Current through August 31, 2023
01.
Chemical Treatment
. Many chemicals in various forms can be applied
			 in wastewater treatment to aid in nutrient removal, pH adjustment, enhanced
			 clarification, and sludge conditioning. Chemicals must be evaluated for each
			 specific treatment process and must be compatible with other liquids, solids
			 and air treatment processes. Laboratory tests such as jar tests or pilot-scale
			 studies on actual process wastewater shall be used to select appropriate
			 chemicals and dosage ranges. (3-31-22)
a.
			 Phosphorus removal. Chemical phosphorus removal from wastewater involves the
			 addition of metal salts (aluminum or iron) or lime to wastewater to form
			 insoluble phosphate precipitates, removal of the precipitate from the
			 wastewater, and disposal of the precipitate with the settled sludge. Many
			 process options are available, and the designer shall select the chemical to
			 insolubilize the phosphorus, estimate the dosage requirements, and select the
			 point of chemical addition. (3-31-22)
b. Nitrogen Removal. Several chemical
			 processes have been used for nitrogen removal. The three (3) major processes
			 include breakpoint chlorination, selective ion exchange, and air stripping.
			 Although these processes are technically feasible ways of removing nitrogen,
			 the Department does not anticipate widespread use of chemicals for nitrogen
			 removal, and justification to do so shall be demonstrated in the Preliminary
			 Engineering Report. (3-31-22)
c. pH
			 Adjustment. A common chemical process used in wastewater treatment is pH
			 adjustment. Several methods are available to neutralize or adjust low pH
			 wastewater. The methods used shall be mixing acid wastes with lime slurries, or
			 adding the proper amount of concentrated caustic soda (NaOH) or soda ash
			 (Na2CO3) as determined in the
			 Preliminary Engineering Report. (3-31-22)
d. Enhanced Primary Clarification. When
			 settling aids are used during the primary clarification process to enhance
			 solids removal in the primary treatment process, the additional solids volume
			 shall be accounted for in pumping, solids handling, stabilization, and disposal
			 processes. The coagulant shall be added and mixed before the sedimentation
			 process. Flocculants, if used, shall be added after the coagulant. The design
			 shall provide for chemical addition points at several locations to give process
			 personnel the opportunity to adjust for optimum performance.

			 the holding tank. (3-31-22)
d. No
			 septage holding or transfer/storage tank shall be permitted within the one
			 hundred (100) year flood plain as defined and delineated by the flood insurance
			 rate maps published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
			 (3-31-22)
e. Odor controls shall be
			 provided to mitigate nuisance odor discharge during transfer. Odor control may
			 be attained by employing appropriate setback distances to neighboring
			 facilities, using appropriate air scrubbing technologies in conjunction with an
			 enclosed transfer station or other suitably engineered configuration that
			 provides assurances of minimal odor nuisances. (3-31-22)
f. The property is owned by the individual(s)
			 operating the septage transfer station, or the property owner has granted
			 permission to so use the property. (3-31-22)
