(click for details)
|
|
Status:
Partial design and construction of
treatment facilities underway. Eight locations altogether; some
treatment areas not yet designed; some requiring rehabilitation |
|
|
Scope of Study:
To decrease capital cost of secondary treatment and sludge treatment
and to increase income, determining best methods for effluent re-use,
aquifer re-charge and sludge to agriculture |
|
|
Workshop Output:
Optimization of treatment
process and units with cost savings of 13% ($26M) capital cost and 9
months construction, together with significant reduction in annual
operating costs. |
