Plant/Process Description:
Wastewater collected by the interceptors flows to
EBMUD's wastewater treatment plant in Oakland
near the entrance of the San Francisco-Oakland
Bay Bridge. Primary treatment removes floating
material, oils and greases, sand and silt and
organic solids heavy enough to settle in water.
Secondary treatment biologically removes most of
the suspended and dissolved organic and chemical
impurities that would rob life-giving oxygen from
the waters of the Bay if allowed to decompose
naturally.
The treatment steps are pre-chlorination (for
odor control), screening (to remove large
objects), grit removal, primary sedimentation,
secondary treatment using high-purity, oxygen-
activated sludge, final clarification, sludge
digestion, dewatering and composting. The treated
effluent is then disinfected, dechlorinated and
discharged one mile off the East Bay shore
through a deep-water outfall into San Francisco
Bay.
EBMUD provides secondary treatment for a maximum
flow of 168 million gallons per day (MGD).
Primary treatment can be provided for up to 320
MGD. Storage basins provide plant capacity for a
short-term hydraulic peak of 415 MGD. The average
annual flow is currently 80 MGD.
