Bali Sewage Treatment Plant Introduction

Construction of the Bali Sewage Treatment Plant was established by the former Pro-vincial Office of Housing and Urban Development (in 3 phases) based on the Provin-cial “Taipei Suburb Sewerage Systems Planning Report of June 1984.” Phase-1 con-struction started in 1987 and concluded in 1994; the Plant was inaugurated in June 1997 for user connection.

The Operation Management of Bali Sewage Treatment Plant was implemented based on the 1991.11.5 decision made by The Executive Yuan’s Public Construction Supervision Task Force: “Sewerage Systems in the Tamsui River System will be en-trusted to a dedicated management unit established by Taipei City Government; that in the provincial portion will be entrusted to Taipei City Government.” From June 1997 until now, the Sewerage Systems Office of the Public Works Department of Taipei City Government has the custody of sewerage systems as entrusted by The Executive Yuan. The Sewage Treatment Capacity of the Phase 1 construction is 132CMD, which in-cludes sewage excesses from New Taipei City, Keelung City and Taipei City; the post-treatment sewage is dispersed to Taiwan Straits through a 6,660m ocean outfall pipeline.

Sewage Treatment Procedures

Sewage Treatment Procedures

  1. After sewage enters the treatment plant, it first passes through a mechanical bar screen to remove large solid objects. Then it goes through an aeration and sedimentation tank to settle out sand and gravel, before entering a primary sedimentation tank to remove suspended solids.
  2. Sewage after sedimentation, except for a small portion used for internal plant water in the recycled water system, flows to the effluent junction of the marine outfall unit. It undergoes emergency chlorination by a chlorine addition system and is then pumped into the deaeration tower. After dilution and diffusion through the marine outfall pipe, it is discharged into the outer Taiwan Strait.
  3. After settling in the primary sedimentation tank, suspended solids are removed. The sludge is pumped by a sludge pump to a sludge mixing tank, and after concentration in a gravity thickening unit, it is transported to an egg-shaped anaerobic digestion unit for digestion treatment, and finally sent to a sludge digestion storage tank.
  4. The sludge undergoes dewatering in a sludge dewatering unit. The dewatered sludge is then transported to a sludge drying unit, dried, and subsequently transported to a waste treatment plant for further processing.
