Proctors Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Chemical Feed Upgrades. Chesterfield County, Virginia.

WRA designed a new chemical feed system for the addition of sodium bisulfate and sodium hypochlorite to the treatment stream at Chesterfield County’s 27 MGD wastewater treatment plant.

WRA conducted a study of the existing sodium hypochlorite and sodium bisulfite chemical feed systems, which identified flow pacing and chemical feed controls that led to an over-dosing of chemicals. WRA designed the improvements to the chemical feed systems including the replacement of both the chlorine and bisulfite storage buildings with a single building, chemical storage tanks, chemical feed systems, process flow meter and vault and chlorine residual meter. The new structure is a pre-engineered building with precast concrete walls set on top of a cast in place concrete foundation. The building is fully equipped with lights, safety equipment, heat and ventilation. New piping was installed from the new building to the nearby chemical injection points and all new equipment and controls were integrated into the existing Plant SCADA system.
