Type: Conventional Activated Sludge
Treatment Units: mechanical bar rack (1), aerated
grit chamber (1), grit blowers (2), channel
monster (1), comminutor (backup)(1), circular
primary clarifiers (2), primary sludge pumps (2),
primary scum pumps (2), internal screw pumps (3),
fine bubble aeration tanks (2), PD blower (D.O.
controlled) (1), centrifugal blowers (backup)
(2), circular secondary clarifiers (2), return
sludge pumps (3), waste sludge pumps (2),
secondary scum pumps (1), circular tertiary
clarifier (1), tertiary waste pumps (2), chlorine
contact chambers (2), chlorine delivery (1 ton
cylinders), sulfur dioxide dechlorination system,
5000 gallon alum storage tank, 2500 gallon 25%
sodium hydroxide storage tank, gravity thickeners
(2), vacuum coil filters (2), scum concentrator
(1), emergency generator (1), plant water pumps
(2), sewage pumps for separate gravity line wet

Sludge Treatment and Disposal: Presently waste
activated sludge and primary sludge are pumped to
one gravity thickener. Thickened sludge (3.9 to
5.0 %) is pumped to one gravity vacuum coil
filter and dewatered to 18 to 20% solids and
disposed of at the Palmer Landfill. Approximately
5400 wet tons/year are generated (1050 dry
tons/year).
Facility Upgrades: Presently the facility is in
the process of upgrading its' dewatering system
with a two meter belt press. As of Jan. 97 the
Town has secured a three year contract for
outside sludge disposal in cake form due to the
closing of the Town Landfill. Other projects
include developing solutions to combined sewer
overflows, upgrading the Industrial Pretreatment
Program, and the installation of VFD's on the
plant water pump.
