10. Overcoming water scarcity.
Due to more stringent wastewater treatment effluent requirements,
the Sedapal Wastewater Treatment Plant in Manchay, Peru, faced the
challenge of reducing BOD5 and TSS content in wastewater
treatment effluent by 70% and decreasing the content of helminth
eggs, which is a parasite generally resistant to current forms of
oxidizers and disinfectant technologies, to less than 1/100 ml.
“Peru’s supply of extracted freshwater is dwindling,
and 80% is now used for agricultural purposes.”
Xylem offered a comprehensive solution, converting the original
design for this new facility to an activated sludge plant on the three
hectares of available land.The result? An easy, user-friendly treatment
plant with higher oxygen transfer efficiency, lower operating
costs and high quality non-potable recycled water for agricultural
irrigation. In addition to generating the reusable water, the plant
produces about 900 kilograms of dried biosolids extracted from
the wastewater on a daily basis.The biosolids are used for stabilized
nutrient enrichment of agricultural soil and for stabilized landfill cover.
Farmland irrigation for 1,000 acres a day.
The plant, located in Peru’s Manchay district near Lima, underwent
a complete redesign with Xylem to meet the new Peruvian effluent
requirements for wastewater treatment plants.The centerpiece
was an ICEAS process, a modified sequencing batch reactor (SBR)
process and tertiary filtration using a rapid gravity sand filter that
processes wastewater from the district’s population of 90,000 people
to irrigate 1,000 acres of farmland each day.
Fulfilling a critical need.
Peru’s supply of extracted freshwater is dwindling, and 80% of
that is now being used for agricultural purposes. Peru has a critical
need for biologically treated wastewater for reuse as reclaimed
water, according to Anton G. Callery, treatment process business
development manager for Xylem’s Latin American Operations.
For more details of the Manchay PTAR and the operating data, please
visit our website at www.xyleminc.com/reuse.
Comprehensive water reuse solution
Xylem provided process design, equipment
supply, installation, startup, initial operational
support, training and ongoing technical support.
All components contribute to achieving the right
output of water for reuse.
> Preliminary treatment: Compact equipment,
mechanical coarse screen, sand screw and oil and
grease removal by centrifugal separator.
> Secondary treatment: ICEAS and fine bubble
aeration system including blowers, sludge pumps
and control system.
> Tertiary treatment: Rapid gravity filtration system
and effluent chlorination system to disinfect the
recycled water.
> Sludge treatment: Thickener, sludge holding
tank, lime stabilization unit to meet EPA Class B
requirements as well as desiccation units.
> Fully automated SCADA control system:
Enabling optimized energy costs.
Water reuse and beyond
As a global water solutions provider with thousands
of installations worldwide, Xylem delivers
integrated water reuse solutions that secure future
supply, quality and cost-savings. Every process
technology to convert raw sewage into reusable
water is in our solutions portfolio.

Case Study: Sedapal Wastewater Treatment Plant, Peru.
11. The town of Brielle, near Rotterdam, the Netherlands, is located
on the islands of Voorne and Putten on the Brielse Meer and has a
population of approximately 16,000. In recent years, the existing
centres of Brielle, including the nearby communities of Vierpolders
and Zwartewaal, have been served by a good sewer system.
The background.
Beginning in 2000, the Dutch held nationwide discussions about
whether wastewater generated by Dutch growers, normally utilizing
greenhouses, in the outlying areas of municipalities, such as Brielle,
should be handled by the adjoining municipal sewer system.
Households had been connected to the municipal system in the
1980s.
Before the end of 2000, the government decided that all growers
should be allowed to discharge wastewater continuously into
municipal sewer systems to avoid overflows into ditches and open
waters.The purpose was to limit the amount of processed water that
contains pesticides, fertilizers and other contaminants that might
flow into ditches and, consequently, into open waters.
In Brielle, this meant that waste water from the growers could be
transported to the existing main sewage plant, which currently
collects the water from nearby towns of Bollaarsdijk, Honaardweg
and Schrijversdijk, as well as from the country roads, water ways and
pressurised sewage systems. It also handles water from the outlying
areas of Vierpolders and Zwartewaal.
To handle this amount of wastewater, the Brielle borough council
decided to install 208 pressure-pumping stations. Brielle’s
achievements became a model for other municipalities in Holland.
The problem.
To prevent overflows, growers are required to drain off the
wastewater.To achieve this, the Brielle Borough Council needed a
maximum flow capacity, regardless of how many pumps are running
simultaneously.The standard solution to a pressurized sewer system
(PSS) glass area normally includes a number of high head grinder
pumps connected via a network of small 90 mm pipes.
Here, capacity limitations forces growers to wait in line. For example,
Pressurised sewage solutions.
Case Study: Flygt products from Xylem enable ecofriendly greenhouse cultivations.
12. the system cannot handle more than two or three
growers at a time. However, using Flygt pumps and
controllers, Mr. Piet van Bruinesse of the Brielle Borough
Council found a way to get around this problem. He
connected a larger booster pump directly to the PSS
pump stations with signal cables connected to a Flygt
FGC controller.
In this case, when a local PSS starts, the booster pump
receives a signal to help the smaller, local pumps
by increasing the number of revolutions.This is not
possible by measuring the pressure in the main pipe
systems. Other requirements for attention include:
• Pipe speed between 0.4 and 1.1 m/s.
The discharged waste consists primarily of rinsing
water. Because the pipe speed may be less than the
recommended speed of 0.7 m/s a larger diameter pipes
was required.
• Cooling for the booster pump
The pump only operates if the two forward pumps
start up to ensure there is always sufficient water being
transported.
• Running dry
The booster pump can never run dry since “direct
control” of the booster is activated when the pressure
on the pumping stations start up.The booster is also
installed at a lower level.
• Signaling
For a safe running of the booster, the cable installation is
of great importance, and a separate cabling schematic
has been drawn up.
• Communication
A permanent analogue line to the central post has
been connected to the forward pumping station at
Langestraat, which in turn is connected to the local
government offices.The advantage of this is that the
system is always online, thus simplifying adjustment.
The solution.
“Despite the cheaper construction of the standard
solution that consists of installations of individual
wastewater treatment units, we needed a PSS system to
avoid the risks of transporting slurry,” explains Piet van
Bruinisse. Other disadvantages of the standard solution
were high-energy consumption, the lack of 100%
cleaning and high maintenance costs, he pointed out.
The booster pump is not activated by pipe pressure
but is controlled directly by the Flygt FMC controller.
Starting pumping operations in the system, as well
as the content of the forward 160 mm PVC pipe, the
system ensures that the delivery of the booster pump
is equal to the feed delivery of the forward pressure xyleminc.com
pumping stations. Hence, the pressure pumping
station has the same. if not better, efficiency operating
collectively as when operating individually.
The system is compatible with different suppliers of
pumps, and the booster pumping station can be
switched on.The pipe calculations for discharge with
small stations and was incorporated in to the station.
This shows that the average discharge per small
pumping plant came out at about 4.5 l/s and was
processed into a starting table for the booster pump.
The small plants control the frequency regulator via a
Flygt FMC controller to indicate a specific speed for
plant.
An in-line booster station is being installed in the
Koolhoekweg pressure pipe to move the discharge
points of all the pumps located before the booster
station.This pump enables the acceleration of pumping
of the market growers’ water. A bypass in the booster pit
provides an additional discharge point in the event the
booster does not work.
The benefits.
“To ensure highest possible quality we maintained an
intensified supervision during the installation phase and
when adjusting the pressure pumping stations,” says
Piet van Bruinisse. “We will also continue the inspection
to ensure proper installation of pipes and cables before
filling the ditches.”
The solution has proven a success, thanks by the way in
which the pumps are coordinated. Performance is not
based on pipe pressure but instead based on switching
on the pressure pumps.
The lack of overflow has resulted in a better water
environment and a return of fauna life to the ditches.
Without the system solution, and the Flygt FGC booster
pump connection, the growers would not be connected
to a sewer system and overflows should occur today.
The energy costs are significantly reduced because each
pump has a maximum of flow. Since the installation,
Brielle has experienced zero malfunctions in the system.
The results, in brief, include lower energy consumption,
flowless operation and no repairs or breakdowns, and
minimal environmental costs.
