Report
Summary
The purpose of this agreement is to ensure the Process Blower Fan Units at WSD facilities provide appropriate air flow to the various aeration basins located at the 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plants. The aeration basins are used to treat wastewater through the conventional activated sludge process which allows wastewater to be distributed to the aeration basins through an influent channel. Atmospheric air is then drawn through each inlet filter/silenced and discharged from the Process Blower fans to a main process air header that transfers the compressed air to the aeration facilities. BVC Systems, LLC, Lone Star Blower, Inc. and Mauleco, Inc., will provide, but not limited to, parts, maintenance and repair services related to Process Blowers.
