3.7 Schedule of Operation

Contractors are advised to consider in their proposal the commissioning, operation and maintenance
(from start-up until the full capacity is utilized) starting from the acceptance of the works.

4.0 SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT COMPONENTS

The proposed sewage treatment process shall consist of preliminary, secondary and sludge
treatment facilities using Dynamic SBR Technology. Preliminary treatment consists of bar screen and
equalization tank. The secondary treatment consists of sequencing batch reactors and disinfection.

Waste sludge from the secondary

treatment will be stabilized in the aerobic sludge digester prior to desludging and dewatering. Sludge
cakes produced will be hauled and disposed offsite.

4.1 Preliminary Treatment

4.1.1 Screening

Raw sewage will be collected through a sewer system that will converge at the sewage treatment
plant. Sewage is then pumped to a bar screen chamber where large objects such as rags, paper,
plastics, metals and the like will be removed. These objects, if not removed, may damage the pumps
and sludge removal equipment, hang over weirs and block valves, nozzles, channels, pipelines, and
appurtenances; thus, creating serious plant operation and maintenance problems.

Bar screen clear opening between bars should be no less than one inch (25.4mm) for manually clean
screens. It should be placed on a slope of 30 to 45 degrees from the horizontal. The bar screens shall
be provided with screenings dewatering mechanisms. Bar screen shall be protected by guard railing
and deck gratings, with adequate provisions for removal or opening to facilitate raking.

4.1.2 Equalization Tank

Sewage shall be stored temporarily in an Equalization Tank (ET), which acts to equalize the flow in
terms of both hydraulic and organic loading. Two submersible pumps, one as duty and the other as
standby, (with flow control valves to control transfer of sewage), shall be installed in the equalization
tank. The PLC shall control the transfer of influent wastewater from the Equalization Tank to the bio-
selection zone of each basin. The ET tank shall be sized for four (4) hours hydraulic retention at
average dry weather flow. This holding capacity shall accommodate peak flows without
compromising the performance of the treatment process.

The equalization tank shall be aerated with coarse bubble diffusers.

4.1.3 Alkalinity Dosing

NaOH shall be dosed in the wastewater stream automatically with the use of a pH controller to
neutralize the level of the pH to about 6.0 to 8.0. There should be enough alkalinity remaining to
protect the final pH value from falling if any additional acid were formed or added downstream.

4.2 Secondary Treatment

4.2.1 Basin

Single basin shall be constructed separated into two parts by a non-hydrostatic baffle as follows:

a) Pre-reaction chamber for Bio-selection zone and Influent Distribution System

b) Main Reaction Chamber

Influent first enters the bio-selection zone of the basin at a continuous flow. The Bio-selection
together with the influent distribution system shall serve as an organic selector for the process.

The SBR should be able to operate and handle normal cycle conditions and storm cycle conditions.

The main biological treatment process shall take place in the Main Reaction Chamber under cyclic
sequential operation of three phases;

i. Aeration/Nitrification Phase

ii. Anoxic/Denitrification Phase

iii. Settling Phase

iv. Decant Phase

(1) Aeration/Nitrification Phase

(a) For air requirements below five (< 5) Nm3/min, a positive displacement blower is allowed. Air
requirements above five (> 5) Nm3/min, a centrifugal air-bearing turbo blower is required. The
blowers shall provide adequate air supply for biological activity under required operating conditions.
The duty blowers should have sufficient capacity to provide enough aeration for the biological
treatment and for nutrient removal requirement. A standby unit should be installed to continuously
provide the required air supply in case of breakdown of the duty blower.

(b) Air blower control valves shall control the airflow so that it is directed to the basin.

(c) Air Diffusers should meet the following requirements:

- Fine bubble diffuser type;

- Consist of diffuser elements, distribution piping, valves, air manifolds, blower assembly,

- Include all associated equipment to provide aeration and mixing for the aeration tank(s);

- Provide the required actual oxygen transfer rates as well as provide complete mixing over the
entire tank.

- Diffusers membrane material shall be EPDM with PTFE coating

(2) Anoxic/Denitrification Phase

(a) An Anoxic phase is required as part of the biological nutrient removal to promote denitrification
process. Proper mixing of contents must be provided using a submersible denitrification mixer for
the Dynamic SBR process.

(3) Settlement Phase

(a) Immediately after the aeration sequence, settlement/clarification shall occur. Upon the cessation
of aeration, activated sludge shall settle quickly, within the first thirty minutes.

(b) The conditions in the basin shall become anoxic. DE nitrification and further carbonaceous
oxidation occur during this phase.

(4) Decant Phase

(a) Following the settlement phase, the decant sequence shall be initiated to remove the clear,
treated liquid from the Top Water Level to the Bottom Water Level, the minimum level of decant.

(b) The treated liquor shall be removed by decanter and will fall into the Effluent Tank by gravity. The
decanter shall be sized to ensure uniform draw-off rate, without disturbance of the settled sludge
interface.

(c) A floating decanter made of SS304 is required to discharge the biologically treated water from the
basin and to ensure that only the layer of clear water is decanted at all times. A scum/sludge
exclusion should be installed to eliminate any possibilities of solids/biomass carryover during these
periods, and to allow an easy access and service without the need to enter the basin.

(d) Denitrification and carbonaceous oxidation shall continue during this sequence.

Excessive sludge shall be wasted to the Sludge Holding Tank by one duty sludge wasting pump during
the decant phase. At the end of the decant phase, the cycle shall be repeated with the start of
aeration. The cycle/sequential operation shall be controlled automatically by a Programmable Logic
Controller inside the Control Panel. Variable duration for the aeration phase shall be chosen to
minimize energy consumption with respect to predictable low load conditions. Manual override for
control of the process shall also be provided in the control panel.

The biological design should be based on the biomass required for nitrification instead of the
biomass required for BOD removal.

4.2.2 Phosphate Removal

Aluminium Chlorohydrate (ACH) with 23% active content, is dosed in the process for the removal of
phosphates. ACH preparation and automatic dosing equipment must be provided.

4.3 Disinfection

4.3.1 Chlorine Contact Chamber

Decanted sewage from the SBR shall be disinfected in the chlorine contact chamber. The chlorine
contact chamber shall be provided with baffles to avoid short circuiting of flows and designed for at
least 30 minutes retention time. Enteric organisms associated with various waterborne diseases
contained in the sewage shall be removed.

The disinfection unit should be utilized and capable of eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in the
effluent prior to discharge. The Contractor shall provide a final effluent chlorination system that
incorporates use of sodium hypochlorite. The sodium hypochlorite shall be delivered to the site in
liquid form at minimum 7% concentration. The final effluent shall be required to achieve the
minimum disinfection standard as indicated by the Coliform levels in Effluent Limits.

The chlorine contact chamber should be properly sized based on the decanted water per cycle and
the treated sea water.

4.3.2 Flow Measurement

The influent and effluent lines shall be provided with measuring devices such as electronic
ransducers that can be read/accessed from the programmable logic.

4.4 Sludge Treatment

4.4.1 Aerobic Sludge Digesters

Excess sludge generated from the Dynamic SBR tank shall be stored and stabilized in the aerobic
digester. Aerobic digestion is a method of sludge stabilization in an open tank. Microbiological
activity beyond cell synthesis is stimulated by the aeration, oxidizing the biodegradable organic
matter and some cellular material CO2, H2O and NO3.

The aerobic digester shall be provided with aeration system. Aeration system shall consist of non-clog
diffusers type or approved equal, diffusers piping, and aeration blower equipment. The air diffusers
are connected to the air blower, separate from the air blowers used in the aeration tank.

4.5 Dewatering Facility (Optional)

Digested sludge will be dewatered using pressure filter press. The sludge passes through the cloth
while the solids are retained and form a cake on the surface of the cloth. Sludge cake produced shall
be hauled and disposed off-site to agricultural lands as soil conditioners. Polymer is added to
strengthen the sludge formed.

Other sludge dewatering equipment may be proposed but shall be submitted to the Owner for
approval.
