Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant

Fast-track design-build of a $23.5M industrial wastewater treatment plant with 1 million gallon per day peak capacity for the Anniston Army Depot. The project involved the construction of a fully redundant treatment train in a new location to replace outdated systems currently in use. The facility was constructed on a contaminated site with poor in situ soils, within an operating industrial complex. The project utilized a client-prescribed treatment metals precipitation and BOD/TSS treatment. The design includes process validation and optimization, equipment sizing, site master planning, and operational protocols to respond to influent shock loads. Operational testing, start-up and transition to the new plant must be performed without disruption of round-the-clock operations at this critical Department of Defense facility.
