Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR)Alternative 1 ‐ CAS City of Soledad, CA

Advantages• Best documented and most widely used• Many operational variants• Simple design and operationDisadvantages• Large footprint• Susceptible to process upsets due to 

load and flow variations

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 operateDisadvantages• Large footprint• Difficult to modify/expand

Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR)Alternative 3 ‐ MBR

Advantages• Provides tertiary treated water 

suitable for reuse after disinfection• Combines biologic treatment and 

filtration• Compact footprintDisadvantages• Energy intensive• High O&M cost

Next Steps• Evaluate economic considerations• Refine and evaluate alternatives based on identified criteria

– Capital Cost– Life Cycle Cost– Adaptability for Potable Reuse– Operational Flexibility– Maintenance Requirements– Chemical Needs– Odor– Footprint– GHG Emissions/Energy Efficiency
