Aeration tank #2 online; several tank and gate issues still need fixes

Rensselaer County Sewer District No. 1 · June 24, 2026

Summary

Staff reported aeration tank #2 is operational and the gravity belt thickener rehabilitation is complete, but issues remain with blended-tank coatings, a nonfunctional heat-exchanger recirculation unit, and slide gates in aeration tanks #3 and #4.

District staff told commissioners that aeration tank #2 has been brought online and is operational, and that the gravity belt thickener rehabilitation has been completed. Those items were presented as recent operational milestones.

Staff also reported several outstanding maintenance issues: the blended tank insulation/coating work has not been accepted and Ramboll recommended removing and respraying the coating; the blended tank heat-exchanger recirculation equipment is not functioning and Ramboll is working on a corrective proposal; and slide gates in aeration tanks #3 and #4 are not operating correctly, with Ramboll investigating and expected to propose repairs.
