Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 370 - ILLINOIS RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR SEWAGE WORKS › Subpart J - DISINFECTION › Section 370.1022 - Ultraviolet Disinfection

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Because operating data and experience with this process is
				  not well established, expected performance of the ultraviolet disinfection
				  units shall be based upon either experience at similar full scale installations
				  or thoroughly documented prototype testing with the particular wastewater. Use
				  of this process should be limited to high quality effluent having at least 65%
				  ultraviolet radiation transmittance at 254 nanometers wave length and BOD and
				  suspended solids concentrations no greater than 30 mg/l at any time. Projects
				  will be evaluated by the Agency on the basis of the factors set out in Section
				  370.530(b).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 370 - ILLINOIS RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR SEWAGE WORKS › Subpart J - DISINFECTION › Section 370.1080 - Sampling and Testing

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Facilities shall be included for collecting samples, as monitoring requirements
				warrant, of the disinfected effluent.
b) Where chlorine disinfection is used,
				equipment shall be provided for measuring chlorine residual using accepted test
				procedures.
c) Where required by
				the Agency, equipment shall also be provided for measuring fecal coliform using
				accepted test procedures.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 370 - ILLINOIS RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR SEWAGE WORKS › Subpart K - TERTIARY FILTRATION › Section 370.1110 - Type

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Granular media
				filtration is considered to include the following type units:
1) High rate single, dual and multi-media of
				either the pressure or gravity type with facilities for backwashing.
2) Low rate sand filters dosed intermittently
				or periodically.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 370 - ILLINOIS RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR SEWAGE WORKS › Subpart K - TERTIARY FILTRATION › Section 370.1120 - High Rate Filtration

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Design Considerations
Care should be given in the selection of pumping equipment
				  ahead of filter units to minimize shearing of flow particles. Consideration
				  should be given in the plant design to providing flow-equalization facilities
				  to moderate filter influent quality and quantity.
b) Pretreatment
A positive method shall be provided to control the suspended
				  solids loading to the filters. Equipment for the feeding of chemical coagulant
				  aids prior to secondary settling shall be provided unless other equally
				  effective means of suspended solids control are used.
c) Multiple Units
Multiple units shall be provided. At least three units should
				  be provided. Units shall be capable of independent operation and
				  maintenance.
d) Filtration
				Rates
The peak hourly flow rate applied to the filter shall not
				  exceed 5 gpm/sq. ft. of filter area, computed with one unit out of
				  service.
1) Rate Controls
Controls shall be provided which allow adjustment and control
				  of the rate of flow to each filter unit.
2) Flow Measurement
The flow to each filter shall be monitored by indicating
				  equipment.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 370 - ILLINOIS RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR SEWAGE WORKS › Subpart K - TERTIARY FILTRATION › Section 370.1130 - Low Rate Intermittent or Periodically Dosed Sand Filters

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Applicability
1) Intermittent sand filters may be used to
				polish secondary effluents. The process removes residual suspended solids and
				soluble biochemical oxygen demand and converts ammonia to nitrate. (See Section
				370.1210(b).)
2) Cold weather operational problems may
				preclude the use of this process unless the influent temperature to the filter
				is adequate to allow efficient filter operation necessary to meet the
				applicable effluent standards.
3)
				Because of manual labor necessary to clean, maintain and replace sand on the
				filters, the application is usually limited to small waste treatment
				plants.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 370 - ILLINOIS RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR SEWAGE WORKS › Subpart L - NUTRIENT REMOVAL › Section 370.1200 - Phosphorus Removal by Chemical Treatment

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) General
1) Method
Addition of lime or the salts of aluminum or iron may be used
				  for the chemical removal of soluble phosphorus. The phosphorus reacts with the
				  calcium, aluminum or iron ions to form insoluble compounds. These insoluble
				  compounds may be flocculated with or without the addition of a coagulant aid
				  such as a polyelectrolyte to facilitate separation by sedimentation.
2) Design Basis
A) Preliminary Testing
Laboratory, pilot or full-scale trial of various chemical
				  feed systems and treatment processes are recommended to determine the
				  achievable performance level, cost-effective design criteria, and ranges of
				  required chemical dosages.
B) System Flexibility
Systems shall be designed with sufficient flexibility to
				  allow for several operational adjustments in chemical feed location, chemical
				  feed rates, and for feeding alternate chemical compounds.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 370 - ILLINOIS RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR SEWAGE WORKS › Subpart L - NUTRIENT REMOVAL › Section 370.1210 - Ammonia Control

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				General
Ammonia control can be accomplished by physical, chemical,
				  biological and ion-exchange techniques. These criteria contain design standards
				  for a limited number of biological types and configurations of ammonia control
				  systems. Other types and configuration of systems will be evaluated in
				  accordance with Section
				  370.520(b).
1) Process Selection
A) Biological systems, normally used to
				accomplish secondary levels of treatment, may be adapted to function as
				nitrification systems. In applications of the fixed growth processes staged
				biological treatment is normally provided. The single stage activated sludge
				process has been found to be reliable for nitrification and is more commonly
				used than the two-stage activated sludge process.
B) Because operating data and experience for
				the fixed growth processes for nitrification are not well established, expected
				performance in all cases shall be based upon experience at similar full scale
				installations or thoroughly documented prototype testing with the particular
				wastewater. The design shall provide the necessary flexibility to perform
				satisfactorily within the range of expected waste characteristics and
				temperatures.

				plan for overcoming these problems and a revised timetable for hiring a
				qualified person for Chief Operator.
f) Discuss special operator training that may
				be necessary for new equipment or laboratory procedures. Personnel responsible
				for training the facility staff must be identified by name and title.
