3. WASTEWATER LINE
3.1. D101 - INLET CHAMBER
The incoming flow to the wastewater treatment works (WWTW) is continuously measured
downstream of the inlet chamber D101. All flows above 8.200 m/h (2,280 litres/sec) shall
be automatically diverted to the retention tanks, using a automated penstock 101-MP-101
and a overflow weir located at the entrance of the channel of the storm water.
The supply pipes of the two storm water tanks have interception valve so that when a tank
is under maintenance it gets closed and the sewage fills the other one. It is necessary that
at Ieast the suppIy tube of one of the tanks shouId aIways remain open, so that in
case of rainstorm, the wastewater could always fill a storm water tank and, if the rainstorm
continues, through the overload level weir placed inside the tank, they move towards the
discharge end of the plant through the general by-pass pipe
All diverted flows to the storm tanks are subjected to 12 mm by self cleaning screenings.
The time cleaning of the grid is normally set by the operator. A differential level sensor
(upstream-downstream) starts the automatic cleaning of the grid. When the cleaning of the
grid starts, automatically activates also the screened material compactor, that compacts
and removes the screened material pouring it in an appropriate container bag
The operator shall select control of the penstock in auto or manual at the SCADA.
The inlet chamber equipments and instruments is shown on table 3.1.

limit it so that no more then 8200 m
3
/h are allowed.
The incoming flow is measured by the ultrasonic flow meter 101-FT-101.
The automation is carried out by an ON/OFF control, which commands the opening of
the penstock in case of measured incoming flow below the lower threshold of 8200 m
3
/h
value, and the closing of the device in case of flow exceeding 8200 + F m

The solution of ferric chloride( FeCl3) used for to delete the phosphorus , is stocked into
two tanks in the local D111. A level switch bar indicates the reaching of minimum level
inside the tank and with a light signal indicates the state of empty tank. When both tanks
are empty the dosing pumps of the solution stop working.
The three points of dosage, each with two pump (1+1R), are: at the end of the grit chamber
D104, at the inlet of biological treatment D17A,B, and in to tank flow splitting from both
aeration tanks to the three secondary tanks (DS2, DS3 and DS4).
At the entry and at the exit of the WWTP (position D101 and D109), are installed
phosphorus measuring probes (P).
f the measure of phosphorus in exit is higher than the limit fixed by the law, the remote
control warns the operator by SCADA to increase the quantity of ferric chloride to be dosed.
The process is set by the operator who decides the quantity in the position (before
primaries, before aeration tanks and before final settlement tanks ), of solution to set, in
order to be able to regulate the value of the needed flow depending on the instantaneous
flow value.

caused by the strong turbulence in the high velocity throat, and is forced into contact with
the wash solution for optimal pre-filtering.
First Tower Stage: n the first tower, the biogas from the Venturi is backwashed at low
velocity over an ample static contact surface (biogas - wash solution) obtained through
alveolar exchange packs with a high specific surface area.
Second Tower Stage: n the second tower, the biogas is scrubbed in the same way as in
the first tower and then passes through a demister: alveolar packs to separate droplets
which prevent the reagent solution carry-over.

4.10.2. HEAT UNITS
The heats units station is made of 2 boilers (1+1 for reserve). Each boiler is equipped with
a control panel mounted beside the machine that manages the operation of each single
boiler. Both the boilers during the winter are switched on and in stand-by. The boiler of
reserve may enter into operation when the electronic controller - mounted on the general
panel of the system which supervises the operation of the system - signals to the control
panel of the reserve boiler to enter in function.
The main purpose of the boilers is to maintain the sludge within the digesters at a
temperature of 35C. For this purpose have been included, on all the delivery and return
flow circuits for hot water, some temperature probes that send the signal to the control
junction box. When (for example) a temperature probe on the pipe of coming back water
from the heat exchanger of the digester refers a value of lower temperature of a certain
prefixed value, it means that it is necessary to send heat to the digester; consequently the
boiler increases its operation in order to supply the necessary heat.
The operation of each group of pumps (1+1 of reserve for each line) is set in action
manually.
n case of maintenance of a line, the group is turned off manually too.
The internal recirculation pumps of hot water, for each boiler, are instead managed from the
control panel of each boiler.
A part of the heat produced by the boilers is used to heat the local of mechanical
dewatering (D116-D125). n the cold season, the circulation pumps of warm water are
switched on, and they send it to le local.
At the same time are switched on: all the pumps of the substation, the two pumps of the
circuits of aerothermals and the one of the UTA circuit (unit of air treatment).
The internal fan of the UTA, which exchanges the air within the local of dewatering, works
all the year, while the pump for sending the warm water to the heat exchanger, works only
in wintertime.
Each aerothermal is equipped with a thermostat that, once reached the prefixed ambient
temperature, switches it off.
n this case the remote control has only the task of monitoring and supervise the operation
of each machine (start/stop/alarm).

The pumps 118A, B, C installed in the boiler room D122 heated sludge digester through
heat exchangers
When the process of digestion is started, the biogas produced fills the membrane
gasometers. The indication of the degree of filling of gasometers is indicated by a internal
probe of position. At this point you can manually select the functioning of the boiler by
biogas. When the process is fully launched you can turn cogenerators (using biogas). The
pumps 121A,B move hot water from cogenerators to the main collector of thermal station,
recovering heat from the cooling of the engines and from exhaust fumes of cogenerators.
The pumps 122 (1 1R) move the water produced by the boiler to the main collector.
The pump 125 moves hot water to the dewatering building D125-D116 for the heating of
environment. n the mechanical dewatering building the hot water coming from the thermal
station is recirculated by 125-OCP-102 to the UTA (Air Treatment Unit), that makes a
replacement of the internal air of the local. n addition there are two other circuits served by
pumps 125-OCP-103 and 125-OCP-104, one sends the hot water to the 6 aerothermic of
the mechanical dehydration, and the other one sends it to the 2 aerothermic of the local
due to the storing and dosing of ferric chloride.

4.11. D123 - GASHOLDERS
The biogas produced by the 3 digesters is sent through an appropriate piping to 3
membrane gasometers each with a volume of 1.000 m. An ultrasonic level allows you to
measure the movement of the membrane and therefore to determine the quantity of stored
gas.
The console of control of each gasometer allows the control of the signal with the
monitoring of the state of the gasometer (it remains to decide what to send to TLC, empty,
full, etc.).
n case of need, for the disposal of the exceeding biogas it is provided an appropriate torch
of emergency (D124).
The biogas goes out of the gasometers with a maximum pressure of 25 mbar and goes
through a division of desulfurization and dehumidification, for the cleaning of the biogas
from the H
2
S (hydrogen sulphide) and for its dehumidification (essentially making it more
dry). First the biogas passes through a scrubber tower that through a washing with a
solution of soda (sodium carbonate), it comes reduced by the component H
2
S. The
scrubber is equipped with a switchgear, mounted beside the machine, that controls and
gives power to the fan, the pumps, the tools and all the devices of process control.
At the exit of the vertical scrubber, the biogas goes through a dehumidifier, made by a
condenser powered by a water chiller.
Within the desulphurisation local (D120) two sensors are installed, one for the gas and one
for the smoke, in case of alarm they intervene on the interception valve of biogas on the
transport piping and they exclude the biogas feed to the scrubber.
At the exit from the process of desulfurization and dehumidification, having the biogas a
little pressure, it is pumped to the using devices (cogenerators and boilers) through 1+1
reserve blower in order to increase the pressure to a maximum of 150 mbar.
