System provides town with flexibility for future capacity needs
Problem: Geraldine, Alabama, with a population of about 1,100 people, needed a wastewater treatment system that was easy to operate and could be expanded to accommodate future growth. The system would treat domestic waste to regulatory limits to allow for drip dispersal and handle flow fluctuations, and ensure the drip headworks wouldn’t clog and the dispersal field wouldn’t experience excess biomat development.
Solution: An ECOPOD advanced wastewater treatment system with a drip dispersal field from Delta Treatment Systems was selected for the 60,000 gpd system. The units treat incoming wastewater with an expected strength of approximately 300 mg/L incoming BOD/TSS
