Criteria
Comments
Demonstrated
Proven process/technology to meet permit
performance
limits reliably
Hydraulic sensitivity
Capability to handle variations in
hydraulic loads with minimal process
impacts
Waste loading
Capability to handle variations in waste
sensitivity
loads with minimal process impacts
Process control
Not subject to upset from inadvertent
stability
operational changes, toxic slugs
Flexibility
Capability for changes in process
operations to handle differing waste load
conditions and to meet differing
treatment objectives for different
effluent requirements
Environmental Effects
Odor
Minimizes potential for odors
Noise
Minimizes potential for noise
Visual impacts
Minimizes negative visual impact of
facility
Effects on floodplain
Minimizes changes to floodplain
Effects on wetlands
Minimizes changes to wetlands
Footprint
Minimizes footprint and disruption to
site, including removal of trees, etc.
Expandability
Footprint
Maximizes area available for expansion
Flexibility
Easily modified to meet differing future
loads, effluent requirements, and/or
treatment objectives
