Wastewater Treatment Facility Expansion
|
|
The City of Beaumont has engaged AQUA Engineering (teamed with WEBB and Associates) to expand and upgrade the existing wastewater treatment plant from 4 MGD to 6 MGD. The project goals are to produce recycled water, reduce TDS in the plant effluent to comply with the local basin management plan, and to expand the treatment capacity.
This upgrade includes improvements to the existing headworks and UV disinfection process to allow for their continued use at the facility. New processes at the plant include grit removal, fine screening, process basins (anerobic, anoxic and aerobic to achieve BNR), process blowers, membrane bioreactor, reverse osmosis, solids holding, and dewatering. The project increases the current capacity to 6 MGD with the ability to expand to 8 MGD by adding one additional process basin and membranes to the existing membrane facility. This upgrade achieves TDS reduction in plant effluent to meet the discharge requirements while also producing recycled water to be used in the City. Our electrical, instrumentation, and controls (EI&C) group (SKM) provided the EI&C engineering for the project as well as system integration services. For controls, SKM created P&ID’s, control narratives, panel designs, and loop drawings to assist the installing contractor in providing a well-built control system. Our programming staff provided PLC and HMI programming with intuitive operator interface that is simple yet power to use. |
