City's New Garbage and Sewage Disposal Plants , Declared Finest in U. S., Rushed to Completion

rTjTr] ITH latest designs in garbage reduction and sewage disposal, the two plants handling the city's waste and sewage are rapidly being rushed to completion at Sellers farm, southwest of the city. Although preliminary tests have been successfully made, complete operation will not be possible before spring. Sanitation engineers of international authority have pronounced the Indianapolis plant of perfect construction with distinct advantages over systems of other cities. German engineers have been unusually interested. When every thing has been finally installed, an investment of approximately $3,500,000 will have been made in th® two plants which include the garbage pit building, garbage reduction plant, power house, sewage power plant, dehyration building, activated-sludge plant and office. Huge Sewers Under Way In addition, the city is now building two gigantic interceptor sewers, the Irvington interceptor to the east and the Harding St. interceptor connecting the farm with the north side. With the new plant in operation, the present unsightly garbage plant will be torn down as part of the project to make the farm of 208 acres into a park. Winding driveways already are laid out. The new plants will eliminate all odors. Through efforts of E. W. McCullough, consulting engineer of the sanitary board, the new garbage plant will reduce the city's one hundred tons of garbage daily in less than half the time of the present process and convert it to tankage already of proven worth for stock feed. Only the dewatering process, in

which as much as 150 gallons of water are drained from the bottom of trailers carrying 7,500 pounds of garbage, remains common to old and nevr processes. McCullough's process will eliminate all hand labor, placing garbage on conveyors from the truck dumping until it is finally reduced to tankage through cooking. Magnetic treatment and screening will remove metallic objects, glass and other foreign materials. Variety in Garbage The average Indianapolis housewife throws everything into her garbage can for the city collectors. Kitchen utensils, needles, irons, pins, automobile tools, glass, even a diamond ring find their way into the garbage can. The present plant requires twen-ty-four hours to reduce green garbage in giant cookers of 4.5 tons capacity. After being raked out of the cookers by manual labor, it is sent through a drier of direct heat, often resulting in scorching and burning, and never fully reducing garbage. In the new plant the same process will be accomplished in ten hours by thirty two .Morrison sanitary reduction tanks in a system purely mechanical. Garbage will b’e cooked by steam pressure of eighty pounds from the city's i own plant for three hours, and j pressed for forty-five minutes. Drying then proceeds under i vacuum for four hours, and garbage is carried to the preparation house where fine glass and china are removed in the tankage process. So finely is this work done that less than .05 of a per cent glas sand China remain. Tankage Is Sold This passes Government tests for stock feeding, and the product will be put on the selling for S3O a ton. The tankage, in addition to having fattening value for stock, can be used as poultry feed. That part of the garbage reduction not passing as tankage, is used for fertilizer. Near the garbage plant are located the three buildings forming the sewage disposal plant which is equipped to easily handle the for-ty-live million gallons of sewage of the city every day. Preliminary tests have shown the system works perfectly. Treatment will be a combined system of partial clarification by fine screens and rapid settling, followed by an activated-sludge process. Aeration tanks, four in number, south of the sludge plant, form the second process. These tanks are fifteen feet wide, 120 feet long, and twelve feet deep. They are constructed with sloping sides and sewage will flow through at the rate of 2.5 feet per minute. The sewage will be in the tanks five hours, nad will travel a distance of seven miles < by rapid revolving. From the aeration tanks, the sewage will go to sludge settling tanks of cone shape design north Notice Workingmen!

I of the sludge plant.. Treatment by j air amounts to one cubic foot to each gallon of sewage. The dehyi dration plant further reduces the sewage, purified water being returned to White River, while solids are reduced and dried by proj cesses until they are of use for | fertilizer.
