Covered beds eliminate odor issuesProblem: The Northern Moraine Wastewater Reclamation District serves three Illinois communities, a total population of 12,000. The 1.1 mgd plant had stored treated and dried biosolids outside. “The material got wet every time it rained or snowed, causing odor concerns and raising handling costs,” says Todd Sheridan, operations supervisor. The facility needed covered storage space for the drying beds.Solution: Sheridan purchased two 65- by 70-foot Hercules Truss Arch Buildings from ClearSpan Fabric Structures.Result: Sheridan is pleased with the buildings: “They were assembled in less than a week. The light that comes through the covers is great.”
