Design Notes

Pre-SBR

- Elevated concentration of Hydrogen Sulfide can be detrimental to both civil and mechanical structures. If anaerobic conditions
exist in the collection system, steps should be taken to eliminate Hydrogen Sulfide prior to the treatment system.

- Neutralization is recommended/required ahead of the SBR if the pH is expected to fall outside of 6.5-8.5 for significant
durations.

- Coarse solids removal/reduction is recommended prior to the SBR.

SBR

- The maximum flow, as shown on the design, has been assumed as a hydraulic maximum and does not represent an additional
organic load.

- The decanter performance is based upon a free-air discharge following the valve and immediately adjacent to the basin.
Actual decanter performance depends upon the complete installation including specific liquid and piping elevations and any
associated field piping losses to the final point of discharge. Modification of the high water level, low water level, centerline of
discharge, and / or cycle structure may be required to achieve discharge of full batch volume based on actual site installation
specifics.

Aeration

- The aeration system has been designed to provide 1.25 lbs. O2/lb. BOD5 applied and 4.6 lbs. O2/lb. TKN applied at the design
average loading conditions.

- Depending on the actual yard piping from the blowers to the diffuser system and the heat losses associated with the yard
piping, additional provisions for cooling of the air (i.e. incorporating heat exchangers) and/or modification of in-basin piping
and/or diffuser sleeve material may be required. Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc. may need to modify the following equipment
offering to ensure compatibility of all in-basin components with actual air temperatures.

Process/Site

- Elevation and temperatures have been assumed as displayed on the design.

- The anticipated effluent NH3-N requirement is predicated upon an influent waste temperature of 10° C or greater. While lower
temperatures may be acceptable for a short-term duration, nitrification below 10° C can be unpredictable, requiring special
operator attention.

- Sufficient alkalinity is required for nitrification, as approximately 7.1 mg alkalinity (as CaCO3) is required for every mg of NH3-N
nitrified. If the raw water alkalinity cannot support this consumption, while maintaining a residual concentration of 50 mg/l,
supplemental alkalinity shall be provided (by others).

Equipment

- The basin dimensions reported on the design have been assumed based upon the required volumes and assumed basin
geometry. Actual basin geometry may be circular, square, rectangular or sloped with construction materials including concrete,
steel or earthen.

- Rectangular or sloped basin construction with length to width ratios greater than 1.5:1 may require alterations in the equipment
recommendation.

- The basins are not included and shall be provided by others.

- Influent is assumed to enter the reactor above the waterline, located appropriately to avoid proximity to the decanter, splashing
or direct discharge in the immediate vicinity of other equipment.

- If the influent is to be located submerged below the waterline, adequate hydraulic capacity shall be made in the headworks to
prevent backflow from one reactor to the other during transition of influent.

- A minimum freeboard of 2 ft is recommended for diffused aeration.

- Scope of supply includes freight, installation supervision and start-up services.

- This design utilizes an orifice plate in the decanter in order to equalize the decant flow rate. Due to factory, installed, and
mechanical settings, the decant flow rates will be within +/- 10% of the average decant flow rate throughout the decant cycle.
Once this unit has been installed and is operational, the decant flow rate will essentially be constant for the duration of each
decant phase.

- Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc. is familiar with various “Buy American” Acts (i.e. AIS, ARRA, Federal FAR 52.225, EXIM Bank,
USAid, PA Steel Products Act, etc.). As the project develops Aqua-Aerobic Systems can work with you to ensure full
compliance of our goods with various Buy American provisions if they are applicable/required for the project. When applicable,
please provide us with the specifics of the project’s “Buy American” provisions.
