1.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION

The MicroFAST® 0.5 wastewater treatment bioreactor utilizes a proprietary attached and suspended growth process to achieve treatment. Since the media used in the plant is submerged, both attached and suspended biological growth occur simultaneously. In both attached and suspended growth systems, microorganisms remove soluble contaminants from the wastewater, utilizing them as a source of energy for growth and production of new microorganisms.

In the suspended growth mode, organisms dispersed in the wastewater being treated come in contact with the organic matter in the wastewater, while in the fixed growth mode, the organ isms form on a fixed media and the wastewater is circulated past them. As new organisms form in the fixed growth mode, the biological growth becomes thicker, resulting in anoxic conditions in the lower layers. As the bacterial mass builds, adhesion is weakened and the upper layers slough off, exposing a new surface on which aerobic growth continues. The accumulation of the biomass on the surface also provides for entrapment of organic solids, which are attacked by extracellular enzymes that solubilize the solids to make them available to the microorganisms as a food source. The conversion of the organic matter from soluble to biological sol ids allows for removal of the organic matter by settling of the solids in the treatment process.'

The organisms primarily responsible for the degradation of the organic matter are aerobic bacteria. As such, the transfer of oxygen into the wastewater by an aeration system is critical to the treatment process. The aeration system also provides for the mixing of the wastewater and organisms to provide contact between the organic contaminants in the wastewater and the organisms that provide for removal of the contaminants. Interruption of the aeration system for a long period of time can have a serious impact on the process.

2.0 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

2.1 Description of System Evaluated

The MicroFAST® Model 0.5 tested in this evaluation has a rated capacity of 500 gallons per day (gpd). Specifications and drawings are included in Append ix A The tank was constructed of concrete. The plant utilizes part of the tank for primary treatment, with the secondary treatment achieved in an aerobic zone inside an insert in the tank .

Wastewater enters the tank in the primary treatment zone, which extends from the inlet pipe to the forward bulkhead of the insert. A stream of partially treated water from the aeration zone is put outside the liner for denitrification. The quiescent condition in the primary zone allows the heavy solids in the wastewater to settle out. There are no skimmers or baffles in the primary zone, but floating materials remain in the zone because the inlet to the secondary zone is below the water surface.


This report may not be reproduced In whole or in part without the expressed written consent of NSF International.


A honeycomb type media block is completely submerged in the tank insert and provides the fixed surface to support most of the biomass in the secondary aerobic zone. Aeration and circulation of the wastewater through the media is achieved by release of air in a draft tube near the bottom of the media block. The release of air causes the wastewater to rise through the tube to a deflector baffle that directs the water out over the media . The continuous circulation of the water establishes velocities in the media that assist in sloughing of excess biomass from the media. Sloughing biomass passes down through the media and settles to the bottom of the tank below the insert. Treated water passes out of the aerobic zone and the treatment plant through a pipe connected to a vertical channel cut in the media.

2.2 Test Protocol

Section 8 of NSF/ANSI Standard 40 protocol , "Performance Testing and Evaluation", is included in Appendix B. Start up of the system was accomplished by filling the system with 2/3 water and 1/3 raw sewage. The system was then dosed at the design loading rate of 500 gpd as follows:

6 a.m. to 9 a.m. - 35 percent of dai ly rated capacity (175 gallons) 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.- 25 percent of daily rated capacity (125 gallons) 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. - 40 percent of daily rated capacity (200 gallons)

Dosing was accomplished by opening an electrically actuated valve to feed wastewater to the test system. Four and a half gallon doses were spread uniformly over each dosing period to comprise the total dose volume for the period .

After a start up period (up to three weeks at the manufacturer's discretion), the system is subjected to the following loading sequence:

Design loading Stress loading Design loading

16 weeks 7.5 weeks 2.5 weeks

During the design loading periods, flow proportioned 24-hour composite influent and effluent samples are collected five days per week. The influent samples are analyzed for five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5 ) and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations. The effluent samples are analyzed for carbonaceous five-day biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD5), and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations. On-site determinations of the effluent temperature and pH are made five days per week.

Stress testing is designed to evaluate how the system performs under non-ideal conditions, including varied hydraulic loadings and electrical or system failure . The test sequence includes (1) Wash Day stress, (2) Working Parent stress, (3) Power/Equipment Failure stress, and (4) Vacation stress. Detailed descriptions of the stress sequences are shown in Appendix B.

During the stress test sequences, 24-hour composite samples are collected before and after each stress dosing pattem. The analyses and on-site determinations completed on the samples are the same as described for the design load testing. Each stress is followed by seven consecutive days of dosing at design rated capacity before beginning the next stress test. Sample collection is initiated twenty-four hours after

completion of Wash Day, Working Parent, and Vacation stresses, and beginning 48 hours after completion of the Power/Equipment Failure stress.

In order for the system to achieve Class I effluent it is required to produce an effluent, which meets the EPA guidelines for secondary effluent discharge' :

(1) CBOD5: The 30-day average of effluent samples shall not exceed 25 mg/L and each 7-day average of effluent samples shall not exceed 40 mg/L.

(2) TSS: Each 30-day average of effluent samples shall not exceed 30 mg/L and each 7-day average of effluent samples shall not exceed 45 mg/L.

(3) pH: Individual effluent values remain between 6.0 and 9.0.

Requirements are also specified for effluent color, odor, oily film and foam, as well as maximum noise levels allowed from the system.

2.3 Test Chronology

The system was installed under the direction of the manufacturer on August 1, 2006. The infiltration/exfiltration test, during which the entire system was tested for leaks, was completed on August 9, 2006. The unit was filled with 2/3 fresh water and 1/3 raw sewage and dosing was initiated at the rate of 500 gallons per day beginning August 14, 2006. Sampling for record was initiated on September 4, 2006. The stress test sequence was started on December 25, 2006 and ended on February 14, 2007. Testing was completed on March 2, 2007.

Over the course of the test , there were a number of days with infiuent strength well in excess of typical domestic wastewater. The impact of these high concentrations on the test are discussed in the following section .

3.0 ANALYTICAL RESULTS

The interquartile range is the range of values about the median between the upper and lower 25 percent of all values.

Criteria for evaluating the analytical results from the testing are described in Section 8.5 of NSF/ANSI

Standard 40. In completing the pass/fail determination for the data, an allowance is made for effluent TSS

and CBOD5 during the first month of testing . The 30 and 7-day averages during this time may equal or

exceed 1 A times the effluent limits required for the rest of the test This provision recognizes that an

immature culture of microorganisms within the system may require additional time to achieve adequate

treatment efficiency. Effluent CBOD5 and TSS concentrations from the Bio-Microbics MicroFAST® 0.5 during the first calendar month of testing were within the normal limits and did not need to use this provision.

Section 8.5.1.1 of the Standard provides guidance addressing the impact of unusual testing conditions,

including sampling, dosing, or infiuent characteristics, on operation of a system under test Specific data points may be excluded from 7- and 30- day average calculations where determined to have an adverse

impact on performance of the system, with rationale for the exclusion to be documented in the final report.

During months three and five of the test, the infiuent wastewater characteristics were outside the ranges specified by the Standard. Month three had an average infiuent BOD of 360 mg/L and an average infiuent TSS of 560 mg/L, while month five had an average infiuent TSS concentration of 390 mg/L. In order to correct for the excursion, data days were excluded to bring the average to 300 mg/L and 350 mg/L for BOD and TSS respectively. Month three averages resulted in 290 mg/L for BOD and 340 mg/L for TSS. Month five TSS average became 330 mg/L. The following dates were excluded from the overall averages in months three and five:

November 10, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 27, 28, and 30

January 13 and 27.

Sections 3.6 and 8.2.1 of the Standard define infiuent wastewater characteristics as they apply to testing under the Standard. Typical domestic wastewater is defined as having a 30-day average BODs concentration between 100 and 300 mg/L and a 30-day average TSS concentration between 100 and 350 mg/L. The 30-day average infiuent remained inside this specified range for the duration of the test.

3.2 Biochemical Oxygen Demand

The five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BODs) and carbonaceous five-day biochemical oxygen demand (CBODs) analyses were completed using the EPA Method 405. 1. The results of the analyses completed on the samples collected during the testing are shown in Figure 1.

Influent BODs:

The influent BODs ranged from 69 to 590 mg/L during the evaluation , with an average concentration of 250 mg/L and a median concentration of 230 mg/L.

Effluent CBODs:

The effluent CBODs concentrations ranged from <2 to 8 mg/L over the course of the evaluation, with an average concentration of 3 mg/L. The median effluent CBODs concentration was 2 mg/L.

The Standard requires that the effluent CBODs not exceed 40 mg/L on a 7 -day average or 25 mg/L on a 3Dday average. Table II shows the 7 and 30-day average effluent CBODs concentrations and the 30-day average infiuent BODs concentrations .

The 7-day average effluent CBODs ranged from 2 to 5 mg/L. The 30-day average ranged from 2 to 4 mg/L throughout the test. As shown in Table II , the Bio-Microbics MicroFAST® 0.5 met the requirements of Standard 40 for effluent CBODs.

BOD5 Loading:

Over the course of the evaluation the infiuent BODs loading averaged 1.04 lb/day. The Bio-Microbics MicroFAST® 0.5 achieved an average reduction of 1.02 lbs/day.

3.4 pH

Over the entire evaluation period , the influent pH ranged from 6.5 to 7.0 (median of 6.8). The effluent pH ranged from 6.1 to 7.0 during the evaluation (median of 6.9), within the 6 to 9 range required by NSF/ANSI Standard 40. The pH data for the evaluation are shown in Appendix C.

3.5 Temperature

Influent temperatures over the evaluation period ranged from 18 to 31 ' C (median of 25' C). The

temperature data are shown in Appendix C.

3.6 Dissolved Oxygen

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) was measured in the effluent during the evaluation . The effluent DO ranged between 0.5 to 3.8 mg/L (median of 1. 7 mg/L). All dissolved oxygen data are shown in Append ix C.

3.7 Color, Threshold Odor, Oily Film, Foam

Three samples of the effluent were analyzed for color, odor, oily film and foam as prescribed in NSF Standard 40. The effluent was acceptable according to the requirements in NSF Standard 40, with color less than 15 units, non-offensive threshold odor, no visible evidence of oily fi lm and no foam.

3.8 Noise

A reading of the noise level at a distance of 20 feet from the system was taken while the system was in operation, using a hand-held decibel meter. The reading was below the 60 dbA required by ANSI/NSF

Standard 40.

8 Performance testing and evaluation

This section describes the methods used to evaluate the performance of resident ial wastewater treatment systems. Systems shall be designated as Class I or Class II . The performance classification sha ll be based upon the evaluation of effuent samples collected from the system over a six-month period .

8.1 Preparations for test ing and evaluation

8.1 .1 The system shall be assembled, installed, and filled in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8.1.2 The manufacturer shall inspect the system for proper installation . If no defects are detected and the system is judged to be structurally sound, it shall be placed into operation in accordance with the manufacturer's start-up procedures. If the manufacturer does not provide a filling procedure, Y, of the system's capacity shall be filled with water and the remaining Y, shall be filled with residential wastewater.

8.1.3 The system shall undergo design loading (see 8.2.2.1) until testing and evaluations are initiated. Sample collection and analysis shall be initiated within 3 weeks of filling the system and, except as specified in 8.5.1 .2, shall continue without interruption until the end of the evaluation period .

8.1.4 If conditions at the testing site preclude installation of the system at its normally prescribed depth , the manufacturer shall be permitted to cover the system with soil to achieve normal installation depth.

8.1.5 Performance testing and evaluation of systems shall not be restricted to specific seasons.

8.1.6 When possible , electrical or mechanical defects shall be repaired to prevent evaluation delays. All repairs made during the performance testing and evaluation shall be documented in the final report .

8.1.7 The system shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. However, routine service and maintenance of the system shall not be penmitted during the performance testing and evaluation period.

NOTE- The manufacturer may recommend or offer more frequent service and maintenance of the system but for the purpose of performance testing and evaluation, service and maintenance shall not be performed beyond what is specified in this Standard.

8.2 Testing and evaluation conditions, hydraulic loading, and schedules

8.2.1 Influent wastewater characteristics

The 30-d average BOD5 concentration of the wastewater delivered to the system shall be between 1 00 mg/L and 300 mg/L.

The 30-d average TSS concentration of the wastewater delivered to the system shall be between 100 mg/L and 350 mg/L.

After 48 hours. power shall be restored and the system shall be dosed over a 3- h period with 60% of its daily hydraulic capacity. which shall include 1 wash load (1 wash cycle and 2 rinse cycles).

8.2.2.2.4 Vacation stress

On the day that the vacation stress is initiated, the system shall be dosed at 35% of its daily hydraulic capacity between 6:00a.m. and 9:00a.m. and at 25% between 11 :00 a.m. and 2:00p.m. Dosing shall then be discontinued for 8 consecutive days (power shall continue to be supplied to the system). Between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00p.m . of the ninth day, the system shall be dosed with 60% of its daily hydraulic capacity, which shall include 3 wash loads (3 wash cycles and 6 rinse cycles) .

8.2.3 Dosing volumes




The 30-d average volume of the wastewater delivered to the system shall be within 100% ± 10% of the system's rated hydraulic capacity.

APPENDIX C

ANALYTICAL RESULTS






Page 32 of 60 April 2007

The effluent composite samples shall be diluted 1:1000 with distilled water. Three composite effluent samples shall be tested during the 6-month evaluation period.

8.4.2.2 Color

The apparent color of the diluted effluent samples shall be determined with the visual comparison method described in APHA's Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.

8.4.2.3 Odor

A panel consisting of at least 5 evaluators shall qualitatively rate 200 ml aliquots of the diluted effluent samples as offensive or non offensive when compared to odor-free water prepared in accordance with APHA's Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.

8.4.2.4 Oily film and foam

Diluted effluent sample aliquots shall be visually evaluated for the presence of an oily fi lm or foaming.

8.5 Criteria

8.5.1 General

8.5.1 .1 If conditions during the testing and evaluation period result in system upset, improper sampling, improper dosing , or influent characteristics outside of the ranges specified in 8.2.1, an assessment shall be conducted to determine the extent to which these conditions adversely affected the performance of the system . Based on this assessment , specific data points may be excluded from the 7-d and 30-d averages of effluent measurements. Rationale for all data exclusions shall be documented in the final report.

8.5.1.2 In the event that a catastrophic site problem not described in this Standard including, but not limited to, influent characteristi cs, malfunctions of test apparatus, and acts of God, jeopardizes the validity of the performance testing and evaluation, manufacturers shall be given the choice to:

1) Perform maintenance on the system, rein itiate system start-up procedures, and restart the performance testing and evaluation; or

2) With no routine maintenance performed, have the system brought back to pre-existing conditions and resume testing within 3 weeks after the site problem has been identified and corrected. Data collected during the system recovery period shall be excluded from 7-d and 30-d averages of effluent measurements.

NOTE- Pre-existing conditions shall be defined as the point when the results of 3 consecutive data days are within 15% of the previous 30-d average(s).

8.5.1.3 A 7 -d average discharge value shall consist of a minimum of 3 data days. If a calendar week contains less than 3 data days, sufficient data days may be transferred from the preceding calendar week to constitute a 7 -d average discharge value. If there are not sufficient data days available in the preceding calendar week, the transfer of data days may take place from the following calendar week to constitute a 7-d average discharge value. No data day shall be included in more than one 7-d average discharge value.

8.5.1 .4 A 30-d average discharge value shall consist of a minimum of 50% of the regularly scheduled sampling days per month. If a calendar month contains less than the required number of data days, sufficient data days may be transferred from the preceding calendar month to constitute a 30-d average discharge




value. If there are not sufficient data days available in the preceding ca lendar month, the transfer of data days may take place from the following ca lendar month to constitute a 30-d average discharge value. No data day shall be included in more than one 30-d average discharge va lue.

8.5.1.5 During the stress loading sequence, consisting of wash-day, working-parent, power/equipment failure, and vacation stress loading periods, data shall be collected from a minimum of % of the total scheduled sampling days and from at least 2 of the scheduled sampling days during any single stress loading period.

8.5.2 Class I systems

The following criteria shall be met in order for a system to be classified as a Class I residential wastewater treatment system.

All requirements for each parameter shall be achieved except as provided for in 8.5.2.2.

8.5.2.1 EPA secondary treatment guideline parameters

8.5.2.1.1 CBOD5

The 30-d average of CBOD5 concentrations of effluent samples shall not exceed 25 mg/L.

The 7-d average of CBOD5 concentrations of effluent samples shall not exceed 40 mg/l.

8.5.2.1.2 TSS

The 30-d average of TSS concentrations of effluent samples shall not exceed 30 mg/L.

The 7-d average of TSS concentrations of effluent samples shall not exceed 45 mg/L.

8.5.2.1.3 pH

The pH of individual effluent samples shall be between 6.0 and 9.0.

8.5.2.2 Effluent concentration excursions

System performance shall not be considered outside the limits established for Class I systems if, during the first calendar month of performance testing and evaluation, 7-d average and 30-d average effluent CBOD5

and TSS concentrations do not equal or exceed 1.4 times the effluent limits specified in 8.5.2.1.

NOTE- The technology utilized in many residential wastewater treatment systems is biologically based. The allowance of excursions from the effluent limits established in this Standard during the first calendar month of performance testing and evaluation refiects the fact that an immature culture of microorganisms within the system may require additional time to achieve adequate treatment efficiency.

The value of 1.4 is based on the USEPA Technical Review Criteria for Group I Pollutants, including CBOD5

and TSS.
