Warm Springs Replaces RBC System With True Batch AquaSBR® Technology To Meet Effluent Requirements In Limited land Space

•Case Study: Warm Springs Replaces RBC System With True Batch AquaSBR® Technology To Meet Effluent Requirements In Limited land Space
Warm Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was incorporated in 1950 and utilized a RBC system with secondary clarification and chlorine disinfection to meet BOD and TSS treatment objectives. By 2004, the original treatment system could no longer meet the objectives due to the age of the plant so city officials had to consider an upgrade. Because of land space constraints, options were limited. Since the AquaSBR® system is known for its small footprint, Warm Springs decided to research the technology further to determine if it could meet the plants needs for more stringent effluent. After careful consideration, it was chosen as the best option due to its cost-effectiveness and accomodation of limited land space.
In May 2005, the plant put its new dual basin AquaSBR® system with integral digester into operation (photo to left). Its average daily design flow is 0.4 MGD with a design peak flow of 1.0 MGD. Warm Springs also added Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.) monitoring and an Aqua Supervisory Control and Data Aquisition (SCADA) system to its treatment strategy to reduce energy consumption, operation time and labor.
