Union Rome WWTP
The Union Rome project is a $23-million renovation to an existing plant, which was initially built in 1986. The plant is at full capacity handling an average flow of 1 MGD (million gallons per day) with a peak capacity of 2.9 MGD. The plant presently uses a common Activated Sludge treatment system, but the renovations will convert the plant to new technology using a submerged plate Membrane BioReactive system, simply called "MBR". In addition to the MBR system with sludge thickening capabilities, there is also a new headwork's structure with new automatic bar screens, grit removal, a septage receiving station and an odor control system all married together under one structure. There will also be various non-treatment upgrades throughout the plant including renovations to the administration building and the addition of a card reading diesel fuel station to service fleet vehicles and provide fuel for a new plant generator in the event of a power outage. These renovations will increase the capacity of the plant to a normal flow of 3 MGD with a peak capacity to handle 6 MGD.
