City of Jerome
​Water Reclamation Facility  |  Kubota MBR

The Jerome wastewater treatment plant was exceeding its 2.0 MGD flow and 10,000 lbs/day BOD design capacity. With significant industrial growth, the City sought to expand treatment capacity. Facility planning assessed needs, established design criteria, and selected the best expansion alternative. The upgrade converted the plant from extended aeration to a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system. Improvements allow expansion to 5.0 MGD and 25,000 lbs/day BOD (~600 mg/L) using existing facilities and added membrane tanks. The upgrade included biological and chemical phosphorus removal to meet the 205 lbs/day effluent limit. Most influent comes from three major dairies. A second bio-tower was also constructed to treat the organic load.
