Upgrade South Bryan County 0.2 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant
This project consists of a new 1.0 MGD flat plate Ovivo Kubota MBR plant. A competitive bid of various flat plate and hollow fiber membrane manufacturers was completed to determine the select vendor for design. This facility is equipped with 0.5 MGD of membranes and is expandable to 1.0 MGD, with a buildout capacity of 4.0 MGD. This facility is currently designed to be a non-discharging facility. The existing 0.2 MGD aerated lagoon system includes two permitted LAS sites. The County will maintain these LAS sites, as well as identify other irrigation options such as golf course, recreation areas and green space.
The Bryan County MBR Plant design consists of an influent lift station, rotary drum fine screens, vortex grit removal system, aerobic basins, MBR basins, ultraviolet disinfection system, effluent pump station, septage receiving station, aerobic digestion with membrane thickening, belt filter press dewatering and solids handling facility, and drain lift station. Additional design features included SCADA, attached control room, chemical storage and feed system, and plant water system. This facility represents the most current state of the art design for membrane facilities, including the use of membranes for sludge thickening.
