Background - A large U.S. municipal wastewater treatment plant treats 70 MGD through two parallel 35 MGD flow trains.
A 5.7 MGD treatment works in Spain is located in a holiday and resort area. Blended primary/secondary biosolids are thickened and dewatered using centrifuges at a flowrate of 26 gpm, 10 hours/day. The dewatering room is vented to a bio-filter scrubber.
A 75 MGD U.S. water reclamation plant serves a city of 400,000 population. The treatment process stabilizes biosolids in 4 anaerobic digesters. After years of use, the lids on two of the digesters collapse forcing emergency repairs.
There is a concern about worker safety at a small European wastewater plant. The plant receives primarily residential wastewater at a flowrate of 0.95 MGD. The first process unit is a 32,000 gallon flow equalization tank (nominal retention time - 48 minutes). From there it is pumped to coarse…
