Project Name: RM Clayton Belt Filter Presses

The RM Clayton Water Reclamation Center (WRC) located in northwest Atlanta along the Chattahoochee River. The facility provides wastewater treatment for a service area that encompasses the City of Atlanta primarily north of I-20, a small portion of north Fulton County adjacent to Sandy Springs, and most of north DeKalb County. The facility is designed to treat an average daily maximum monthly flow of 122 million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater for discharge to the Chattahoochee River under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. 
 
Primary sludge and biological solids that are removed during the wastewater treatment process at RM Clayton WRC are reduced in the digestion process before being dewatered and incinerated or hauled to a landfill.  This project provides a belt filter press to dewater the biological solids and wastewater treatment sludge and thereby reduce the volume of sludge to be hauled offsite. 
 
The scope of this project includes: 

•   Procuring a mobile, trailer-mounted belt filter press system 

Justification: 

•   Provides emergency service when a centrifuge is out of service  
•   Enables facility usage during small corrections 
•   Provides redundant and reliable operating systems as required in the NPDES permit
