Plant/Process Description:
The Shelbyville Wastewater Treatment Plant is
designed to handle 8.0 MGD design flow
with a peak capacity of 16.0 MGD. The flow enters
the plant from two main pump stations. The Conrey
Street Pump Station was expanded to pump 12.0 MGD
to the plant and handles all the flow from
everything south of Big Blue River. The other
main pump station is the Northside Pump Station,
which is located at the treatment plant and is
designed for 4.0 MGD peak.
The combined flow enters at a manhole for primary
influent sampling. There the flow goes through a
48" parshall flume. The flow splits into two grit
chambers. That flow is then combined and split
again to three primary clarifiers. Two existing
55' diameter clarifiers, and one new 85' diameter
clarifier. The solids that settle out are pumped
to the primary anaerobic digesters. The liquid
flows into two recirculation pump stations with a
combined wet well.
The recirculation pump station has four pumps
that pump to three 70' diameter, 14' media depth
trickling filters. The effluent from the filters
flow to a new aerated contact flow splitter
structure. From this structure, we recirculate
flow back to the recirculation pump station
according to influent flow. Also, we mix
secondary solids with the filter effluent and
send this flow to the aerated contact
chambers.
There are two of these chambers. One new 55'
diameter and one existing 80' x 20' x 12' deep
rectangular aerated contact chamber. The flow
then is split between three secondary clarifiers
each 80 feet in diameter. The solids from these
clarifiers is either pumped to the aerated solids
contact flow splitter structure or wasted to the
Northside pump station for return to the
headwork's of the plant. The effluent flow from
all three secondary clarifiers is sent to the UV
disinfection tank and is treated from April 1st
thru October 31st. The effluent is measured at
this structure and then flow through the levee
pump station and into Big Blue River. The only
time the levee pump station is used is when the
river level rises and the effluent must be pumped
to the river.
The solids from the primary clarifiers, which has
both primary and secondary solids mixed, is sent
to two primary heated anaerobic digesters. The
solids then are pumped to a secondary non-heated
anaerobic digester for treatment. The supernatant
from the digester is mixed with belt press
supernatant and aerated over a twenty-four hour
period prior to being pumped into the plant
parshall flume. The solids from the digester are
pumped to a 1-1/2 meter belt press and stored
onsite for land application.
