Wastewater Treatment Facility Modernization with Phosphorus Removal Feasibility Study
Village of Elburn, Illinois
Project consisted of planning and design for the modifications to the existing 1.266 MGD facility. Design included modifications to meet a 1.0mg/L total phosphorus effluent standard. Process treatment components also included retrofitting the existing oxidation ditches for biological phosphorus removal, a new final settling tank with flow diversion structure, rehabilitation of existing final clarifiers, and a new chemical phosphorus removal system. Biosolids management system modifications included a new return activated sludge (RAS) and waste activated sludge (WAS) pumping system, and expansion of the existing aerobic digester system.
