With the exceptional leadership of Cimec and the expertise of Ing. A. Zörb, the Wald Solms Waste Water Treatment Plant exemplifies technical excellence, delivering efficient treatment processes and sustainable water management for the region. The municipality of Waldsolms operated two wastewater treatment plants in the districts of Brandoberndorf and Kröffelbach to clean the wastewater from the districts of Brandoberndorf, Griedelbach, Hasselborn, and Kröffelbach. However, these treatment plants were no longer sufficiently efficient. It was decided that as part of the expansion of the Brandoberndorf treatment plant, the Kröffelbach facility would be abandoned, and the wastewater from Kröffelbach would be pumped to Brandoberndorf through a DN 150 pressure pipeline for treatment. The Brandoberndorf treatment plant was expanded to ensure that the wastewater from the aforementioned districts would be properly treated according to legal regulations and discharged into the Solmsbach stream.

Initially designed for a population of 3,000, the Brandoberndorf treatment plant did not have adequate capacity for nitrification and denitrification processes.

Operational issues arose due to hydraulic dependencies between the inflows to the two different final clarification basins, as well as with controlling the return sludge flow. Buffering of turbid water during periodic sludge drainage was not possible, leading to significant ammonium loads being discharged into the Solmsbach stream. The design aimed to accommodate a population equivalent of 5,500 residents, including expected process water return loads. The wastewater from Kröffelbach is pumped to the Brandoberndorf treatment plant through a DN 125 pressure pipeline and a pumping station.

To achieve the goals, a reliable data basis (relief frequency, relief volume of existing relief structures, sewer network data, paved areas, etc.) was essential. In a subsequent inventory, these requirements were specified based on aerial photo evaluations, pollutant load calculations, and land use plans, and then examined for operational implementation.

Pollutant load simulation calculations for the catchment area revealed the need to create additional retention volume, as the prescribed limits for relief quantities and frequencies were not being met during activation. Accordingly, the wastewater volume for the planned combined sewer overflow (CSO) facility was reduced to 140 l/s according to SMUSI.

Due to the high proportion of extraneous water from the catchment area and depending on the inflow to the wastewater treatment plant of 220 l/s (with adherence to a specific total pollutant load in the final expansion of 220 kg/ha Ared), the project utilized a maximum possible buffer capacity of approximately 2,950 m³ at the treatment plant. This volume was optimized based on cost-effectiveness assessments.

The opportunity to utilize the existing basins (preliminary sedimentation, storm overflow, activated sludge, and preliminary sedimentation basins) was available.
