WASTEWATER
TREATMENT
PROCESS
SCREENING &
GRIT CHAMBER
Wastewater is
screened to remove
trash, sand and grit.
BIOLOGICAL NUTRIENT
REMOVAL (BNR)
Micro-organisms consume
organics and remove nutrients
such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
A portion of the biosolids from
the Clarifier are recycled back to
the beginning of the BNR process
to help continue the work of
consuming organics.
BIOSOLIDS DRYER
Biosolids are processed in the
Town's drying facility which
removes water and creates fertilizer
known as Enviro Gems.
CLARIFIER
Micro-organisms and small particles,
called biosolids, separate from the
water, making the treated water
clear. As biosolids accumulate over
time, some is removed and sent to
the biosolids dryer.
