Plant/Process Description:
The Pinole/Hercules Wastewater Treatment Plant is
located at the foot of Tennent Avenue in the City
of Pinole.
It was originally built in 1955
as a primary treatment facility. Since then, it
has had two major expansions and several
modifications in order to meet the needs of these
cities' growing populations.
In 1972 the
plant was upgraded from a primary to a secondary
treatment facility, with a 2 MGD (million gallons
per day) flow capacity. In 1985, the plant was
again upgraded to handle a flow of 4.06 MGD. The
plant serves a combined population of
approximately 40,000, with an average daily flow
of 3.5 million gallons.
The plant process
(activated sludge) removes approximately 97% of
the waste from the water. The water is then
disinfected with hypochlorite. Once the
disinfection process is complete, the hypochlorite
is then removed and the water is pumped into the
deep waters of San Pablo Bay.
All operators
are certified by the state, grade levels vary from
1 through 5. Some plant personnel also hold
certificates in maintenance and laboratory analysis.
