Water Treatment

Major Process Modifications Allow for Advanced Treatment Capacity

Problem

The Walker County Water and Sewerage Authority wanted to increase flow and treatment at the Chickamauga Water Plant from to 4.5 MGD to 12.0 MGD with capacity for additional 3.0 MGD expansion in the future. The plant modifications are based on a long-term flow projection and study conducted prior to initiating the design phase. To properly assess plant needs, existing structures were evaluated for design capacity and a hydraulic profile was created for the plant. After presenting the alternatives analysis of several treatment options and associated capital costs, Walker County selected pressure membrane filtration.

 

Solution

The plant improvements include chemical feed and storage facility improvements, instrumentation and filtration equipment upgrades, laboratory and personnel facility improvements, and support facility modifications and improvements.
