Hydrology and NH4-N removal in a CW treating combined sewer overflow

Résumé

CWs for combined sewer overflow treatment (CSO CWs) are vertical flow filters with detention basin and fixed outflow rate. They receive stochastic loadsinduced by urban runoff and protect natural waters against pollutants and streambed erosion. Thefull-scale site at Marcy l‘Etoile was monitored to gain data about hydrology and to quantify NH4-N adsorption capacities and nitrification rate. The throttled outlet ensuresa uniformflow in the porous media, butonly aftersaturation. Until then,the percolation is focused to the inletzone. As only a partof the filteris water-contacted and detention times are shorter than normal, removal performances are lower. The phenomenon is referred to as shortcutting, a temporary state at commencing load, which might last at low inflow rates. Eighteen TDR probes weredug in the longitudinal section of the filter to follow changes in the water content. This enabled to createan animation of the expansion of saturated area until complete saturation. Furthermore, tracer tests were carried out to signify shortcutting at different stages in the filter (Fig. 1).The filter was fed at the inlet point at a fixed and lowrate until saturation and three fluorescein pulses were dosed withidenticaldelay.The basin was flooded after to follow tracer passage and washout. Results were used to parameterizethemodel-based design-support tool Orage [1]and to suggest an improvementof the outflow limitationstructureto minimize shortcutting.
