Kennebunk WWTF Nutrient Removal Project
Kennebunk, ME
Kennebunk Sewer District is responsible for meeting the sanitary sewer needs of Kennebunk Maine. The wastewater collection system is comprised of more than 40 miles of sewers and 28 pumping stations. Wastewater is received and treated at a 1.31 million gallon per day (mgd) secondary treatment facility before being discharged to the Mousam River.
Ellana provided cost estimating services for a nutrient removal improvement project at Kennebunk’s Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). Publicly owned facilities are required to implement processes that reduce the effluent nutrient concentrations in wastewater to safe levels. Nutrient removal in wastewater treatment helps WWTP comply with federally mandated limits specified within discharge permits.
