Once sludge is removed, the new aeration equipment will be installed into lagoon cell two and a test run on the equipment will immediately follow before liquid is allowed to reenter that cell....
The new aeration blowers for both lagoon cells have been installed to the foundation in the blower building. Process piping for the new equipment will soon be installed for aeration on lagoon cell 2. Lagoon cell 2 is near the end of sludge removal. Further drying of this cell needs to occur before completion, but this winter weather will slightly slow that process down. RCS began welding the aeration lines that stretch across cell 2 to the new piping that has been installed underground on...
