May Awards Luncheon
Topic: OSIS Downtown Area Odor Control Facilities
(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)
We will present this year's awards for Outstanding Civil Engineer of Central Ohio and Outstanding Section Member of ASCE Central Ohio, and hear about the OSIS Downtown Odor Control Facility.
The OSIS Downtown Area Odor Control Facilities project was devised in 2007 in response to complaints of odors through the downtown riverfront corridor. Engineering analyses determined that the source of the odors was the Olentangy / Scioto Interceptor Sewer (OSIS), which traverses the downtown corridor. Further analysis determined that bio-filters would be the most cost effective method of treatment. While odor mitigation was the main focus of the project, the odor control facilities will also provide ventilation for the OSIS Augmentation and Relief Sewer (OARS), which is a deep tunnel that will convey overflows from combined sewers to the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The presentation will cover the goals of the project, the field investigations performed to determine the odor source and sewer ventilation requirements, the design of the biofilter system, an overview of the construction process and an update on the performance of the facilities since construction was completed.
