  Innovation in Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants Presentations

Common goals of water resource professionals include increasing efficiencies in engineering processes while minimizing environmental consequences, preserving public capital investment, and enhancing the level of service of costly but necessary water infrastructure. This category features projects that demonstrate the innovative use of technology to plan, design, manage, model, and construct water and wastewater treatment plants.

   

Ak-Chin Indian Community Water Reclamation Facility

Presenter: Dave Sobeck, Partner
Wednesday, October 20, 10:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
Carollo Engineers
Maricopa, Arizona, United States

The $31 million Maricopa, Ariz., capital improvements program was initiated to provide water and wastewater system capacity for future development. It consists of a new water reclamation facility and drinking water treatment facility, and miles of water, wastewater, and reclaimed water pipelines. The new facility includes a membrane bioreactor and UV disinfection process housed in state-of-the-art buildings, all of which may be quickly and easily expanded in the future with only minor modifications.

 

Brighton and Hove Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant

MWH Global, Inc.
Brighton, United Kingdom

This $300 million project provided interceptor sewers and three lift-pumping stations in Brighton, United Kingdom. MWH had overall conceptual responsibility for the treatment works and pumping stations, and marine outfall. MWH provided overall design coordination as well as detailed design of the civil, architectural, and reinforced concrete at the treatment works and the pumping sewerage systems’ station superstructures.

 

Denver Metro Wastewater Reclamation District

Presenter: John Fraser, P.E., Partner
Wednesday, October 20, 11:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Carollo Engineers
Denver, Colorado, United States

The Metro Wastewater Reclamation District in Denver, Colo., serves approximately 1.5 million people and operates the Robert W. Hite Treatment Facility, which includes two complexes for sludge removal. Metro selected Carollo Engineers to provide $17 million of design services for expansion of its South Secondary Improvements Project. The goal was to create capacity to handle flows of over 200 million gallons of wastewater per day and meet more stringent future discharge criteria.
