Management of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

Where’s My Capacity? How One WRRF Mitigated the Toxic Effect of the Drought and Pandemic

Wednesday, April 19, 2023
3:30 PM – 4:30 PM PST
This presentation provides an overview of QACs, surfactants and FOG, their impact on WRRFs, and the findings from a case study of the Goleta Sanitation District (GSD) WRRF where nanobubbles treat 4.2 million gallons per day (MGD) of municipal wastewater to remove inhibitory compounds and increase treatment capacity.

Learning Objectives:

  • List three common industrial or consumer sources of surfactants.
  • List five common issues that surfactants cause in wastewater treatment plants.
  • Name three characteristics of a nanobubble and describe how nanobubbles interact with and remove surfactants.
