facility:
Sludge is generated by the pretreatment and sedimentation processes. The sludge for
pretreatment and sedimentation processes is automatically collected and discharged to a
sludge holding lagoon. The filter backwash is discharged to the sludge holding lagoon,
The combined sludge and backwash flows are gravity thickened. The thickened sludge is
then pumped to a sludge dewatering process. The dewatering process uses a centrifuge to
dewater the sludge. The overflow from the dewatering process is returned to the lagoon.
The lagoon is decanted using a floating decanter. The overflow is dechlorinated and
discharged to the South Fork Catawba River.
