Background:

The Lou Romano Water Reclamation Plant (LRWRP) treats the wastewater received from the sewers west of Pillette Rd. including South Windsor as well as LaSalle. The wastewater sludge, which is removed from the primary and secondary treatment process, is pumped to the dewatering process where it is further dried. Centrifugal dewatering is a high speed process that uses the force from rapid rotation of a cylindrical bowl to separate wastewater solids from liquid. Dewatering offers, among other advantages, biosolids volume reduction, saving money on storage and transportation and low fuel consumption requirements if the residuals are to be heat dried in further processing.
