PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Pre-Treatment

AE(E)P-II/HMZ

1
 The out fall sewer main from the last manholes, (upto110 M3 per day) will be let into a screening chamber by
gravity flow. Large solids particles shall be intercepted by a bar screen, preceded by a grease trap. The primary clarified
wastewater is then further pre-treated by fine screening before entering the coagulation-flocculation tank for pre-treatment
steps.
During Coagulation ,alum and lime will be dosed of required amount and then followed by flocculation process in
which poly will be dosed and then water overflows to primary tube settler where waste bulky particles will settle down
under the gravitational force and the clarified water is taken out for biological treatment that is SAFF.

Bio-Logical Treatment
The clarified water from primary tube settler will be collected in collection cum Equalization Tank (EQT). Air shall be
provided in this tank to keep the suspended solids in suspension & to avoid any potential odor problem.
From this tank Effluent will pumped to SAFF Tank. The SAFF tank consists of PVC fill media, which shall facilitate the
attached fixed film growth of microorganisms. The aerobic environment in the aeration tank shall be achieved by the use of
fine bubble diffused aeration, which also serves to maintain the liquor in a completely mixed regime. The mixed liquor from
the SAFF tank overflows into a hopper bottom secondary clarifier (SST) where the sludge settles down and clear water
overflows into Chlorine contact tank (CCT).
The treated water from the secondary clarifier (SST) shall be collected in the Chlorine contact tank. In this, Hypochlorite
solution is dozed for the disinfection of clarified water. This tank will also act as storing tank for filter feed pumps.
Treated Water from CCT will be pumped to Multi grade filters (MGF) for removal of suspended solids and turbidity. This
filter shall be provided with Sand & Crushed gravels, pebbles as filtering media. After MGF, treated water goes to Activated
carbon filter (ACF) for further polishing and removal of excess chlorine. After ACF the treated water shall be stored in
treated water tank (TWT). This treated water is fit for reuse in Irrigation/ Horticulture purpose. The sludge settled in
secondary clarifier shall be disposed off after dewatering through filter press. This sludge will be fully stabilized and can be
used as manure.

The homogenized and mixed wastewater in the equalization tank shall be pumped through fine screening before entering the
MBR.

An internally-fed screen with punched-hole openings less than or equal to 2 mm in diameter with no possibility of bypass or
carryover is absolutely required to maintain both membrane warranty, and optimal MBR operation.

Effluent from the Equalization tank and Return Activated Sludge (RAS) being pumped from the membrane tank must be
mixed and fed into the bioreactor tank.

Biological trains shall be equally divided into single/multiple trains on hydraulic loading and shall be operated in parallel .
Each train shall comprise of an aerobic tank. For Nitrogen removal, bioreactor shall additionally consist of Anoxic zone of
suitable size

Influent wastewater and re-circulated sludge shall be divided between all the biological trains as it enters each aerobic tank.
Biological process blowers and fine bubble diffusers in the aerobic tanks shall provide the oxygen required for the biological
process as well as the mixing energy required to keep the mixed liquor in suspension. Dissolved oxygen shall be monitored in
each aerobic tank to achieve a desired set point of 2 mg/L.

The mixed liquor shall overflow by gravity from the biological tanks to the membrane tanks where the solid/liquid separation
takes place by means of the vacuum created by the process pumps. The permeate shall be stored in the permeate storage tank.

The mixed liquor from the end of the bioreactor aerobic zone shall proceed by gravity to the membrane filtration basins. At
the outlet of each aerobic tank and inlet of each filtration basin there shall be an isolation valve. Flow shall proceed by
gravity through the valve. The sluice gate valve/isolation valve can be used to either isolate of the membrane tank (i.e. during
cleans). Plant demand shall be controlled by the feed flow into the system and can be trimmed by the level in the
bioreactor/membrane tank.

One permeate pump per membrane trainshall be employed to draw water through the membranes. Treated water shall flow
from the permeate pump to the final disposal point.

Under normal operation and average day flow conditions, permeation is stopped for a specific period of time at regular
intervals. This membrane relaxation period, combined with air scouring, effectively removes solids that have accumulated on
the membrane surface or within the fibers and reduces electrical costs.

Same permeate pump with valving arrangement shall be provided for backpulsing the membranes.

From membrane tanks, Permeate pump shall draw treated effluent through the pores of the membrane fibers and into the
backpulse tank. Once full, the treated effluent is automatically diverted away from the backpulse tank to a final disposal
point. Clean water (permeate) is suctioned through ZW500D membranes by centrifugal permeate pumps.

The membranes shall be air scoured with required capacity of membrane aeration blowers fitted with Mechanical Variable
speed drive or with pulley arrangement.

Waste activated sludge (WAS), shall be removed to the sludge handling facilities via a side stream on the discharge from the
membrane tank by pumping in a controlled manner.

Further details of the system design are provided below in the following sections.

Major Process Components for MBR system

The plant shall comprise of the following major components (not limited to):

Coarse and fine Bar screens, Grit removal system, Oil Removal system
Equalization tank , Mixing system

During recovery clean, no permeate water shall be generated from the membrane train so GE is assuming an equalization tank
of suitable capacity to take care of the variable flow rates.

Biological process chemical feed system
Membrane tank with accessories for installing UF membrane

A ―membrane train‖ is a treatment unit consisting of multiple ―cassettes‖ that are manifolded together, installed in a concrete
or steel tank (i.e. membrane tank) and connected to a common permeate pump.
Within each membrane tank, the cassettes are connected to permeate header and air supply header(s). The permeate header
conveys permeate from the cassettes to the permeate pump suction and also delivers cleaning solutions to the membranes.
The air headers deliver air to cassette aerators for air scouring to prevent solids accumulation on the membrane surface

Design notes:
1.Puddle pipes inside membrane tank to be SS304 or FRP. MS is not acceptable.
2. Membrane tank accessories required to install membranes like beams, brackets, hangers, hold pins to be minimum SS304L
grade.
3. Permeate header should be SS304L (minimum) inside membrane tank and FRP, PVC, HDPE on permeate /backpulse
pumps suction and discharge.

UF membrane
We have offered ZW500D membrane modules and cassettes and the technical data of the same is highlighted in section 1
above. In the ZeeWeed ® MBR process, the membrane cassettes are immersed directly in the mixed liquor in the membrane
tanks.

Permeate pumps/back pulse pumps (process pumps) with VFD
The membrane cassettes in each tank shall be connected to a permeate header, which in turn shall be connected to the suction
of a Permeate/Backpulse Pump. This set of cassettes, the piping, and the pump is referred to as a membrane train. The
vacuum generated by the Permeate Pump draws permeate from the outside in through the membrane fibres. All
Permeate/Backpulse pumps discharge into a common permeate collection header.
All the trains in the plant are operated with a repeating filtration cycle. It consists of two phases: permeation (drawing) of
water through the membranes followed by a short period of reverse flow (backpulsing) or relaxation (no flow). For the
proposed membrane filtration system the same pump will be used for permeate and backpulse with necessary valving
arrangement

Pump parts and MOC:

Casing : CI
Impeller : SS316

Permeate pump priming system -Ejector system

After extended standby periods or when a train is first placed into automatic control, an automated valve which connects the
top of the membrane train permeate header to an ejector (shown below) and an automated valve which connects the ejector to
the Air Compressor opens. The compressed air drives the ejector to create a vacuum that draws air out of the train, pulling
water through the membranes until water in the header hits a level switch. This indicates that both valves can be closed to
ensure the system is primed and can be placed in operation. To simplify system control the ejector configuration consists of
one unit per train and is controlled by PLC. Make of ejector should be VACCON/ PIAB only.

Air Scour Blowers for Membrane Aeration

Whenever a membrane train is in production, membrane aeration blowers will produce the air scour required to remove solids
from the membrane surface and maintain membrane permeability. A specially designed and highly efficient aeration system
shall be used to scour the outside surface of the membrane and move mixed liquor solids away from the membrane fibres.
This shall be accomplished by a GE patented aeration system that uses a factory installed aeration grid, which is integrated
into the base of each ZeeWeed 500d cassette. The integration of diffusers within the cassette simplifies the installation of
diffusers and enhances the operation of the membrane unit.
The blowers discharge into the membrane aeration manifolds. This manifold delivers air to the membrane distribution air
headers installed above each membrane tank (train). These Manifolds are by Customer.
Conventional Cyclic aeration :For optimal balance between the energy requirements of the membrane aeration blowers and
the amount of air scouring provided at the membranes, the system can be designed to cycle air within each membrane
cassette (10:10 mode or 10:30 mode). Each cassette is equipped with two air connections; one air connection from each
cassette is connected to one of two air headers at each membrane tank, using a flexible hose. Airflow is cycled from one train
header to the other (using pneumatic valves) so that half of each cassette is aerated at a time

Recirculation Pump (RAS pumps)

Membrane tank Drain pump

The membrane tanks need to be drained for recovery chemical cleaning or other maintenance procedures. This can be
achieved by using the above mentioned mixed liquor recirculation pumps( RAS Pumps) or separate drain pumps may be
used.

Membrane system operation modes & Cleaning processes

Operation modes
The sections below highlight the main operational, control aspects and cleaning processes of the membrane system for PUMP
– FROM (MEMBRANE TANK) configuration.

Off, Permeation and Stand-by Modes

Off Mode
In OFF mode, devices are off. However, for membrane protection, to ensure the membranes are submerged the feed valves
are opened. When the water level is above the membranes the feed valves are closed.
Filtration/Production/Permeation Mode
Filtration, or permeation, consists of drawing clean water from the mixed liquor through the membrane fibers via the
permeate pump.

Water is produced from each train during the filtration period for a duration of 11 minutes, followed by a 30 second
relaxation. The filtration duration cycle is based on GE‘s extensive experience with the numerous GE‘s MBRs in operation
throughout the world.

Dedicated permeate/process pump shall be provided per train for filtration/backpulse purposes with a common standby for
multiple trains. The vacuum generated by the permeate pump draws permeate from the outside-in through the membranes and
discharges it to the Permeate Storage Tank. The variable speed pumps are controlled by PLC to maintain the permeate-flow
demand. The PLC continuously runs a PID loop for Trans Membrane Pressure (TMP) while in production. The PLC uses the
lower of the control outputs from the flow loop and TMP loop.

All the permeate pumps shall be controlled at the same flow set points and complete with premium efficiency VFD rated
motors and discharge flow meter.
Maximum pump capacity for permeation is achieved at the highest design level in the process tanks. All pump speeds will
gradually decrease as the liquid level in the process tanks decreases. If during low flow conditions this level drops below the
design minimum, and the pumps cannot be slowed down any further, one or more trains will automatically go into standby
mode.
During or below average day flow conditions, all trains shall be in operation provided any one trains is not required to go into
stand-by mode. All permeate pumps and Mixed Liquor RAS pumps shall be operating.
All permeate pumps shall discharge into a common permeate collection header. The Permeate Storage Tank and the
Backpulse Tank are both fed from the common permeate header.
Cleaning and Maintenance Procedures
As the feed is drawn through the membranes during filtration, solids are removed which accumulate on the membrane
surface. As the solids accumulate, they restrict the flow through the membranes and eventually membrane cleaning is
required in order to maintain the filtered water flow rate.
Membrane cleaning is absolutely critical to ensure sustainable operation over the life of the plant regardless of membrane
type. GE‘s MBR system is designed with the most comprehensive cleaning toolbox, which represents the culmination of
years of experience in long-term MBR operation for uncompromised performance over the life of the membranes. Features
include the following:
Membrane Air Scouring: used as a mechanical cleaning action, Seller has developed and patented the most energy efficient
membrane air scouring method in the industry.
Relax mode
Backpulse Ability: The ability to ensure an even distribution of chemicals across the fibers through backpulsing under
pressure. This reduces the potential for preferential flow of cleaning chemicals.
Cleaning: The ability to clean not only the inside of the membrane surface with maintenance cleaning, but also the outside of
the surface with recovery cleaning.
Ability to clean quickly and easily through fully automated processes such as relaxation, backpulsing, maintenance and
recovery cleaning; and
Membrane Scouring by Aeration
Whenever a membrane train is in production, membrane scour aeration is required to maintain consistent permeability of the
membrane.
Specially designed highly efficient coarse bubble aeration shall be used to scour the outside surface of the membrane and
move mixed liquor solids away from the membrane fibers. This is accomplished by a Seller‘s patented cyclic aeration system
that uses a factory installed coarse bubble aeration grid which is integrated into the base of each MBR cassette.
Figure 7: Schematic Representation of Aeration and Permeation in a MBR Cassette
The membrane cassette is aerated to provide a mechanical cleaning action. This air scour removes foulants that may deposit
on the outside of the fiber, maintaining membrane permeability. The aeration also minimizes the effect of concentration
polarization which is recognized as a significant membrane fouling mechanism.

Outside Face of ZeeWeed is kept free of solids buildup by the action of a rising solids/air/liquid
stream around the face of the membrane fibers. This rising stream produces a Cleaning Shear at the
face of the membrane due to Membrane Oscillation and airlift effect of the rising stream.

Figure 8: MBR Air Scour

The system has been designed to supply Air to each air header of a membrane train at 10 seconds ON and 10 seconds OFF
(10:10) aeration mode. Based on GE‘s experience in various MBR systems, a 10-30 aeration mode will be operated during
normal operation of the plant resulting in overall decreased aeration energy consumption. The process is PLC-automated and
provide among the lowest MBR energy consumption in the industry without sacrificing any performance.
Relaxation
Relaxation mode combined with air scouring is the routine cleaning mode during normal production. The combined stoppage
of permeation and air scouring effectively removes solids that have accumulated on the membrane surface or within the fibers
and reduces electrical costs.

Figure 9: Process Flow Schematic – Relaxation Mode

While operating in relaxation mode, permeation for each train is stopped sequentially for a short period of time (30-60 sec)
every 10-12 minutes to allow air scouring of the membranes without permeation. No chemical or permeate is used during
relaxation mode. This is the normal operating mode of MBR systems. The relaxation function is fully automated by the PLC
with no operator intervention.

Backpulse or Backwash
Backpulsing is a cleaning tool which allows for reliable system performance during unexpected influent or process operating
scenarios. Backpulsing involves reversing the flow through the membranes to dislodge any particles that may have adhered to
the membrane surface. As with relaxation, the backpulse functionality is fully automated by the PLC with no need for
operator intervention.
 ZeeWeed uses clean filtrate to backwash itself. A reverse flow from the CIP tank is fed to the inside of the membrane fibers cleaning from the inside out Cleaning chemicals are optional and not always necessary.

Figure 10: MBR Backpulse

The backpulse system has also been incorporated into the automated membrane cleaning systems included in the proposed
design. Backpulsing is particularly critical for efficient membrane cleanings. Without backpulse, deep chemical cleaning of
membrane pores is impossible for any type of membrane, and can run the risk of membranes becoming deeply and
irreversibly fouled with organic matter.
The backpulse tank is automatically filled with permeate which is used for the backpulse process. If required, hypochlorite
may be added to the backpulse tank to maintain a concentration of < 5.0 mg/L to prevent bacterial growth.

Maintenance Clean
Over time, the membranes can experience fouling caused by accumulation of organic matter or crystallized salts within the
membrane fiber pores. Cleaning of the membranes in this circumstance to restore the permeability requires use of a Clean-In-
Place system.
Clean-In-Place (CIP) membrane cleaning is a standard operational procedure for most membrane systems .
A maintenance clean is a regularly scheduled, fully automated cleaning that involves an extended backpulse combined with
low concentration of chemical addition. Maintenance cleans are intended to maintain membrane permeability and extend the
time between recovery cleans.
The maintenance cleaning procedure is entirely automated and will be scheduled to occur during off-peak hours of the day.
The membrane filtration system includes the capability to perform maintenance cleans using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)
and citric acid to target organic and inorganic foulants respectively.
The maintenance cleaning procedure incorporates the following features:
Fully automated;
Performed without draining the membrane tank;
Low chemical concentration.
A maintenance clean consists of a series of short backpulses with chemical solution, followed by a backpulse with only
permeate to flush the headers and membranes.

Maintenance cleaning
procedure is entirely
automated and scheduled to
occur during off-peak hours of
the day, so that the plant is
ready when needed without
operator’s attention.

Figure 11: Process Flow Schematic – Typical Maintenance Clean Sequence (fig shown for description purposes only)
Recovery Clean
Recovery cleaning is required to restore the permeability of the membrane once the membrane becomes fouled. The recovery
cleaning procedure consists of a chemical backpulse sequence, followed by a chemical soak period.
Key features of the recovery cleaning procedure for MBR are:
Fully automated once initiated by the operator;
Cleans all membrane cassettes in a train at the same time;
Requires moderate chemical concentration
Thoroughly cleans the surface of the membrane
 Recovery cleaning restores
permeability after membranes
have been fouled. A train is
taken off-line for 6 to 12 hours.

only) System write-up

The raw sewage will be received at the inlet of the bar screen to trap any floating particles and debris. A belt type oil skimmer
and grease trap will be provided to remove the floating oil and grease. The oil free effluent overflows to the collection cum
equalization tank. Equalization tank will be fitted with coarse bubble aeration system for homogenizing the sewage and also
to keep it fresh during storage. This Sewage is then transferred to a downstream Aeration Tank by sewage transfer pump. The
aeration system works on an extended aeration activated sludge process. The biological reaction is sustained by maintaining a
required level of MLSS in the aeration tank. The generation of biomass reduces the incoming BOD and COD to greater than
95%. Oxygen transfer is achieved by means of fine bubble diffusers placed at the bottom of the tank to transfer atmospheric
oxygen from air. Suitable air blowers are provided to maintain an adequate flow of air through the aeration tank. The mixed
liquor containing the biomass overflows from the aeration tank to the MBR membrane compartment. A fine screen is placed
in between to trap any sharp objects or particles from entering the MBR chamber.

The MBR is basically hybrid waste water treatment approach involving biological treatment by Activated sludge process in
combination with physical absolute membrane filtration. We have offered GE Hollow fiber Membrane Bio Reactor to operate
in the biological Aeration system. The basic biological aeration system considered utilizes diffused aeration to provide the
required oxygen that will maintain the healthy biomass. A higher MLSS of 7,000 ppm and up to max of 15,000 ppm is
envisaged in the Aeration tank to sustain the microorganism and to effect efficient reduction of BOD and COD.

The membranes are made up of PVDF material. The membrane fiber consists of two outer layers with an inner support layer.
This unique construction gives the membrane the high resistance towards physical damage and high chlorine resistance. The
hydrophobic properties of the membrane help in fouling resistance. The individual membrane fibers are uniformly potted
using a patented resin mixture at both the ends. Permeate withdrawal is from both the ends of the membranes. This feature
ensures that the uniform flux is maintained throughout the membrane fiber length. The ZEWEED does not require
backwashing. The service cycle consists of filtrate withdrawal followed by soaking only. In addition to the above a
continuous stream of fine air bubbles is dispersed from the bottom header to ensure that the membranes are free from any
biomass sticking on to it. Cleaning requirements are minimum and are typically done once in a month with alkaline and acidic
cleaners.

The membranes come in stacks called as cassettes. The cassettes are mounted on to a
simple skid with an easy removal mechanism. The compact skids occupy very less space and can be lifted out of the tank
easily for any maintenance work. The skid with the cassette construction ensures that the replacement costs for the membrane
are kept to the minimum.

The filtrate from the MBR will be removed by means of MBR filtrate pumps. The suction
of the pump is connected to the MBR filtrate headers in the skid. Return activated sludge pumps are provided in the MBR
chamber to maintain the continuous circulation of the mixed liquor between the aeration tank and the MBR chamber.

The excess Sludge from the aeration tank will be taken out at regular intervals from the Recirculation line. The sludge will be
stored in a sludge holding tank where the same will be pumped through sludge transfer pump to Filter press for Dewatering
and the dry cake is disposed.
