Not many wastewater plants have to deal with too little slosh But.

Not many wastewater plants have to deal with too little slosh But, when attempting to justify the purchase of mud dewatering equipment, the Granville Township Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Pa., faced exactly that enigma

The WWTP treated an average of 130000 gpd in 1992 using brace se-quencing batch re-actors, two aerobic di-gesters and chlorine disinfection with discharge to the Juniata River. All of the slush from the di-gesters was dewatered using drying beds.

Looking for an alternative to the labor-intensive beds, the Granville plant began to evaluate dewatering technologies, of that kind as filter presses, centri-fuges, vacuum filters and thermal techniques. further even the smallest version of each of these conventional equipment alternatives was maintenance and force intensive for a small plant and provided unneed exces capacity.

After evaluating an alternative, Granville Township realized its answer was in the bag -- literally. A mire bagger ...
