Case Study
Ommegang Brewery, Cooperstown N.Y.
BACKGROUND Rick Debar, Technical Manager and Wastewater Treatment Plant Manager for the brewery, worked with Steve Buttles, Project Superintendent at Western Water/GW&E of Austin, Texas, to plan the project. The aeration tank holds 150,000 gallons, and the design was created with the goal of introducing a sufficient amount of oxygen to meet biological treatment needs of the process waste water when the brewery is operated at full capacity. “
