When the ORC discharges, he places a pump in the old aeration basin and pumps water to the old clarifier. Flow is measured using pump run times. Aeration Basins Yes No NA NE Mode of operation Ext. Air Type of aeration system Surface Is the basin free of dead spots? ❑ 0 ❑ ❑ Are surface aerators and mixers operational? ❑ 0 ❑ ❑ Are the diffusers operational? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Is the foam the proper color for the treatment process? ❑0 ❑ ❑ Does the foam cover less than 25% of the basin's surface? ❑ ❑ ❑ Is the DO level acceptable? ❑ ❑ ❑ Is the DO level acceptable?(1.0 to 3.0 mg/1) ❑ ❑ ❑ Comment: Surface aerators are not run. Aeration basin simply acts as a lagoon until water is pumped to the clarifier. Much of the water collected simply evaporates off the surface. Aeration basin water appeared green.
