Hillsborough County has selected Vogel Bros. Building Co. for the construction of a new biosolids facility at the Nortwest Regional WRF. The project consisted of the construction of a new dewatering facility that consisted of the installation of four (4) new Fukoku Kogyo Company (FKC) screw presses; installation of two (2) new Florida Aquastore waste activated sludge storage tanks and diffuser systems; installation of three (3) new Aerzen blowers, silencers, process mechanical piping and appurtenances; installation of two (2) new Muffin Monster grinders; installation of pump station pumps, piping and appurtenances; installation of a new weigh-in-motion system and associated concrete road; installation of all new electric conduits, feeders, cabling and biosolids system associated instrumentation and controls. Process mechanical pipe tie-ins were meticulously scheduled during periods of low flow, and interconnection fittings were valved appropriately. This strategy enabled the facility to continue processing sludge seamlessly with the existing infrastructure while the construction of the new facility was underway.
