New Clarifiers Help Save History

by Keith Kelly, Project Engr.; Camp Dresser & McKee, New York City, NY,


Serial Information: Civil Engineering—ASCE, 1988, Vol. 58, Issue 10, Pg. 54-54


Document Type: Feature article

Abstract:

By using clarifiers to upgrade a waste treatment plant, Camp Dresser & McKee were able to utilize the available space so that an historic building existing within the plant could remain. A mathematical model was developed and then compared to the actual performances of 37 wastewater plants in Japan. Once parallel flow clarifiers were selected, Camp Dresser & McKee incorporated various methods to improve operations management and cut costs.
