Process Optimization and Capacity Evaluation at F. Wayne Hill WRC Client: Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources Location: Gwinnett County, GA In 2008, F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (FWHWRC), Gwinnett County’s 60 mgd advanced wastewater plant was operating below 50% of its design ow capacity. Inuent Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) concentration data had increased substantially over the past few years and primary clarier performance had declined, resulting in a concern that the ow capacity of the plant may be signicantly less than the original design annual average. Hazen and Sawyer conducted a comprehensive study to evaluate the capacity of FWHWRC. Through detailed sampling, process modeling and clarier CFD analysis, and optimization of pr
