abstract
The Robert W. Hite Wastewater Treatment Facility (RWHTF) services the metropolitan Denver area. It consists of two complexes, a North and a South. Currently, the North and South Complexes do not meet the discharge regulations individually. To meet permit limits, the two streams are blended together. The concentrations that do not meet effluent criteria are the nitrates and ammonia. The North Complex is currently being upgraded so that it reaches discharge requirements on its own. This project is to determine a reasonable secondary treatment method for the South Complex that includes nitrification and denitrification. To determine the best treatment method for the RWHTF, my senior design group (Adrienne Beckman, Andrew Herrera, Forrest Maclean, Guy Grant, Ji Liu, Nicholas Koch, Owen Mullinax, and Timothy Palik) has chosen three different nitrification/denitrification scenarios. We will design the activated sludge basins that can best meet the discharge permit regulations and look into upgrading the secondary clarifiers. We will look at cost, ease of operations and maintenance, ability to retrofit the new system into the old, and preliminary methods for construction implementation. note
