Increasing plant capacity while improving effluent quality and decreasing energy costs

Village of Grafton Wastewater Utility
Grafton, Wisconsin

A way to increase plant capacity without adding new tankage, improve effluent quality and decrease energy costs. These improvements will extend service life, add cost reductions in energy savings, chemical reductions and allow efficient sludge disposal. Providing alternatives to teaming up with neighboring community to construct a new joint  treatment plant. Achieved this through: Providing new liquid sludge truck loading station, Installed new WAS gravity belt thickening and handling facility, and Converted 2-stage activated sludge process to single-stage.

2.5 MGD, Single-stage Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plant

Metric Used: cost reductions in energy savings, chemical reductions
