The Gаtоr Sоuth Wаter Reclаmatiоn Plant treats wastewater for a university campus and nearby research facilities. Its scale is similar to a UF-sized plant, with current practical design flows around 3 million gallons per day (MGD). The plant uses five major treatment stages in sequence: Preliminary Treatment (screening and grit removal) Primary Clarification Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) / Aeration Secondary Clarification Tertiary Filtration and UV Disinfection Each stage consists of several parallel units. Wastewater must pass through all five stages, and the plant’s overall capacity is determined by the lowest-capacity stage. The current process and data are shown below. Stage Number of Parallel Units Capacity per Unit (MGD) Nominal Treatment Time Preliminary Treatment 2 1.70 0.5 hr Primary Clarification 2 1.55 2.0 hr BNR / Aeration Basins 4 0.70 6.0 hr Secondary Clarification 3 1.00 2.5 hr Tertiary Filtration + UV 2 1.80 1.0 hr City engineers expect average daily flow to increase to 4.0 MGD within 3–5 years. While they will have additional funds in the future, they want to begin expansion this year because of the necessary lead time on construction. Their budget this year is $8 million. By how much (in MGD) can the capacity of the plant be increased from its current state without exceeding their $8 million budget in this planning cycle. The plant can add units as follows: Added Unit Added Capacity Installed Cost (NPV) 1 Preliminary Treatment train +1.70 MGD $5.5 million 1 Primary Clarifier +1.55 MGD $2.6 million 1 BNR / Aeration Basin +0.70 MGD $2.5 million 1 Secondary Clarifier +1.00 MGD $2.5 million 1 Tertiary Filtration + UV train +1.80 MGD $3.7 million Assume: All added units are fully integrated and available for use. Wastewater must pass through all five stages. The process capacity equals the lowest stage capacity. Partial units cannot be purchased.
