Design Improvement through Development of a Pilot-Scale Rotating Bed Filter (RBF)**System for Testing Performance Parameters

在人口增长、基础设施老化和日益严格的处理限制的推动下，许多废水处理设施正面临新的挑战，包括扩大处理能力，同时节省成本，并转向**更可持续的工艺概念。在污水处理厂通常采用的单元操作**中，扩展一级处理以增加固体和出水有机物的去除可能特别**繁重，因为固定混凝土澄清器占污水处理厂占地面积的很大一部分。**位于安大略省伦敦市的特洛伊技术公司开发了一种旋转床过滤(RBF)系统，可以**作为初级澄清的替代技术或补充。特洛伊科技公司提议**与兰伯顿学院的兰伯顿水中心合作，以帮助改进和优化这项**技术。特洛伊正在寻求开发一个小规模的RBF系统(基于他们的Salnes系统)与Lambton**学院。这种装置必须适应基于测试所需的重新设计，以及便携式和**足够可靠，以便部署到真实的污水处理厂进行数据收集。**将包括两名研究技术人员和两名研究人员的研究小组将与**特洛伊木马技术团队密切合作，在较小的规模上完善设计，他们使用这些设计来构建**演示单元。本次合作项目取得的成果，将极大地帮助Salnes Filter Technology在设计、功能和适用性方面的未来发展。

Driven by population growth, aging infrastructure, and increasingly stringent treatment limits, many wastewater**facilities are facing new challenges including expanding treatment capacity while saving costs and moving towards**more sustainable process concepts. Among the unit operations commonly employed in a wastewater treatment**plant, expanding primary treatment to increase solids and effluent organic matter removal could be particularly**onerous as fixed concrete clarifiers make up a significant portion of a wastewater treatment plants footprint.**Trojan Technologies located in London Ontario has developed a rotating bed filtration (RBF) system that can**function as a replacement technology or supplement to primary clarification. Trojan Technologies is proposing to**partner with Lambton College's Lambton Water Centre to assist with the improvement and optimization of this**technology. Trojan is looking to develop a small scale RBF system (based on their Salsnes system) with Lambton**College. Such unit must be adaptable to the re-designs required based on testing as well as portable and**sufficiently reliable to be deployed, for data collection, into real wastewater treatment plants.**The research team that will include two research technicians and two research students will work closely with the**Trojan Technologies team to perfect the design at the smaller scale, them use the designs to build into a**demonstration unit. The results obtained from this collaboration project, will greatly aid in the future development**of this Salsnes Filter Technology, both in design, functionality and applicability.
