BUSINESS FROM MANAGER
Change Order -Wastewater Treatment Plant
Dennis Carver, Wastewater Treatment Plant Engineer, explained the
change order.
Item No. 1-Fermenter Mechanical Changes
Changes to the mechanical equipment in the fermenter have been
requested by the engineer. These modifications are requested to
make changes in the operation of the fermenter based on recent
experience at the Penticton, B.C. wastewater treatment facility.
Difficulties were encountered with the development of.. a scum
layer. Also, the level control was found to be too complicated.
The changes are as follows:
1. Remove one submersible mixer and relocate the other two to
oppose each other.
2. Install one "Scum -Buster" pump to be located in the upper
areas of the fermenter. The pump's purpose is to break up
any scum layer forming on the water surface of the
fermenter.
3. Electrical changes include deleting the variable frequency
drive from the mixer and replacing with an across the line
starter for the pump. Both devices ar 10 horsepower.
4. Replace the modulating control valve on the discharge line of
the fermenter with a manually operated 8" telescoping valve.
Item No. 2-Raise the Bottom of the Filter Structure 40 Inches
1. The filter structure was designed for a deep -bed (80")
filter, but all other specifications were prepared for the
standard -bed (4011) filter. The additional depth .is not
required, and it has been determined by the Engineer that
leaving the additional depth for future filter bed has a
lesser value than the cost of constructing the additional
depth. This change order raises the filter floor and walls
by 40".
