The Western Riverside Water Pollution Control Facility processes approximately 10.5 (of its permitted 14) mgd of municipal and industrial wastewater. In 2018 the facility was upgraded to the current capacity and enhancing its treatment level to allow for water reuse, meeting Title 22 requirements. With the upgrade they switched from aerobic to an anerobic digestion process. They faced multiple challenges:
- No existing thickening capabilities
- Digester space due to low feed solids
- Higher operating costs
- The need for additional digesters
The HUBER S-Disc2 disc thickener is a high-performance thickening system designed for low energy consumption and maximum solids capture. Key advantages of this solution included:
- Compact design — a smaller building could be utilized.
- Fully enclosed and odor-free operation — improved working conditions for plant staff.
- Automated and continuous operation — reduced manual intervention and increased efficiency, allowing unattended operation over a 24-hour period.
