BACKGROUND
Five Alfa Laval, Model ALDEC G3-125, dewatering centrifuges were installed and commissioned at Plant No. 2 for Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control, Project No. P2-92. Centrifuge bowl and scroll units provide dewatering of digested sludge to produce drier biosolids. The components in the centrifuges are subject to very high forces and the gritty biosolids subject the machinery to plugging (which causes unbalanced rotation), erosion, and wear. This process is of vital importance in maintaining regulatory permits at the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District).
RELEVANT STANDARDS
* Safe, beneficial reuse of Biosolids
* Maintain a proactive asset management program
* Comply with environmental permit requirements

PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order Service Contract to Alfa Laval, the OEM service provider, to perform the biennial PM service to five Alfa Laval, Model ALDEC G3-125, centrifuges.
