DOING IT ALL
We have specialists on staff, but all operators can perform every job, says Pendleton. An operator may perform plant operations today, and tomorrow be land-applying, working in the lab, or doing groundswork and painting. Everyone is cross-trained, according to lead operator and laboratory manager Albert Solberg. They all have to learn how to run digester samples in the lab. After a little training, they pick it right up. Pendleton, who has been with the utility for 26 years, 12 at the treatment plant, holds a Grade IV wastewater license and Grade II wastewater collection and water distribution licenses. Solberg has been with the plant for 10 years and holds a Grade IV wastewater license. His duties include overseeing
NPDES permit tests, and he developed the plants laboratory quality assurance/quality control program from the ground up. Other staff members are: Operators Ryan Williams (5 years, Grade III) and Chris Maheu (7 years, Grade IV) Operator/maintenance worker Nicholas Tatum (2 years, Grade III) Operator trainees Jimmy Victory (12 years), Cody Raley (one year) and Ronnie Edmondson Williams assists with NPDES laboratory analyses. Maheu serves as the wastewater treatment plant safety coordinator, maintaining Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) les for the entire facility, including the lab. He also conducts monthly safety meetings. Operator trainees are involved in land application. The staff members are encouraged to attend biosolids conferences and learn as much as possible about the subject. They also take seminars and courses, such as activated sludge and basic math.

STEVEN HARDEMAN BELIEVES NEWLY APPOINTED SUPERVISORS SHOULDNT HAVE TO LEARN LEADERSHIP SKILLS THROUGH THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS HE CONSIDERS TRAINING ESSENTIAL.

When I rst became a supervisor, I asked our plant superintendent at the time, What is our mission here? I thought that if I could use our mission statement to direct what we did, maybe that would give us a Our culture comes down to ve values: Humble, teachable, foundation.

That was the case for Steven Hardeman, plant superintendent in Norman, Okla. He went to work in waterline maintenance for the city in 1984, moved to the wastewater treatment plant three years later, and worked up the ranks to lead operator, supervisor, and ultimately his current position, which he assumed in 2010. On the way, he struggled with the transition from team member to team leader. He now wants to do his part to make life easier for his eventual successors and for operators across Oklahoma who aspire to more responsibility. He earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of Phoenix and reads widely about leadership. He has also worked with the Oklahoma Water and Pollution Control Association, and plans to work with the Oklahoma Water Environment Association, to build the beginnings of leadership training programs.

GREENING THE PLANT
Targeting Efciency
By Lisa Balcerak
The Freeport Wastewater Treatment Plant upgraded its aeration system and added an efuent thermal system, drastically reducing energy costs.
FREEPORT SEWER DISTRICT KEEPS WATERWAYS CLEAN AND REDUCES OPERATING COSTS WITH ENERGY-SAVING TREATMENT PLANT UPGRADES
The upgrade separated sludge pumping from aeration. The electric sludge pump retrot has led to signicant electricity savings.
The upgrades included hybrid positive displacement blowers (Aerzen).
ASSESSING ENERGY
In 2010, the Woodard & Curran engineering rm conducted a plant energy audit and power assessment. Brian Cataldo, project engineer, proposed several efciency upgrades to Arris, who was chairman of the wastewater board at the time. They included an aeration upgrade that would cut electrical costs in half. When I saw that the project would save us more than $80,000 annually, it caught my eye, Arris says. Thats like two years of savings in user rate increases of 4 percent. We didnt have to raise rates

for two years because of that savings, even with signicant improvements in stafng and operations. The plant was built in 1974 with coarse-bubble diffusers. The upgrade separated sludge pumping from aeration and retrotted ne-bubble diffusers to improve efciency and save energy. The project also added hybrid positive displacement blowers (Aerzen) with premium efciency motors (WEG) and variable-frequency drives (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation). The updates, completed in January 2012, saved an average of 70,000 kWh per month, or about $100,000 per year. Full payback is expected in eight years. About one third of the $950,000 project cost was funded by a grant from Efciency Maine, an independent trust that promotes energy efciency. The district borrowed the remainder from bonds through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). The new aeration system required a learning curve for plant superintendent Dan Bicknell and the operating team. With the old system, there was no technology we just turned the blowers on full speed, Bicknell says. It was easy to operate, but we didnt get great results. Now we can measure and balance our units for optimum operating conditions. We have data trending and more testing available to us.

hree years ago, an energy audit of the Freeport (Maine) Wastewater Treatment Plant found many ways to save energy by upgrading old equipment, changing processes and insulating the building. Now the Freeport Sewer District is saving more than $90,000 in electricity and $25,000 in heating oil annually. To serve a population of 8,300, the district operates a secondary treatment facility and maintains 18 miles of gravity pipes, 11 miles of force main and 11 lift stations. The treatment plant has three independent trains, and operators can divert water to as many trains as necessary. The 0.75 mgd plant treats 0.350 mgd on average. Efuent discharges to the Harraseeket River, home to one of the richest clam beds in New England. Biosolids are co tourists, says Leland Arris, general manager. No one wants to sh, swim or boat in a bad river. There are 24 lobster families and 60 clamming families who work on the river. We affect a lot of people if we have a negative effect on the river. Over the last few years, the district has renewed its emphasis on outperforming state requirements. The outfall is in the river estuary, and with clam digging in that area, the district maintains a close relationship with the state Department of Marine Resources, which regulates the distance from the outfall at which clammers are allowed to dig.
LAB DETECTIVE
Digging For Answers

By Ron Trygar, CET
oe, the chief plant operator at the citys wastewater treatment plant, was perplexed. After numerous adjustments to the aeration system and batch times, the facility continued to struggle with nitrifying. Since the nitrication process was inhibited, the facility was not meeting its state efuent total nitrogen permit limit of 3.0 mg/L. Joe decided to ask other surrounding operators for their opinion and advice. One of these operators recommended Joe contact the Lab Detective.
FIGURE 1: A positive-displacement blower (Dresser/Roots [GE Energy]) provides aeration for the plants sequencing batch reactor.
PLACE TO START
The detectives rst communication with Joe was in a short phone conversation about the plant and its location. It seemed the facility was not far from where the detective was at the time, and he could pay a visit. During the drive, he thought of possible issues that cause poor nitrication: Low dissolved oxygen (DO) levels Low alkalinity and pH levels Too short of an oxic retention time Too low MLSS amounts and short sludge age Liquid temperatures too high or too low
gen gas in a reduction process where no free dissolved oxygen is present, normally in an anoxic basin or anoxic time cycle during a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) treatment batch. The facility seemed to be having trouble in the oxidizing part of nitrogen removal. The detective also went over the plant information Joe had given him: A two-tank SBR, design ow 1.1 mgd Three positive-displacement blowers (Figure 1) Inuent ammonia concentration of 30 mg/L as N Inuent alkalinity of 270 mg/L as CaCO3 Inuent pH of 7.5 Mostly domestic wastewater from residential users
SURPRISE ON THE WAY
All this information seemed pretty normal for wastewater nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, the Lab Detective should have expected the unexpected. Once the detective arrived at the plant site, Joe gave a brief tour. The SBR plant was about 15 years old an system made of porcelain-coated Joe, Bill and the detective began digging in one of the brown patches, above-ground metal plates bolted together.

Out of the total batch time, more than 2.0 hours were being devoted to aeration (oxic iron pipe, the hissing sound of escaping air was apparent. time). Since the plant had strict total nitrogen permit requirements, complete biological nitrication and denitrication were essential.
