Cold Spring Industrial Pretreatment Facility

Project Overview

To normalize the industrial flows to municipal quality, this pretreatment facility included tanks, odor control, flare, pumping, piping, mechanical, electrical, and chemical feed systems, site construction, and other related items, including installing a proprietary low rate anaerobic process followed by an aerobic/SBR reactor. All influent industrial flow is diverted through this new facility to reduce pH, sugars, and alkalinity. Once through the pretreatment facility, the industrial effluent continues through the existing plant for treatment. This project helps stabilize the plant chemistry.

This construction involved extensive coordination with the two programs and equipment designers to validate control logic. During start-up, plant effluent circulated to check the programming and debug the controls.
