Location
Redwood City, CA
This project included the replacement of two existing Gravity Thickeners with Rotary Drum Thickeners, the development of an odor reduction system, and the installation of a polymer blending system from WesTech (CleanFlo System). It also included the replacement of the site waste pumps that transport all the filtrate and materials from the Solids Handling Building back to the Primary Sedimentation Tanks. Careful planning was required to maneuver the large pieces of equipment through small openings in the roof and then lowering it to the basement floor for final placement. Close coordination with facility staff was required when connecting all equipment to the operating wastewater system.
