Challenges in Setting Up ETP For Refineries Petroleum refining is a complex operation and unit operations within refineries vary depending on the type of crude and the type of end products. Refining is a water intensive operation which generates large quantity of waste water that needs to be treated so as to avoid environmental degradation. A proper understanding of the unit operations as well as pollutant loads is necessary in order to set up a suitable Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP). This article discusses about various challenges that we have faced in the designing and operating of several Refinery ETPs in India.
C
haracterisation Of Waste Water In order to design an ETP for an upcoming refinery, design parameters like the flow rate, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Suspended Solids (SS), Oil & Grease (O&G), Sulphides, Phenols, Ammonia, etc, have to be assumed. The selection of the scheme and the estimation of unit sizes depend on the inlet characteristics and hence it is imperative that the assumed design parameters be as close to the actual parameters that will be encountered once the plant is commissioned. It is quite normal to assume higher values while designing the plants. However, one should keep in mind that some processes do not perform efficiently when they are over designed. Typical Treatment Scheme The treatment philosophy adopted to treat refinery waste waters consists of a series of steps to sequentially remove the pollutants so that the treated waste water meets the required regulatory norms. The typical treatment steps are:

Removal of O&G: This is necessary as downstream operations are sensitive to the presence of high levels of O&G. In a refinery waste water treatment system, two steps of oil removal are typically required to achieve the necessary removal of free oil from the collected waste water prior to feeding it to a biological system. This oil removal is achieved by using an American Petroleum Institute (API) or Tilted Plate Interceptor (TPI) or equivalent oil water separator followed by a Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) or Induced Air Flotation (IAF) unit.
Flow Equalisation: Flow of wastewater generated from refinery from various manufacturing process units is not uniform. The flow variation is equalised by providing an equalisation tank of sufficient capacity and constant flow is maintained in all downstream treatment units. This makes the process control much easier. Removal of Suspended Solids: This is achieved using a clarifier or it can be combined with O&G removal in a DAF unit Removal of Sulphides: Lower sulphide concentration can be handled in biological treatment system. However, high concentrations of sulphides need to be taken care before waste water enters into biological treatment system. Oxidation of sulphides using Hydrogen Peroxide is most popular method of oxidising them. Biological Treatment: Various biological systems have been adopted including Activated Sludge Process, Bio-tower, Sequential Batch Reactor, Anaerobic Reactors, Membrane Bioreactors, etc. Every process has its own inherent advantages and disadvantages and a suitable system has to be selected by the designer based on factors such as organic load, treatment efficiency required, land area available, etc. Polishing of Treated Waste Water: This step includes units like Pressure Sand Filters (PSF), Dual Media Filters (DMF), Activated Carbon Filter (ACF) to remove the residual suspended solids as well organic pollutants that have passed through the earlier treatment steps. Reuse and Recycle: As the refinery consumes large quantities of water,
Features
it is imperative one must try and reuse the treated waste waters back in the process. Additional treatment units like Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration or Reverse Osmosis may be adopted in order to meet the reuse water quality that is required. Challenges and Solutions in Biological Treatment of Refinery Waste Water The key treatment step in the refinery ETP is the biological treatment as the bulk of the pollutants are removed in a cost effective manner in this step. Hence it is important to design this system in a robust manner so that it can operate efficiently. It is important to note that in the biological treatment step, the pollutants are degraded by microorganisms and it is imperative that a conducive environment is maintained such that the micro-organisms can operate up to their maximum potential. A list of various factors that influence the design and operation of the biological system are given below: Fluctuation of Waste Water Characteristics: One of the main challenges in refinery waste water treatment is its variation in characteristics. As mentioned earlier, when assuming the pollutant load for design of the ETP, it is normal to assume higher values so that the designs are ‘safe’. This causes problems during the operation of the ETP when the actual pollutant load is much lower. Also, based on variations in quality of crude and refining process, waste water quality also varies. The biological system should be selected to take care of these variations. The biological system should be able to vary process parameters such as air supply, Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS), Food to Microorganism (F/M) ratio, etc, to suit variations in feed. Modular design of biological process also helps in handling variations of waste water quality. If provided with multiple process tanks, plant can be operated based on the actual pollution load by using all process tanks or part of them. Oil & Grease: The performance of the O&G removal equipment is sometimes 12 | September 2015 | Chemical Products Finder

upset due to a surge in the inlet O&G quantity due to dumping of oil within the refinery. This causes O&G to slip into the biological system affecting the microorganisms. This also causes foaming in the aeration tanks that affects the quality of the treated water. A figure showing the foaming in a biological system of a refinery is shown here (Figure 1). Sulphides: Refinery waste waters contain high levels of Sulphides that are toxic to microbes and hence have to be removed prior to the biological treatment. In case sulphides slip into the biological system, it exerts demand on the aeration system since it consumes the oxygen that is meant for the respiration of the micro-organisms. Hence it is normal to consider a safety margin in the design of the air blowers so that it can meet any contingency due to sudden air demand because of sulphides. Care should be taken that sulphide concentration in biological system are below toxic limits. Complex Organic Compounds and Heavy Metals: Complex organic compounds such as phenols, benzene products, etc, are also part of refinery waste water. Their concentrations depend on the source and quality of crude oil. These compounds are not easily biodegradable and may be toxic to biological system
at higher concentrations. Hence, the ETP should be designed to handle these complex organics in case they are present in waste water. Heavy metals also pose problem to biological treatment. Both complex organics and heavy metals should be taken care in pretreatment if present in higher concentrations. Nutrients: The growth and performance of the micro-organisms depend on the availability of critical nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous in the waste water. Ideally, a BOD:N:P ratio of 100:5:1 is required for best performance. Normally, abundant nitrogen is present in the refinery waste water. However, it is important to constantly analyse the waste water and add nitrogen (typically as Urea) and phosphorous (as Phosphoric acid or Di Ammonium Phosphate) to make up for any deficit. Many a times, total nitrogen levels in the waste water are much more than required which necessitates treatment to reduce them. Hence, the biological system selected should be able to remove excess nitrogen along with organic pollutants. Energy efficiency: The oxygen required for the micro-organisms are delivered through fine bubble diffusers that release small bubbles of air from the bottom of the aeration basins. Air blowers are installed

Acceptance of Liqui-Cel membrane contactors and Electropure EDI modules has been driven by lower costs, higher water quality demands and improvements in the manufacturing techniques of the process. The unique properties of Liqui-Cel membrane contactors and Electropure EDI modules allow them to be installed in almost any location in high purity water system. The author gives an insight into the advantages of incorporating Liqui-Cel membrane contactors and Electropure EDI modules for boiler feed water.

embrane technology has always played a significant part in the production of high and ultra-high purity water for pharmaceutical, electronics and power industries. It is now over a decade, the conventional technologies such as forced draft degasifiers and deaerators (for removal of dissolved gases) and further ion exchange mix-bed systems (for removal of the dissolved solids have been replaced by a more efficient and reliable membrane technology such as Liqui-Cel membrane contactors and Electropure Deionisation (EDI) modules respectively.
mounted on mild steel rubber lined storage tank. The degasser tower limits the outlet carbon dioxide to 5-6 ppm. This becomes an additional load on to the downstream anion exchange/mix-bed units.
Background
Chemical Treatment
Proper treatment of boiler feed water is an important component of a boiler system. As steam is produced, dissolved solids become concentrated and deposit inside the boiler. This leads to poor heat transfer and efficiency reduction of the boiler. Dissolved gasses such as oxygen and carbon dioxide will react with the metal surfaces inside the boiler promoting corrosion. It is for this reason to incorporate improved and better technologies for removal of dissolved solids and dissolved gasses before entering the boiler. Conventional Methods for Boiler Feed Water Typical conventional water treatment schemes incorporate the following technologies: • RO + degasser tower + ion exchange (two bed/mix-bed) systems + deaerator/ chemical treatment. Degasser Tower

Innovative Membrane Technologies for Boiler Feed Water
For every 1 ppm carbon dioxide, the feed conductivity equivalent is 2.79 times. The carbon dioxide from the reverse osmosis permeate increases the feed conductivity equivalent and this is detrimental for EDI systems in ultrapure water applications. Hence, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors are more economical than the conventional degasifier for removal of carbon dioxide.
Chemical treatment is widely used to control dissolved oxygen in a boiler. The cost of operating a chemical treatment programme consists of chemical costs and blowdown costs. Periodically the water in the boiler must be flushed out to remove non-volatile compounds. They are flushed out of the boiler in a process called blowdown. Chemical addition to the water can increase the frequency of blowdown, which increases the operating cost of the boiler. There are two components of blowdown costs. Water and steam that is purged from the boiler during blowdown is sent to drain. This water must be replenished by fresh makeup water and there is a cost associated with it. The second cost is heat or energy cost. The water blow down from the boiler is hot. It is replaced with cold water that must be reheated in order to produce steam. Liqui-Cel membrane contactors are widely used to remove dissolved oxygen in feed water. By incorporating membrane contactor there is substantial savings in boiler blowdown rate and cost, chemical Chemical Products Finder | September 2015 | 15

Improved Technologies for Boiler Feed Water Due to several advantages, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors have replaced the conventional forced draft degasifier/ deaerator for removal of dissolved gasses such as carbon dioxide and oxygen while the mix-bed ion exchange systems have been replaced by a more efficient Electropure EDI modules. The most economical scheme for boiler feed water would be: RO + Membrane Contactor (CO 2 removal) + EDI + Membrane Contactor (O 2 removal) to Boiler What Are Membrane Contactors? Membrane Contactors are typically shell-and-tube device containing micro porous hydrophobic hollow-fibres. The material of construction of hollow-fibres is polypropylene having internal diameter: 200-220 mm, outer diameter: 300 mm and having an average pore size of 0.03 mm. Water is passed on one side of the membrane and a gas is passed on the other. Since the membrane is manufactured using a hydrophobic material and the pores are small, water does not easily pass through the pores. The membrane essentially acts as a support between the gas and liquid phases, and allows them to interface at the pores. Gases, however, freely pass through the pores on a molecular level.

Ion-selective membranes operate using the same principle and materials as ionexchange resins, and they are used to transport specific ions away from their counter ions. Anion-selective membrane are permeable to anions but not to cations; cation-selective membranes are permeable to cations but not to anions. The membranes are not water-permeable. By spacing alternating layers of anion-and cation-selective membranes within a plate-and-frame module, a ‘stack’ of parallel purifying and concentrating compartments are created. The ion-selective membranes are fixed to an inert polymer frame, which is filled with mixed ion-exchange resins to form the purifying chambers. The screens between the purifying chambers form the concentrating chambers. This basic repeating element of the EDI is called a ‘cell-pair’. The ‘stack’ of cell-pair is positioned between the two electrodes, which supply the DC potential to the module. The influence of the applied DC voltage potential, ions are transported across the membranes from the purifying chambers into the concentrating chambers, it becomes free of ions. This stream is the pure water product.
Gas Transfer Mechanism (see Figure 2)
• This creates move gasses.
The electrodeionisation process uses a combination of ion-selective membranes and ion-exchange resins sandwiched between two electrodes anode (+) and cathode (-) under a DC voltage potential to remove ions from RO pretreated water.

In the concentrate stream, electrical neutrality is maintained. All the streams from the concentrate chamber are combined to form a concentrate header and the concentrate stream outlet is led to drain. The electrolyte stream flow pass the anode and cathode sequentially.

the globe with different configuration and specifications of EDI module. Each manufacturer specifies the feed water quality entering EDI both recommended for optimum performance and maximum limit, and other operating parameters such as operating and maximum feed pressure, voltage and current drawn. EDI process is always RO fed water. Feed water quality entering EDI module is different for different grades pure water, eg, the treated water quality for USP grade water is 1.3 μS/cm, for high pressure boiler, power system it is 0.1 μS/cm and for microelectronics it is 0.057 μS/cm. The lower the ions fed to EDI, the better is the quality. Hence, feed water quality entering EDI for high pressure boiler, power system will be more stringent than for USP grade systems.

they are weakly adsorbed by the resins and the applied voltage has little driving force. High levels of carbon dioxide will increase the working section of the module and the polishing section decrease. For better EDI performance, the polishing section has to be large which will aid the removal of different ions such as carbon dioxide and silica. EDI systems are therefore designed based on feed conductivity equivalent (FCE) value. Calculations for Feed Conductivity Equivalent (FCE): FCE = Feed conductivity (μS/cm) + 2.79 (CO 2) ppm + 1.94 (SiO 2) ppm For Example: Feed conductivity : 5 μS/cm Carbon dioxide : 4 ppm Reactive silica : 0.5 ppm FCE = Feed conductivity (μS/cm) + 2.79 (CO 2) + 1.94 (SiO 2)
membranes and are installed in the RO permeate outlet. The carbon dioxide is brought down to 1-2 ppm. Final Treated Water Quality from EDI: The final treated water quality from EDI will vary between 1-18.2 mega-ohms-cm resistivity.
Power Consumption A typical EDI module operating at 2 m 3/hr will require 300 V DC and draws 2 Amps. The Power Consumption can be calculated as follows: DC Power (Watts) = Voltage (V DC) x Current (Amps)
The quality from EDI Module depends upon several factors as follows: • System design and engineering of ultrapure water system. • Designing the system at optimum/ maximum feed water limiting conditions to EDI. The lower the feed quality to EDI, the better is the output quality. • Proper instrumentation and controls. • Removal of all constituents such as hardness, iron, particulate matter, carbon dioxide, organics, and oxidising agents.

FCE is in the working range (< 33 μmS/cm) but outside optimum range (< 9 μmS/cm). Hence, it is important to reduce the carbon dioxide and silica content entering into the EDI unit. Removal Of CO 2 In RO Permeate: Carbon dioxide in RO permeate is removed by the following methods • Caustic dosing in the pretreatment to RO so that RO permeate is around 7.0. At pH 7.0 the carbon dioxide level is approximately 1-2 ppm. • Degasification using Liqui-cel membrane contactors. They are basically hydrophobic hollow fine fiber
There is always a trade-off in designing RO/EDI systems whether to design RO with a single pass with high feed quality (greater than optimum level) in which case EDI performance gets affected or double pass RO which will increase system cost but will give consistent and satisfactory performance of EDI. Applications EDI produces treated water quality conforming to the following applications: Pharmaceutical industries; Automobile industries; Power stations; Boiler feed water; Process industries; Laboratories for process water; etc.

Conclusion Meeting the water specifications of boiler feed water is a challenging task. The unique properties of Membrane Contactors and Electropure EDI modules allow them to be installed in almost any location in high purity water system. Membrane contactors can deliver 1 ppb of dissolved oxygen and 1 ppm carbon dioxide while EDI module can produce up to 18.2 Mega-ohms-cm resistivity water. Other benefits include redundancy, system stability and versatility which allow the end user to incorporate ◘ these well-established technologies.

With a number of projects being implemented such as the Namami Gange, plans of Smart Cities and pressures of increasing urbanisation makes waste water infrastructure of utmost importance. In this article, John Tattersall, Global Director – Water Technology, Black & Veatch and Rajesh Patwardhan, Director Business Development, Black & Veatch Water, India share insights on incorporating enhanced biosolids treatment in these projects and the benefits.

ndia is set to make significant investments in waste water treatment infrastructure. For example, in the first phase of plans to restore Ganga, 118 towns have been tentatively identified for the provision of new waste water treatment works. Efficient management of waste water is also among the attributes the Smart Cities Mission requires for the proposed smart cities project. In addition to the many new-build projects envisaged in Namami Gange and the smart cities programme, many towns and cities are seeking to improve the performance of existing wastewater treatment assets to cope with the pressures of increasing urbanisation.

Incorporating enhanced digestion processes into both new and retrofit waste water treatment infrastructure projects offers potential benefits: increased capacity of existing works, a byproduct safe for use as fertiliser, and the possibility for energy recovery. The latter attribute can support the element of the Ministry of Urban Development’s Draft Concept Note on the 100 Smart Cities which calls to, ‘adopt new methods for loss and energy consumption in water networks.’ One advanced digestion technology that is fast gaining global acceptance is thermal hydrolysis. Thermal hydrolysis is a high-pressure process that typically heats Waste Active Sludge (WAS) or a combination of WAS plus primary sludge for a short period of time to high temperature and pressure. The high temperature and the rapid decrease in pressure during depressurisation ruptures cells in the WAS and break down extracellular

polymer, making more material bioavailable for anaerobic digestion. This makes the sludge more digestible for microbes which results in significant improvements in digester loading and performance, opening up possibilities for improved energy and resource recovery from biosolids. The benefits are summarised in Table 1. Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) technology was commercially developed by Cambi approximately 20 years ago, but Veolia, TurboTec and others also offer THP systems. In the Cambi process sludge is fed to a pre-heating vessel, the pulper, at a concentration of 16.5 per cent dry solids and is heated using steam recovered from the flash tank. Pre-heated sludge is fed to one of the reactors, heated via steam injection to 165 Degree C, and held for 20 to 30 minutes. In addition to providing the required retention time for hydrolysis, the process meets the time-temperature criterion for US Class A Biosolids, having very low levels of pathogens. Following the reaction period, sludge from the reactor is discharged to the flash tank. During discharge to the flash tank, the sludge is rapidly depressurised. This causes cell rupture and release of flash steam, which is recovered to the pulper. From the flash tank, hydrolysed sludge is fed continuously to anaerobic digestion via a cooling system which is required to reduce the sludge temperature from approximately 100 Degree C or higher to the 40 Degree C required for digestion. The most common current configuration for THP is to use it upstream of anaerobic digestion although it can be used in other configurations. Chemical Products Finder | September 2015 | 19

A thermal hydrolysis and digestion facility at United Utilities’ waste water treatment works in Davyhulme, Manchester, England has increased the site’s biosolids processing capability from 39,000 tonnes dry solids (tDS) per year to a maximum capacity of 121,000 tDS per year (with an average of 91,000 tDS per year). The new plant provides United Utilities with a central biosolids processing facility and allows for import of dewatered biosolids cake from seven satellite sites which previously used lime treatment.
cake reception facilities. The sludge is fed to the THP from two sludge storage silos There are 4 thermal hydrolysis streams feeding 8 digesters (2 digesters per stream). Each THP stream can be fed with dewatered biosolids from Davyhulme, imported biosolids or a combination of the two. Prior to being fed to the digesters, sludge is cooled to approximately 40 Degree C.
Biosolids displaced from the digesters flow by gravity into a degassing tank where air is injected to inhibit methanogenesis. From the degassing tank, sludge is transferred to digested sludge storage tanks. Bio-gas from the digesters is balanced using two 9,000 cubic metre (m 3 ) double membrane gas holders. The gas is pumped via a gas clean-up system to feed 5 combined heat and power (CHP) engines and 3 combination boilers. The combination boilers are capable of raising steam for the THP using a combination of exhaust waste heat (from the CHP engines) and bio-gas burned in the fired section of each boiler. Heat is recovered from the CHP engine jacket cooling systems and is used to pre-heat final effluent dilution water used to dilute sludge cake being fed to the THP and boiler feed water. Electricity is generated from the CHP engines making the site energy self-sufficient. Another advanced digestion option is the HPH process which has recently been added to the Colchester Waste Water Recycling Centre (WRC). Owned and maintained by Anglian Water, Colchester, WRC treats flows from 135,000 homes and businesses in and
The increase in capacity means that Davyhulme is now capable of processing biosolids equivalent to a population of approximately 4.4 million people. The Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) contract was undertaken by Black & Veatch. The THP at Davyhulme biosolids via two routes:

Figure 2: Constructing the THP at Davyhulme, Manchester, England
around Colchester, Essex, England. The existing WRC comprised a conventional digestion process and served as a sludge reception facility for liquid and cake imports from other Anglian Water satellite sites. The facility was recently upgraded as an enhanced digestion treatment centre with capacity for 14,526 tDS per annum. The facility’s increased capacity provides for all indigenous sludges from the works, expanded liquid sludge imports and a new cake import processing capability. The various sludges are blended, pasteurised, digested and finally dewatered to cake, ready for transportation off-site for use as an enhanced quality agricultural product. As principal EPC partner, Black & Veatch was selected to design and manage construction of the new treatment process. The work comprised modifications to the existing primary and imported sludge plant; enhanced tanker imports facility; new Surface Activated Sludge (SAS) treatment; new cake reception facility; Heating, Pasteurisation And Hydrolysis (HpH) process; new digesters and associated bio-gas holder; post digestion dewatering and return liquors treatment facility. HpH is a unique advanced digestion process, developed, trialled, and
up-scaled to full operational capacity by Anglian Water. The three-stage system performs the following functions: • pre-heats the blended feed sludges prior to pasteurisation • pasteurises the sludge and achieve an ‘enhanced’ sludge product and rapid pathogen kill • pre-conditions (hydrolyses) the digester feedstock for optimum biogas production Colchester’s HpH is in full operation and on target to treat 14,526 tDS per annum. The system comprises four reactors: 1 for pre-heating, followed by 2 for pasteurisation and 1 for hydrolysis. The system operates an automated batching arrangement centring on the two (280 m 3 each) pasteurisation tanks. Whilst one pasteurisation tank is filling and heating, the other is holding at temperature and pasteurising its batch for at least five hours. After its holding period the batch is fed forward to the (1,115 m 3) hydrolysis tank and the cycle is repeated.
Features
The pre-heating process raises the sludge temperature to 42 Degree C at which time it is ready to feed the pasteurisation stage. This stage utilises direct steam injection to raise its temperature to 57 Degree C. The hot water and steam systems are designed to harvest all heating needs from the CHP power generation process. If the CHP is out of service the boilers may be fuelled by burning surplus biogas, or if necessary, by diesel oil from the new storage tank. Following the pasteurisation stage the batch is discharged to the hydrolysis tank. The sludge is then transferred via a heat exchanger where final effluent is used to cool the flow to less than 38 Degree C ahead of being slowly pumped forward to the digesters. Two new mesophilic anaerobic digesters, with a working volume of 3,802 m 3 each, receive the HpH treated sludge and hold it for a minimum period of 14 days. Bio-gas evolved from the digestion process is passed from the digesters to an existing (1,500 m 3 ) gas holder which feeds the site’s CHP engines. The aim of the CHP installation is to provide power generated by bio-gas from the enhanced digestion process. Two CHP engines rated at 1.2 MW each, provide sufficient power and heat to run the treatment process, but also allow the site to export surplus power to the grid. All power generated by this process is subject to ROC accreditation which generates an additional source of revenue. Total output from both engines is 2.4 MW/h; of this approximately 1.3 MW/h is consumed on site with the remainder taken up by the grid. ◘
The initial pre-heating stage utilises a circulating hot water loop (80 Degree C) fed from the heat recovery systems of 2 CHP engines. Additional heat is added as required from 2 steam boilers which also utilise heat recovery from the CHP engines’ flue gases to create steam used by the process.

The effluent after primary treatment will be subjected to secondary treatment. The major goal of this treatment is to remove soluble organic pollutants by oxidation and settling. This involves bringing the active microbes in contact with waste water which consume the impurities as food. These organisms, in presence of oxygen, convert the biodegradable organic matter into carbon dioxide water, more cell material and other inert products. With the help of this the total BOD reduction will be 90-95%.

MUNICIPAL WASTE WATER TREATMENT
Unique to BiOWiSH technology is the ability to reduce the required time for bacteria to adapt to new waste streams. BiOWiSH technology enables a rapid biological response to load and flow variation, a key differentiator to conventional bioaugmentation which rely on product formulations specific to a waste stream. These products require more time to implement and can be rendered ineffective if the substrate changes. Additionally, traditional chemical methods are only effective on the insoluble component of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD). It is often necessary to feed hazardous and costly chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide to reduce soluble BOD. BiOWiSH technology treats both the soluble and insoluble portions of BOD, reduces polymer usage and hauling fees, and eliminates the health and safety risks of handling dangerous chemicals. The BiOWiSH family of environmental products works within existing treatment systems and public waterways, requiring no capital or significant equipment expense. BiOWiSH technology works best in rudimentary treatment systems and open waste canals with existing biology and a minimum six hours of hydraulic retention time.

WASTE WATER TREATMENT There are two basic approaches: to use the waste in the water as a resource (such as constructed wetlands) or strictly as pollution (such as the majority of today’s treatment plants). Most waste water is treated in industrial-scale energy intensive waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) which include physical, chemical and biological treatment processes. However, the use of septic tanks and other On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF) is widespread in rural areas, serving up to one quarter of the homes in the U.S.[2] The most important aerobic treatment system is the activated sludge process, based on the maintenance and recirculation of a complex biomass composed by micro-organisms able to absorb and adsorb the organic matter carried in the waste water.

WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM Water Treatment Plant for the production of drinking water is dealt with elsewhere. Many industries have a need to treat water to obtain very high quality water for demanding purposes. Water treatment produces organic and mineral sludges from filtration and sedimentation. Ion exchange using natural or synthetic resins removes calcium, magnesium and carbonate ions from water, replacing them with hydrogen and hydroxyl ions. Regeneration of ion exchange columns with strong acids and alkalis produces a wastewater rich in hardness ions which are readily precipitated out, especially when in mixture with other waste water.

Six halogen lamp heaters let you preheat the whole board in next to no time after turning the power On. Full-board heating and quick temperature ramping let you get the job done quickly when reworking or mounting post production components to multilayer substrates that require greater thermal capacity. As it does not contaminate the air, the HAKKO FR 870 also offers powerful support for a clean workplace environment in industrial applications. Non-contact system allows preheating of double-sided boards, which hot plates cannot handle. Also mode step-heating method (maximum of three steps/step 1-3) heats PWBs slowly and evenly, letting you transmit 100 per cent of the heat energy from a rework system and soldering iron. You will never be forced to work with a higher set temperature due to insufficient heat again. Once a PWB is positioned, boards of the same dimensions can be removed or attached in a sngle motion. This design greatly facilitates continuous work.

AUTO BACKWASH FILTER The automatic self-cleaning auto backwash filters Type PRVC are capable of filtering any solid particles larger than the specified degree of filtration. The water or fluid enters the filter inlet nozzle and flows from inside of filter elements to outside. The dirt particles are collected on the inside of the filter elements. As the dirt level increases the differential pressure between the dirty and clean side increases and when the differential pressure reaches the preset value back-flushing starts automatically. In the manual mode back-flushing (cleaning cycle) is activated by means of adjustable timer. During the cleaning or back-flushing cycle two signals are issued by the control panel, one actuates the motor, the other bottom valve. Geared motor rotate the internal arm under each filter element at the same time valve opens causing a temperary reverse flow to accomplish the cleaning of dirty filter element and removal of accumulated dirt to drain through bottom valve. Most suitable for cooling tower water filtration (side stream filtration), river water filtration, process water filtration, sea water filtration, filtration before RO. It finds application in power station, process industry, steel industry, sewage treatment plant, environmental technology, mining, paper industry, machine to industry, etc. For details contact: Sharplex Filters (India) Pvt Ltd R-664, TTC Indl Area, MIDC, Rabale, Navi Mumbai 400 701 Tel: 022-27696322, 27696331, 27696339. 69409850, 69409860, Fax: 91-022-27696325 E-mail: sharplex@vsnl.com or Circle Readers’ Service Card 84

Technology News Highly Efficient Catalyst Eases Way to Hydrogen Economy
Rice Researchers Demonstrate Solar Water-Splitting Technology
Wisconsin, USA: Hydrogen could be the ideal fuel; whether used to make electricity in a fuel cell or burned to make heat, the only byproduct is water; there is no climate-altering carbon dioxide. Like gasoline, hydrogen could also be used to store energy. Hydrogen is usually produced by separating water with electrical power. And although the water supply is essentially limitless, a major roadblock to a future ‘hydrogen economy’ is the need for platinum or other expensive noble metals in the water-splitting devices. "In the hydrogen evolution reaction, the whole game is coming up with inexpensive alternatives to platinum and the other noble metals," says Song Jin, a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In the online edition of Nature Materials, Jin's research team reports a hydrogen-making catalyst containing phosphorus and sulphur - both common elements - and cobalt, a metal that is 1,000 times cheaper than platinum.
Houston, USA: Rice University researchers have demonstrated an efficient new way to capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into clean, renewable energy by splitting water molecules. The technology, which is described online in the American Chemical Society journal Nano Letters, relies on a configuration of light-activated gold nanoparticles that harvest sunlight and transfer solar energy to highly excited electrons, which scientists sometimes refer to as ‘hot electrons.’ “Hot electrons have the potential to drive very useful chemical reactions, but they decay very rapidly, and people have struggled to harness their energy,” said lead researcher Isabell Thomann, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and of chemistry and materials science and nanoengineering at Rice. “For example, most of the energy losses in today’s best photovoltaic solar panels are the result of hot electrons that cool within a few trillionths of a second and release their energy as wasted heat.” Capturing these high-energy electrons before they cool could allow solar-energy providers to significantly increase their solar-to-electric power-conversion efficiencies and meet a national goal of reducing the cost of solar electricity. Read more about the research on http://news.rice.edu/
Catalysts reduce the energy needed to start a chemical reaction. The new catalyst is almost as efficient as platinum and likely shows the highest catalytic performance among the non-noble metal catalysts reported so far, Jin reports. Read more about this research on http://news.wisc.edu/24010
A New Type of Solar Power through Nanoscience California, USA: Imagine we could do all that without adding a single molecule of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO 2) to the atmosphere. It sounds almost magical, yet green plants and some bacteria basically do this every day. Through photosynthesis, they turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar. Sugar is an organic fuel that stores the sun’s energy for plants to use at night or when they awake leafless in the spring. What if engineers could tweak this natural process to produce natural gas or gasoline? Advances in nanoscience are rapidly bringing that vision closer to reality. In a pair of ground-breaking papers, published this past April and August, respectively, Peidong Yang, co-director of the Kavli Energy NanoScience Institute and professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, led a team that achieved synthetic photosynthesis by marrying nanoscience and biology. Yang and his colleagues created a biologically inspired but completely artificial system that converts the sun’s rays into liquid fuel.

A Step towards Faster Organic Electronics Linköping, Sweden: For years we have believed that ordered polymer chains increase the conductivity of plastic. And a new generation of polymers has been developed. It is true that these new polymers are more conductive, but for completely different reasons – according to researchers from Linköping University and Stanford University. Organic electronics has many advantages; it is inexpensive, flexible and lightweight it does not consume any scarce resources. In terms of applications, we are only limited by our imaginations. There has been a lot of development in polymers since the phenomenon of conducting and semi-conducting plastics was discovered and in 2000 awarded a Nobel Prize. A polymer consists of long chains of hydrocarbon, where other elements are bound, which give the particular plastic its properties. Research is underway, and researchers and developers in the chemical industry have developed new polymers that conduct better. “The charge is transported two to three times faster in the latest generation polymers,” explains Dr Simone Fabiano, researcher at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping University, Campus Norrköping.
