operating Challenges

  • Low performance of anaerobic
    pretreatment lagoons
  • FOG accumulation in anaerobic lagoons
  • High Fat Oil Grease offsite disposal costs
    related to DAF operation
  • Odor issues
  • High energy costs related aerobic treatment
  • Nitrification denitrification issues
  • Aerobic sludge volume accumulation
  • High FOG/Sludge, dredging/disposal costs
  • Costly land application restrictions
  • Overall high plant operating costs
  • Overall plant overloading

Treatment Plan & Execution

SciCorp worked with plant operating staff and developed treatment approach using SciCorp technology to address operating challenges. SciCorp recommended the following: BIOLOGIC™ SR2 addition at:

  • Dredging frequency of sludge pond reduced by 75%
  • Wastewater plant organic load capacity increased by 50%

Process changes implemented by plant staff to optimize utilization of SciCorp technology resulted in:

  • FOG crust layer in pretreatment lagoons reduced 85%–95%
  • BOD/COD removal in pretreatment lagoons increased from 40% to 85%
  • Odors eliminated from anaerobic pretreatment lagoons
  • BOD load to aerobic treatment, decreased by 85%
  • Sludge accumulation in sludge pond eliminated
  • Dredging of crust in anaerobic pretreatment lagoons eliminated
  • Dredging frequency of sludge pond reduced by 75%
  • Aeration demand for aerobic system dropped by 50%–75%
  • Denitrification improved by 50% without adding carbon source
  • Wastewater plant organic load capacity increased by 50%
  • Operational cost savings using SciCorp technology showed 5:1 ratio (savings: costs)

Environmental/Carbon Footprint Impact Benefits

  • Odor complaints from nearby residents
  • Wastewater capacity overload and limitation of chicken processing rates
  • High aeration and sludge disposal costs
