| Design Flow: 480,000 Gallons Per Day Type of Process: Extended Aeration Degree of Treatment: Flow Equalized/Secondary/Tertiary/DeChlorination Type of Waste: Domestic Location: Charlotte, North Carolina |
| Description: This facility is used to treat the wastewater from homes which surround a subdivision's golf course. These are large homes which average 400 gallons per day, per home. Because the flow fluctuates with peaks exceeding 4-5 times the average design flow rate, a complete flow equalization system was incorporated into the design of the facility. In addition, the aeration zones were oversized to meet the ammonia-nitrogen discharge requirements. Because the effluent limitations on BOD and suspended solids were stringent, mechanical sludge collection was used. To reduce the BOD and suspended solids levels, a rapid sand tertiary treatment system was also incorporated. Our crew delivered and installed the complete system as shown in the photograph above. The photograph shows some of the crew still at the site during the installation period. |
