Design and Performance of Physical-Chemical And Activated Sludge Treatment For An Edible Oil Plant CARL E. ADAMS, JR., President ROBERT M. STEIN, Project Manager Associated Water and Air Resources Engineers Nashville, Tennessee 37204 JOEL J. JOSEPH, Environmental Engineer THOMAS WALSH, Environmental Manager Glidden-Durkee Corporation Cleveland, Ohio 44115 INTRODUCTION In order to obtain the most economical system to provide a high quality effluent, an effective wastewater management program should be divided into several steps. First, it is necessary to thoroughly characterize the courses of wastewater and the contaminants in the wastewater. Second, the applicable state and federal regulatory criteria should be examined in order to determine the levels of treatment required. An evaluation of end-of-pipe treatment alternatives and in-plant modifications should be conducted. A preliminary economic analysis should be conducted to determine the optimum treatment program. Once this analysis is complete, unless there is sufficient data available on this or similar wastewaters, either an intensive treatability study or a treatability confirmation study should be performed to evaluate effective methods of wastewater treatment. Once the process has been determined, it is important to develop an engineering design which will provide the most practical and economical treatment method. Finally, it is imperative to provide capabilities for correct operation of the treatment system. This paper will review the wastewater management program at the Glidden-Durkee Industrial Foods plant in Joliet, Illinois. This is a vegetable oils processing and refining plant. BACKGROUND Prior to upgrading the wastewater management program, the treatment facility consisted of a total pressurization dissolved air flotation pretreatment system, a 15-day aerated lagoon and two 5-day detention time settling lagoons. Considerable problems were experienced in the operation of the facility due to floating material on the aerated lagoon and the occasional development of anaerobic odors on the treatment facilities. Initially, a wastewater characterization program was conducted to evaluate the performance of the wastewater treatment system. Figure 1 presents the statistical variation 457
