In an effort to reduce the demand on the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Trenton, and to reduce operating costs, the City proposes the installation of a floating decant system (including a decant pump and controls) in the Trenton Water Treatment Plant’s (WTP) backwash waste tanks. This decant system will remove the clear water from the tank and discharge it to the nearby Trent River so that

Description
Description | In an effort to reduce the demand on the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Trenton, and to reduce operating costs, the City proposes the installation of a floating decant system (including a decant pump and controls) in the Trenton Water Treatment Plant’s (WTP) backwash waste tanks. This decant system will remove the clear water from the tank and discharge it to the nearby Trent River so that minimum waste is sent to the WWTP. Currently, approximately 6% of the total flow (approx. total flow is 12000 cu.m) to the WWTP is process water, generated from the Trenton WTP. The new decant system would, on average, result in a net reduction of flow to the plant of 400 cubic meters per day and optimization of the City’s asset. |
