Description:
In the summer of 1984, the Glastonbury, Connecticut Water Pollution Control Plant underwent a retrofit from a spiral roll coarse bubble to a spiral roll fine pore aeration system. Only diffuser replacement was performed in the aeration tanks. From November 1985 through September 1988, on-site studies were performed using off-gas analysis as part of the ASCE/EPA Fine Pore Aeration Project. This report presents the results of over 160 off-gas tests together with a case history of the retrofit to upgrade the aeration system. Historical information, retrofit evolution and implementation, aeration performance after the retrofit, and comparison of performance with pre-retrofit data are included in the report. This report was submitted in partial fulfillment of Cooperative Agreement No. CR812167 by the American Society of Civil Engineers under subcontract to the Aeration Technologies, Inc. under the partial sponsorship of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The work reported herein was conducted over the period of 1985-1988. Project summary may be ordered as EPA/600/S-94/001).
