Case Study

Town of Hardwick Wastewater Treatment, VT

EFI fabricated and installed a permeable cover and floating baffle at the Town of Hardwick's wastewater treatment plant in fall 2007. The upgrade created an anaerobic treatment cell within an existing aerated pond.

Historical scope checked against EFI's original Hardwick VT case history. The record describes the 2007 installation in Hardwick, VT and does not establish present operating performance.

The Challenge

Problem

The town was upgrading its municipal treatment plant to address lower BOD and phosphorus discharge limits. The design called for a covered anaerobic cell inside an existing aerated pond.

Our Approach

Solution

EFI installed approximately 21,000 square feet of 50 mm 3R-Foam permeable cover, a 30 mil HDPE slope skirt and a 245 by 10 foot floating diversion baffle made from Seaman 8130 XR-5. Forcier Aldrich & Associates was the project engineer. The case history records fabrication and installation of the cover and baffle as EFI's work, started and completed in fall 2007.
