Waste Treatment Center

Author: Calen

v4.0.2

The Waste Treatment Center is designed to handle four types of waste: Waste, Waste Water, Toxic Slurry, and Biomass. The center can support a population of up to 8500. As this is one functioning unit, the blueprint is a combination of all four waste disposal systems and their respective ingress & egress transports.

This blueprint comes preconfigured with several alerts:

• When Sand/Filter Media storage is empty
• When Waste Water storage is full
• When Toxic Slurry storage is full
• When City Water Tank is empty

There are multiple manual upgrades you'll need to do as soon as you can:

Stages of the Waste Treatment Center:

• Stage 1: Initial Build
• Stage 2: Pipes Upgrade
• Stage 3: Cooling Tower Upgrade
• Stage 4: Belts Upgrade
• Stage 5: Filter Media Upgrade
• Stage 6: Mixer Upgrade

Stage 1 Notes:

• Make sure the settlement buildings line up with the settlement and show green before placing the blueprint.
• Place the Pumps & Dumps blueprint nearby and connect it to the pipes below the cooling tower.
• Only build the Wastewater Treatment buildings you need.
• You can choose to wait to build the 2 crushers and filter media mixer until after you've researched Wastewater Treatment II.

Stage 2 Notes:

• If you can, don't place the Waste Treatment Center until you've researched Pipes III.
• If you cannot wait, once you do research Pipes III, the following pipes need upgraded to tier III: Waste Water, Water, Seawater, Toxic Slurry, and any ingress/egress pipes.

Stage 3 Instructions:

1. Remove Cooling Tower and pipe from the tower to the first support brace.
2. Install Cooling Tower (Large)

Stage 4 Notes:

• Upgrade the slag transport on either side of the lift near the slag storage.
• Upgrade all ingress/egress transport.

Stage 5 Instructions:

1. If you haven't done so, build the crushers and filter media mixer now. If you already built them, add the filter media recipe to that mixer.
2. Remove the u-shape conveyor belt between the two Sand storage buildings.
3. Let internal Sand storage drain. The preconfigured alert will tell you once it's empty.
4. Switch storage to Filter Media.
5. Add Filter Media recipe to Wastewater Treatment buildings.

Stage 6 Notes:

• Upgrade all 5 mixers.
