Summary:
The purpose of this project is to install two (2) emergency scrubbers to service the chlorination and de-chlorination facility at South Cross Bayou Water Reclamation Facility. The equipment will scrub the atmospheric air within the facilities in the event of a chemical leak. The existing scrubbers are being replaced as corrosion was identified during a recent maintenance inspection.
Background Information:
Initial work includes removal of the existing chlorination and de-chlorination facility emergency wet scrubbers and ancillary components. Once completed, the contractor will furnish and install new emergency dry chemical scrubbers along with new ancillary components.
As part of the plant optimization study, alternative technologies to the current gaseous chlorine system are being evaluated. Due to the size of the facility, bulk delivery of liquid hypochlorite is not a feasible option so onsite hypochlorite generation and other advanced disinfections systems will be evaluated.
Fiscal Impact:
Expenditure not to exceed: $569,600.00
Funding is derived from the Utilities Department Sewer Enterprise fund.
