Within the Wastewater Treatment process the growth of soft fouling materials (algae) create problems such as Total Suspended Solids issues, false BOD readings, clogged pumps, and reduced flow rates through the weirs of clarifiers. Furthermore, dead or dying algae can cause additional odor concerns. This phenomenon has cost municipalities and taxpayer’s untold amounts of money due to the required maintenance dollars spent to correct this problem.

Within the Wastewater Treatment process the growth of soft fouling materials (algae) create problems such as Total Suspended Solids issues, false BOD readings, clogged pumps and reduced flow rates through the weirs of clarifiers. Furthermore, dead or dying algae can cause additional odor concerns. This phenomenon has cost municipalities and taxpayer’s untold amounts of money due to the required maintenance dollars spent to correct this problem. This paper will present the readers with a view of some of the previous methods used to correct this problem and the effects caused by these methods. It will also discuss how the transfer of technology from another market segment is providing the industry with a solution that presents no side effects that will have to be addressed in the future and the thought process and testing that lead to this coating technology being considered as a potential solution. Finally, the author will tie the paper into a case study where silicone foul release coatings have been used to remediate the issues with soft fouling on a clarifier launder trough in a large municipality in the U.S.

During the testing of circular grit chambers in a wastewater treatment plant under construction, serious leaking problems were discovered prior to project completion.  After meetings with the Owner, Design and Construction engineering firms, painting contractor and coatings manufacturer, the decision was made to apply 80 mils of pure polyurea to various concrete surfaces.  This presentation, through the use of photo images taken during remediation, describes the nature of the problem and how it was solved.
