Honorable President
and Members of the City Council,
Transmitted herewith is a Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with Wells
Engineers Environmental,Inc. to perform a study to establish the feasibility of converting an unused
digester into a full-scale anaerobic treatment system for high organic wastewater. The wastewater
from the Great Lakes Chemical Co. is high in organics, low in solids, it produces biogas and causes •
odors in the secondary treatment.
The purpose of the study is to determine if an unused anaerobic digester at the Missouri River Waste
Treatment Plant can be used to separately process the wastewater from the Chemical Company and
what it would cost to do so. Benefits of such a conversion would be increased gas production for
electrical generation and lower loading cost in the secondary treatment system; Details of what will
be studied are in the Scope of Services attached to the Resolution.
Wells Engineers Environmental, Inc. has agreed to perform the study for a fixed fee which will not
exceed$24,200.00. This amount will be paid from the Sanitary Sewer Improvement Organization
1485, Fund 544.
Wells Engineers Environmental, Inc. was selected to perform the required engineering services in
accord with the Architect's and Engineer's Review and Selection Committee. Wells Engineers has
filed the required Annual Contract Compliance Report From, CC-1, in the Human Relations
Department. The Director of Human Relations will review the firm to determine its compliance with
Ordinance 28885.
The Public Works Department requests your consideration and approval of the attached Resolution.

CITY OF OMAHA
STUDY OF ANAEROBIC TREATMENT OF Q.O. CHEMICAL WASTEWATER
AT THE MISSOURI RIVER WASTE TREATMENT PLANT
SCOPE OF SERVICES
GENERAL
This scope of services for the study is based upon using the paper entitled "Anaerobic
Treatment of a Furfural Production Waste and its Effect on a Publicly-Owned Treatment
Works" prepared by David J. Petrocchi as a document that establishes the amenability of
anaerobically treating the Q.O. Chemical, a division of Great Lakes Chemical Company (QO)
wastewater in the existing unused anaerobic digester at the Missouri River Waste Treatment
Plant. The purpose of the study is to resolve the issues that will likely occur during the
implementation of a full-scale operation and prepare an estimate of cost for a full-scale
operation. The goals of a full-scale operation would be to: reduce the BOD5 loading to the
trickling filters and increase the quantity of biogas generated through anaerobic digestion of
the QO wastewater.
1. Initial Meeting
Prepare for and attend an initial meeting with the City Staff to collect background
information on the existing facilities and structures, discuss operational issues which
may effect the results of the study, collect pertinent sampling data, discuss the need for
additional data collection and go over the project schedule.
The City will develop the design loadings for the QO wastewater which consists of the
stripper bottoms from the production of furfural that is proposed to be discharged to
the unused anaerobic digester for anaerobic treatment. The design loadings are to be
based upon the daily average values over a maximum 7-day production period
including: daily flow, COD, soluble COD, BOD5, soluble BOD5, total suspended
solids, and volatile suspended solids. Assistance will be provided to review and
comment on the design loadings.
2. Alkalinity Addition
Assuming the belt press filtrate water from a 5-day per week operation (sometimes 4
days/week) is added to the anaerobic digester, and that QO raises the pH of the stripper
bottoms to a pH of 6.0, compare the resulting alkalinity with the alkalinity needed for
optimum anaerobic digestion. If additional alkalinity is needed estimate the weekly
quantity of alkalinity required for optimum anaerobic digestion. The City will
characterize the belt press filtrate since sludge production has increased since the paper
7
•
• was completed. This. characterization.will include flow, COD, BOD5, soluable COD, •
soluable BOD5, TSS and VSS for the belt press filtrate. This data will be used to
.establish the combined loadings to the anaerobic digester.
3. Nutrients and Trace Minerals
Determine if the addition of filtrate water from the 5-day per week belt press operation
will supply all of the nutrients and trace minerals needed for optimum anaerobic
digestion, including nitrogen, phosphorous, iron, zinc, nickel, cobalt and manganese. If
not, determine what type and quantity of additional nutrients and trace minerals may be
needed and how they would be fed.
4. Heat Dissipation/Utilization
Develop alternatives for a cost-effective way to utilize the heat in the QO wastewater
that is in excess of that needed for optimum mesophilic anaerobic digestion.
Recognizing that there will likely be more heat than can be utilized particularly in the
summer, develop the most cost-effective way to dissipate that heat. Also, determine
what cost savings could be achieved in heat dissipation costs if the digestion were to be
in the thermophilic range. The temperature of the QO wastewater is 65°C at the QO
plant and must be reduced to a level that will produce optimum mesophilic anaerobic
digestion (35°C) or optimum thermophilic anaerobic digestion (55°C).
5. Add Belt Press Filtrate to Anaerobic Digester with Supernatant to DAF •
For full-scale operation, recommend a method of adding the supernatant from the
anaerobic digestion process to the existing DAF unit that is currently treating
secondary clarifier solids and the belt press filtrate water. Study the impact of using
the DAF unit in this manner on odor production. Determine if any additional measure
are needed to mitigate the production of odors, recognizing that additional hydrogen
sulfide will likely be released from the DAF unit. Provide an estimate of the
characteristics of the DAF effluent when combined with the decant from the anaerobic
digester. The City will provide the DAF effluent characteristics without the decant.
6. Treatment Mode and Operating Sequence
Recommend the anaerobic treatment method and the operating sequence using
recommendations in the paper prepared by Dave J. Petrocchi. Estimate the probable
effluent quality of the QO wastewater following full-scale anaerobic treatment of QO
wastewater and belt press filtrate water. Estimate the probable average annual quantity
and the maximum daily quantity of biogas produced during anaerobic digestion.
Estimate the probable daily reduction of COD, CBOD5 and TSS to allow others to
assess the impact on the aerobic treatment system. Study whether adding the DAF
effluent, without further treatment, to the trickling filter influent would be less odorous
than adding it to the primary clarifier influent.
A
•
7. • Mitigating the Impact of QO Inadvertently Discharging Furfural to the Anaerobic
Digester
•
Recognizing that the inadvertent discharge of furfural to the anaerobic digester could
result in toxic levels of 1,000 mg/1 being reached, develop one or more methods of
monitoring critical parameters that would allow the City or QO to stop the discharge of
furfural to the digester. Recommend a method of monitoring pH in the QO wastewater
and the anaerobic digester so QO can be notified as soon as the pH level of the QO
wastewater drops below the agreed level..
8. Storage of Belt Press Filtrate
The QO wastewater is discharged seven days per week and the belt press filtrate water
is produced only five days per week and sometimes four days per week. Determine if
storing the filtrate to allow feeding the anaerobic digester on the same schedule as
adding the QO wastewater is necessary to achieve optimum anaerobic digestion.
9. Treatment Following Anaerobic Digestion
If the projected H2S production resulting from introducing the DAF effluent to the
primary clarifier influent is too high or if the projected release of dissolved gases from
introducing the DAF effluent into the trickling filter influent is not acceptable,
determine the type and the extent of the additional treatment steps, including the
addition of ferric chloride, that may be needed. The goal of the additional treatment
will be minimizing the production of odors. There will be sulfate reducing bacteria in
the QO wastewater supernatant following anaerobic digestion and those bacteria will
strip oxygen from the sulfates in the rest of the wastewater at the treatment plant.
Determine the most effective means of killing the sulfate reducing bacteria so there is a
minimum of hydrogen sulfide production.
10. Schematic Drawings and Digestion System Recommendations
Develop a schematic drawing showing a full-scale operation for receiving, treating and
discharging the treated QO wastewater in the remaining flow at the Missouri River
wastewater treatment plant, including biogas handling. Provide recommendations for
the following:
•
a. Route of the QO line from the North headworks to the unused anaerobic
• digester. •
b. Type of mixing system for the anaerobic digester.
c. Type of cover.
d. Method of biogas recovery and the method of introducing the biogas into the
existing biogas utilization system.
11. Estimates of Cost
Develop estimates of cost to implement the full scale anaerobic treatment system for the
QO wastewater.
12. Study and Report
Prepare a written study and report incorporating Items 1-11 and then meet with the
•
City of Omaha to discuss the proposed draft of the report. Make any needed
corrections to the draft as a result of the meeting and provide the City of Omaha with
ten completed copies of the report.
