SLIDE 12 Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR)
Alternative 1 ‐ CAS
City of Soledad, CA
Advantages
- Best documented and most widely used
- Many operational variants
- Simple design and operation
Disadvantages
- Large footprint
- Susceptible to process upsets due to
load and flow variations
SLIDE 13 Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR)
Alternative 2 – Ox‐Ditch
BBARWA, Big Bear, CA
Advantages
- Proven technology
- Resilient under flow and load variations
- Low O&M cost for small plants
- Reliable and simple to operate
Disadvantages
- Large footprint
- Difficult to modify/expand
SLIDE 14 Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) Alternative 3 ‐ MBR
Advantages
- Provides tertiary treated water
suitable for reuse after disinfection
- Combines biologic treatment and
filtration
Disadvantages
- Energy intensive
- High O&M cost
