Background:

The Detroit River is about 51.5 km in length.
It drains 181,300 hectares in Michigan and Ontario; as well as sewer-shed areas.

CSO in Windsor
The Riverfront Interceptor Sewer intercepts flows from combined sewers and conveys to the Lou Romano Water Reclamation Plant (LRWRP) for treatment.

Steps and MOE Guideline
A Remedial Action Plan (RAP) has been developed to address water quality concerns in the Detroit River Basin.
One of the main priorities of RAP is to control and reduce pollution from CSOs.
The Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) promulgated Procedure F-5-5 as a means of documenting its objectives for CSO control.( ~ Primary Treatment)
10
MOE – Procedure F-5-5
Procedure F-5-5 specifies that: 90% of wet-weather flow is to be treated to primary
treatment equivalency, which is defined as a seasonal average of at least
» 50% removal of TSS and
» 30% removal of BOD5.
11
A Conventional Retention Treatment basin (CRTB) or a Storage Chamber for controlling CSOs was suggested.
For the storage option (i.e., capture and store - no allowance for treatment), the Storage Chamber volume was calculated to be approximately 106 million gallons (400,000 m3).
Originally Proposed Solution
12
Issues that Require Solutions
Not enough space for CRTB or Storage Chamber on the Windsor riverfront.
CSOs contained high proportion of solids with poor settleability.
CRTB or Vortex Separators were unable to meet MOE Procedure F-5-5.
Therefore, an effective treatment technology that requires a small foot-print is required for CSO control.
13
MOE – Procedure F-5-5
Furthermore, the seasonal average TSS concentration in the effluent of a treatment system should not exceed 90 mg/L for more than 50% of the time for an average year during the seven-month period commencing within 15 days of April 1.
14
Approach
A high-rate Retention Treatment Basin (RTB) with chemical coagulation was identified as the preferred approach for CSO treatment.
However, additional information were needed to determine if a high-rate RTB combined with chemical coagulation could be designed for the site that would: Have a small enough footprint, and Meet the requirements of the MOE Procedure F-5-5.
15
Establish the feasibility of using a high-rate RTB in treating Windsor CSO employing coagulation ( with coagulants, such as polymers).
Establish the characteristics of CSOs Run batch and pilot plant studies Establish removal efficiencies for pollutants from the
CSOs at various surface overflow rates (SORs) Establish operating conditions and sludge management
Approach (contd..)
16
Scope Settling Column Tests
Evaluate settling characteristics of solids with and without chemical addition
Determine appropriate type of polymer and its required dosage based on Jar Test results
Design and construct a Pilot-plant to be used as High Rate RTB
Verify performance characteristics Develop design parameters for the full scale RTB Carry out CFD Study to:
Determine the size and geometry of the RTB Finalize Inlet and Outlet arrangements

Operating conditions
Two types of cationic polymers were tested (ZETAG) The RTB were tested for surface overflow rates (SOR)
ranged from 6 m/h to 57 m/h.
The performance of the RTB were evaluated by analysing
multiple samples for each run The samples were analyzed
for: TSS BOD TKN TP

Full-Scale Design of the High Rate RTB
Based on the pilot-scale RTB tests and CFD simulation results, it is suggested to design the full-scale RTB facility using a design SOR of 12,000gpd/ft2 (20 m3/m2•hr). (Conventional RTB basin is typically sized with typical design SORs of 1,200-3,000gpd/ft2 (2-5 m3/m2•hr).
Therefore, the high-rate RTB will only need to be approximately 10-25% of the size of a conventional RTB.

The TSS concentration in the influent CSO ranged from
180 mg/L to 300 mg/L, compared to a mean value of 150
mg/L for raw sewage.
The average BOD concentration in the influent CSO was
found to be around 100 mg/L . This is compared to a
mean value ranged from 140 mg/L to 195 mg/L for raw
sewage.
