Plant/Process Description:
The Lancaster WRP provides primary and secondary
treatment (aerated oxidation ponds) for 16 million
gallons of wastewater per day. The plant serves a
population of approximately 160,000 people. The
Lancaster WRP processes all wastewater solids
generated at the plant. The wastewater solids are
anaerobically digested, stored, and then dewatered
by spreading them onto concrete drying beds. The
dewatered cake, or biosolids, is hauled away for
composting. Methane gas is produced during the
digestion process and is utilized by a
co-generation process that heats water and
produces electricity.
Over 3 million gallons per day of the chlorinated
effluent is reused at a local farm for irrigation
of alfalfa. Nearly 6 million gallons per day are
sent to Piute Ponds to maintain 200 acres of
wetlands as a wildlife refuge. Over 6.5 million
gallons per day receive advanced treatment
consisting of chemical coagulation to reduce
phosphate and dual-media filtration and are sent
to Apollo Lakes Regional Park.
