Discfilter Fixes TSS Effluent And Capacity Issues

The Oconomowoc, WI Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) needed to repair or replace the existing shallow bed traveling bridge sand filters. The sand filters had reached the end of their lifespan and needed significant maintenance improvements to continue to be viable. In addition, the facility needed to upgrade the filtration capacity from 9 million gallons per day to 12 million gallons per day in order to allow treatment of peak capacities. The City of Oconomowoc worked with engineering firm Ruekert/Mielke to evaluate various technologies to replace the existing filters.

Together with Ruekert/Mielke, the City determined that Veolia’s Hydrotech Discfilter system would be the ideal replacement for the existing filters. Read the full case study to learn more.
