Description
Construction of the new wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) by KCI Construction consisted of an influent lift station, mechanical and manual screens, influent and effluent flow meters, selector basin, two treatment trains each with two aeration chambers, a clarifier, and a sludge holding basin. In addition, a chemical process to facilitate phosphorus removal and an ultraviolet light (UV) disinfection system were integrated.
Products Used
Once added to the mix during the batching phase, PENETRON ADMIX SB helped ensure the concrete structures of the Foristel wastewater treatment plant were impermeable to effluent and chemicals, even under the constant hydrostatic pressure encountered at the plant. The admixture’s added ability to permanently self-heal any future microcracks prevents any damage from occurring over the service life of the concrete.
