Great Neck Water Pollution Control District, Great Neck Wastewater Treatment Plant
Great Neck, New York

This project involved the district’s expansion of the Great Neck Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant had a 3 MGD capacity with the project objective of 5.3MGD. Nova provided instrumentation & control (I&C) and construction inspection services.

New York City Department of Environmental Protection, Advanced Wastewater Treatment Program Assistance
New York, New York

NYCDEP underwent nitrogen removal upgrades at five of its wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), namely Wards Island, Bowery Bay, Tallman Island, Jamaica, and 26th Ward. The upgrades consisted of supplemental carbon storage and feed facilities, in addition to necessary distribution piping and feed controls at each plant. Supplemental carbon is necessary to maximize the WWTPs de-nitrification process. Currently, carbon is delivered to the WWTP aeration tanks via the primary effluent. The carbon is insufficient in meeting nitrogen limits. A sampling program has been established to better understand the diurnal variation of nitrogen and carbon in the influent streams, Nova participated in this sampling program. In addition, Nova supported the design services during construction portion of the project.
