Manual Monitoring to a Modern Centralized Data Platform


The Village wastewater treatment plant was built in 1983 with a design flow capacity of 1.8 MGD. For the most part, the plant runs well, however during heavy rain events, flows can increase from the average 1.2 MGD daily flow to 5.6 MGD in less than 30 minutes causing inflow/infiltration issues. The secondary treatment process is comprised of 16 rotating biological contactors (RBC), 2-stage anaerobic digestion, mechanical screw press dewatering and biosolids compost production. Nitrification takes place on the last 10 RBCs, and polyaluminum chloride is utilized for total phosphate reduction to less than 1 mg/L. While industry accounts for about 10% of the plant’s flow, periodic dumping can cause overloading that upsets conditions resulting in the need for an increase in phosphorus removal.
