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
