Penn State University is the process of replacing their existing conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment facility with a membrane bioreactor facility. Facility upgrades are required to improve operational reliability, replace aging infrastructure, improve treatment performance, and upgrade the process to meet PDEP Class A reclaimed water standards. This paper will provide a discussion of the challenges associated with constructing new treatment infrastructure within the footprint of an existing WWTP that must remain in service. Discussion topics will include the treatment alternatives evaluation, hydraulic constraints, the MBR procurement process, and design challenges associated with the new MBR facility.
