Wastewater Treatment Plants.
Raw Building
The Raw Building houses influent screening
equipment.
Influent
Influent, or raw wastewater, is pumped into
open channels in the raw building.

stream prior to
entering the
Oxidation Ditch.
Oxidation Ditch
The Oxidation Ditch allows proper conditions
for biological treatment.
Aerator
The Aerator entrains oxygen to create the
proper conditions for treatment.
Oxidation Ditch Outfall
The Oxidation Ditch Outfall regulates the
flow from the ditch.
Final Tank #1
The Final Tank allows the solids to settle to
the bottom and the effluent to overflow
weirs for further treatment.
Final Tank #2
The Final Tank #2 is a duplication of Final Tank
#1, they can be run individually or parallel.
Ultraviolet Disinfection
Channel
The Ultraviolet Disinfection Channel contains
the Parshall flume for flow measurement, and
regulates flow to submerse the Ultraviolet
Disinfections Lights.
Ultraviolet Disinfection Lights
The Ultraviolet Disinfection Lights
eliminate bacteria.
Return Pump Building
The Return Pump Building houses the Return
and Waste Pumps.
Return & Waste Pumps
The Return and Waste Pumps return solids from
the bottom of the Final Tanks to the Oxidation
Ditch or to the Aerobic Digester.
Sludge Building
The Sludge Building houses the Sludge
Pumps, Gravity Thickner Belt, Generator,
Non-Potable Water Supply and Blowers.
Sludge Pumps
The Sludge Pumps transfer solids from Aerobic
Digestion to the Gravity Thickener Belt, from the
Gravity Thickener Belt to the Sludge Storage Tank,
and from the Sludge Storage Tank to the truck
loading station.
Gravity Thickener Belt
The Gravity Thickener Belt thickens aerobically
digested sludge from 2% to approximately 6% solids.
Generator
The Generator supplies emergency power
to maintain treatment.
Non-Potable Water Supply
The Non-Potable Water Supply provides processed
water for the treatment plant.
Blowers For Aerobic Digestion
The Blowers for Aerobic Digestion provide oxygen
for bacteria that stabilizes the solids.
Aerobic Digester
The Aerobic Digester provides the conditions for
sludge stabilization.
