INTRODUCTION
The City of Anaheim provides potable water to approximately 350,000 people within a 50 square
mile area. This results in a potable water demand of approximately 75,000 acre-feet
acre per year
(AFY) and 64-80%80% of this demand is met from the production wells. In order to augment the
water supply, the City is in process of building a 100,000 gpd tertiary wastewater treatment plant
pla
that will produce water that meets the Title 22 water quality requirements of California
Department of Public Health (CDPH). MWH was selected by the City to design this water
recycling facility (WRF),, which will consist of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), ozonation
ozo and UV
disinfection. This technical memorandum will describe the preliminary process design of this
demonstration recycling plant.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Currently the City of Anaheim does not have any water recycling facilities and hence the
wastewater generated within the City’s service areas is collected and treated by Orange County
Sanitation District’s (OCSD) Regional Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Facilities. The proposed WRF will
act as a scalping plant by collecting and treating wastewater fro
from
m the Lemon Street Trunk Sewer
near the intersection of Oak Street and Lemon Street, just northwest of the City Hall West
(CHW) parking structure. The effluent wastewater quality produced by the new WRF will
comply with all applicable federal, state and lo local
cal health and water quality requirements. The
treatment process will include an influent diversion pump station, fine screening, nitrification
and denitrification tanks, membrane filtration system, ozonation system, UV disinfection system,
odor control facility
cility and a clearwell.
The water recycling demonstration project will be built in two phases with ultimate treatment
capacity of 130,410 gpd in order to produce 100,000 gpd of reclaimed water.
water Phase 1 of the
project will consist of designing and buildi
building a 70,955 gpd facility and Phase 2 of the project

TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
will increase the treatment capacity to 130,410 gpd. Table 1 shows the details of the flow-rates
during each phase of the design. As shown, a fine screen will require a spray water flow-rate of
10,000 gpd to clean the screen and carry the screenings to the adjacent sewer. Since the treated
water will be used as the spray/conveyance water, the treatment process units will be designed to
treat this additional volume. Since MBR systems use membrane filtered water for backwashing
and chemical cleaning of the membranes, approximately 15% of the treated water will be
consumed for this function. In addition, waste activated sludge (WAS) volumes needs to be
accounted for when calculating the gross production capacity of the process units. The gross
treatment capacity of the treatment train was calculated by taking into account recycled water
end user demand, fine-screen spray/conveyance water, backwash/cleaning water for membranes
and WAS volume.

Results obtained from sampling and water quality analyses are summarized in Table 3. The
maximum week concentrations for COD, TKN and TP were calculated at 972, 75 and 8.6 mg/L
respectively based on results from 24-hr composite samples. Probability plots were prepared to
determine the maximum week and maximum month concentrations for each contaminant.
Figure-1 shows the probability plots for COD, BOD, TKN and TP concentrations measured in
24-hr composite samples. Once the project team receives additional results from other sampling
events, these tables and plots will be updated accordingly. Influent wastewater quality results
received from the lab are shown in Appendix A.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The proposed treatment process flow diagram shown in Figure-2 consists of MBR, ozone and
UV treatment processes. The detailed layout of individual unit processes and a full copy of the
process flow diagram, equipment list and preliminary chemical volume calculations are shown in
Appendix B. Wastewater from the trunk sewer will be pumped to the WRF using
chopper/grinder pumps in order to avoid any clogging in the transfer line. Wastewater will be
treated using a fine screen at the WRF and distributed by gravity to the pre-anoxic zone of the
MBR process. The MBR process will be designed as a 4-stage Bardenpho process with pre-
anoxic and post-anoxic zones to achieve low effluent Total Nitrogen (TN) concentration. The
facility will be designed with provisions for carbon addition in the post-anoxic zone in order to
achieve low effluent nitrate concentration. As specified in the draft design report prepared by
PBS&J, an external tubular configuration membrane system (commercial name DynaLift) will
be used for filtration. This configuration offers several benefits specific to this facility. The
DynaLift membrane system is located outside of the biological process tanks, which simplifies
chemical cleaning as the membranes do not have to be removed from the biological process
tanks. In addition, since the membrane modules can be drained and filled with cleaning
chemicals, the chemical cleaning process does not require lifting the membrane modules out of
the tank.
Membrane filtered effluent will be collected in a 500-gallon equalization tank that will serve as a
feed tank to the ozonation system. The purpose of providing the equalization tank is to allow the
use of booster pump to feed the ozonation system and to allow for continuous flow to the
ozonation system while the membranes are being backwashed. Since the membrane effluent will
have a pressure of less than 2 psi, a booster pump will feed the membrane treated water to the
ozonation system, where the water will be treated further to remove residual color, odor and to
provide disinfection. The selected ozonation system is Title 22 approved system. It will be
designed to deliver sufficient dose and contact time to achieve effluent water quality standards
that comply with Title 22 water quality standards for tertiary disinfected water. Ozonated
effluent will then be passed through the UV unit, which will serve as a secondary barrier against
microbial contaminants. Each of the unit treatment processes will be described in detail in the
following sections. Each unit process will be equipped with instrumentation and control devices
(factory supplied panels) provided by the vendors and communication from each unit process
will be set up with the SCADA system.

FINE SCREENING
Membrane clogging due to hair and fibrous materials can result in loss of membrane area and
productivity of the membrane filtration system. In order to avoid this problem, raw wastewater is
always filtered by a fine screen before being fed to the bioreactors and the membrane modules.
The project team will use a center feed perforated rotating drum screen with openings of 1 mm.

The Waste Tech rotating drum screen incorporates a feed distribution head box for effective flow
distribution and an internally screw auger with individual dewatering cells which dewaters and
transports the separated solids out of the drum. Depending on the size of the screen the drum is
direct drive, cog fear drive or trunnion driven. The influent to the drum is distributed over a large
area of the drum to ensure efficient use of the drum open area. As the drum rotates, fluid passes
through the perforations and the solids are removed and dewatered from the drum by the fixed
transport screw.
Since the enclosed perforated drum screen has no seals or slots, all flow must pass through the
perforations, which prevents bypass or carryover of solids to the downstream process. An
automatic Integral Overflow System (IOS) within the screen equipment provides an alarm
indication when screen is clogged in order to prevent raw wastewater from contaminating the
filtered effluent. Separate overflow connection allows raw wastewater to be diverted to the sewer
in the event of screen being clogged. Treated water from the clearwell will be used periodically
(usually every 15-20 minutes for 10-15 seconds) as spray water for the spray system to wash
away biological slimes, grease, etc. A mechanical brush continuously cleans the outside of the
screen whereas the spray water is used as a secondary mechanism to clean the drum.
The system shall be equipped with controls to provide both manual and automatic operation.
Controls shall be housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure complete with HOA Switch for screen drive,
ON/OFF Lights, Fail Lights, Overflow Alarm Light, Main Disconnect with panel mounted
disconnect lockable in the off position. All necessary starters, breakers, fuses, timers and relays
for Automatic and Manual Control.

MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR
Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) process is an advanced wastewater treatment process which uses
membranes for solids separation instead of clarifiers. Use of membrane for solids separation
allows the process to operate at high MLSS concentration (8,000-12,000 mg/L) irrespective of
sludge settling characteristics and provides superior effluent water quality. Operation at high
MLSS also reduces the required bioreactor volume and use of membrane replaces the need for
clarifiers and media filters thereby reducing the overall footprint of the plant. Typically, a well
operated MBR process with intact membranes will produce effluent with BOD and TSS below
detection levels and turbidity of <0.2 NTU. Since MBRs are usually designed to operate at
higher sludge retention times (SRT), effluent is fully nitrified and effluent ammonia
concentrations are maintained at < 0.5 mg/L-N.
MBR process can be categorized as either submerged or external depending on if the vacuum or
pressure is used to produce permeate. Submerged MBR systems are more frequently used in
municipal wastewater application since external MBR systems are perceived to be more energy
intensive. The external MBR process requires a higher recirculation flow-rate for cross-flow
pumping to provide enough hydrodynamic shear for membrane scouring. But high flux operation
and recent advances in external MBR systems such as air-lift assisted cross-flow pumping have
made external MBR systems competitive to submerged MBR systems. External MBR systems
also offer an advantage in ease of cleaning since it is not required to lift the module out of the
membrane tank for chemical cleaning.
The project team proposes to install a MBR process with single recycle configuration with
allowance to split the membrane recycle flow to aerobic and pre-anoxic zones. Screened influent
will pass to the pre-anoxic tank to utilize influent BOD for denitrification process. Mixed liquor
will flow by gravity from the pre-anoxic tank to the aeration tank for nitrification. Nitrified
effluent from the aeration tank will then flow by gravity to the post-anoxic tank for additional
denitrification. The process will be designed with provision for addition of MicroCg
(agriculturally derived carbon source) to the post-anoxic zone to achieve low effluent nitrate
concentration (< 5 mg/L NO3-N).
Denitrified wastewater from the post-anoxic tank will be pumped to the membrane tank for
filtration. The recycle flow-rate from the post-anoxic tank to the external membrane system will
TM 001_Process_v1.docxocess_V1.docx 10 of 36
TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
vary from 12-15 times the influent flow-rate. Since the recycle stream from the membrane tank
has high DO concentration (3-5 mg/L), provisions will be made to split the membrane recycle
flow such that the recycle flow can be diverted to either pre-anoxic tank or aerobic tank or both.
Such provision will allow maintaining anoxic conditions in the pre-anoxic tank by diverting part
of the membrane recycle flow to aerobic tank if DO concentration in the recycle stream is high.
The biological process is designed with an SRT of 20 days and detailed calculations for pumps,
blowers and mixers sizing are shown in Appendix D. A BioWin model was prepared to predict
effluent water quality and bioreactor conditions at steady state as well as to simulate different
contaminant loading conditions. Results from BioWin modeling are also shown in Appendix D.
The results shown from BioWin modeling are currently based on maximum week concentrations
only determined from the 24-hour composite samples. Designing to the maximum week loading
will ensure meeting the maximum month requirement for effluent nitrate.
The project will further simulate diurnal fluctuations in organic loading rate when the results for
the diurnal sampling are received. Model runs for annual average, maximum month and
maximum day loadings will also be verified at that time. Based on the steady state analysis, the
proposed biological process design will achieve effluent nitrate concentration of < 5 mg/L-N on
a monthly average basis.

MEMBRANE FILTRATION
In accordance to the draft engineering report prepared by PBS&J (June 8, 2009), the membrane
system to be specified is the DynaLift membrane system provided by Parkson Corporation (Fort
Lauderdale, FL). As part of the preliminary process design, the project team requested Parkson
Corporation provide the following information associated with the DynaLift system:
• Scope of supply
• equipment specifications,
• membrane design criteria,
• warranty information,
• list of reference plants.
As part of this request, the project team provided Parkson influent water quality and effluent
water goals, along with the preliminary biological process design parameters. During a follow up
conversation with Parkson’s MBR Group Manger, the project team was asked to contact Norit
X-Flow (Enshede, Netherlands) to obtain the requested information regarding the DynaLift
membrane system. Norit X-Flow is the membrane manufacturer and developer of the technology
(commercial name AirLift MBR) used in the DynaLift membrane system. After further
discussions with Norit, it was explained to the project team that Parkson is no longer an
authorized supplier of the DynaLift technology.
Based on further discussions with Norit X-Flow, the project team was informed that Dynatec
Systems, Inc. (Burlington, NJ) was the original and current authorized representative of the
DynaLift technology in the United States. Dynatec has been providing membrane systems for
wastewater treatment applications for 30 years with many small capacity (<200,000 gpd)
industrial and municipal DynaLift MBR systems currently operating in the United States. Based
on discussions with Dynatec, the DynaLift system design they provide is similar to Parkson’s
design with the major difference being the feed and product header configuration. After speaking
with the Dynatec representative and qualifying their experience and knowledge of the municipal
DyanLift MBR technology, the project team has selected this firm to provide the membrane
equipment for the City of Anaheim MBR facility. Table 8 summarizes Norit’s MBR plants
currently operating in the United States and overseas.

Tables 9, 10 and 11 provide preliminary information received from Norit and Dynatec related to
the membrane specifications, membrane system configuration, and membrane design parameters,
respectively associated with the DynaLift technology for the given application. Appendix E
provides general drawings and preliminary flow diagrams for the DynaLift membrane system.

The warranty is also subject to a number of conditions related to the operation and performance
documentation.
In addition to membrane warranty, Dynatec will provide manufacturer warranty on all equipment
associated with the membrane system (i.e. blowers, pumps, valves, chemical dosing systems,
gauges, etc.). A complete scope of supply, equipment list, and budgetary cost estimate for the
DynaLift membrane system is currently being prepared by Dynatec and will be incorporated into
the overall engineering estimate of the plant in the final TM.

OZONATION
Ozonation is an alternative disinfection technology for reuse applications. Like chlorine,
ozonation is also considered a chemical disinfection process. However, ozone is a much stronger
disinfectant than chlorine, and does not produce DBPs such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and
haloacetic acids (HAAs). Other DBPs may be formed from ozonation (bromate), but this process
depends on the bromide concentration in the water (expected to be low in this case) may be
successfully controlled by pH adjustment and peroxide addition.
For long time, UV has dominated the disinfection market due to the very short contact times
required to achieve the desired inactivation goals. Ozone, on the other hand, is a gas sparingly
soluble in water, which requires longer contact time to dissolve and become effective for
disinfection. For this reason, the traditional ozonation process requires large contact basins with
multiple contact chambers. Ozone is bubbled in the first 2-3 chambers and additional
contact/reaction time is provided by the subsequent chambers. The contact time (CT)
requirements for disinfection are met when the effluent leaves the last chamber.
However, for applications of the size required at the WRF, alternative ozonation systems are
available. Pressurized plug-flow tubular reactors, where ozone can be added in sequential steps,
allow ozone to dissolve faster in water, and to utilize it more efficiently than using contact basins
(i.e., by increasing dissolution in water, ozone losses to air are reduced). Under these conditions,
ozone can compete effectively with UV to achieve the required disinfection goals for recycled
water. Other advantages of ozonation over the UV process include providing higher dissolved
oxygen (DO) to the effluent, as well as leaving a measurable residual to confirm the required
disinfection goals, both advantageous conditions for recycled water applications.
Successful implementation of this technology for Title 22 applications has been reported by
Applied Process Technologies (APT) and their product known as the HiPOx® reactor. Data from
prior applications indicate that when the objective is achieving disinfection equivalent to the
irradiation of a 100 mJ/cm2 UV dose, the HiPOx reactor can achieve this same objective in a
more cost effective manner. To accommodate the plant extension during the second phase of this
project, the capacity of the proposed reactor can be easily doubled to 100,000 gpd (nominal) by
using a pipeline array extension and an extra ozone generator. An extra generator may be also
added later for redundancy. The selected ozone reactor has two more important advantages over
UV:
• Substantial improvement to effluent water quality, especially with respect to odor and
color.
• Removal of trace contaminants, such as endocrine disruptors (EDCs), and pharmaceutical
and personal care products (PPCPs), especially when used in conjunction with hydrogen
peroxide for advanced oxidation (AOP)

ODOR CONTROL
The new WRF is intended to be a high profile demonstration project. The facility is surrounded
by high use public buildings and open spaces. Thus the complete capture and treatment of odors
and the prevention of any foul odors from the facility impacting the public is an essential part of
making the WRF successful.
All four of these elements play a key role in preventing odor impacts to the public.
Regulatory Requirements
The following laws and agencies regulate various portions of the odor control and emission
process:
• City of Anaheim municipal code – odorous emissions
• South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) – emissions
• National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) – ventilation of process areas; and
• Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) – ventilation of worker occupied
areas.
Chapter 18.48 of NFPA Standard 820 governs operations of recycling facilities. Section 060
paragraph 140 states the following:
“All uses shall be conducted in a manner so as not to be objectionable by reason of noise, odor,
dust, fumes, smoke, vibrations, or other similar causes.”
The NFPA Standard 820 provides standards of ventilation established to prevent fire and
explosion within wastewater treatment facilities. The ventilation rates for various areas of
WWTPs depend on the type of electrical equipment used in those areas. The Anaheim WRF
facility will be completely enclosed in a single building. The anoxic, aeration, and post anoxic
areas will be in tanks below the building and there will be openings between the areas the rest of
the building. The NFPA ventilation standard for enclosed aeration zones is 12 air changes per
hour if the electrical equipment has a National Electrical Code (NEC) rating of Division 2 Class I
Group D. If the equipment is rated Division 1 there are no ventilation requirement. While the
mixing equipment in the anoxic zones may be Division 1 rated, all of the equipment in the
working areas of the building will be Division 2. Thus a minimum ventilation rate of 12 air
changes per hour throughout the building may be required.
NFPA also has standards for the odor control areas. With Division 2 electrical equipment a
minimum of six air changes per hour in the areas out to three feet surrounding any potential leak.
TM 001_Process_v1.docxocess_V1.docx 20 of 36
TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
Because the odor control area is not isolated from the rest of the facility the12 air changes per
hour standard discussed above will govern.
OSHA does not provide specific ventilation standards but rather sets limits for worker exposure
to specific compounds. In wastewater treatment applications hydrogen sulfide is the most
common among these compounds. Worker exposure to hydrogen sulfide is limited to 20 ppm.
Most of the process equipment such as the screen and MBR are self contained equipment and
will be ventilated. The anoxic, aeration and post anoxic areas are tanks below the floor of the
building. The only access to these areas will be through hatches in the floor. This configuration
of the tanks and the limited access means these areas must be governed by the rules of confined
space entry. Confined space entry requires workers to have respirators and thus the OASHA
limits for concentration of hydrogen sulfide do not apply in these areas. As confined spaces
these areas will have to be equipped with the following gas detectors and associated alarms
located at the entrances:
• Hydrogen sulfide;
• Oxygen; and
• Methane.
Each anoxic and aeration tank will have a single three by three foot access hatch. Each post
anoxic tanks will have two of these hatches. At least one of these hatches for each tank will need
to be open occasionally and possibly be left open for extended periods. It is vital that enough air
be pulled down through the hatches when they are open to prevent odors from escaping. For
hatches located inside a building away from suction caused by wind passing over the hatches a
capture velocity of 100 ft/min will be sufficient to prevent odor from escaping the tanks.
Table 10 outlines the ventilation requirements for the various process equipment and areas as
well as the sizing criteria. Detailed sizing calculations for odor control are shown in
Appendix H.
TM 001_Process_v1.docxocess_V1.docx 21 of 36
TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
The total volume of the building is approximately 254,000 ft3. The required airflow to achieve
12 air changes per hour in the building is 4,875 cfm. The air collected from the process areas
will need to be gathered from the building in order to provide the capture velocity across the
hatch openings. Thus the process air collection of approximately 6,500 cfm is greater than the
minimum 4,875 cfm required for 12 air changes per hour in the building. The odor control
system will be sized for 6,500 cfm which will provide approximately 16 air changes per hour in
the building.
In addition to the amount of air collected the location of the inlets for makeup air and the
collection points are important. The following are general good engineer practice when locating
makeup air inlets and foul air collection points:
Whenever possible enclose the odors and collect foul air as close to the odors source as possible;
• Drag fresh air past worker areas;
• Avoid pulling foul air past worker areas; and
• Avoid short circuiting the collection of odors by placing the collection port too close to
the makeup air inlet.
In the proposed ventilation scheme fresh air will be introduced into the building through roof
mounted inlets. This air will become the makeup air for the tanks and will be introduced to the
tanks through louvered intakes located near the hatches. Air will be collected from the tanks at
the opposite end of the tanks from the inlets. Air will also be collected from the inlet screen and
the MBR directly. Air will be collected from near the floor in the odor control area. This
TM 001_Process_v1.docxocess_V1.docx 22 of 36
TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
collection point will be located as far away from the overhead door as possible. This scheme
incorporates all of the four elements listed above and will provide vital capture of odors thus
preventing them from escaping the facility when doors or hatches are opened.
Of these technologies biotrickling filters, bioscrubbers, wet chemical scrubber and chemical
dosing of the wastewater can be eliminated from consideration. Biotrickling filters, bioscrubbers
and wet chemical scrubbers generally target hydrogen sulfide with some removal of other
odorous compounds. Thus they do not provide the highest level of odor reduction. In this
application and location the highest level of odor removal is essential. In addition chemical
scrubbers require frequent delivery of caustic chemicals that require operator training and special
handling. Given the close proximity to the high traffic public areas such chemical deliveries
would be impractical and undesirable.
Several different chemicals can be dosed into the wastewater flow to prevent the formation and
release of odorous compounds. These chemicals generally target hydrogen sulfide generation
but will reduce other sulfide compounds depending on the chemical used. However, as with wet
chemical scrubbers, many of these compounds are corrosive or otherwise harmful and require
care in handling and storage. Again the proximity of the facility to the general public makes the
delivery, storage and use of such chemicals impractical and undesirable.
Treatment Technologies
Iron sponges can also be eliminated from consideration. These filters collect hydrogen sulfide
and leave other odorous compounds in the air stream thus not achieving the maximum odor
removal.
Regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) are very effective in removing a wide range of odorous
compounds, however they are seldom used in wastewater application. The foul airstream is wet
and relatively cool. The energy required to achieve compound destruction in an RTO makes
their cost of operation prohibitive.
The two remaining technologies are biofilters and carbon filters. Both are very effective at
removing odors but they function very differently. In a biofilter odorous compounds are
absorbed into a thin moisture layer on the surface of the media. The compounds are then
oxidized by microorganisms in the moisture layer. The byproducts are mineral salts, carbon
TM 001_Process_v1.docxocess_V1.docx 23 of 36
TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
dioxide and water. Depending on the material used for the media there can be a residual odor
from the media itself. This is true of organic media biofilters that are composed mostly of wood
or bark nuggets. Biofilter require a relatively large footprint compared to other control
technologies. For the Anaheim WRF a minimum footprint of approximately 1,100 ft2 would be
required. In addition the media must be replaced every three years and this generally requires
the use of earth moving equipment. This type periodic operation is not well suited to the WRF
location.
In an activated carbon filter odorous compounds are adsorbed onto surface of the carbon media.
The media has high porosity which provides an enormous amount of available adsorption surface
area. There are three generic types of carbon media, Plain carbon also known as virgin carbon,
caustic impregnated carbon and catalytic carbon. Both catalytic and impregnated carbon are
treated to improve their ability to remove hydrogen sulfide and thus extend the life of the carbon
in airstreams with high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. Plain or virgin carbon is better suited
for light hydrogen sulfide loading and higher VOC removal.
Hydrogen sulfide is normally found in the early stages of wastewater treatment. At the WRF
most of the hydrogen sulfide would be expected to be released from the inlet screen and the
anoxic tanks. These areas represent about 30% of the total air collected in the facility. Thus
there is ample dilution of any hydrogen sulfide collected. For this application where maximum
odor reduction is required, removal of the greatest number of volatile compounds will provide
the best overall odor removal.
There are several advantages to carbon filters. They have a small footprint, and are completely
enclosed in a vessel. The major drawback to carbon filters is the need to frequently replace the
media. However the replacement process is relatively neat compared to that of a biofilter.
Table 11 and Table 12 list the advantages and disadvantages of biofilters and carbon filter
respectively:
TM 001_Process_v1.docxocess_V1.docx 24 of 36
TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
Based on the above analysis the small footprint, enclosed vessels and the neater maintenance
make the carbon filter the clear choice for the Anaheim WRF.
The odor control system will be a carbon filter system with plain or virgin carbon media. The
system will treat 6,500 cfm. The system will have the following components:
• One duty carbon filter and one standby unit with each unit 10 feet in diameter. The
filter will have either two horizontal media beds each three feet thick as shown in
Figure 1.1 or a radial bed filter as shown in Figure 1.2.
• One duty fan and on standby fan to collect the foul air and send it through the carbon
filter. The fan will be rated for 6,500 cfm at16 in.w.c.
• Due to the limited space available the collection fans will be equipped with inlet boxes
to reduce turbulence entering the fan that would otherwise reduce the efficiency of the
fan operation.
The incoming electrical power feed shall originate from the existing Civic Center Main
Switchgear located south of the WRF. A 400 ampere circuit breaker, matching the existing
manufacturer, shall be installed in the available space within the Civic Center Main Switchgear.
The power wiring shall utilize an existing 5-inch conduit that originates from the Civic Center
Main Switchgear and runs to the Maintenance Room located in the Parking Structure east of City
Hall East. MWH and City of Anaheim Electrical Staff shall determine the exact routing of this
existing conduit and coordinate the location of where to intercept this raceway to continue its
routing to the new WRF. The incoming power feed shall be terminated at a Motor Control
Center (MCC) located within the WRF. The MCC shall be enclosed in a non walk-in NEMA 4X
enclosure to prevent the possibility of exposure to water and/or other harsh chemicals that may
TM 001_Process_v1.docxocess_V1.docx 25 of 36
TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
be present in the building. The incoming power feed, designed by MWH and coordinated with
City of Anaheim Electrical Staff, shall power this MCC, which in turn, shall deliver power
throughout the WRF and the new Diversion Structure. MWH shall coordinate the proper
number and size of breakers, starters and panel boards provided within this MCC. Bus size and
approximately 20 percent extra space for future breakers and starters shall be designed to account
for future loads at the WRF.
Power for the site shall be distributed from the MCC (MCC) in the Electrical Room of the new
WRF. Electric power shall be distributed from the MCC to all equipment, valves and
instruments located in the WRF and new Diversion Structure. The equipment manufacturers
shall provide local control panels with their equipment which house the starters for their
respective equipment if possible. Otherwise starters and controls for this equipment shall be
located within the MCC. The MCC shall distribute auxiliary power to the WRF via a step down
transformer and 120/208, 3 phase lighting panel located within the MCC.
The fiber optic system shall provide two way communications with City Hall, Lenain Water
Treatment Plant and other locations as required. The WRF will be monitored remotely by City
staff at the Lenain Treatment Plant via SCADA. Alarms and control notifications will be sent to
the Lenain Treatment Plant and elsewhere as required.
TM 001_Process_v1.docxocess_V1.docx 26 of 36
TM-001 Preliminary Process Design August 7, 2009
MWH and the City of Anaheim Electrical Staff shall coordinate the work to provide power to a
small booster pump. The booster pump is responsible for boosting pressure to the toilets on
floors 2 through 11 in the City Hall West Building. There are two options to provide power to
this pump. The first option is to provide a starter in the existing Motor Control Center MCC-A,
located in the basement of the City Hall West Building. New conduit and wire shall be routed
from the Motor Control Center MCC-A to the booster pump through the ceiling. The controls
for this pump would be located at MCC-A. Another option would be to install a 480, 3-phase
breaker in Panel board LSLB located in the basement of the City Hall West Building, and route
new conduit and wire to a Local Control Panel near the pump. The controls for this pump would
be housed in this Local Control Panel.
The fiber optic link will probably interface directly to the nearest Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)
in City Hall West. Coordination with the City of Anaheim Telecom Group shall determine the
exact location for interfacing with the existing Ethernet fiber optic system.
STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City of Anaheim has formally adopted the 2007 California Building Code (CBC) with City
specific amendments. The structural design of RWBR WWTP will be governed by these codes.
In specific, the following list of codes will be used by MWH to complete the detailed structural
design.
• Concrete – ACI 350-06: Code requirements for Environmental Engineering Concrete
Structures
• Masonry – ACI 530-05: Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures
• Steel – AISC 13th Ed: Steel Construction Manual
The geotechnical design requirements and recommendations are forth coming. These
requirements and recommendations will set forth the design criteria lateral soils pressures,
allowable soils bearing pressures and the general site-specific Seismic design parameters.
The RWBR WWTP is to be constructed on the North-East corner of the existing City Hall
building. It will be placed in between the existing City Hall building and an existing electrical
duct bank. The new WWTP will be approximately 20 feet from the North wall of City Hall.
This close proximity to the existing City hall and the electrical duct bank will introduce some
challenges during the construction phase of the project. Based on the limited information
provided in the pre-design report, the construction excavation for the WWTP is expected to
extend below grade approximately 20 to 25 feet. Specially designed shoring will need to be
designed and installed to limit any settlement of the existing building, interruption of the
electrical duct bank and to keep the soils in place between the existing building and the new

The Waste Tech Rotating Drum Screen incorporates a feed distribution headbox for effective
flow distribution and an internally screw auger with individual dewatering cells which dewaters and
transports the separated solids out of the drum. Depending on the size of the screen the drum is
direct drive, cog gear drive or trunnion driven. The influent is controlled into the drum by means
of various inlet pipe designs, selection based on the type of material processed, which distributes
the influent over a large area of the drum to ensure efficient use of the drum open area. As the
drum rotates fluids pass through the perforations and forward to treatment. Solids are removed
and dewatered from the drum by the fixed transport screw.
The Perforated Screen is effectively cleaned by means of a friction drive rotating brush and
intermittent spray system. The Waste Tech RDS is fully enclosed with removable inspection covers
to prevent splashing and leaks and are designed to create a hygienic working environment in
the area the screens are located and comes standard equipped with a pipe connection for odor
control.
When combined with our screenings washer press fitted with drainage perforations matching the
drum perforation we can guarantee matching capture efficiency of solids to prevent bypass of solids to the downstream process.
Screenings are washed and compacted to 80%+ volume reduction
Special Features:
• Automatic Integral Overflow System (IOS) with alarm indication to prevent dirty influent from contaminating the filtered effluent.
Separate overflow connection allows dirty flow to be diverted to back to the pump station.
• IOS System automatically activates spray system with hot or cold water to wash away biological slimes, grease, etc….
• The enclosed perforated drum screen has no seals or slots – all flow must pass
through the perforations – therefore we can guarantee no bypass or carryover of
solids to the downstream process.
• Special perforation design and cleaning system allow perforations down to 0.6mm
guaranteed not to clog with screenings.
• Low water usage due to special designed drum cleaning system – water is the
secondary cleaning method, not the primary cleaning method
• The Waste Tech RDS stainless steel perforated drums are stronger and more efficient than wedge wire or mesh drum screens
• Operator Safety – all rotating parts are covered and the unit is totally enclosed to prevent contact with material.
• All removable covers are bolted down or fitted with safety switches to detect removal
• Combined with our screenings washer press provides a complete high performance screenings capture, washing and dewatering
system
Special Applications:
Membrane Biological Reactors (MBR)
• Effectively removes short chain fibers that create ropes which hang on the hollow fiber membranes and reduce efficiency causing
frequent back flushing and failure of the membranes.
• Waste-Tech RDS with 1 mm perforations are ideal for screening raw sewage ahead of MBR plants. Waste-Tech RDS efficiently
remove up to +95% inert solids, including fibers and hair. Waste-Tech RDS with 0.6 mm to 3 mm perforations offer flow capacities
up to 50 mgd (larger capacities available).
Sludge Thickener
• By adding polymer to waste activated sludge (WAS) or mixed primary
and secondary sludges, a Waste Tech RDS can dewater the sludge
from 0.5 -2% DS to 4-10% DS. This will save money on less transport
or by using a lower capacity belt press.
Typical Applications
• The Waste Tech RDS is also used in a variety of other applications
including: - Raw Sewage Screen, Sludge dewatering, Pulp and
Paper Mills, Fiberglass, Poultry, Fish Processing, Vegetable Preparation,
Slaughterhouses – any application requiring liquid solids separation
between 0.6 mm to 3 mm

finished units.
Cover hood assemblies shall fasten to and be supported by the splash guards located
below them. The 304 stainless steel fasteners shall be coordinated and furnished by the
screen manufacturer, who will also make the final assembly.
The lower part of the chute shall fit closely beneath the screen discharge, so that all solids
are captured. The hopper chute shall extend downward. The chute shall converge to a
nominal 20 inches by 8 inches discharge opening and the converging sides shall be not
less than 600 from horizontal.
Bottom of the discharge chute is a reinforced with matching companion mounting holes;
stainless steel fasteners shall be provided for attaching a rubber extension chute; the
rubber extension chute shall be furnished by others.
The motor shall be as manufactured by Reliance, NORD, or Baldor, rated for severe duty,
TEFC, 0.5 HP, 460V/3Ph/60Hz, with a minimum service factor of 1.15.
The motor shall be directly coupled to a flange mounted, parallel helical, double
reduction gear reducer. The reducer shall be as manufactured by NORD. The reducer
shaft shall be keyed to a drive shaft.
The drive assembly shall be mounted onto the 304 stainless steel screen frame and will be

ROTOSIEVE PERFORATED DRUM SCREEN – MODEL RDS-OF-30 PAGE 7
SPECIFICATION
Drive assemblies which include chains, belts, pinions, sprockets, chain tensioners, or
chain oilers, will not be accepted.
The removable external spray system shall consist of a 304 stainless steel spray header
provided with 304 stainless steel spray nozzles. The nozzles shall be easily accessible for
cleaning.
The nozzles shall operate on plant water (treated plant effluent or portable water) at 60
psi. Maximum simultaneous flow, at 60 psi shall be.15 gpm. Inlet connections to spray
header shall be 1” NPT.
The cleaner brush shall consist of a rotary nylon bristle mounted on a 304 stainless steel
shaft with pillow block bearings at each end. The brush located above the perforated
cylinder rotates in contact with the cylinder as it turns. The angular contact generated by
the unique shape of the brush cleans the perforations. The joint cleaning action of the
brush and the washwater sprays effectively maintains the open area of the screen cylinder
and prevents blinding.

Solution
The X-Flow’s AirLiftTM configuration offers a membrane solution out-
side the reactor allowing the maintenance of the plant to be simple
and clean. Due to the inside out configuration of membrane filtration
all membrane area is subject to the same process conditions.
Energy consumption is at the same level of submerged membranes
or even less, due to the efficient usage of process conditions for
flux enhancement.
• Municipal WWTP
• Food industry
Examples
X-Flow has provided membranes for MBRs for a growing number of plants world
wide. Capacity ranges from less than 10 m3/hr (44 gpm) to more than 150 m3/hr
(440 gpm).

Key Benefits
TrojanUVFit™
Compact Design. The small reactor footprint simplifies indoor retrofit installations and
reduces construction costs.
Wide Range of Flow Rates. Peak flow rates per reactor are suitable for either
individual post-filter or manifold installation. Flows up to 7 MGD per reactor – the largest
validated low-pressure lamp in-pipe wastewater system in the industry.
Automatic Wiping. Automatic sleeve wiping saves operator’s time and money. Ensures
the maximum UV output is available for disinfection and minimizes energy consumption.
Amalgam Lamps
High-output amalgam lamps are energy-efficient and
save operating costs due to reduced electrical consumption.
Lamps are located within protective quartz sleeves with
easy access from the service entrance.
UV Intensity Sensor
Highly accurate, photodiode sensor
monitors UV output within the
reactor. The sensor ensures UV light
is fully penetrating the water for
complete disinfection.
Compact reactors designed for high flow rates also available. This reactor contains lamps in both
ends of the reactor. Multiple inlet and outlet flange orientations are available.
Power Distribution Center (PDC)
The PDC panel distributes power to the reactor, UV
intensity sensor and sleeve wiping system. The panel also
houses high-efficiency, variable-output (60 –100% power)
or constant-output ballasts with proven performance in
hundreds of installations around the world.
End Cap
The end cap protects and isolates connections
for components such as lamps, sleeves and
wiping system. Power is automatically disconnected
if end cap is removed thereby ensuring a safe
working environment for operators.
