New Wastewater Treatment Plant

Our Solution

Hayter Engineering was the prime consultant, design engineer, and project manager for the City of Emory, and assisted the City in obtaining a grant from the US Department of Agriculture Rural Development and the Texas Department of Rural Affairs for a new wastewater treatment plant to meet TCEQ requirements and capacity needs due to growth.

Improvements included: Sequencing Batch Reactor treatment unit with blowers, digester; package mechanical screen and grit channel; yard piping and junction box; splitter box; cascade outlet; Parshall flume; chlorine contact chamber; auxiliary generator and pad; electrical and control instrumentation; drain return lift station; sludge dewatering box, polymer feed & chlorine; abandonment of an aerated lagoon; and conversion of two stabilization lagoons to stormwater holding ponds.

This project was financed through USDA-Rural Development.
