2022 Sludge Production
Data

2022 SLUDGE PRODUCTION DATA

TWSA PLANT # 1 (3.5 mgd plant capacity)
NPDES # NC0039578
Sludge dewatered on belt press.................................................................4,210,831 gallons
total tons...............................................348.36 tons
total metric tons...............................................316.0 dry metric tons

The following residuals were included in the above totals.

TWSA PLANT # 2 (0.5 mgd plant capacity)
NPDES # NC0020214
Sludge Hauled to Plant # 1 digestor............................................................. 240,000 gallons
total tons.......................................................................... 20.40 tons
total metric tons...............................................................18.50 dry metric tons

TWSA PLANT # 3 (0.2 mgd plant capacity)
NPDES # NC0063321
Sludge Hauled to Plant # 1 digestor........................................................ 93,900 gallons
total tons.........................................................................11.48 dry tons
total metric tons..............................................................10.41 dry metric tons

Total Calculated Sludge Production, 2022= 348.36 dry tons, (316.0 metric tons). This number
was calculated from the volume in (gals) and the % total solids dewatered on the belt press.

An estimated total of 215.4 tons were distributed to the public in 2022.

It should be noted that all tonnage weights obtained during the year (with the exception of
landfilled weights) are either calculated from the analysis performed on process control samples
or are estimated on trucks after they are loaded. This leaves considerable room for error in
yearend totals.

Weight to volume testing in the TWSA Lab shows the material to have an approx.. wgt of 51
lbs/ft3. 69 dryer loads were needed to fill the completely empty silo. At 2450 ft3 this would
equal 129,540 lbs or 64.8 tons.

This would mean that each dryer load equals approx. 1.06 tons. The 266 dryer loads produced
during 2022 would equal 281.96 tons. 281.96 X an avg % solids of 96.1 = 271 dry tons
produced during 2022. There is an indeterminate amount of residuals still stored in the silo.

In summary the total calculated tons produced does not match the estimated tons distributed to
the public. I believe the estimated weights on the trucks to actually be more accurate because
some of these loads were weighed by the recipient.
