Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWTP) System Description: ANAD is a major rework and repair facility performing maintenance on the heavy and light combat vehicles. The Depot also performs maintenance on land combat missiles and small arms. The maintenance operations result in the production of various industrial wastes. Industrial wastewater is generated from a variety of metal finishing and electro-plating processes, and preparatory cleaning of disassembled components. This includes the steam cleaning of engines, transmissions, and other pieces of equipment. A new 600 KGD IWTP (industrial wastewater treatment plant) is serving ANAD from 25 March 2001 replacing the former IWTP. The influent to the IWTP consists of four streams, listed below with average daily flows. • chrome wastewater - 3620,000 gpd (gallons per day) average with a minimum of 0 gpd and a maximum of 150,000 gpd (identify average, min, and max quantities) • cyanide wastewater - 10,000 gpd (identify average, min, and max quantities)not a current waste stream, but could be at an average rate of 10,000 gpd in the future • general wastewater - 30075,000 gpd (identify average, with a minimum of 75 gpm and a maximum of 310 gpm min, and max quantities) • steam cleaning wastewater - 75,000 gpd average, with a minimum of 75 gpm and a maximum of 310 gpm300,000 gpd (identify average, min, and max quantities) The general wastewater comes from the general wastewater lagoons at the former IWTP, industrial area gravity sewers and force mains, chrome reaction tank, and cyanide holding tank. The chrome and cyanide waste streams are treated in independent processes and then pumped to the general wastewater equalization tank. The steam cleaning wastewater comes from steam cleaning wastewater lagoons at the former IWTP and industrial area steam cleaning wastewater gravity sewers and force mains. The chrome wastewater comes from the chrome wastewater gravity sewers and force mains. The cyanide wastewater comes from four collection sumps. The chrome and cyanide waste streams are treated to remove the hexavalent chromium and the cyanide respectively before being combined in the general wastewater equalization tank. The hexavalent chromium is reduced to trivalent chromium while the cyanide molecule is destroyed and converted to carbon dioxide and water. The general wastewater has concentrations of trace metals, trivalent chrome, solids, and soluble organic matter. The steam cleaning wastewater has concentrations of trace metals, oil & grease, and solids. The metals of concern are: cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and silver. The different influent sources are treated in two different process trains until the neutralization tanks where the two flows are combined before entering the neutralization tanks. The combined flow, which is designated common wastewater, is treated for biological uptake in the trickling filter. The general wastewater and steam cleaning wastewater flows are segregated as the solids generated from each stream have different disposal requirements. The general wastewater dewatered solids are a hazardous waste while the steam cleaning wastewater dewatered solids are non-hazardous. The IWTP processes consist of equalization, precipitation, gravity settling, solids dewatering, neutralization, filtration, biological oxidation (BOD), and pH adjustment. Equalization is performed in two concrete tanks equipped with mechanical mixers. The precipitation is performed utilizing ferric chloride, lime, and a polymer. The gravity settling is performed in an inclined plate clarifier. The solids dewatering is performed in two plate and frame presses. The pH neutralization is performed using sulfuric acid and lime. The filtration is performed in four multimedia pressure filters. The biological oxidation of BOD is performed by a trickling filter and clarifier. The IWTP is controlled through a PCS (process control system). The IWTP is designed to operate without direct operator supervision. The PCS combines a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Human Machine Interface (HMI), Operator Interface Terminals (OIT), and Local-Off-Remote (L-O-R) switches to control and monitor equipment utilized at the IWTP. The PCS mechanically and electrically controls the movement of wastewater through the treatment plant and the injection of chemicals. The PCS does not optimize the treatment processes. The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is the brain of the IWTP. The PLC receives information from multiple devices in the field (pH meters, flow meters, turbidity meters, level sensors) which when combined with internal logic allows the PLC to make decisions on when equipment should be started and stopped. In addition, the PLC determines when alarms should be activated and whether the alarm is an equipment failure or a treatment process problem. The effluent from the IWTPPT is pumped to the mixing chamber at the STP, DSN001, and finally discharged by the STP to the common discharge point on seven miles away at Choccolocco Creek. The mixing chamber and the discharge pipe to Choccolocco Creek are not part of the IWTPPT system. ** Installation Description: Nested in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in northeast Alabama, Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) occupies over 25 square miles of land, encompassing more than 15,246 acres of woodland and 10 acres of lakes and streams. Possibly the nation's most diversified defense resources - ANAD offers scenic splendor as well as unlimited natural resources. From its origin in 1942 as a storage depot, ANAD has transformed into a state-of-the-market maintenance facility, earning its highly-esteemed reputation as "The Tank Rebuild Center of the World." ANAD is the designated Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) for combat vehicles (tracked and wheeled), artillery (self propelled and towed), bridging systems, and small caliber weapons (individual and crew served). ANAD performs depot level maintenance on vehicles ranging in size from the Stryker to the 70 ton M1 Abrams Tank and a variety of other types in between, like the M113 Family of Vehicles, the M88 Recovery Vehicle, and the M9 Armored Combat Engineering vehicle. Major components of each vehicle are also overhauled and returned to stock. ANAD personnel are deployed around the world in direct support of our nation's war fighters providing fielding services and repairs in the field. Combat and battle damage repairs are currently being accomplished both at home and abroad. Under partnership agreements, a wide range of vehicle conversions, upgrades, and new vehicle manufacturing are currently underway. Additionally, worldwide distribution of stocks and the maintenance and storage of conventional ammunition and missiles, as well as the storage of seven percent of the Nation's chemical munitions stockpile (until the stockpile is demilitarized) are significant parts of the depot's overall missions and capabilities. The Department of Defense's only missile recycling center is located at Anniston.
