RM Clayton Supplemental Blowers

complete / construction

The R.M. Clayton Water Reclamation Center (WRC) located in northwest Atlanta along the Chattahoochee River. Constructed in 1935, 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. Currently, the facility is operating two of the three Turblex Blowers used to supply the fine bubbler system (aeration system) associated with biological treatment. One blower went down in September 2013 and its repair was completed in 2015. Due to limited air supply, a capital project was initiated to repair the fine bubbler system. The scope of the project includes: Supplying and installing four new Turblex blower system packages Repairing the fine bubbler system Justification: Improves facility efficiency and reliability Restores aeration to full capacity Facilitates regulatory compliance
