Plant/Process Description:
The Dunlap Wastewater Plant operates a 0.934 mgd
extended aeration activated sludge plan with
chlorination/dechlorination followed by land
application of sludge.
The aeration tanks are part of the biological
process. The air enters the tank through the
defusers in the bottom traveling up to the
surface, supplying the microorganisms with free
dissolved oxygen. The air also creates a
continuous mixing in the tank which brings the
microorganisms in contact with their food
source.
In the claifiers the velosity of the water is
reduced for separation and settling of the
solids. The heavier particles are regulated back
to the aeration tank, and the clean water is then
disinfected and discharged.
The digester tanks are the final treatment
process for the solids. Aerated digesters, such
as these, are operated similar to the aeration
tanks, in that air is induced with diffusers. The
air is then turned off for separation of solids.
The clear water is returned back to the system.
Air is again added until proper digestion. Then
the biosolids are used in land application
fertilizer.
