Can a modern wastewater treatment plant operate with a zero-carbon footprint? Dennis Palmer, executive director and chief engineer of the Landis Sewerage Authority (LSA) thinks it can.
LSA is located in Vineland — the largest city by square miles in New Jersey. The service area covers 80 square miles of which half of that is sewered for a population of 37,000. Currently, LSA has a 10.2 mgd permitted capacity and an actual flow of 5.5 mgd that processes wastewater (nitrification and denitrification with some phosphorus removal) and returns all that treated water back to the aquifer through infiltration basins and spray
