Plant/Process Description:
At the plant, treatment begins at the headworks
building where self-cleaning bar/filter screens
and a vortex grit chamber remove inorganic
solids. Solids are further removed by two 95-
foot-diameter primary clarifiers. Those solids
are then treated in anaerobic digester. The
waste water then flows to aeration basins where
air and microorganisms help purify the waste
water. The water flows through one of four final
clarifiers. The facility also has a phosphorous
removal system, and the waste water is
disinfected with ultraviolet light before it can
be discharged into the Wisconsin River.
Capacity After Upgrade
The treatment plant design is to be completed in
four phases with the first phase to be completed
in 2010 with a BOD loading rate of 21,190
lbs/day and with phase four being 79,000
lbs/day.
