Control Philosophy Part4

This document describes the control philosophy for an air treatment facility (ATF) used to treat odorous air. It outlines the various components of the ATF including a temporary recirculation system used during commissioning, packed bed filters containing proprietary media, demisters to remove moisture, heaters to reduce humidity, activated carbon filters to absorb contaminants, extraction fans to draw air through the system, and drains for the components. Monitoring instruments such as pressure transmitters and temperature sensors are installed to measure performance.

3.3.4.5 Temporary Recirculation System

During commissioning,

. A temporary recirculation system is required to recirculate bacteria and nutrient through the system to
promote a sudden increase in biological activity. The system involves connecting a recirculation pump to
the temporary recirc pipework isolation valves and recirculating the BTF liquor back through the system.
The nutrient water mixture is intermittently sprayed into the Single Pass BTF.
The pressure drop of the BioTrickling filter must be monitored using installed DP transmitters to monitor
formation of nori-biomass solids that may befoulthe packed bed

3.3.5 OdourTeQ' BTF Packing

The Single Pass OdourTeQ' BTFs use a proprietary media, CleanPaQ'. The media is constructed from PUF, is
cubic in shape and has a specific surface area of over 600 in'/in'.

3.3.6 Demister

Treated air from the Single Pass OdourTeQ'" BTF packing enters a demister located at the top of each Single
Pass OdourTeQ'" BTF. Each demister filter is capable of treating 20,000 in Ih. The demister filters are used as
a moisture trap device to protect and extend the life of the CleanCarb'" ACF downstream. The filter works by
physically removing water from the air stream.

3.3.7 Heater

Treated air from the Single Pass OdourTeQ'" BTFs enters a heater located next to the CleanCarb'" ACF. The
function of the heater is to reduce the relative humidity to prevent condensation forming in the ACF by
'increasing
creas'n the incomin air
the incoming airtem eratureb
temperature by a rox. 4'C.
approx. 4 C.

Two (2) temperature transmitters are installed either side of the heater to measure the temperature
differential across the heater. If excessive temperature occurs, a high alarm is triggered and shuts the heater
off.

3.3.8 CleanCarb'Activated CarbonFilter

Treated air from the heater enters the CleanCarb' ACF. The ACF is capable of treating 100,000 in'/h of air.
The carbon filter is designed such that there is a contact time of greater than or equal to 4 seconds between
the air and activated carbon and absorb greater than 2 years of air without breakthrough.

The air enters the ACF, passes up the AC bed and comes into contact with a combination of Klimpregnated
carbon and virgin GAC. The air first passes through Kl carbon, which is installed to address the HzS and other

VsCs in the air stream through chemisorption. The air then comes into contact with Virgin GAC before it exits
the ACF. The Virgin AC addresses the slightly soluble VOCs in the air stream via physical adsorption.

3.3.8.10ifferential Pressure Transmitter

A differential pressure transmitter is provided to indicate the pressure loss across each of the ACF. An increase
in differential pressure is an indication that the activated carbon may need replacing.

3.3.8.2Temperature Sensor

A temperature sensor is provided to indicate the temperature of the AC bed. An AC temperature above 55'C
could mean that there is an issue that requires operator attention.

3.3.9 Extraction Fans

Duty/standby fans draw air from the new concrete chamber. The fans are sized with sufficient differential
pressure to overcome the losses in the ATF.

The duty/standby fans include downstream nori-return valves. The main purpose of the nori-return valves is to
prevent recirculation of treated air back through the fan on standby.

The duty/standby fans are controlled externalIy by the VsD to maintain 100,000m3/hr of flow throughout the
ATF.

The fan speed will be controlled by T-mass flow transmitter installed downstream of the extraction fans.

3.3.10 Ventstack

After treatment at the ATF the treated air is discharged to atmosphere via an existing vent stack.

3.3.11 Drains

The following items have a drain connection for free draining:

Each drain is fitted with a water seal to prevent air from being drawn into, or being blown out of the system.
The water seals (condensate traps) will be monitored regularly to minimise impact of evaporation.
