following specifications: _3ZS5
13.2 The sludge holding chamber shall a of sufficient capacity to provide a total volume
minimum chamber volume of allons: The vessel shall be so shaped on each
side to prevent sludge accumulation, to enhance the rotation of the vessel contents,
and to scum and froth accumulation. To insure maximum retention and eliminate
w� } 5u' short circuiting of minuscule sewage particles, the aeration chamber shall be
Dconstructed with air diffusers, laced longitudinally along one side of the chamber so
P 9 Y 9
as to, in conjunction with flow control baffles, enhance the spiral rotation of the
chamber contents. To ensure adequate circulation velocity, the proportion of the
1 •� chamber width to depth, in the direction of rotation, shall not exceed 1.33 to 1. The
velocity of rotation shall be sufficient to scour the bottom and prevent sludge filleting
as well as to prevent the escape to the surface of minuscule air diffusion bubbles
and by so causing their entrapment to provide maximum oxygenation efficiency.
13.3 An air distribution manifold shall be installed longitudinally on one side of the tank
with diffuser drop assemblies connected thereto. This manifold shall be designed to
create a bank of air to supply the air needs of the system, and other ancillary
equipment such as the air diffusers, airlift pumps, and scum skimmer to draw from
this bank of air.
13.4 Each diffuser drop assembly shall be equipped with an air regulating and/or shutoff
valve, a disconnecting union and a diffuser bar with non -clog air diffuser nozzles
mounted on the tee bar. The air flow Der diffuser shall range from 1 to 5 CFM. This ✓r
minimum air velocity shall be maintained to insure sufficient velocity for self -cleaning. —
The diffusers shall be parallel to and near the base of the vessel side wall and at an
elevation which will provide the optimum diffusion and mixing of the vessel contents.
The oxygen transfer capacity of each diffuser shall be such that an adequate supply
of oxygen will be maintained in the aeration chamber to meet treatment
requirements of the design sewage load. The air diffuser shall be on the air check
diaphragm type constructed with a diaphragm mounted on top of the diffuser body.
The diffuser body consists of twenty, 3/16" diameter air discharge holes evenly
distributed around the diffuser disk. The diffuser will be supplied with standard male
pipe thread connections.
13.5 The flow into the sludge holding tank shall be direct from the sludge return pump.
The necessary piping and valving shall be supplied to allow the to occur manually at
the plant operators requirements. A supernantent return facilities shall be provided
so that the overflow will return to the aeration chamber.
