capacity within the constraints of the existing facility. Automated flow control to Pass D will be<br />

provided to further enhance clarifier operation along with the capability to add polymer. The<br />

production of biological foam or froth is associated with the longer SRTs needed for<br />

nitrification. ABBNR includes three methods to control froth: RAS chlorination, froth hoods,<br />

and froth wasting. A moderate level of instrumentation will also be provided. A schematic of<br />

the process is shown in Figure 1-3.<br />

In addition, this technology typically includes the capability to direct sludge dewatering centrate<br />

to a dedicated aeration tank for separate nitrification. A portion of mainstream RAS would be<br />

added to seed the process and alkalinity would be provided to satisfy the centrate nitrification<br />

requirement. Nitrified centrate would be returned to the head of the A Pass of the remaining<br />

tanks to be further treated. At Port Richmond, sludge is shipped to another facility for<br />

dewatering and therefore this capability will not be provided.<br />
