19 Liquid Handling

20 Unit Processes Considered Raw Sewage Pumping Screening Grit Removal Primary Tanks Aeration Tanks / Nutrient Removal Aeration Blowers Final Tanks Tertiary Treatment (for space planning only) Disinfection (for space planning only)

21 Raw Sewage Pumps RAW SEWAGE PUMPS

22 Existing Raw Sewage Pumps - Existing 6 Constant Speed Capacity: n MGD n MGD Objective: 450 MGD w/ flexibility

23 Raw Sewage Pumps Recommendation Replace Impellers in Small Pumps w/ New Motors and VFD s Benefits: Improves Reliability Wide Range of Flow VFD enables automatic control Replace Impellers in Pumps No. 3 & 4 w/ new Motors and VFD s Meets 450 mgd w/ one VFD pump and P-5 or P-6 out of service

24 Screening SCREENING

25 Existing Screens Climber Type Coarse Screens 3.5 Clear Spacing Fine Screens 0.5 Clear Spacing

26 Screening Recommendation Replace Coarse Screens w/ 1.5 clear spacing; continue to maintain existing fine screens Benefits: Improves reliability Minimizes solids build-up in grit tanks Replace existing coarse climber screens

27 Grit Removal GRIT BUILDING

28 Grit System - Existing Aerated Grit Tank Dewatering w/concrete wash tank or cyclones & classifiers

29 Grit System Recommendation Continue to maintain aerated grit system; provide redundant wash tank Benefits: Improves reliability Minimizes need for cyclones and classifiers Provides redundancy

30 Primary Tanks PRIMARY TANKS

31 Primary Tanks at 1,000 gpd/sf Conceptual Sketch Considered a range of loading rates from 1,000 to 2,000 gpd/sf

32 Primary Tanks - Existing Square Tanks Circular Tanks Square Tank w/ side feed 8 Square 80 x 80 x 14 center water depth dia w/ center water depth Total Surface Overflow Rate (SOR) 2,270 current average 259 MGD

33 Primary Tanks Recommendation Provide 8 new Primary 100 diameter; maintain existing circular tanks 8 new Primary 100 dia Benefits: Eliminates inefficient square tanks Improves hydraulic flow splitting Provides 2,000 gpd/sf

34 Aeration Tanks / Nutrient Removal D C B A AERATION TANKS

35 Aeration Tanks - Existing D C B A 4 Batteries w/ Total 68 million gallons Hydraulic Retention Time, 259 MGD current annual average flow, 6.3 hours Single stage nitrification, plug flow Silica / Alumina plate type diffusers
