SymBio� application: <br />➢ Reduced O&M costs with two-ditch operation compared to three-ditch operarion <br />➢ Energy savings of at least 50°/a compared to existing operation of Plant #3 <br />➢ Improved sludge settling chazacteristics (see Rochelle, IL case study in Section 3) <br />➢ Effluent TIN below 10 mg/L <br />➢ Real-tune biolo9cal activity information from NADH fluorometer with minirnal <br />maintenance <br />➢ Payback of less than 20 months (excluding installation costs, assuming energy costs <br />$0.10/kWhr) <br />In addition to the benefits listed above, a possible benefit that could resuit from this application <br />is increased treahnent capacity. Our process calculations indicate that Plant #3 could handle an <br />average flow of 7.5 MGD (150% increase) assuming comparabie loadings. Depending upon the <br />degree of success of this installation, a plant capacity re-rating could extend the timeline for <br />future plant upgrades. <br />SymBio� technology has been successfully implemented at a similar oxidation ditch plant in Big <br />Beaz City, CA resulting in a 33% reduction in energy consumption and an effluent TIN below <br />3.0 mg/L (see case study in Section 3). The modifications made to that plant aze the basis for the <br />following proposal. <br />---�tt4ttal-g1an�T�pg�ad�to-SxmBio� — ----- <br />The initial plant upgrade will address cturent operating conditions. For the initial installation we <br />recommend the following package at a cost of $165,100.00 (excluding taxes and installation <br />costs): <br />➢ SymBio� process operating license for two-ditch operation <br />➢ One (1) NADH fluorometer and mounting bracket <br />➢ Two (2) DO meters and mounting brackets <br />➢ One (1) control panel with locai HIvII/SCADA system <br />➢ Two (2) VFDs (100 hp, 3-phase, 460 VAC) without mounting hazdware <br />➢ Field service and operator training, six (6) days, three (3) trips maximum <br />➢ Remote monitoring for two (2) months using pcAnywhere remote access software <br />➢ Shipping & Handling <br />Saddleback Environmental Equipment will address sepazately the field installation of the <br />SymBio� system, including the mounting of the probes and the installation of the SymBio� <br />control panel and VFDs. For process control we recommend installing an NADH fluorometer <br />and a DO meter in Ditch #3, a DO meter in Ditch #4, VFDs at the existing MCCs for the surface <br />
