Description:
To assist the Pine Bluff
Wastewater Utility in improving the three largest lift stations in
the Pine Bluff Wastewater Collection System, Crist Engineers planned
and designed new mechanically raked influent bar screens, screenings
transporters and screenings disposal systems for installation in the
Kansas Street, "Chicken House", and Bush Street Lift
Stations. The Kansas Street and Bush Street Lift Stations were
equipped with bar screens when constructed, but the screening
mechanisms had corroded from sewer gases to render them inoperable.
The "Chicken House" Lift Station had not been constructed
with a mechanically raked bar screen, but utilized a coarse, manually
raked screen, which required Wastewater Utility personnel to enter
the wetwell to remove accumulated screenings.
The improvements at each lift
station include a new multiple rake mechanically cleaned bar screen
constructed entirely of grade 316 stainless steel, discharging to a
sealed hopper which is evacuated by a shaftless spiral auger
transporter discharging into a polyethlyene bagging system. The bar
screen mechanism, hopper, transporter auger and bagging system are
all fully enclosed by stainless steel or lexan plastic panels, to
prevent release of screenings odors to the atmosphere, to reduce odor
levels in the vicinity of each lift station.
At the "Chicken
House" Lift Station, a new screen chamber was designed to be
constructed adjacent to the existing lift station. The new screen
chamber houses the new mechanically raked bar screen and a new
standby hand raked bar screen. The new screen chamber required
relocating existing 18" and 12" sewer mains, and a 10"
force main. |
