A series of high-flow simulations conducted last winter by the Prince William County (Virginia) Service Authority will help the utility identify near- and long-term infrastructure needs at its wastewater treatment plant.
The H.L. Mooney Advanced Water Reclamation Facility in Woodbridge receives wastewater from two remote pumping stations that converge at the plant headworks. There, influent enters two preaeration chambers before going through pretreatment, where flow can be split between two automatic screens and one manual bar screen.
After screening, the flow is conveyed through the grit channels and then into one of three equalization basins. Flow is then gravity fed from
