How to renovate a 50-year-old wastewater treating plant: Part 2
- Amoco Corp., Whiting, IN (United States)
Updating an existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to meet current federal regulations such as Benzene NESHAP is a challenge for design, construction and scheduling. In this case history, the project team developed and implemented equipment improvements and revised operating procedures for a refinery`s 50-year-old WWTP without interrupting operations. Because it was cost-prohibitive to force downtime or a slow down in refining production, Amoco`s design team had to cover the API sump with as little disruption to operations as possible. Sealing WWPT involved installing vapor-control methods. The project team used value-based engineering and creative thinking to ``seal`` the equalization and storm-surge tanks, DAF flocculation and flotation zones, etc. Modifications and results from these modifications are described.
