MODULAR SYSTEM OF HNV TYPE TREATMENT PLANTS
PURPOSE In case of higher amounts of wastewater, that is from few private houses or the whole settlement wastewater treatment plants are installed from separate factory made wastewater treatment blocks. Using blocks of wastewater treatment, there has been established the modular system of wastewater treatment plants, by applying the system for wastewater treatment of newly built settlements or city quarters. Installation of modular treatment plants from separate blocks results in easy selection, maintenance, changing of treatment plants, depending on amounts of wastewater, pollution and other factors. On change of wastewater collection conditions, that is on change of the amount of the inlet wastewater or on increase/decrease of pollution, modular systems may be adjoined, if debit increases or turned-off, if debit decreases; thus, it is possible to achieve especially good treatment indexes and to reduce maintenance expenses. NOTE: Operation technology of modular treatment facilities, outlay, service and maintenance instructions are selected individually.

Description of the technological scheme
Factory made modular biological treatment units are provided to be installed for wastewater treatment in settlements.
Firstly, from the pressure line, wastewater enters the pressure reduction chamber (1). Pressure reduction chamber is provided in case wastewater shall be fed to treatment facilities with the help of the pump station. Then the flow of wastewater flows through automatic grating (2), where large-scale silt is withheld (paper, cloths, etc.). Manually controlled grating (3) is installed in case of emergency. Wastewater, cleaned from large-scale silt, enters the aerated sand trap (4), where wastewater is cleaned from large–scale particles (sand, gravel, soil, etc.). Sand separator (5) is provided for sand dewatering. After sand traps, wastewater enters flow alignment reservoir (7), from which with the help of the pump wastewater is fed to the distribution manhole (8) and further fed at an equal flow into two parallel chains of biological treatment plants of domestic wastewater HNV-N-30 (9, 10). In case of malfunction of pumps or on occurrence of higher debit then the designed one, emergency line for bypassing the flow of wastewater is provided. Air is supplied to the aeration chamber with the help of airblowers (6). From the aeration chamber the mixture of sludge enters the vertical secondary settling tank (10), where cleaned wastewater is separated from the activated and excess sludge. The designed wastewater treatment duration in the secondary settling tank is 3 hours. Activated circulating sludge is returned to the aeration chamber with the help of the pump and excess sludge is discharged to the aerational sludge stabiliser (11). Air is supplied to the sludge stabiliser with the help of airblowers (17). The sludge, thickened up to 96% of humidity, is transported into regional sludge draining sites. After secondary settling tanks through the flow collection manhole (12) clean water further flows through the reference Debit measurement well (13) and the reference manhole for collection of samples (14), then cleaned water flows-out into the place foreseen according tot the project.

Installation Manual grating chamber is used as underground equipment. The chamber is produced from a vertical glass-fibre tank. Diameter of grating chamber D – 1,500mm, other dimensions (H*, H, d1, d2) depend on deepening and pipe diameter of wastewater lines of a certain object. Supplementary collection (riser rings) depends on manifold deepening. Subject to the selected place, treatment plant may be installed in a green lawn or under the roadway (not recommended due to uncomfortable maintenance). Maintenance of manual grating chamber depends on inlet wastewater parameters of a certain object; it is recommended to check grating chamber once per day, in order to avoid grating gaps from clogging.
NOTE: geometric parameters and constructional outlay of manual grating are every time selected individually. Mechanical–automatic grating
Mechanical grating MEVA MONOSCREEN
Rotational grating MEVA MONOSCREEN is fitted in the body, constructed from two robust steel slabs. End slabs are connected with cross-beams. Rotational grating and worm-gear motor are fitted inside the body. Power transmission unit, transmitting motion from worm-gear motor to moving parts of the rotational grating, is protected with a steel cover. Rotational grating MEVA MONOSCREEN is constructed from two interchanging segment systems, one of which is fixed and other is moving. Both segment systems are installed on cross-axes. Rotational grating is installed, so that one segment is fixed and the other is moving. Clearance between moving and fixed segments – clearance width (1mm). Moving segments lift collected silt and move it upwards. In this way, silt, collected by rotational grating, is gradually lifted upwards until they reach the upper limit and then falls into the hopper or into the transportation unit for further treatment.

SAND TRAPS General
Sand trap – it is the unit intended for separation of sand and similar mineral materials from wastewater. Pollutants separated from domestic wastewater in the sand trap contain a lot of sand, gravel, slag and other solid mineral materials that are smaller than organic pollutants present in wastewater. Pollutants settling in sand traps have own gravity of roughly 2.65.
Sand traps: 1. protect mechanical wastewater equipment against abrasive impact of pollutants and quick
wear; 2. protect equipment of wastewater treatment plants against hardly eliminated sludge
accumulation; 3. allow avoiding frequent emptying of wastewater sludge digesters that would be necessary
in digesters, when large amounts of sand accumulate. Operation of sand traps is based on that, in case of wastewater inlet into the reservoir of sand trap of larger cross-section, their flow rate decreases and thus heavier pollutant particles settle on the bottom of the sand trap. Pollutants that settle in sand traps are periodically discharged. Sand traps in the technological chain of wastewater treatment are usually built after grating, before primary settling tanks. Aerated sand traps (AS):
1. AS – 1, efficiency up to 10m3/h; 2. AS – 2, efficiency up to 30m3/h.

Sand trap AS-2
Aerated sand trap is the sand trap modification, where rotation of the treated wastewater flow is initiated with compressed air. It can be also used to eliminate floating particles. Wastewater flow motion is initiated by feeding compressed air into the aerated sand trap. Heavier silt moving in the flow – sand, gravel, etc. moves faster in the flow, friction into one another and other particles, lightweight, organic particles of wastewater silt separate from them; then, sand is rinsed. Rinsed sand settles on the bottom of the aerated sand trap and, with the help of the pump, accumulated sand is discharged into the dewatering equipment (a sandbox or sand separators).
Advantages of the aerated sand trap:
• sand in aerated sand traps is separated from organic silt that has a lower abrasive impact to the following equipment of wastewater treatment processes, reduces their wear;
• no need for special equipment to rinse the separated sand; • sand eliminated from aerated sand traps contains less decomposing organic silt; it is cleaner,
thus, it is more suitable for usage and discharge.

SAND SEPARATORS Purpose Sand separators eliminate sand and dirt from wastewater. They can be used in industrial companies, paper mills, slaughterhouses, food processing companies, companies processing natural resources, etc. for processing of wastewater flow or for treatment and for protection of mechanical equipment after them, and for increase of efficiency and reliability of the entire wastewater system. Sand separators are constructed from a hopper and a screw conveyor without a shaft. Wastewater flows into the hopper, where sand and dirt settle. Settled minerals and deposit are transferred and dewatered prior to discharge into the container.
Sand separator
