Sadesa Tannery Wastewater treatment plant in Paraguay; Proposal No
Subject:
11800247 Rev.3
Aqwise is pleased to provide you with our revised proposal for Sadesa tannery wastewater
treatment plant in Paraguay. The proposed wastewater treatment plant is based on Aqwise’
AGAR® (Attached Growth Airlift Reactor) technology.
The AGAR® system offers several advantages to the wastewater treatment system including:
Excellent effluent quality
Robustness – Fast recovery and resistance to process upsets (both hydraulic and toxic)
Operational simplicity and scalability
Low operation and maintenance cost
Fast deployment procedure
Nitrification in cases where typically nitrification is difficult for the conventional systems
The following proposal offers a Greenfield design for a completely new reactor to treat 2,000
m3/d for both organic load reduction and nitrogen removal. Wastewater will arrive to the new
reactor after the existing primary treatment, and will flow to a new secondary clarifier.
Detailed Process Description and supporting technical documentation are presented below and
in technical equipment data sheets (Annexes). If you have any questions or require additional
information please feel free to contact us.

2 Process description
The wastewater treatment plant design will have the following units:
Primary treatment:
o Fine screening – existing
o EQ tank – existing
o Primary clarifier– existing
o Primary DAF– existing
o pH correction system – existing
o Nutrients dosing system (phosphoric acid) – to be added
o Antifoam dosing system – to be added
Biological treatment:
o IFAS system - new
o Secondary clarifier – new
The proposed biological process is the IFAS (Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge) AGAR ®
system, which utilizes attached growth on ABC (Aqwise Biomass Carriers) with suspended solids
returned from the clarifier.
The AGAR® technology will be installed in a biological reactor with an operative volume of 4,250 m3.
The 1st stage will be an anoxic stage for pre-denitrification. This stage will be equipped with
mechanical mixers and diffusers as backup for aeration.
The 2nd stage will be an aerobic stage for BOD removal and some nitrification.
The 3rd stage will be an aerobic stage for complete nitrification. Biomass carriers will be
filled inside this stage.
The 4th stage will be an anoxic stage for post-denitrification. This stage will also be
equipped with mechanical mixers.
The 5th stage will be a small aerobic stage for post-aeration to increase DO levels in the
final effluent. This stage could also be built outside of the biological reactor and requires
only a short retention time.
The reactor will be divided into 2 symmetric lines working in parallel for ease of maintenance and
redundancy.
6
Aeration will be achieved by fine bubble diffusers in all aerobic stages.
Wedge wire screens will be installed at the outlet of the 3 rd stage in order to maintain the carriers
inside the reactor, while the wastewater flows downstream. The screens are continuously cleaned
by the mixing flow of water, air bubbles and biomass carriers.
An internal re-circulation from the 3rd (aerobic) stage to the 1st (anoxic) stage will ensure sufficient
denitrification.
The treated wastewater will flow from the biological reactor to a secondary clarifier for solid-liquid
separation.
Returned activated sludge (RAS) will be re-circulated from the secondary clarifier to the 1 st stage of
the biological reactor.

3 Technical data
Value
Sludge quantities are considered for the max BOD and TKN inlet values. However it is
recommended to assume sludge quantities for average inlet conditions. Since peak conditions are
usually temporal and not ongoing; the real sludge quantities will be lower.
8
As we do not have Average inlet values, we based our design on the full range of Min and Max inlet
values. We recommend considering average inlet values to assume more representative sludge
quantities for further treatment and disposal.

4 Equipment specifications
Tubular Wedge wire screens are offered, valid for a maximum inlet flow rate of 500 m3/h, including
IC and RAS.

4.3.1. Air blowers
Aqwise will provide three (3) blowers, to provide all oxygen necessary for the biological process. At
any moment, two blowers will be operated, while the 3rd will be on stand-by (2+1).

4.3.2. Diffusers system
A Fine bubble aeration system was defined for this installation due to its high energy efficiency. The
diffusers will be distributed on the reactor floor according to Aqwise specific design.
Air distribution in the reactor is by drop leg pipes. On the reactor floor air is distributed by a grid via
fine bubble diffusers.
(*) Diffusers will also be installed inside the anoxic stages. The diffusers in the anoxic stages will be
coarse bubble type, and will assist to get a faster stabilization of the biological process, and also to
control the anoxic/aerobic conditions inside the reactor.

4.3 Mixers in anoxic zones
Good mixing of the pre and post anoxic zones is important in order to have good de-nitrification.
ABS submersible mixers are offered for this function.
The submersible mixer is designed as a compact, water pressure tight unit including propeller and
integrally casted installation bracket for the attachment on the square guide tube. Mixers Include
option for angle adjustment.

Specifications:
Number of units: 5 units (2 for each line + 1 stand-by in dry
storage)
Flow: 125 - 175 m³/h
Hydraulic pressure: 7.0 – 8.0 m
Temperature monitoring by thermal sensors (140 °C) in the
stator windings.
Seal monitoring by a moisture probe (DI) in the seal chamber
which signals an inspection alerts if there is leakage at the
shaft seals. Submersible pumps for IC
Maximum submergence depth of 20 m.
MOC: Housing and impeller – cast iron (EN-GJL-250); Shaft – AISI 420; Fasteners and
lifting hoop – AISI 316
Motor power: 3.0 – 4.5 kW
Voltage: 400 V
Frequency: 50 Hz

4.5 Air-Lifts
The airlift is essentially a U-shaped tube with one end set just
beneath water level (300 mm) while the other extending above the
water level up to 25% of the submergence depth. Using a
telescopic sleeve on the submerged side of the airlift pump, one
can adjust the suction flow.

4.7 Extra instrumentation and equipment (not in Aqwise scope)
Flow meters – currently we have no information regarding flow measuring. For better process
control we ask that a flow meter will be installed on Inlet, RAS, WAS and internal circulation lines,
and that the flow will be measured continuously.
pH control in the biological reactor - We ask that additional pH monitoring will occur in the biological
reactor itself. Sometimes in industrial applications pH changes in the biological reactor due to
reactions occurring in the reactor. We would like to avoid a condition in which pH becomes
problematic to the biological process (e.g. below 6 or above 8). In this case the pH control will stop
feeding into the reactor in order to protect the microorganisms in the reactor and pH correction
measurements will be applied.
DO control in the biological reactor and Pressure indication on main air pipe – both aerobic stages
in the reactor should have DO monitoring (dissolved oxygen) for better control of aeration and
energy requirements.
DO probes will control the level of which the blowers will be operated (via VFD). If DO level is too
low or too high, the blowers’ frequency will be increased or decreased accordingly.
Anti-Foam detector and system – Foam may appear in the aerobic stages. An anti-foam system will
be installed according to Aqwise specifications. The system will be based on recirculating clean
water (after solids-liquid separation) and spraying it on the reactor surface. Into the water line, a
dosing pump will dose anti-foam chemical (Nalco 71101 or equal). In addition, we ask to install a
foam detector, based on a through beam photoelectric switch. The foam detector will insure that
anti-foam chemical will be dosed to the anti-foam system only when necessary, and will save costs.
