Short case study of a Central Florida facility which was able to use debris data created by SediVision® technology create a more targeted wastewater structure cleaning budget by knowing the location of solids and the rate of accumulation in their tanks.

Problem:

A 1.5 MGD facility was preparing for their upcoming budget for restoring capacity in their oxidation ditch. The utility knew they had accumulated sand and grit because they had previously had a SediVision assessment done in 2022. They wanted an updated assessment so that they could budget to restore their capacity this year.

How Debris Data from SediVision Helped:

SediVision’s technology identified 1,073.1 cubic yards of debris and a loss of capacity of 15.8%. The debris in this basin increased by 18.6% over two years. The accumulation rate was attributed to the impactful hurricane activity in Florida from 2022-2024.

Outcome:

The utility is able to use this debris data to help guide and budget for their upcoming cleaning. The SediVision results justify that cleaning is necessary on this basin to regain its treatment capacity.
