Wastewater Treatment Plant Review and Alternatives Analysis, Asbury Park, NJ
Client: CITY OF ASBURY PARK
The City of Asbury Park, New Jersey owns and operates a 4.4 million gallon per day wastewater treatment facility. The plant consists of 3 comminutors to grind screenings, two primary settling tanks, a bar screen ahead of rotating biological contactors (RBCs) with secondary clarifiers underneath, and sodium hypochlorite for disinfection prior to discharge. Solids collected in the primary settling tanks are degritted and blended with RBC tank solids and directed to the gravity thickener/digester for thickening. Thickened sludge is trucked to PVSC for further treatment. The plant has several large carbon scrubbers for odor control which are currently fouled and the media scheduled for replacement.
