Wastewater Treatment

Our engineers have years of experience in both the design and daily operation of wastewater treatment facilities, so they are uniquely qualified to deliver pragmatic wastewater solutions that maximize both overall efficiency and ease of use for operators.

We have pioneered designs for new facilities and individual treatment process solutions for treatment plants ranging in size from 0.1 MGD to 4.0 MGD. When designing treatment works, we focus on operations with the goal of simplification and modernization. We look to those operating the facilities to understand the obstacles they routinely face and then work together to address them.

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS

We know from experience that the most valuable solutions are those that are comprehensive, where all the elements of a project have been considered as a unified whole rather than a collection of separate parts. This mindset produces holistic designs that are better integrated with clients’ visions and, when evaluated on a life cycle basis where life of assets as well as operations and maintenance has been considered, have lower total costs.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE

REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS

WWTP Capacity Analysis & Flow Study

The Town of Gardiner’s sewer system consists of approximately 200 Town-owned septic tanks, a collection system including two pump stations and a wastewater treatment plant. The sewer system has a SPDES Permit with an average monthly flow limitation of 57,000 gpd, and the Town has been struggling to comply with this allotted flow, preventing connections to new users. Our team was contracted to analyze and evaluate the Town’s sewer system for additional capacity for future development.

Copper & Zinc Investigative Study

Our team has been collaborating with the Village of Suffern to study the Village’s wastewater system to identify the users, industries or other sources whose processes or systems could potentially release metal contaminants. This study will involve a volumetric comparison and evaluation of users’ waste stream characteristics to determine each user’s potential contribution of metals.
