Description:
Evaluation of the IWS Model 6000 SBR began in April 2004 when one SBR was taken off line and cleaned. The verification testing started July 1, 2004 and proceeded without interruption through June 30, 2005. All sixteen four-day sampling events were completed as scheduled, yielding 64 sets of analytical data for daily composite and grab sample parameters, and 16 sets of data for the 96-hr composite parameters. One major change was made to the test system approximately two and one half months after the start of the verification test. The original system included two 6,000 gal SBR units, with no equalization or distribution tank ahead of the SBR units. One of the SBR units was converted to an equalization tank, while the second SBR unit continued to operate as an SBR. IWS made this same change to all of their systems to provide better flow control to the SBR unit and to reduce the potential for upsets in the SBR during very high inlet flow rates.
