Seeking Versatility And Simplicity In Troy, Alabama

Troy Alabama’s Wastewater Treatment Plant was faced with broken discs causing dropping dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in their oxidation ditch. The 3.5 mgd plant opened in 1979. In 1992-1993, a disc rotor system was installed. After 23 years of service, the discs started breaking. Dave Fiveash, Troy’s Plant Manager for the past 21 years, was driven to find a solution to keep the plant operating and meeting DO requirements.
