PERMANGANATE FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT

CEU TYPE:  Wastewater Technical (WWT)
IEPA#: 19313

TOPIC:  Wastewater odor complaints can happen at anytime and any place in the wastewater treatment process from lift stations and manholes in the collection system to the headworks or dewatering equipment at the wastewater plant. How hydrogen sulfide and other odors form in a wastewater system and what issues they can cause in addition to complaints such as corrosion on equipment and infrastructure and worker safety issues will be discussed.  Collection system pump station applications for liquid permanganate for both immediate odor control versus long term odor control will be discussed along with case studies.  Finally, sludge dewatering applications with liquid permanganate for immediate odor control at belt presses and centrifuges will be shown with case studies detailing the before and after results of treatment.
