N-Pumps And Multismart Pump Station Controls Reduce Costs And Improve Efficiency In Missouri

The Sni-A-Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) serves the nearby cities of Blue Springs and Grain Valley, MO. In 2013, the city of Blue Springs completed an expansion project to increase plant capacity and improve effluent discharge, allowing the Sni-A-Bar WWTP to meet more stringent environmental requirements mandated by the EPA and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR).

In addition to expanding the plant design average capacity from six to 10 million gallons per day (MGD), the improvements have increased design peak capacity from 18 to 36 MGD. Flows that exceed 36 MGD are stored and treated through the plant after the peak wet weather event.
