The plant consists of the following components: wet well, pump and control building, grit removal, aerated flow equalization tank, primary settling tanks and sludge pumping

equipment, aeration tanks, final settling tanks and sludge pumping equipment, chlorine contact tanks, primary aerobic digester and two holding tanks, vacuum assisted sludge drying beds, belt filter press, chlorine building and blower building. The pump and control building also houses the process control laboratory.

MAIN PUMPING, CONTROL BUILDING AND WET WELL

The sewage coming into the plant via a 42 inch pipe, is split, and flows through two Muffin Monster solids grinders and into the wet well. The 1, 781 ft3 wet well is located contiguous with the pump and control building.

AERATED GRIT TANK

The Waste Water is then pumped by two 6000 gpm, variable speed and one 1500 gpm constant speed, raw sewage pumps to the aerated grit removal tank through a 24 inch cast iron pipe. The aerated grit chamber was constructed in the 1964 upgrade. The grit chamber has dimensions of 20' 0" X 12' 0" X 10' 6" SWD with a capacity range of 4.8 mgd to 10.0 mgd. Flow passing into the treatment stream is recorded by a Doppler flow meter located on the 24 inch line leaving the grit tank.

PRIMARY SETTLING TANKS

The Waste Water then flows through a 24 inch cast iron pipe to the four primary settling tanks or during heavy flows beyond 4.8 mgd capacity of the plant, is diverted to the 100 ft diameter flow equalization tank until lower flows will allow the stored volume to be returned back to the wet
