The Mechanical Treatment Plant
Proposal for Munster
Three Rotating Biological
Contactors (RBCs)
A Mechanical Treatment Plant,
employing three RBCs, similar to those shown above,
were proposed for Munster. The combined "footprint" of the three enclosed RBC
units is less than
3500 square feet, which is comparable to the
footprint
of a larger-size, detached bungalow.

Phosphorus
Removal
 |
|
Phosphorus removal to 0.03 mg. / L is achieved by
two Dynasand
filtraton units, similar to the three
pictured to the left,
(but, enclosed within a building).
This high degree of Phosphorus removal is a
requirement, of the Ministry of Environment, for
discharge to a "Policy 2" watercourse (i.e.:
the Jock River).
The Dynasand
process, in a Stamford, NY, study,
done in 1997, was able to achieve
0.013 mg./L.,
(three
times better than the above requirement). |

DYNASAND
Final
Disinfection, prior to discharge
| |
 |
|
Effluent from a Mechanical Treatment Plant, in Munster,
would be "tap-water
clear", and disinfected
with UV Light
prior to its safe, and beneficial, discharge to
the environment.
The
City of Ottawa still uses Chlorine, to disinfect its
wastewater
effluent discharge into the Ottawa River. Health
and
environmental considerations dictate it should follow the
lead of
Cities like Calgary, and eliminate this practice.
(See
the Sierra Legal Defence Fund:
City of Ottawa Report Card).
