Description:
|
|
The DuPont
Waynesboro plant manufactures BCF Nylon and Lycra®.
(Permasep® was phased out in May of 2001, but may
restart in the future.) These processes generate a
wastewater stream that requires treatment prior to
discharge to the South River. The primary waste
constituents from these processes are
hexamethlyenediamine (HMD) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc).
The purpose of operating the Wastewater Treatment
system is to maintain conditions for optimum
biological treatment performance. This is done by
monitoring key parameters of system health including
temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration,
carbon and nitrogen loading and removal, hydraulic
loading, effluent quality, solids retention time (SRT),
and responding properly to any out-of-limits
conditions. The Wastewater Treatment plant (WWTP)
and pump system is a two stage,
nitrifying/denitrifying activated sludge system with
extended aeration. The system can be divided into
four general categories: · Equalization · Anoxic
treatment · Aeration · Spill Diversion/Retention All
discharges from the site are managed to meet the
requirements of VPDES permit number VA0001260.
