City of Atlantic Beach Waste Water Treatment Plant Facility #2 - Atlantic Beach, FL - Wastewater Treatment Facilities on Waymarking.com

The City of Atlantic Beach owns and operates two wastewater treatment plants. Waste water Plant #1 serves the area within the City limits and can treat up to 3 million gallons per day. Waste water Plant #2 (the subject of this waymark) serves the outside-city area and can treat up to 1.9 million gallons per day.

Physical and biological treatment is used to remove regulated contaminants from the wastewater, which is then disinfected and dechlorinated. The treated effluent is then pumped to the St. Johns River.

A polymer is first used to condition or thicken digested waste activated sludge to produce a clear supernatant. During this phase of sludge treatment, the polymer thickens a minimum of 150,000 gallons of sludge with a density of 15,000 mg/L to approximately 60,000 gallons of sludge with a density or thickness of 35,000 mg/L. No more than 18 gallons of raw polymer are used during this phase. The final phase of sludge disposal consists of treating the 60,000 gallons of 35,000 mg/L thickened sludge to a density of 120,000 mg/L at a weight of 60 wet tons. This final treated sludge is loaded into roll-on/roll-off containers by a front-end loader tractor for final disposal at the Trail Ridge Landfill.

Please post at least 2 original photographs of the site. We would much rather see photos of the plant itself as opposed to the front office, but we also understand that security and site layout may limit your opportunities.
