April Branch Meeting: Design Overview of the SF Water Reclamation Facility Expansion
Abstract:
The City of Sioux Falls seeks to provide a minimum of 9.1 million gallons per day (MGD)
annual average day flow (AADF) of liquids and solids additional treatment capacity at the
existing WRF, complete with the required improvements, infrastructure, technology, and
environmental features to provide reliable, efficient, expanded plant performance to meet
the current effluent quality and operational needs, and to prepare the CITY to meet
anticipated future effluent quality and operational needs. The existing WRF was
constructed and brought online in the early 1980s, and in 1986 had a rated capacity of
13.4 MGD AADF. In 2009, the WRF was re-rated to a capacity of 21 MGD AADF. Over the
past 35 years, the CITY has constructed, maintained, and updated the Water Reclamation
Facility to continuously treat wastewater effectively and reliably. The SFWRF
Improvements and Expansion project will involve extensive coordination with assigned
City, Consultant, and CMAR personnel to plan, design, construct, start-up, and
commission the overall plant infrastructure requirements to expand the existing facility to
reliably treat a minimum of 30.1 MGD AADF for liquids and solids equivalent.
