Headworks replaces screens at Indianapolis wastewater treatment plant

The contract is worth close to US$1 million.

The Belmont AWT Plant , which serves more than 449 000 homes and businesses in the Indianapolis area, is over 100 years old. The system carries both sewage and storm water in the same pipe. When operating at full capacity, the Belmont AWT plant can treat 300 million gallons of wastewater per day (MGD) during primary treatment.

The five multiple rake bar screens will measure 21 ft in height and 8 ft in width with 3/8 inch bar spacing and will each be designed to withstand peak flows of 82.5 MGD.

Headworks has partnered with Thieneman Construction Inc to replace the five year old climber type screens currently operating at the plant.

Startup is expected by the end of August.
