Abstract: An odor control composition may be dosed to a wastewater treatment system to control hydrogen sulfide levels. The composition may include a sulfide-reducing agent and an oxidizer. Synergy between the compounds of the odor control composition may facilitate efficient reduction of hydrogen sulfide levels. The sulfide-reducing agent and the oxidizer may be present in a single odor control composition or may be dosed to the system separately.

Abstract: Systems and methods for wastewater treatment. A nitrate source may be dosed to a collection tank, such as a wet well, for downstream control of hydrogen sulfide levels in the wastewater. A source of a strong oxidizer may also be dosed to the wet well. The oxidizer, such as chlorite, may temporarily interrupt denitrification processes in the wet well to prevent floatation of undesirable constituents therein. The oxidizer dosage may be generally consistent with the nitrate dosage. An ORP sensor may facilitate regulation of dosing. The nitrate and the oxidizer may be present in a single mixture to be dosed to the wet well.

Abstract: Aerobic wastewater treatment processes are controlled utilizing alkalinity measurements. A base line of alkalinity is determined by measuring the alkalinity profile of the influent to the aerobic wastewater treatment process. The alkalinity of the wastewater is sensed at a number of different points in the aerobic wastewater treatment process, such as at a clarifier effluent and sludge exit, aeration zone, and aerobic digester effluent. When the sensed alkalinity at any given point is above a predetermined amount over base line alkalinity, the air supply is increased and/or the concentration of microbes and food is reduced (as by increasing the sludge withdrawal rate from a clarifier) until the sensed alkaline level is stabilized. When the sensed alkalinity is below a predetermined amount under base line, the air supply is decreased and/or the concentration of feed and microbes increased (as by reducing or terminating sludge withdrawal from a clarifier) until the sensed alkalinity level is stabilized.
