UV System, SCADA and Other Upgrades

Pipes bringing raw sewage from the headworks building and mixed liquor from the membrane building

Reactor basins process effluent

Catwalk over basins. Outer, moving section is biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and nitrate is in the still, center section where it mixes and goes to membrane filtration

SCADA systems allow for remote access and control over plant functions

Personnel monitoring equalization building 1

Excess moisture evaporates before sludge is transported to a landfill

Decant and sludge move between sludge pump building and sludge storage tank

Sludge storage tank holds the solids removed during the treatment process

Channels of UV light disinfect wastewater neutralize any bacteria in the effluent

UV light inactivates pathogens and viruses found in the final stage of treatment

UV treatment produces crystal clear effluent safe for discharge into the South Yuba River
