Sanitary Sewer Overflow Prevention Technology

The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans is seeking information from qualified vendors to pilot technology or biotechnology in the sanitary sewer system in New Orleans East. The goal is to prevent and reduce the number of sanitary sewer overflow events and to reduce odor at the sanitary sewer system facilities. Interested vendors are requested to submit a response that includes company overview, proposed solution, implementation and support, and cost estimates. Some examples of biotechnology or technology that may be considered include microbiological solutions, aeration solutions, inflow reduction devices, and blockage monitoring devices. • The project will cover New Orleans East, an area bounded by Lake Pontchartrain to the north, the Intracoastal Waterway to the south, and the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal to the west. • The designated area contains a portion of the SWBNO sanitary sewer system that includes five sewer lift stations, 30 sewer pump stations, and 5,659 sewer manholes. • Wastewater is pumped from New Orleans East to the East Bank Sewage Treatment Plant in the Lower Ninth Ward. • The scope of the project will include solutions that can be implemented systemwide or at specific locations such as sewer pump/lift stations and can include hardware, additives, and/or other technology.
