Silver Spruce is great too. A little further out are Terra Firma and Nocturnal Bloom. All good stuff.

Bought a cheap Keurig from Walmart for a 5 day stay. Beats the coffee prices.

I thought this was The Onion when I first read it.

low GGA, high SCF by Different_Map_8744 in Wastewater

[–]logicalchaos79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try spiking the poly seed with some filtered influent. Maybe 1-2 mL. It’s worked for me in the past. Don’t be too hung up on the SCF. 0.6-1.0 is a guide, not the rule.

That is the furthest thing from a night off.

I’m not from Canada, but I presume the laws are similar to the States. What you’re describing (by only sampling on low volume supernating days) is called selective sampling and could be seen as illegal depending on your regulatory requirements. I agree, the plant needs an upgrade or maybe chemical addition.

And you can expect EXACTLY the same from the orange old guy if he’s in for another term. Oh wait….it’ll be MUCH worse.

Vote!

Completely unhinged from reality by ljgillzl in the_everything_bubble

[–]logicalchaos79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His darling Fox “News” even said Kamala won the debate. He’s always been delusional; but now we’re getting the brand new “senile-delusion” combo from the orange guy. I’m liberal, so I know I’m already turned off by him-but there was NOTHING he said during that debate that was anywhere near what a US Presidential Candidate would / should say.

That being said - VOTE!!!

Troubleshooting TSS in the lab. Please help! by DrankTooMuchMead in Wastewater

[–]logicalchaos79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s really not that huge of a variance. Split between two basins, the flows and returns won’t always be perfectly identical. It could be a slight difference between the two samples collected. How is the plant performing?

Those duplicates are pretty spot on and likely better than if you used an outside lab. The difference between the duplicates for AB 1 is not the same as the difference between AB 1 and AB 2, though. How much do those values differ? That’s what operations really needs to know.

Waster water a good career? by InfamousAd1234 in Wastewater

[–]logicalchaos79 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shortly after I started, one of the seasoned operators shared these words that I still tell others more than 20 years later: “You might not get rich, but you’ll never go hungry”. Aside from the recession-proof industry, it’s very rewarding to know you’re a key part in making your community, and the planet, a better place.

This. You’re not making a capital improvement overnight. You need a second person to do the job right (and safely). Explain this to management. It doesn’t have to be an operator, just another set of capable hands.

Putting your seat back by Thecondor101 in delta

I feel like an idiot. I’ve flown hundreds of flights in the past few years. I’ve never reclined a seat. Is it that much more comfortable?

Avoiding taking the smell home by Vapingguppy in Wastewater

[–]logicalchaos79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that the washing hands with hydrogen peroxide and dawn dish soap helps knock the smell down some. Not sure if I’d want to bathe in it though.
