Automating Stanley Consultants conceptual design process for a 1 MGD WRRF
Working with the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), Stanley Consultants was able to compress the timeframe to run three separate process calculations from 5 days to 1 day, thereby saving the client money and completing the project on time.
Problem
• The Pinewood Sanitary District (PSD) suffers from high volumes of Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) at their 1MGD wastewater resource recovery facility. Additionally, there were concerns about the performance of their Influent Screens and Aerobic Digester.
• The intermittent I&I issues caused periodic violations of the facilities existing NPDES Permit
Stanley Consultants ran TDG
• Working with the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), Stanley Consultants was able to automatically ascertain the appropriate sizing requirements for a new Flow Equalization Basin and an expansion to the existing Aerobic Digester.
• Additionally, Stanley Consultants was able to confirm that other treatment process units were adequately designed and sized.
Key Wins
• Using TDG compressed the timeframe to run three separate process calculations from 5 days to 1 day, thereby saving the client money and completing the project on time.
• The TDG outputs supported Stanley Consultants rigorous standards for high quality engineering documentation and yielded a branded and formatted professional design package.
“The Transcend Team has been a pleasure to work with throughout the life of this project. I see several more opportunities to utilize this software to meet the needs of our important clients and continue to complete projects within our promised timeframes and within the budgets that our clients have to work with.”
