Problem: The South Valley Sewer District’s Jordan Basin Water Reclamation Facility in Riverton, Utah, needed to store and outload almost 400 cubic yards of dried biosolids from a new belt dryer. Local zoning height restrictions prevented a typical silo with truck drive-through loading.
Solution: Jim Myers & Sons designed twin 35-foot-tall silos with NFPA explosion mitigation and low discharge. An en masse conveyor collects and elevates the dry biosolids to a truck loadout station and distributes it via three retractable chutes and a dust-collection system.
Result: The facility has a safe, dust free, non-intrusive means to store dry biosolids and an outloading
