The next meeting of the Western Section of the Professional Wastewater Operators Committee will be held Thursday, July 26, 2018 and will be hosted by the Town of Dallas and the Dallas Wastewater Treatment Plant. This is an open meeting, and membership is not required to attend. Please share the agenda with others who may be interested.

The Town of Dallas Wastewater Treatment Plant consists of two 0.3 MGD process trains with discharge into a tributary of Long Creek. The treatment processes include:
• A manually cleaned bar rack
• A parshall flume for influent flow measurement
• A secondary manually cleaned bar rack
• Dual circular extended aeration basins with integral clarifiers, post aeration and sludge digesters
Treated effluent is chlorinated and then dechlorinated prior to discharge.

The technical presentation will discuss oxygen uptake rate measurement. Increasing discharge demands put higher pressure on process optimization and control of wastewater treatment plant performance. Oxygen uptake rate measurement can provide a great deal of information about plant performance, wastewater characteristics, degradability of special concentrated stream as well as parameters needed for mathematical models used to predict plant optimization. Robin Deal with Hubbard-Hall will present.
