BTW... Thanks to this video, we built a rig very similar to yours. It's not perfect, as there are some things Operations would have done differently, but it works. Saves the wrestling of such a long sampler.Highly recommend investing in this sort of rig as it makes the samples more uniform, accurate and eliminates some handling damage to the samplers.
Thanks !!! That’s about what I imagined. Our tanks are not covered, I have ideas on that modification. As of this writing there are no electronic blanket trackers installed, but they should be coming. Sharing this with the holders of the $$$ ASAP !!! We need this set up.
So I'm looking to get an depth overview of a wwtp. Engineering, operation, compliance, how to, common problems, solving problems. What would you say is the best resource? Book? Video?
That’s like ten books Josh! I always try to refer people to the “Ken Kerri” volumes offered by California state university at Sacramento. If you get through those and haven’t tired. There’s more in depth material But start there.
The powers that be have agreed that we will add these if we continue to core sample as opposed to electronic measuring. I say we need both. Still debating.
Very nice video ! One thing i do not understand. Why do you get the highest RAS concentrations at lower plant flows ? We get high RAS concentrations at high plant flows when lot's of mixed liquor is in the secondary clarifiers.
Frederik Great question. I’m not totally sure. This plant runs a ratio ras control so as the flow to the clarifies increases the ras flow is modulated higher to maintain a constant %. If you were running a constant ras flow I would imagine the concentration would be higher at higher flows.
We had a flagpole for the sludge judge at my old plant. Worked j like this.

Glad to here it!

Let me know if you run a constant ras flow rate. That might be the answer.
