With many different products, vendors, and consultants, the specifying language can get misleading and executed improperly. This can lead to confusion and costly changes either post bid or in the field. This session will discuss the process for correctly specifying products for municipalities and updating them as necessary.

al crop marks

In 2011, construction of a new 1.4 MGD well for the Wareham Fire District was put on hold when an abutting owner appealed the final permit application.

KORTMANN, Ph.D., Limnologist/President, Ecosystem Consulting Service, Inc., Coventry, CT Cyanobacteria cause water treatment difficulties, taste and odor episodes, chemical dosing fluctuation, shortened filter runs, increased oxidant demand, and some produce Cyanotoxins. Cyanobacteria have evolved a variety of adaptations to out-compete other algae, and occupy a variety of phytoplanktonic and benthic niches. Management approaches can reduce Cyanobacteria by avoiding their competitive advantages: low light requirement, ability to fix nitrogen, and buoyancy control. Desirable phytoplankton can be favored by managing silica limitation of Diatoms, CO2 availability, grazing rate, mixing depth. 4:00 PM — Final Questions & Answers - All Speakers

Tuesday Morning, September 23rd Technical Session C Water Treatment

8:30 AM to 11:10 AM ~ Rockport Room 2.0 Training Contact Hours

8:30 AM — Welcome and Introduction 8:40 AM — “Design Chemical Injection and Mixing Using CFD Modeling” by MATTHEW T. VALADE, P.E., Vice President, Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., Boston, MA In water treatment processes often several chemicals are introduced and mixed into a flowing stream. The chemicals can be a polymer to enhance flocculation, a disinfectant to meet CT requirements, or phosphate to adjust pH range. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling is a cost-effective tool to evaluate different chemical injection and mixing design alternatives. In this presentation, we will discuss several recent CFD applications for multiport diffusers, static mixers and mechanical mixers. 9:10 AM — “Construction Challenges and Outcomes for the Danvers Water Treatment Plant” by TARA C. HOURIHAN, P.E., Project Professional, Kleinfelder, Cambridge, MA and RICHARD P. RODGERS, P.E., Danvers Town Engineer, DPW Engineering Division, Danvers, MA The recently completed $18 million Danvers WTP upgrades construction project included a new ozone treatment facility, residuals handling facility, filter building, and extensive rehabilitation work to the existing plant – all constructed on a small site with the WTP still in operation. This presentation will review how construction was implemented to minimize operational impacts, describe the working relationship developed between the town and the contractor, and present early treatment performance results with the upgrades in operation. 9:40 AM — “Granular Activated Carbon Media – A Case Study on the Pros/Cons of Iron Bacteria Residency” by CHRISTOPHER M. SILKE, P.E., Senior Project Manager, WrightPierce Engineers, Portsmouth, NH A discovery of profound Gallionella infestation within a GAC filter

al crop marks bed through in-house microscopy led to laboratory findings that

the microorganism was responsible for higher dissolved inorganic carbon concentrations, efficient iron and manganese uptake, steeper chlorine residual decay curves, pH instability, higher Total Trihalomethane concentrations and was the probable cause behind a non-acute Total Coliform Rule violation. All side effects of the biological infestation occurred while filtered water turbidity was less than 0.10 NTUs and TOC removal exceeded 65 percent.

10:10 AM — “Demystifying Controlling Copper Corrosion” by MICHAEL R. SCHOCK, Chemist, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, OH The LCR systematically misses the highest health and corrosion risk sites for copper. Additionally, there are growing concerns for WWTP copper in sludges and discharge levels. There are many corrosion control differences between copper and lead. This presentation explains the sometimes counter-intuitive impacts of pH, alkalinity, oxidants, chloride, sulfate, NOM, and orthophosphate on copper release and the poorly-understood “aging” phenomenon, which can be either helpful or detrimental. Some related water quality impacts on pitting and pinhole leaks will be covered. 10:40 AM — “The Impact of Process Changes on At-the-Tap Lead Concentrations in Jamestown, Rhode Island” by DONALD Q. BUNKER, JR., P.E., Senior Principal Engineer, Fay, Spofford & Thorndike, Burlington, MA and MICHAEL GRAY, P.E., Public Works Director, Town of Jamestown, Jamestown, RI A new WTP utilizing immersed membrane technology was constructed in 2009. In an attempt to improve treated water quality and reduce backwash frequency polyaluminum chloride (PACl) was used for coagulation for short periods of time, and used full-time beginning in November 2008. Following start-up of the new WTP, Jamestown experienced an increase in distribution system at-the-tap lead concentrations…the 90th percentile lead concentration was 89 μg/L. Following a change in primary coagulant from PACl to alum, the town has been able to reduce the 90th percentile lead concentration and come back into compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule. 11:10 AM — Final Questions & Answers - All Speakers Reminder - How to Earn TCHs • Present your badge to the moderator upon entering the session room.

Water, Water, Could be Everywhere!

It’s our 8th Aging Infrastructure Simulation Contest Here’s the way it works . . . Our water delivery systems are aging and often they’re said to be held together with “paper clips, band-aids, and chewing gum.” Many water department personnel are pretty darn good at holding things together in this manner. Here’s your opportunity to demonstrate your skills or discover how difficult it is working with only what you’ve got.

RULES FOR YOUR TEAM AND THE JUDGES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

All construction materials and water will be provided to each team at 11:45 AM on Tuesday, September 23rd at the start of the event. A team can consist of either two or three members (no more); talk to your friend(s). The Team Leader must be a NEWWA member. Teams must have a name or one will be assigned by the judges. All teams must register at the Conference Registration Desk before 4:00 PM on Monday, September 22nd. (So the judges can secure the necessary materials.) 6. Each team should bring one standard X-acto knife with #11 blade to modify the provided construction materials. The knife may not be used for the support structure. 7. The provided elevated tank construction materials kit may include: a. One 16-oz plastic Solo cup (this is your tank). b. 30 standard non-flexible plastic straws (Market Basket or equivalent brand). c. 20 large paper clips (1-inch height deduction for not using paper clips). d. One pack of chewing gum (1-inch height deduction for not using gum). e. Four regular band-aids (1-inch height deduction for not using band-aids). f. Six rubber bands. g. Eight push pins. h. 20 inches of string. i. 12 toothpicks (flat). j. One marker & cutting board (not to be used for tank support structure). 8. WARNING - One or more components will be added or removed by the judges at the start of the construction period. (Change happens!)

JUDGING A team arriving with less than two members cannot participate; last minute subs are OK. Each team will be given 30 minutes to construct the tallest free-stranding tank that holds 8 ounces of water to be added by the judges just after measuring the height from the base to the top rim of the cup. Each team’s time for completion of construction will be recorded by the judges and used for the purpose of breaking a height measurement tie. Tank must stand and hold 8 ounces of water for 30 seconds.
