Geocache Description:

a quick stop near the new WATER TREATMENT PLANT at Dunbar

MIND THE BONUS NUMBER


The Dunbar Wastewater Treatment Plant is an Activated Vertical Loop Reactor. It was designed to treat a dry weather flow of 2,230,000 gallons per day with a wet weather capacity of 5,600,000 gallons of flow per day. The plant operation begins as the wastewater enters the plant at a self-cleaning bar screen with compactor combined with a grit chamber with grit washer to remove trash. The wastewater will enter three vertical loop reactor tanks, nine disc aerators, and three supplemental blowers to begin the cleaning process. The two clarifiers act as the settling area for separation of the water from solids. The water on the top of the clarifiers travels to the chlorination tanks for disinfections, then to the de-chlorination tanks before it is discharged into the Kanawha River. The solids are transferred into a sludge thickener before the final process in the aerobic digester. The sludge from the digester is transferred to the belt press, a post line stabilization facility, where additional liquids are removed. Finally, the remaining solids are transported to the landfill for disposal.
