8 Partnership Strategies Self-assessment and optimization Self-Assessment Category Disinfectant Residual Nitrification Chlorine and Chloramine Interaction Questions for Gauging Optimization Status Do disinfectant residual data meet the performance goals? Does the utility track sites that repeatedly have low disinfectant residuals? Are free ammonia, nitrite, and HPC tested routinely? Are action levels established? (and are procedures associated with these?) Are storage tanks monitored in areas lacking circulation? Are zone boundaries and dead ends monitored for nitrification? Does the system monitor and operate to minimize odors and other interaction by-products? Is free ammonia monitored where interaction may cause breakpoint issues? 15 Despite the benefits of THM control and persistence, chloramine disinfection has been problematic due to complexity in accurately managing NH 3 and chlorine dosage in distribution systems Introduction of ammonia can lead to nitrification as it is a nutrient to AOB s Over-chlorination can create chloramine variants which lead to taste and odor problems in drinking water (dichloramine and trichloramine) Low residual levels can also lead to costly mitigation efforts such as: Aggressive tank cycling Chlorine burns Water wasting or tank dumping Manual tank boosting Excessive sampling 16 Please consider the environment before printing. 8

9 Concentration (mg/l) 5:1 Cl 2 :NH 3 -N Chloramine Breakpoint Curve: Knowing where you are on the curve determines what action to take Ideal State of Chloramine Disinfection Cl 2 to NH 3 -N Ratio 17 Four criteria must be met for proper chloramine control in reservoirs: 1. Proper mixing to ensure a homogenous water body that will not stratify 2. Accurate dosing of ammonia and chlorine to ensure proper ratio given the position on the breakpoint curve 3. High energy mixing that ensures instantaneous reaction of introduced chemicals 4. Real-time monitoring and control logic to maintain or achieve equilibrium by responding to dynamic reservoir conditions 18 Please consider the environment before printing. 9

31 PAX Pilot Observations/Lessons Learned Equipment: The PAX Smart Controller and Water Quality Station equipment was reliable and accurate. The PAX alarm capabilities were excellent. We received text messages for all alarms. The equipment shutdown if specific conditions were met. Recommend system be incorporated in utility s SCADA system. For chemical addition to storage tanks consider the PAX Series 500 versus Series 400 mixers (dependent on tank size). 61 PAX Pilot Observations/Lessons Learned Chemical Set-points: The PAX RCS maintained residual chlorine levels consistent with target. On average we were able to maintain residuals within 0.2 ppm of the target. The ability to adjust ammonia feed rates based on ammonia levels in the storage tank. Chemical Usage: For our pilot study, there appeared to be a correlation between water and air temperatures, and chlorine demand in the WST. Chlorine demand increased as water and air temperatures rose and fell as water and air temperatures declined. This was particularly evident when air temperatures hovered above 95 degrees for two or more days. 62 Please consider the environment before printing. 31

32 PAX RCS Pilot Observations/Lessons Learned The Role of High Water Quality: As the pilot progressed, we became less concerned if the tank did not meet our daily drafting goal because we could maintain a good chlorine residual, and control ammonia and nitrite levels. Throughout the pilot we saved significant labor, time and water because we were able to maintain good water quality parameters, i.e. chlorine residual, ammonia, and nitrite levels throughout the distribution system. Have consistent water quality testing protocol and equipment. We used the Hach SL1000 and Chemkeys. Overall, the pilot was a great success. 63 Thank You ccogswell@loudounwater.org rjacobson@loudounwater.org 64 Please consider the environment before printing. 32

34 Rationale Distribution System Case Study will provide data and potential solutions to chronic and systemic low residuals challenges. Presentation will share approach taken by San Jose Water Company (SJWC) to define and begin solving low residuals problems in its Distribution System. 67 Learning Objectives Participants will be provided with tools to identify and solve chronic and systemic low residuals in tanks and reservoirs. 68 Please consider the environment before printing. 34

35 Agenda Assessing residual in SJWC s tanks and reservoirs Low hanging fruits in improving residuals in tanks and reservoirs Identifying strategic locations in distribution system for residual boosting Deploying manual and automated boosting in tanks and reservoirs 69 Partnership Role in Addressing Low Residuals Provided rationale to collect and analyze more data Provided actionable minimum residuals goals: >=0.2 mg/l free chlorine >=0.5 mg/l chloramine 70 Please consider the environment before printing. 35

36 Main Takeaways from Partnership Assessment Document procedures in assessing main breaks and taking corrective actions (C651-14). Deploy a Distribution System pressure monitoring network.

42 Efficient Mixing and Manual Boosting Needed to Complement Boosting Identified need for installing mixing and efficient manual boosting at all SJWC tanks Five ChemLockers in Service Mixing will include online Total Chlorine Monitoring through SCADA 83 Summary Chloraminated distribution systems require extensive routine monitoring of nitrification indicators. Optimization of disinfectant residuals in Tanks and Reservoir is likely to require a multifaceted approach. Actions to improve residuals include operational changes and capital investments. 84 Please consider the environment before printing. 42

44 Aqua Pennsylvania: 12MG Hillside Tank with consistently low residuals in warm weather has large influence on local distribution network in southeastern Pennsylvania In September 2015, the residual at the Hillside Tank was severely challenged with chronically low residuals Monoclor RCS pilot trailer was installed to test: Maintenance of residual Impact on distribution network Overall operating costs 87 Aqua Pennsylvania Monoclor RCS pilot trailer ran for two months and maintained desired chloramine residual through a seasonal water change Monoclor RCS trailer was installed during the 1 st week of Sept. (not an insignificant feat in a 120 foot tank) After running mixing and chemical addition for one week with little effect - tank taken to break-point to satisfy tank s existing chlorine demand In four days, the residuals steadily climbed from less than 0.5 ppm to above 1.5 ppm which was maintained through November 10 th 88 Please consider the environment before printing. 44
