Evoqua's SBR systems successfully treat wastewater in plants ranging from 0.01 to 60 MGD.Īs a batch process, the OMNIFLO SBR system accomplishes equalization, aeration, and clarification all in the relatively small footprint of a single reactor basin. These systems have helped municipalities and industries overcome wastewater challenges for over 35 years with over 700 installations and counting. Key to meeting the challenge was the compact, high-efficiency design of the OMNIFLO SBR system from Evoqua. High Effluent Quality In A Small Footprint The plant’s capacity is 2.5 MGD with an average daily flow of approximately 1.4 MGD, a 25 percent increase over the last five-year span, leaving plenty of room for the future. This meant wedging a third SBR tank and its control systems into a narrow strip of land at the end of the facility property. After consideration of both environmental and operational aspects discussed at a meeting of project stakeholders, the NJDEP favored locating the proposed SBR in a different location near the two existing SBRs. Past reports had identified one of the plant’s polishing lagoons as a potential site for the proposed third SBR tank. In addition, height was a concern due to potential interference with the flight paths of wetland birds, including bald eagles. With such tight buffer zones, space was at a premium. RVE provided design engineering services as well as material shop drawing reviews.Ī critical concern was the location of the proposed third SBR tank. LTMUA worked with the New Jersey DEP and Remington & Vernick Engineers of Cherry Hill, NJ to plan a 0.5 MGD expansion of the SBR process that would meet growth needs while preserving the quality of the surrounding wetlands. At the same time, the town was anticipating a significant increase in flow from nearby industrial parks, where new food processing and warehouse facilities would bring high treatment requirements. In 2015, the LTMUA plant was operating well within its existing 2.0 MGD capacity, provided by two contact stabilization tanks rated at 0.5 MGD each and a two-tank OMNIFLO® sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system from Evoqua rated at 0.5 MGD per tank. Wastewater treatment at the facility is from both Logan Township and nearby Woolwich Township. The Reclamation Facility is situated in the center of the town’s environmental reserve, surrounded by wetland buffers on all four sides.
