Description
Built by Wharton-Smith, the general contractor, the new Hollywood wastewater treatment plant is a 3-million gallon per day (MGD) facility comprising a 4,000 ft2 operations building (with SCADA room, laboratory, offices, restrooms, garage, and electrical systems), and a 40’ tall headworks structure with rotary bar screens, grit removal equipment, and odor control system. The heart of the treatment facility is a 4-basin sequencing batch reactor (SBR) tank with each basin capable of 750,000 gallons of treatment capacity. After the SBR decant is complete, the water travels to an effluent pump station with 5 submersible pumps. These pumps send the effluent water to a depth of 40’ deep underneath the FL Turnpike to an injection well pump station (IWPS) with five additional horizontal pumps. The IWPS pumps water into two deep injection wells.
Products Used
PENETRON ADMIX SB-treated concrete is impermeable, preventing water, effluent, and chemicals from entering the concrete, even under the constant exposure to the hydrostatic pressure encountered in a wastewater treatment plant. Its ability to permanently self-heal microcracks prevents any moisture and corrosion related damage from occurring over the service life of the concrete.
