Siemens’ disc filters to increase flow capacity at wastewater treatment plant in Ohio

The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (Ohio, USA) will be installing four Forty-X disc filters from Siemens Water Technologies at its Sycamore Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Part of a wastewater treatment improvement project, the filters will allow the plant to increase design flow capacity from 6 to 9 mgd (22,712 to 34,069 m3/d), with a peak flow capacity of 18 mgd (68,137 m3/d). The project also changes the plant’s process from conventional activated sludge treatment to advanced biological phosphorus removal.
