2 Water Environment Federation Improving Water Quality for 75 Years Founded in 1928, the Water Environment Federation (WEF) is a not-for-profit technical and educational organization with members from varied disciplines who work toward the WEF vision of preservation and enhancement of the global water environment. The WEF network includes water quality professionals from 79 Member Associations in over 30 countries. For information on membership, publications, and conferences, contact Water Environment Federation 601 Wythe Street Alexandria, VA USA (703) IMPORTANT NOTICE The material presented in this publication has been prepared in accordance with generally recognized engineering principles and practices and is for general information only.

4 Manuals of Practice of the Water Environment Federation The WEF Technical Practice Committee (formerly the Committee on Sewage and Industrial Wastes Practice of the Federation of Sewage and Industrial Wastes Associations) was created by the Federation Board of Control on October 11, The primary function of the Committee is to originate and produce, through appropriate subcommittees, special publications dealing with technical aspects of the broad interests of the Federation. These publications are intended to provide background information through a review of technical practices and detailed procedures that research and experience have shown to be functional and practical.

9 Preface This sixth edition of this chapter was produced under the direction of Mike Nelson, Chair. The principal author of this chapter is Ken Schnaars. There have been several full-scale and current operational modifications and improvements to the primary treatment process since 1996 that have been included in this latest edition of the chapter. The latest upgraded primary treatment chapter includes new expanded discussions on primary sludge fermentation, enhanced primary treatment, dissolved air flotation primary systems, and combined grit removal/primary treatment processes. This revised chapter also provides a brief description about the ways that computer systems can assist with the operation of the primary treatment process. The primary treatment process appears to be a simple process to operate compared with other processes within a wastewater treatment plant; however, new advances to the primary treatment process are being made to improve removal efficiencies within the primary tanks and improve process reliability in downstream biological processes. For example, modifying the primary treatment process to a primary sludge fermentation system can increase the production of volatile fatty acids, which are known to play an important role in the success of the biological phosphorus removal process. Authors' and reviewers' efforts were supported by the following organizations: Montgomery Watson, Cleveland, Ohio New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Albany, New York Nolasco & Associates, Buenos Aires, Argentina Philadelphia City Government, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Weston & Sampson Engineers, Inc., Peabody, Massachusetts 9
