Plant/Process Description:
The SCWWTP was opened in March of 2006 and
directly serves the community of Swift Current,
Saskatchewan. The plant treats an average daily
flow of 5-6 ML of municipal wastewater.
It is
comprised of a headworks building for screening
and grit removal, two bioreactors, two secondary
clarifiers, and a dewatering building. The
SCWWTP uses a Modified Johannesburg process to
remove both Total Phosphorus and Nitrogen as
Ammonia. Saskatchewan Environment has set
strict limits on the effluent quality because of
the relatively small receiving stream which is
the Swift Current Creek.
The plant was
constructed over the course of 2 years and was
done so to replace the existing disposal method
of effluent irrigation. Disinfection at the
SCWWTP is carried out by ultra violet light
prior to discharge.
The SCWWTP was designed as a 'chemical' free
plant, although it does have equipment in place
for the addition of sodium hypochlorite, liquid
alum, and sodium acetate for the supplementation
of volitile acids. It was determined in the pre-
design stage that primary clarification was not
going to be a neccesity, so there are no
primary's or digesters on site.
Phosphorus
removal relies mainly on the naturally occurring
acids in the wastewater.
Dewatering takes place via centrifuge and
conveyor and is the one stage where chemicals
(polymer) are used on a daily basis. Disposal
of the dewatered sludge is simply by trucking
the dried material to the local landfill. Plans
are currently in the works to use the dried
sludge as a composted material to cover up the
soon-to-be out of service landfill.
