WasteWater
Debris and Grit Removal
Wastewate is screened
vac-all trucks remove screenings and haul to landfill for final disposal
Aerated grit chambers capture and remove grit
Primary Sedimentation
Sewage flows into primary sedimentation tanks that separate about half of the suspended solids from the liquids
Secondary Reactors
step by step- feed modified aeration activated sludge process
6 centrifugal blowers
bubble diffusers
Secondary Sedimentation Basins
Settled sludge is recycled
Excess biological solids are pumped from the return sludge system as waste activated sludge to the Dissolved Air Flotation Thickeners
Denitrification/Nitrification
Process is a suspended growth biological system starting with 12 reactors
Nitrification process facilities the oxidation of ammonia nitrogen to nitrogen gas.
Lime and sodium hydroxide is added at the head of the nitrification/denitrification reactors to maintain the desired alkanity level that is required for the process to function properly.
Nitrification/Sedimentation Basins
Nitrification and denitrification prosess continues with mixed liquor from the odd and even sides.
Dual Purpose Sedimentation Basins
Nitrification and denitrification effluent flows from the DPSB
Secondary effluent is pumped to the nitrification/denitrification process
