Great video. I had the thought of the flow meter but in that case you should see a disparity In that flow vs effluent. We have had this problem with actuated valves at my old plant as well sometimes we had to switch to manual and full open to clear any obstruction and that usually resolved the issue.
Just watched this one. Great lesson on the thought process of trouble shooting. Much to be learned here.Thanks for the efforts to keep this industry informed
@@7ankss High I/I reduces your DT in the aeration basin causing partial nitrification so up your CFM's. My plant is an AWTP, 5 stage BARDO, we have strict nutrient removal mandates for surface effluent discharges. NH3 probes, DO probes help you out. Keep that ammonia under control or your down stream process (dentification) will give you problems in your secondary clarifiers and put your plant out of compliance and give yourself HEADACHES. Good luck.
The valve actuator open/close percentage should be on your SCADA. If it were an actual blockage, your blower motor AMPS would have increased (or required a Hz increase to reach you SCFPM)

Great video! Hope to see more produced. Thank you for taking the initiative.
This is cool! I run a MBR plant and it's good to see someone doing this!
Thanks Judd! stay tuned for more to come!

nice diagnostic !
Nice background , let´s see it all red and blinking !

I work at an activated sludge plant . Can you make videos on ab basin health ?
