WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS CONDER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS TECHFLO SAF is a packaged sewage treatment plant is designed to treat domestic wastewater. Domestic Wastewater is essentially the spent or used water from the complex, emanating from personal, sanitation and domestic uses. The effective reduction of the organic material entering the Sewerage Treatment Plant is accomplished biologically through millions of microorganis ms (bacteria). These bacteria degrade wastewater through the addition of atmospheric oxygen and biochemical reaction. This plant will utilize Submerged Aerated Filter (SAF) technology for optimum performance and dependability , it is designed to manage 7m3 (7,000 litres) per day, including laundry waste, (grey water from the Kitchen passes through a static Grease Trap then to the Storm Drainage system). Using reliable, cost effective and energy efficient blowers for aeration with an integral flow management system, the TechFlo SAF 35 will be installed completely below ground. Anticipated Influent Loadings INFLUENT WASTEWATER BOD

280MG/L

Designed in accordance with the British Water Code of Practice for Flows and Loads, this Packaged Sewage Treatment Plant offers treatment which surpasses the local Specifications for Liquid Effluent from Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plants into the Environment (Inland Surface Waters) as indicated in the WATER POLLUTION RULES 2001, Second Schedule (Table 4). In an effort to maintain the integrity of the system, we will allow for a ninety (90) day desludging frequency, to ensure that the quality of the discharged liquid effluent meets and surpasses all permissible levels as required.

4.1.1 Process and Plant Description The Treatment Process Submerged Aerated Filter Technology The unit is specifically designed to treat domestic sewage and other biodegradable waste and comprises three treatment stages:

Figure 1 - WWTP Process Flow diagram The system utilises microorganisms to break down the sewage by processes very similar to those that occur in a garden compost heap. It is very important therefore, that toxic chemicals do not enter the system and "poison" the microorganisms. Raw sewage is first received in the Primary Settlement Stage, where gross solids (primary sludge) separate in the tank. These solids remain until the tank is "de -sludged" as described in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual. The settled liquor is displaced from the Primary Tank and flows into the biological treatment zone. Incoming flow mixes with recycled sewage within the bio zone. This recycled flow greatly dilutes the incoming sewage and prevents "shock" loads from upsetting the system. The blower provides necessary oxygen for the micro -organisms to digest the nutrients in the bio -zone. Air is bubbled up through the bio-zone from distribution pipework and in so doing generates a recirculating flow. As the liquid moves around in the bio zone it is purified by the microorganisms growing on the surface of the media. Excess biomass solids are transferred to the humus tank or final settling tank by displacement, as new liquor enters the bio zone from the primary tank.

The Humus solids settle to the top and bottom of the Humus tank to form sludge. This sludge remains in the tank, until the tank is de-sludged. The fully treated liquid displaced from the humus tank is known as Final Effluent. 4.2 DISINFECTION Ultraviolet technology is the most common and preferred method of disinfection which is currently used on most wastewater treatment plants. The process involves using an ultraviolet (UV) lamp which transfers electromagnetic energy from a mercury arc lamp to the organism's genetic material (DNA and RNA). When UV radiation penetrates the cell wall of an organism, it destroys the cell's ability to reproduce. UV radiation, generated through an electrical discharge through mercury vapor, penetrates the genetic material of microorganisms and retards thei r ability to reproduce. The effectiveness of a UV disinfection system depends on the characteristics of the wastewater, the intensity of UV radiation, the amount of time the microorganisms are exposed to the radiation, and the reactor configuration. For any one treatment plant, disinfection success is directly related to the concentration of colloidal and particulate constituents in the wastewater. The main components of a UV disinfection system are mercury arc lamps, a reactor, and ballasts. The source of UV radiation is either the low-pressure or medium-pressure mercury arc lamp with low or high intensities. Even though this effluent is suitable for discharge to a watercourse , we propose an additional tertiary treatment by way of a SALCOR MODEL 3G UV WASTEWATER DISINFECTION UNIT. Not only will this unit allow for disinfection for total inactivation/destruction of any existing pathogenic organisms to further ensure the prevent the spread of waterborne diseases to downstream users and the environment, it also capable of Feacal Coliform reduction of 99.9%. 4.3 WWTP SEEDING The proposed WWTP(s) will require a seeding/stabilisation period which will allow for the development of an adequate population of micro -organisms (bacteria) within the WWTP to make the treatment system operate efficiently. We intend to achieve this by impo rting Activated Sludge from one of our functioning Septic Tanks, to initiate the process. Based on intended population and utilization, we propose a Seeding Period of six (6) weeks. During this period all Final Effluent will be directed by way of a valving system to Outfall Holding Tanks as a mitigating measure, these Outfall Fall tanks will be desludged using Septic Trucks every other day or when required during the seeding process, this effluent will be taken to WASAs Wastewater Management Plants for pro cessing.

4.4 SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM (STS) A Septic Tank System will consist of a Septic Tank, Soakaway Pit and the surrounding soil into which wastewater is finally disposed. 4.4.1 Septic Tank A Double Compartment S eptic Tank with a capacity 2175 litres will be used in this application in order to manage both Black and Gray Wastewater. The anticipated daily Wastewater Discharge from the Mini Mart/Food Court is 1060 litres; therefore the proposed Septic Tank will be large enough to hold the volume of wastewater collected in two (2) days. To ensure optimum operation and functionality of the Septic Tank, we will institute a desludging frequency of 180 days

Figure 2 - Double Compartment Septic Tank 4.4.2 Soakaway Pit A Soakaway is a simple stone filled pit where the efficiency depends on the porosity of the ground. A percolation test was carried out at four (4) locations on this site, these test revealed that it takes approximately 3 minutes for Water Leve l to fall 25mm which proves that the Rate of Percolation is excellent. The effluent from the septic tank will be able to soakaway into the surrounding soil via the sidewalls of the pit. As the effluent seeps through the surrounding soil, a process of natural purification occurs. This process includes the breakdown of the polluting material by bacteria occurring naturally in the soil, and the eventual die o ff of the pathogens.

4.5 LAUNDRY A proposed Laundry will be set up at the Hostel; the discharges from the Washing Machines will be managed by the Conder WWTP. In order not to compromise the bacteriological processes, eco-friendly Natural Laundry Detergents will be used, The compositions of these detergents are: i. they have no optical brighteners ii. no dyes or fragrances iii. no phosphates This eco-friendly Natural Laundry Detergen ts is manufactured using lowfoaming blend of naturally derived cleaning agents (coconut -derived surfactants, glycerin), natural water softeners, alkalinity builders, anti redeposition agents (sodium citrate, borax), non -animal derived enzymes to remove protein and starch stains and protect fabrics, plant derived anti foaming agents (glycerol monooleate, oleic acid), cleaning enhancer (calcium chloride), preservative (less than 0.05 percent), water, these ingredients will not compromise the operation of the WWTP or the surrounding environment. 5.0 KITCHEN SINK The wastewater generated from the proposed double compartment Kitchen Sink located in the Mini Mart/Food Court , will be disposed of via a Grease Trap, then into the receiving Storm Drain system.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE SALCOR MODEL 3G UV WASTEWATER DISINFECTION UNIT 1.0 DESCRIPTION The Salcor 3G disinfection chamber couples directly to the aerobic plant discharge pipe and is permanently installed below grade. The design details of the Salcor 3G unit are shown in section 4.0. The ultraviolet light source for disinfection is mounted in a sub-assembly which can be inserted or removed through the top of the riser pipe for periodic servicing. The light source is mounted in the center of an anodized aluminum frame which divides the disinfection chamber in half. The frame seals against the inner surface of the disinfection chamber to prevent flow bypass. When fully inserted, the disinfection sub-assembly is properly located by two pins mounted near the top of the disinfection chamber. The disinfection subassembly causes the wastewater entering one side of the unit to flow vertically downward, make a 180 degree turn, and then flow vertically upward and out the other side of the unit. This well-defined flow path is designed to give the fluid proper exposure time and no short circuiting. The ultraviolet light source is surrounded by a clear fused quartz tube to control the lamp surface temperature. A clear TeflonTM film covers the quartz tube to minimize surface fouling. This design feature incorporates the beneficial attributes of both quartz and TeflonTM. When the disinfection chamber is filled with water, the ultraviolet light source can operate continuously, whether or not water is flowing. Continuous operation with a lamp surface temperature range of between 105 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit provides optimum ultraviolet light output and long lamp life. The Salcor Model 3G alarm relay circuit triggers an external alarm to warn the user when the UV lamp is not operating properly. Electronic components in the circuit sense changes in the UV lamp operation which correlate with the germicidal ultraviolet output. The normally energized relay has contacts that allow actuation of an external alarm indicating low UV output or lamp outage. The alarm relay circuit has been designed to be compatible with a wide variety of alarms used on upstream aerobic treatment plants, and is compatible with either 120 VAC or DC power. The disinfection sub-assembly, which may extend approximately one foot above grade, is water tight throughout its length, which protects the electrical connections inside the junction box from any fluid backup. When the UV lamp is producing ultraviolet germicidal light at a safe level, a green LED indicator light, located on the outside of the electrical junction box, glows indicating proper UV lamp
