00:01.040 --> 00:04.950
Okay . Hey , good

00:04.950 --> 00:07.061
morning Hunter . Friends and family .

00:07.061 --> 00:09.228
Welcome to another behind the scenes .

00:09.228 --> 00:11.283
Every small town has to take care of

00:11.283 --> 00:13.506
his waste and wastewater . So today I'm

00:13.506 --> 00:15.561
visiting with Mr Kerry down our lead

00:15.561 --> 00:17.617
wastewater specialist . Where are we

00:17.617 --> 00:19.450
standing in ? What we do ? We're

00:19.450 --> 00:21.450
standing in the treatment plant and

00:21.450 --> 00:23.561
what we do here is make sure that you

00:23.561 --> 00:25.561
can , which thanks so much . Yeah .

00:25.640 --> 00:28.250
Alright , let's see how well , Okay ,

00:28.250 --> 00:30.194
what we have set up here is called

00:30.194 --> 00:32.361
seven km . But what it also does is it

00:32.361 --> 00:34.750
gives you an overview of how the plants

00:34.750 --> 00:38.020
react . This is what uh lawsuits coming

00:38.020 --> 00:41.870
in . This is our primary where some of

00:41.870 --> 00:44.470
the stuff was taken out . This is our

00:44.480 --> 00:47.220
what we actually discharged from the R

00:47.220 --> 00:50.020
system . This right here represents the

00:50.020 --> 00:51.964
actual treatment process where the

00:51.964 --> 00:53.980
microorganisms need to work . They

00:53.980 --> 00:56.600
actually eat and break down things in

00:56.600 --> 00:59.590
the sewage to clean it up . So it turns

00:59.590 --> 01:01.646
into this test that I'm gonna run is

01:01.646 --> 01:04.180
gonna tell me what my inventory is or

01:04.180 --> 01:06.700
what my population of funds is in the

01:06.700 --> 01:10.390
system and in the system to break it

01:10.390 --> 01:12.670
down . You want all bugs in the system ,

01:12.670 --> 01:15.290
you want good , bad and the because

01:15.290 --> 01:17.401
it's just like our society , too much

01:17.401 --> 01:20.250
of one , it runs a certain way . Too

01:20.250 --> 01:22.361
much of another is a certain way . So

01:22.361 --> 01:24.860
you've got to have a balance and so at

01:24.860 --> 01:26.971
this time let's go ahead and head out

01:26.971 --> 01:28.916
and I can show you the actual plan

01:32.960 --> 01:35.950
here at the head works what we had , we

01:35.950 --> 01:38.370
have a bar spring and a Combinator and

01:38.370 --> 01:40.770
then we also have a automatic sample .

01:41.440 --> 01:44.470
The bar screen removes items

01:45.440 --> 01:48.090
are not needed or that could cause

01:48.090 --> 01:50.970
problems in every soldier's favorite

01:50.970 --> 01:52.637
cleaning items , which is the

01:52.637 --> 01:55.880
disposable disposable . It was great in

01:55.880 --> 01:57.713
the field , but when it comes to

01:57.840 --> 01:59.673
flushing them and sitting in the

01:59.673 --> 02:01.951
systems that are not designed for them ,

02:01.951 --> 02:05.140
we removed the larger items with the

02:05.140 --> 02:07.560
bar screen and the combination . And as

02:07.560 --> 02:08.600
it flows ,

02:08.800 --> 02:12.640
so all of the waste

02:12.640 --> 02:15.300
water from all the buildings on this

02:15.310 --> 02:18.970
post , right right through here And

02:18.980 --> 02:21.091
from this stage , we remove the large

02:21.091 --> 02:23.410
items on the and it goes into the grid

02:23.450 --> 02:25.940
where we take sand and grit out to the

02:26.080 --> 02:28.650
basin that equalizes the flow for the

02:28.660 --> 02:30.950
plant to our primaries where we're

02:30.950 --> 02:33.950
taking floatable sludge out and

02:34.440 --> 02:36.690
suitable sledge out . The best way to

02:36.700 --> 02:40.600
think about it is this is the

02:40.830 --> 02:44.790
way this is our food that's coming in

02:44.800 --> 02:47.660
for our bugs . And as it flows this

02:47.670 --> 02:51.260
way close into our

02:52.140 --> 02:55.070
uh aeration basins or as I like to call

02:55.070 --> 02:57.900
it my coffee pot . So what happens is

02:57.910 --> 02:59.910
it gets introduced to the food down

02:59.910 --> 03:02.077
there , It flows through here and then

03:02.077 --> 03:04.300
you see the bubbles and the ripples

03:04.310 --> 03:06.421
that's diffused there that's put into

03:06.421 --> 03:10.410
the system , The diffuse there is

03:10.410 --> 03:12.577
important because just like us , if we

03:12.577 --> 03:14.760
don't have oxygen , we're cranky and

03:14.770 --> 03:17.100
then they go to the secondary clarify

03:17.100 --> 03:20.950
there where they take a break . Um

03:21.640 --> 03:24.120
at that point the clear water comes up

03:24.130 --> 03:26.620
and is discharged out . We're at the

03:26.630 --> 03:29.350
Clearwater . We introduce it to Corinne

03:30.240 --> 03:33.610
Corey disinfects the water to where ?

03:33.620 --> 03:36.050
Now the water is safe to be released

03:36.440 --> 03:39.200
out to the savannah . With discharge

03:39.200 --> 03:42.720
permit is issued to us by state and

03:42.720 --> 03:44.887
federal government . So we get to make

03:44.887 --> 03:46.998
sure we have to make sure that we are

03:46.998 --> 03:49.380
meeting federal and state standards for

03:49.380 --> 03:51.760
treatment . That is correct . I really

03:51.760 --> 03:53.816
appreciate what you and your team do

03:53.816 --> 03:55.816
here , taking care of all the waste

03:55.816 --> 03:58.038
water for this mid sized city of Hunter

03:58.038 --> 04:00.149
Army Airfield and making sure that we

04:00.149 --> 04:02.260
and all of our savannah neighbors can

04:02.260 --> 04:05.370
fish and flushed safely . Have a great

04:05.380 --> 04:08.400
day and tune in next time for behind

04:08.400 --> 04:10.960
the scenes . No .
