Towns of Wayland and Sudbury, Massachusetts – Septage Treatment Design

Process design of a .05 mgd septage treatment facility utilizing the rotating biological contactor process. This process represented the first application of its kind in the country.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Municipal Environmental Research Laboratory, Cincinnati, Ohio – Wastewater Treatment Analysis

Investigation and analysis of the treatment, power and equipment performance of rotating biological contactors operating in the United States and the development of recommendations relative to their design and projected performance.

Wright, Lindsey and Jennings, Law Firm – Municipal Wastewater Treatment Expert Testimony and Design

Design of 12.0 mgd wastewater treatment plant for the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, including rotating biological contactors, high rate trickling filters, clarifiers, and pump stations as part of expert testimony presentation.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, Ohio – Wastewater Treatment Analysis

Investigation of parameters affecting the peaking of wastewater flow in various collection systems around the country; included definition and evaluation of the magnitude of peaking factors in typical wastewater treatment systems.

State of California Water Pollution Control Board, Sacramento, California – Wastewater Seminar

Presentation of seminar with respect to process control, design, operation, maintenance, and power requirements of Rotating Biological Contactor Systems.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – Treatment of Hazardous Waste Leachate

Chesner Engineering, P.C. was the recipient of a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to study the potential for treating wastewaters from hazardous waste landfills using selected microorganisms (i.e., primarily fungi and molds). The evaluation included the collection of leachate from selected hazardous waste treatment sites, and the design and operation of a bench scale pilot treatment system using selected microbes.

Erie and Niagara Counties Regional Planning Board, New York State – Wastewater Analysis

Review of municipal and industrial wastewater disposal practices in Erie and Niagara Counties in Western New York. The study included consideration of wastewater disposal costs for municipalities and industries and projections of alternative methods of disposal, including joint municipal and industrial facilities, to reduce costs.

AVCO Lycoming, Stratford, Connecticut – Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Preparation of feasibility study and design for plating process wastewater treatment, solids disposal, and water reuse in AVCO’s Army engine plant. The wastewater treatment plant design included cyanide oxidation and chrome reduction, characterization of the sludge lagoon to permit secure disposal with leachate return, and water conservation in the plating process and reuse recommendations resulting in decreasing wastewater flow from 400,000 to 25,000 gallons per day.
