It’s often a practical solution for mobile home parks to have dedicated wastewater treatment facilities to help them handle the volume of wastewater produced by campers and residents, especially at busy times of the year. This was the case for the Lil Wolf Mobile Home Park in Lehigh County, PA, but unfortunately for the team there, their treatment facilities were outdated and in need of a serious makeover.
DESCCO was the successful bidder on this project, and came in for a full upgrade of the Lil Wolf wastewater treatment facilities, including a complete replacement of their treatment system for a new 55,000 gallon per day system with UV disinfection and tertiary treatment. The new system combined aerobic, anoxic, upflow clarification, and recirculating sand filter treatments, exceeding all permit parameters.
The team performed specified tank modifications, including sandblasting and painting the interior and exterior of the existing surge tank and removing the interior baffle wall. The facility’s existing pumps were also modified to tie into the new force main. Our team also added a new equalization tank with a 6 inch PVC overflow line to the existing tank, plus heat tracing where the lines were exposed.
Lil Wolf’s new treatment plant features a tertiary advanced filter process for third stage cleaning, allowing their facilities to meet higher standards of discharge limits. The team enclosed the new tertiary filter in a sturdy structure after it was set to protect it and increase its longevity.
The new plant at Lil Wolf Mobile Home Park is expected to operate properly and treat the site’s wastewater for the next 30 years!
