Automating Aqua Consultants conceptual design process for a mid sized WWTP

Working with the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), Aqua Consultants was able to model individual process elements and entire process streams with a quick turnaround (days vs. months).

Background

Problem

The Pinewood Sanitary District (PSD) suffers from high volumes of Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) at their 1MGD wastewater resource recovery facility. Additionally, there were concerns about the performance of their Influent Screens and Aerobic Digester.
The intermittent I&I issues caused periodic violations of the facilities existing NPDES Permit

Solution

Stanley Consultants ran TDG

Working with the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), Stanley Consultants was able to automatically ascertain the appropriate sizing requirements for a new Flow Equalization Basin and an expansion to the existing Aerobic Digester.
Additionally, Stanley Consultants was able to confirm that other treatment process units were adequately designed and sized.

Results

Key Wins

Using TDG compressed the timeframe to run three separate process calculations from 5 days to 1 day, thereby saving the client money and completing the project on time.
The TDG outputs supported Stanley Consultants rigorous standards for high quality engineering documentation and yielded a branded and formatted professional design package.
“The Transcend Design Generator represents the future of capital planning and master planning efforts for WWRF’s. We’re looking forward to working more closely with the Transcend team on subsequent projects.”
