans on the Michigan.gov website. Permit Water Discharge Permit Solid Waste Disposal Meet Local Ordinances & Requirements

12 There are 7 Privately Held Approved Septage Waste Receiving Facility Operating Plans in Michigan!

13 LETS LOOK AT THE PLANS!

14 WHY DO PUMPERS BECOME ENVIRONMENTALISTS? Annual Flows Price Per Gallon Annual Costs Convert Disposal Costs to Capital

15 WHO IS PLANNING TODAY? Regional Market Solvers Grease Trap Processors Industrial Waste Solutions Pumpers controlling tomorrow!

16 LIQUID WASTE TREATMENT

17 WATER QUALITY IS REGULATED TSS Total Suspended Solids FOG Fats, Oils & Grease BOD Biological Oxygen Demand CBOD Quick Test for BOD Operational Indicator ph Alkalinity or Acidity Range Metals for Solid or Liquid Discharge Combined Nitrogen; Phosphorus, Chloride, Sodium?

18 PHASE 1

19 Be Prepared! How Can We make the Process EASY? Prepare the Liquid Prior to Equalization!

20 PREPARATION GOALS Homogenize Loads in Tanks This Makes Each Batches Similar IN: Offload Truck at GPM Equalize / Mix / Agitate OUT: Process Waste GPM Homogenizes your Solid and Liquid Results Minimizes i i your Chemical Use $$$$$

21 HOW TO OFFLOAD TRUCKS

22 WEATHER FRIENDLY DISCHARGE DRIVE THROUGH

23 SCREENING REDUCE PARTICLES TO 3/8

24 SCREENING PRE-ENGINEERED ENGINEERED RECEIVING

25 SCREENING / RECEIVING REDUCE PARTICLES TO 3/8

26 SCREENING MANUAL, BUT EFFECTIVE!

27 GRINDING FROM FLOODED SUCTION GRIT TANKS

28 GRIT REMOVAL YOU MAY FIND: YARDS OF GRIT PER MILLION

29 BIO-FUEL FROM BROWN GREASE

30 PHASE 2

31 WHY IS EQUALIZATION & STORAGE IMPORTANT? Attenuates the Flow Minimizes Human Error Provides for a Consistent Result Buffers Off-Loading & Operations Allows for a More Automated t Result Equalization Optimizes Chemical Use Lack of Water Quality Can Shut You Down! WATER QUALITY KEEPS YOUR DOORS OPEN!

32 THERESE S RULE DETERMINE YOUR DAILY FLOW BUILD TWO TANKS

33 MODULATE YOUR EQUALIZATION FOR GROWTH MOST FACILITIES GROW QUICKLY!

34 TANKS AROUND THE USA

35 TANKS AROUND THE USA

36 TANKS AROUND THE USA CAN YOU BURY THEM UNDERGROUND? TEMPERATURE MATTERS

37 MICHIGAN CLIMATE Separation is optimized when temperature is controlled!

38 TANKS

39 AEROBIC PROCESSES

40 ANAEROBIC PROCESSES Methane Gas Production Alternative

41 MIXING Make good choices for optimum performance!

42 MIXING

43 MIXING GONE WILD!

44 PHASE 3

45 PHASE 3 Pump with VFD to the Dewatering!

46 PHASE 3 ph Monitoring vs. ph Guess work

47 PHASE 3 Polymer is Used for Separation!

48 PHASE 4

49 NATIONALLY, DEWATERING IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR LIQUID WASTE PROCESSING Dewatering Containers Screw Presses Plate & Frame Rotary Fan Presses Belt Filter Presses

50 DEWATERING ACROSS AMERICA New or Used Plate & Frame Presses

51 DEWATERING ACROSS AMERICA Screw Press

52 DEWATERING ACROSS AMERICA Rotary Fan Press

53 DEWATERING ACROSS AMERICA Gravity Belt Thickeners Reduce Volume to 20-30%!

54 DEWATERING ACROSS AMERICA Belt Presses Reduce the Volume to 5-10%!

55 DEWATERING ACROSS AMERICA Dewatering Can be Pre-Engineered & Mobile!

56 DEWATERING ACROSS AMERICA Dewatering and/or Polishing 2010 Case Study

57 DEWATERING CONTAINER FILTER Simple to Learn Simple to Operate Simple to Maintain HMWPE for all Wetted Parts!

58 WHAT CHANGE SHOULD WE EXPECT? MAKING SEWERABLE WATER

59 DEWATERING PROCESS COMPARISON

60 DEWATERING PROCESS COMPARISON CHEMICAL ADDITION & PUMPING

61 DEWATERING PROCESS COMPARISON PRODUCE A SOLID WASTE

62 DISCHARGE A VIABLE WATER QUALITY

63 2010 CASE STUDY PUMPER COVER STORY / JUNE, 2010

64 POLYWICK DEWATERING CONTAINERS USED FOR WATER POLISHING Some Plants Must Get Dry Solids Facilities Compromise Solids for Water Quality Facilities Compromise Water Quality for Solids Total Suspended d Solids Range: ppm Problems Arise with Increased Plant Size Disposal Fees Sometimes Dictate Costs Water Quality Standards are HIGH (low values) Final Clarifiers are Costly

65 2010 CASE STUDY Influent to PolyWick GPM

66 2010 CASE STUDY Captured TSS is Inside the Container

67 2010 CASE STUDY TSS Liquid Inside the PolyWick Is Re-circulated

68 2010 CASE STUDY Clean Effluent is Pumped to Discharge Storage

69 2010 CASE STUDY Effluent of PolyWick

70 IMPROVED WATER QUALITY

71 MODULATE FOR GROWTH RECEIVING/DE-GRIT + SCREENING + EQUALIZATION + DEWATER + ODOR CONTROL

72 LOOKING AT THE LARGE PICTURE STRESS RELIEVERS? Use Pre-Manufactured / Pre-Engineered Perform Your Site Work New verses Used Location & Freight Costs Repair & Modification Costs Choose Experience
