Wastewater System
Project Name: RM Clayton WRC Thickener Waste Activated Sludge Centrifuge
The RM Clayton Water Reclamation Center (WRC) is located on Bolton Road 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.
This project will provide a new Thickener Waste Activated Sludge (TWAS) centrifuge to provide back-up equipment for the dewatering process. This helps minimize build-up of biosolids in the system.
The scope of this project includes:
- Installing a new TWAS centrifuge
Justification:
- Improves the facility’s biosolids handling systems
- Provides an additional thickening facility for biosolids
- Improves the reliability and performance of the facility
