•Case Study: Wastewater Treatment - Glady Run And Ford Road, Wastewater Treatment Plants, Xenia, OH

By Dan Leavitt, Environmental-Technical Compliance Manager

In 2001, the City of Xenia, Ohio, budgeted funds in its capital program to upgrade the two wastewater treatment plants serving the city's population of 23,000. One plant, built in 1958, treated four million gallons daily; the other, built in 1970, processed 3.7 million gallons a day. The city was seeking an alternative to the plants' chlorine gas disinfection technology. Chlorine gas as a disinfection solution had unacceptable safety issues and created problems for the city in complying with environmental regulation.

Xenia chose the Aquaray 40 HO VLS because it best met the city's requirements for improved performance, low retrofit cost, and improved operating and maintenance costs. The Aquaray systems fit the plants' existing channels with some modification, eliminating the need to construct new channels. The units are vertical, rather than horizontal, an important consideration because space was an issue. They are also easy to maintain without pulling the entire system out of the water.
