Maintenance

Your treatment facility requires for constant and scheduled maintenance!

Wastewater treatment facilities produced by Traidenis efficiently cleans wastewater with the help of aerobic microorganisms, decomposing organic pollutants. Proper maintenance results in low frequency of maintenance and low cost price.
Service and maintenance of wastewater treatment facilities shall be performed by qualified personnel. Equipment maintenance (service) personnel shall: 

daily check:

• control wastewater inlet into treatment plants;
• if power is supplied to airblowers; power may be interrupted for up to 10 hours;
• if the airblower does not overheat;
• if higher sound or vibration has not occurred;
• visually check the work of the aeration system (whether intensive mixing of wastewater and activated sludge takes place);
• check system operation of circulating sludge;

monthly check:

• check, whether airblower filters are clean, if necessary, clean them or change with new ones (NOTE: a more detail maintenance of the airblower is performed according to the provided maintenance rules);
• check, whether there is no air leakage in connection places and in the air inlet pipe;
• concentration of melt oxygen in the unit. On presence of maximum amounts of wastewater, concentration of melt oxygen shall be no less than 1–4mg/l;

yearly check:  

• customer or the person providing maintenance services shall fill in maintenance register and shall  register the works in the table of the performed works (NOTE: maintenance register is filled-in on daily basis);   

Avoid the following during maintenance of the wastewater treatment unit:

1. avoid entering of the following non-biodegradable particles into the unit: paper towels, diapers, handkerchiefs, products from rubber and plastic;
2. avoid entering of high amounts of  grease;
3. it is forbidden to use domestic chemicals in larger doses than indicated in instructions; wastewater treatment facility can handle with normal quantities of washing means, whiteners and other domestic chemicals; 
4. avoid entering of surface and rain water (off the roof, from the yard, etc.) into the unit; 
5. chemical substances, entering of which is not provided according to their usage (oil products, agrochemical substances, etc.) cannot be discharged into the unit;
6. it is crucial to avoid ground water entering the unit; water should not accumulate around the unit;
7. it is recommended not to repair the unit yourself and not to change spare parts upon your discretion.

 Visual work performance of biological wastewater treatment plant is assessed according to the features of activated sludge and outlet water (see according to the tables of control).

Instruction for removal of excess sludge

Excess sludge is removed from the unit itself, if there is no separate tank for sludge accumulation (sludge thickening device), where sludge is periodically discharged during maintenance.

1. Turn-off the airblower from the power network.
2. Remove the lid.
3. Carefully insert the hose of the assenisation machine in the internal part of the plant and pump-off 50 percent of aeration chamber volume of the mixture of wastewater and sludge from the plant.  
4. In those plants, where high level of ground water predominates, fill the plant with clean water, by protecting against possible uplift. THIS IS NECESSARY TO BE PERFORMED AT THE SAME DAY.
5. Cap the unit and turn on the airblower.
   The other day after cleaning the unit, check, whether there is no offensive odour, foams, how does the sludge look like.

Start-up and adjustment works

1. Wastewater treatment plant commissioning works are started, when units are recognised as suitable to use and a permission to discharge wastewater into the environment is issued in the valid order (according to the Order No. D1-152 of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania dated 26 March, 2008 “On the Amendment of the Order No. D1-412 “On the Approval of the Regulation on the Application of Wastewater Treatment Systems of the Minister of Environment dated 11 September, 2006).
2. Duration of commissioning works of units shall be 3 months from the date of recognizing the unit suitable to use, when air temperature is no less than +10⁰C during day-time, and does not fall below 0⁰C during night-time.
3. Conformity of actual wastewater amounts and contamination to the designed data shall be checked.
4. Aeration system shall be tested in the unit.
5. The unit shall be poured with sludge infection by delivering activated sludge or by filling the unit with live (stream, pond) water and growing activated sludge.
6. When sludge concentration in the unit reaches ≥ 20%, samples are obtained from the outlet and cleaned water, in order to determine quality.
7. Person supervising the units shall be familiarized with the main maintenance rules of the unit.
8. Commissioning report shall be drawn.
9. During commissioning works the level of up to 50% of treatment of the inlet primary wastewater contamination is reached according to BDS₅. In this case, during commissioning works, in presence of maximum primary wastewater contamination up to 400 mg/l, contamination of cleaned wastewater may reach up to 200 mg/l according to BDS₅. 

Service

1. Traidenis provides a 10 year warranty for the underground part of the body.  Warranty for electrical part is indicated according to the technical passport of the product provided by the manufacturer. The warranty is valid only when servicing and maintaining the unit, by following the unit service and maintenance instruction provided by Traidenis. 
2. The warranty is provided only for Traidenis production and does not cover expenses, related to failures of house/bureau sewage pipes/collection tanks, distribution system.
3. Traidenis shall take no liabilities for failures of the treatment unit, arising due to any reasons of discontinued maintenance of the unit.
4. Traidenis offers to sign up the service contract, according to which for a certain service fee our representatives shall regularly (twice a year) come and check the unit and shall eliminate the problems, if any. Regarding the service contract, please contact our representatives.

Modular system of HNV type wastewater treatment plant and additional equipment

HNV-P type treatment plants

The plant of HNV-P modification is constructed from a primary settling vessel, an aerobic reactor, a secondary settling vessel (with a module of thin wall) in one tank. Usually, grating (or a pump crusher) and a sand trap are installed before the plant of HNV-P modification. 
The fed wastewater enters the primary settling vessel. Wastewater is treated for 2 hours in the primary settling vessel. The sludge settled in the settling vessel with the help of the air pump is constantly removed into a separately fitted sludge stabiliser. After the settling vessel, sludge enters the aerobic reactor with the bioload. Biological treatment, i.e. treatment with activated sludge, is based on microorganisms’ activities. Wastewater, requiring treatment, is aerated. Flake forming bacteria (microorganisms) multiply and form groups that cause adherence of protozoots and other bacteria. Microorganisms metabolyse (“eat up” and decompose) and biologically destroy organic substances. Constant feeding of oxygen is required. Purpose of the process is to bind soluble, colloidal and biogenic substances from wastewater into activated sludge and separate activated sludge. Basically, the process of activated sludge is a live system, thus appropriate actions are required. In order to maintain certain necessary microorganisms, appropriate “feeding, growing, multiplication” is required. Sudden changes in working conditions may result in a shock. Thus, the bioload, to which attach microorganisms that cannot be removed by uneven wastewater flows. Excess sludge from the aerobic reactor is removed into the primary settling vessel with the help of the air pump. After the aerobic reactor, the mixture of wastewater and sludge enters the secondary settling vessel with the thin-walled module, from which the settled sludge is returned into the aerobic reactor with the help of the air pump, and the cleared wastewater drains away from the facility.
