City of Jerome
Water Reclamation Facility | Kubota MBR

The Jerome wastewater treatment plant was exceeding its design capacity of 2.0 MGD of flow and 10,000 lbs of BOD per day. The City was experiencing significant industrial growth and desired to expand their wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate the growth. Through facility planning, the city’s needs were assessed, design criteria established, and the best treatment alternative selected for expansion of this facility. The facility’s upgrade converted it from an extended aeration process to a membrane bioreactor (MBR) treatment system. The capital improvements allow the plant to be expanded to 5.0 MGD average daily flow with a BOD loading of 25,000 #/day or approximately 600 mg/l, by using the existing facilities and adding tanks for the membranes. The upgrade also provides for biological and chemical phosphorus removal to meet the plant’s current discharge is pushing the effluent phosphorus limit of 205 #/day. The vast majority of the plants influent comes from three major dairies in the area. In addition, a second bio-tower was constructed to treat the organic load.
