DOING IT ALL “We have specialists on staff, but all operators can perform every job,” says Pendleton. “An operator may perform plant operations today, and tomorrow be land-applying, working in the lab, or doing groundswork and painting.” Everyone is cross-trained, according to lead operator and laboratory manager Albert Solberg. “They all have to learn how to run digester samples in the lab. After a little training, they pick it right up.” Pendleton, who has been with the utility for 26 years, 12 at the treatment plant, holds a Grade IV wastewater license and Grade II wastewater collection and water distribution licenses. Solberg has been with the plant for 10 years and holds a Grade IV wastewater license. His duties include overseeing

Building Better Leaders STEVEN HARDEMAN BELIEVES NEWLY APPOINTED SUPERVISORS SHOULDN’T HAVE TO LEARN LEADERSHIP SKILLS THROUGH THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS — HE CONSIDERS TRAINING ESSENTIAL. By Ted J. Rulseh

I

t’s tough making the move from clean-water plant operations to management. Many who take that step have to learn leadership skills on their own, by trial and error. That was the case for Steven Hardeman, plant superintendent in Norman, Okla. He went to work in waterline maintenance for the city in 1984, moved to the wastewater treatment plant three years later, and worked up the ranks to lead operator, supervisor, and ultimately his current position, which he assumed in 2010. On the way, he struggled with the transition from team member to team leader. He now wants to do his part to make life easier for his eventual successors and for operators across Oklahoma who aspire to more responsibility. He earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of Phoenix and reads widely about leadership. He has also worked with the Oklahoma Water and Pollution Control Association, and plans to work with the Oklahoma Water Environment Association, to build the beginnings of leadership training programs.

As a shield — taking the brunt of things coming at them from every direction. Once I sat and wrote them all down, and I came up with 29 roles a supervisor has to fulfill.

Steven Hardeman

: How did you deal with having to lead people with whom you used to work as equals? Hardeman: Number one is constant prayer and my faith. Number two was to figure out how to make us one uniform team. When I first became a supervisor, I asked our plant superintendent at the time, “What is our mission here?” I thought that if I could use our mission statement to direct what we did, maybe that would give us a “Our culture comes down to five values: Humble, teachable, foundation. It turns out we have a twofold mission: Provide the available, flexible and adaptable. One thing I have learned is that if safest, highest-quality effluent, and do so at the lowest you have people with good values, you can teach them anything.” cost to our citizens. I thought maybe I could take that and build a program around it — this is what we do, and STEVEN HARDEMAN here’s what everybody’s role is. I began to talk about our mission, taking the focus off of me and putting it on what we were doing. In addition, Hardeman led the development of the City of Norman LeadWhen I asked someone to do something, I made sure they understood it as ership Council, with a mission “to provide managers with the skills to lead part of our mission — not something they had to do because Steve said so. their teams to higher productivity and personal development.” Hardeman talked about his experiences growing into leadership, and about the leadership : That issue aside, how did you approach leadership? principles he puts to work, in an interview with Treatment Plant Operator. Hardeman: I had to figure out how to lead people — how to deal with : For you, what was it like making the transition to leadership? their situations, how to talk to different people. How do you deal with someHardeman: Essentially I was told, “We’re going to make you the superone who has a problem at home and has brought that to work and can’t pervisor — there’s your office.” Now what? I knew I had to make the plant operform on the job? Or what about a guy who’s coming in late all the time? How ate, but on the management side, what was I going to do? I knew I needed to do you correct that behavior and make him a productive team member withmake the work schedule and approve staff members’ vacations and sick leave. out breaking his spirit?

I am in the business of helping people understand tually called my former boss at his new job and asked him. what their roles are and what is required of them to make us successful. As far as I’m concerned, writing people up for discipline should be the last resort. : What was the hardest part about becoming a leader? : What is your core philosophy about leadership? Hardeman: Leading people I had worked with for many years. I had Hardeman: I believe Biblical principles, such as servant leadership, can been their buddy and friend, and now I was their boss. I had to figure out work in the workplace: I’m a servant leader to my staff. I had to determine how to maintain good relationships with people who once were my peers — what the team members’ skills sets were and what I needed to give them to in fact, two of them used to be my boss.

GREENING THE PLANT

Targeting Efficiency

The Freeport Wastewater Treatment Plant upgraded its aeration system and added an effluent thermal system, drastically reducing energy costs.

FREEPORT SEWER DISTRICT KEEPS WATERWAYS CLEAN AND REDUCES OPERATING COSTS WITH ENERGY-SAVING TREATMENT PLANT UPGRADES By Lisa Balcerak

In 2010, the Woodard & Curran engineering firm conducted a plant energy audit and power assessment. Brian Cataldo, project engineer, proposed several efficiency upgrades to Arris, who was chairman of the wastewater board at the time. They included an aeration upgrade that would cut electrical costs in half. “When I saw that the project would save us more than $80,000 annually, it caught my eye,” Arris says. “That’s like two years of savings in user rate increases of 4 percent. We didn’t have to raise rates

The upgrade separated sludge pumping from aeration. The electric sludge pump retrofit has led to significant electricity savings.

The upgrades included hybrid positive displacement blowers (Aerzen).

for two years because of that savings, even with significant improvements in staffing and operations.” The plant was built in 1974 with coarse-bubble diffusers. The upgrade separated sludge pumping from aeration and retrofitted fine-bubble diffusers to improve efficiency and save energy. The project also added hybrid positive displacement blowers (Aerzen) with premium efficiency motors (WEG) and variable-frequency drives (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation). The updates, completed in January 2012, saved an average of 70,000 kWh per month, or about $100,000 per year. Full payback is expected in eight years. About one third of the $950,000 project cost was funded by a grant from Efficiency Maine, an independent trust that promotes energy efficiency. The district borrowed the remainder from bonds through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). The new aeration system required a learning curve for plant superintendent Dan Bicknell and the operating team. “With the old system, there was no technology — we just turned the blowers on full speed,” Bicknell says. “It was easy to operate, but we didn’t get great results. Now we can measure and balance our units for optimum operating conditions. We have data trending and more testing available to us.” Console effluent thermal heaters allow employees to adjust temperature and humidity in their offices.

hree years ago, an energy audit of the Freeport (Maine) Wastewater Treatment Plant found many ways to save energy by upgrading old equipment, changing processes and insulating the building. Now the Freeport Sewer District is saving more than $90,000 in electricity and $25,000 in heating oil annually. To serve a population of 8,300, the district operates a secondary treatment facility and maintains 18 miles of gravity pipes, 11 miles of force main and 11 lift stations. The treatment plant has three independent trains, and operators can divert water to as many trains as necessary. The 0.75 mgd plant treats 0.350 mgd on average. Effluent discharges to the Harraseeket River, home to one of the richest clam beds in New England. Biosolids are co tourists,” says Leland Arris, general manager. “No one wants to fish, swim or boat in a bad river. There are 24 lobster families and 60 clamming families who work on the river. We affect a lot of people if we have a negative effect on the river.” Over the last few years, the district has renewed its emphasis on outperforming state requirements. The outfall is in the river estuary, and with clam digging in that area, the district maintains a close relationship with the state Department of Marine Resources, which regulates the distance from the outfall at which clammers are allowed to dig.

LAB DETECTIVE

THE LAB DETECTIVE HELPS AN SBR PLANT’S LEAD OPERATOR FIGURE OUT WHY THE SYSTEM IS STRUGGLING WITH NITRIFICATION AND DEVISES A REMEDY By Ron Trygar, CET

J

oe, the chief plant operator at the city’s wastewater treatment plant, was perplexed. After numerous adjustments to the aeration system and batch times, the facility continued to struggle with nitrifying. Since the nitrification process was inhibited, the facility was not meeting its state effluent total nitrogen permit limit of 3.0 mg/L. Joe decided to ask other surrounding operators for their opinion and advice. One of these operators recommended Joe contact the Lab Detective.

PLACE TO START The detective’s first communication with Joe was in a short phone conversation about the plant and its location. It seemed the facility was not far from where the detective was at the time, and he could pay a visit. During the drive, he thought of possible issues that cause poor nitrification: • Low dissolved oxygen (DO) levels • Low alkalinity and pH levels • Too short of an oxic retention time • Too low MLSS amounts and short sludge age • Liquid temperatures too high or too low

gen gas in a reduction process where no free dissolved oxygen is present, normally in an anoxic basin or anoxic time cycle during a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) treatment batch. The facility seemed to be having trouble in the oxidizing part of nitrogen removal. The detective also went over the plant information Joe had given him: • A two-tank SBR, design flow 1.1 mgd • Three positive-displacement blowers (Figure 1) • Influent ammonia concentration of 30 mg/L as N • Influent alkalinity of 270 mg/L as CaCO3 • Influent pH of 7.5 • Mostly domestic wastewater from residential users

SURPRISE ON THE WAY

All this information seemed pretty normal for wastewater — nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, the Lab Detective should have expected the unexpected. Once the detective arrived at the plant site, Joe gave a brief tour. The SBR plant was about 15 years old — an system made of porcelain-coated Joe, Bill and the detective began digging in one of the brown patches, above-ground metal plates bolted together.

Out of the total batch time, more than 2.0 hours were being devoted to aeration (oxic iron pipe, the hissing sound of escaping air was apparent. time). Since the plant had strict total nitrogen permit requirements, complete biological nitrification and denitrification were essential. • Rapid liquid temperature change (temperature shock) Joe and the Lab Detective looked over the last year’s lab data, • High influent ammonia/ammonium concentration process control testing results and design drawings. Joe described • Toxic material in the influent the operational difficulties during the past year to year and a half.
