SWWTP Intensification Project

Construction work, in general, consists of providing all labor and materials necessary to install a Liquid Design Stream Intensification Process at the SWWTP per the contract documents; and other incidental work. The SWWTP is currently permitted as a 0.8 MGD wastewater treatment plant that serves the Town of Wickenburg’s population of approximately 7,695. The project goal is to improve and expand the liquid stream capacity of the existing SWWTP from 0.8 MGD to 1.2 MGD through an intensification technique that utilizes Mobile Organic Biofilm ^TM (MOB). The MOB process upgrade includes introducing media into the bioreactor, the addition of two (2) new center-fed drum screens to recover and maintain the media within the bioreactor, and two (2) new waste activated sludge (WAS) pumps, modification to the RAS lines inside the existing RAS pit, installation of three plug valves on RAS lines to improve the control of the RAS flow, and associated piping, electrical, and instrumentation improvements to support the capacity expansion.
