Solids handling and disposal:
Sludge is removed daily from the sedimentation basins via clar-trac system. The sludge goes to clarifiers to settle out.
Depending upon the weather we pump sludge from the clarifiers every two weeks.This sludge is mix with Add -A -Floc
and pumped onto a vacuum dry bed. When the sludge is dry it is loaded into roll -off boxes and taken to the county
landfill.
If you need anymore information concerning this process, please let me know.
