This is a case history of an industrial wastewater treatment system at a 200 MW coal-fired generating station built in the early 1920's. Wastewater treatment facilities were constructed in 1979 to treat low volume wastes, coal pile runoff, and ash handling wastes to comply with existing and proposed regulatory requirements. A new ash handling system was constructed simultaneously and included fly ash handling, bottom ash dewatering binds, and bottom ash recycling from the waste treatment system effluent. Collecting and combining various wastewater streams and clarifier sludge handling are discussed. The treatment systems include neutralization with lime slurry, polymer addition, and clarification. The treatment system has been operating in compliance with regulatory criteria since September 1980. 4 figures, 4 tables.
