Visibility in Dark Wastewater Case Study: Budget Strategically for over 70,000sqft
This mini-case study shows how innovative SediVision® technology enables visibility into dark wastewater, delivering reliable data and helping utilities managers and operators make informed infrastructure maintenance and cleaning decisions.
Location:
Pinellas County South Cross Bayou Advance Water Reclamation Facility (Florida)
Their Dark Wastewater Problem:
As part of the upgrade and replacement of an outdated grit removal system for the facility’s extensive network of tanks and aeration basins, the management team needed reliable data for strategic decision-making. This key information would help them develop a plan to align the remaining systems with the upgrade and allocate their budget accordingly.
How SediVision Helped:
SediVision’s “like an MRI for wastewater tanks®” technology scanned over 70,000 sq ft of tank and aeration basin surface area. The data documented 3,685 cubic yards of accumulated debris, which was causing a loss of 10.2% of the system’s overall capacity.
Outcome:
Potential project change orders were eliminated. The facility’s management team gained precise insight into which tanks needed to be cleaned first. They developed an accurate cleaning and maintenance budget to restore the lost system capacity. Energy cost savings from restoring the capacity helped offset the costs of cleaning.
