Rosemount Analytical: Wastewater Industry Solutions

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document serves as a comprehensive guide to wastewater treatment solutions, focusing on the critical role of liquid analysis in optimizing treatment processes. It highlights the expertise and products offered by Emerson Process Management in this field.
1. Introduction to Wastewater Treatment: Wastewater is primarily water with a small percentage of dissolved and suspended solids, originating from homes and industries. Efficient treatment processes are necessary to comply with regulations and minimize maintenance costs.
2. Treatment Stages: Wastewater treatment consists of four main stages: primary, secondary, sludge, and final treatment. Each stage utilizes different methods, including physical, chemical, and biological processes, to eliminate contaminants.
3. Analytical Measurements: Key measurements in wastewater treatment include pH, ORP, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, chlorination, and dechlorination. These are crucial for monitoring and optimizing the treatment process.
4. Primary Treatment: This stage involves the mechanical or physical separation of solids from liquids, using screening, grit removal, and sedimentation to eliminate larger particles and debris.
5. Secondary Treatment: Biological processes are employed in this stage to further purify wastewater. Aeration tanks facilitate the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms, with proper dissolved oxygen levels being essential for efficiency.
6. Final Treatment: Disinfection through chlorination and dechlorination ensures the treated water is safe for environmental release.
7. Emerson's Solutions: Emerson provides a range of analytical products, including sensors and analyzers, designed to deliver accurate measurements and endure harsh environments, supporting wastewater treatment processes.
Conclusion: The document underscores the importance of reliable liquid analysis in wastewater treatment and highlights Emerson's role in offering advanced solutions to optimize these processes.
Advanced Techniques: The document discusses advanced techniques necessary for water reuse and environmental protection, emphasizing the removal of phosphorus, nitrogen, and other contaminants through filtration, carbon adsorption, and reverse osmosis.
Filtration and Turbidity Monitoring: Filtration is crucial for removing bacteria, turbidity, color, and odors. The Clarity II On-Line Turbidimeter monitors turbidity and indicates filter breakthrough, prompting backwashing.
Nitrification and Denitrification: Nitrification converts ammonia to nitrites and nitrates, requiring sufficient oxygen and stable pH levels. Denitrification reduces nitrates to nitrogen gas in the absence of oxygen. Continuous monitoring of pH and dissolved oxygen is critical, with the Model RDO providing reliable DO measurements.
Sludge Treatment: Sludge treatment reduces volume and decomposes organic solids through aerobic and anaerobic digestion, requiring measurements of pH, DO, temperature, and sludge blanket level. Anaerobic digestion produces methane, usable as fuel.
Chlorination and Dechlorination: Chlorine is used for disinfection, but levels must be regulated to protect aquatic life. Dechlorination removes excess chlorine using chemicals like sulfur dioxide. The Model TCL Total Chlorine System measures chlorine levels, while ORP sensors monitor oxidizing activity.
Final Treatment and Monitoring: Disinfection is the final stage, using chlorine or alternatives like ozone and UV to kill pathogens. Continuous online monitoring of parameters like pH, total suspended solids, ORP, and conductivity is essential for compliance and plant performance.
Emerson Process Management: Emerson provides advanced analytical solutions for water treatment, emphasizing the importance of accurate online instrumentation. Their PlantWeb architecture integrates devices and systems to optimize process control and reduce costs.

PRIMARY TREATMENT Influent Treatment Mechanical or Physical Separation of Solids The main activity of treatment occurring in the Primary Treatment stage consists of mechanical or physical separation of the solids from the liquid. At the plant inlet, wastewater can be loaded with biological activity producing nuisance odors and hazardous In many wastewater plants, the influent pH and conductivity are measured. These measurements are used for monitoring purposes, and will alert the plant operator of a possible upset condition. A sudden change in influent conductivity, for example, may indicate...

A combined sewer system design carries both sanitary wastewater and storm water in the same pipe to the treatment plant. During periods of heavy rainfall or snow melt, the wastewater volume may exceed the plant capacity and excess untreated wastewater is discharged to nearby streams, rivers, and lakes. This discharge disturbs the biological systems, may contaminate our drinking water sources, and creates threats to public health by coming in contact with untreated wastewater. The United States EPA estimates there are thousands of these incidents each year. Regulation, guidelines and measures...

SECONDARY TREATMENT the floc use up the DO first. If this happens, the floc breaks up. Remove Remaining Organics Secondary treatment removes up to 85% of the remaining organic material through a biological process by cultivating and adding sewage microorganisms to the wastewater. This process is accomplished in a trickling filter or an aeration tank. A trickling filter uses With a complete range of measurement inputs that can be configured in any combination, the Model 1056 is ideal for municipal plants with dual measurement requirements. a bed of stones or pieces of corrugated plastic media....

maintain the correct amount of DO in the secondary treatment stage. And according to the USEPA, plant energy costs may be reduced by as much as 50 percent. DO introduced in the aeration basins also provides the added benefit of mixing, thus bringing the microorganisms, oxygen, and nutrient together. Mixing also removes metabolic waste products. Too much mixing can break up the floc or form unstable floc particles. If there is inadequate mixing, proper secondary treatment will not take place since there is a lack of contact between the bugs, their food and the oxygen source. Finally, the mixing...

SLUDGE TREATMENT ADDITIONAL TREATMENT Volume Reduction and Decomposition Volume Reduction and Decomposition During the wastewater treatment process, sludge has been generated along the way from the settling basins or clarifiers, and secondary treatment. This sludge contains high concentrations of microorganisms, many of which are pathogenic, and will decay and produce odors. Sludge however can be used for a soil conditioner, agricultural fertilizer, or for landfill after it has been treated to remove the harmful contaminants. Since the early 1970's, an optional stage that falls between secondary...

FINAL TREATMENT Disinfection In the final stage of wastewater treatment, disinfectants are added to kill disease-causing organisms and microorganisms used in the treatment process. Disinfection inactivates or destroys pathogenic organisms and prevents the spread of waterborne diseases to down-stream users and the environment. A common disinfectant is chlorine gas, but some municipalities use their own chlorine solution such as sodium hypochlorite. ORP Sensor Model 396P can be used to establish the ORP starting point. In many areas, local or national agencies regulate the amount of chlorine allowed...
