Springdale’s wastewater treatment facility features an advanced system that employs biological nutrient removal and sand filtration for tertiary treatment before discharging effluent into Spring Creek.
Originally built on its current site in 1964, the facility underwent its most recent expansion in 2006, enhancing its capacity and efficiency to treat up to 24 million gallons of wastewater per day. Springdale Water Utilities (SWU) recognized that a critical portion of their treatment is the disposal of the materials (biosolids) the treatment plant removes from the wastewater. Without the ability to dispose of biosolids, SWU would run out of storage quickly, and operations would be adversely affected. The utility controls the thickening and hauling components of disposal but is dependent on the local landfill to accept the biosolids.
SWU needed to meet the following challenges:
- Reduce disposal costs
- Improve sludge handling
- Lower energy costs
- Be prepared for environmental regulations
HUBER Technology installed two HUBER BT 26, a high-performance drying system designed for low energy consumption and maximum solids capture.
