[Warning - do not view before eating]
While in Dimitrovgrad for a meeting with the Deputy Mayor and his staff, they offered to give me a tour of their wastewater treatment plant. Who could say no to that?
This plant was built in 2010 and they are very proud of it. As they should be, it's as state of the art as any new plant in the U.S. and has tertiary treatment.
Initial screens - the output
There were three sizes of screen - the above two removed larger things, and below smaller
Fats, oils and grease skimmers
Aeration basins
The treatment plant's next door neighbor - a fertilizer manufacturing plant
Discharge before sedimentation basins
Sedimentation basins
Sludge digester, they use the released methane to power the treatment plant
Pumps for the sludge digestor
Belt filter press for sludge dewatering
They currently landfill their sludge
