Convenience stores are often constructed in areas that are not served by central sewers; therefore, onsite wastewater is their only option. The wastewater produced by these facilities is high strength and a conventional system is rarely a good option but are often utilized. This approach leads to failures and multiple replacement systems in a short time and has led to some store chains to avoid building utilizing onsite systems. This presentation will look at some of the commercial offerings of convenience stores and their impact on the wastewater stream. It will also offer some examples of operating convenience store wastewater influent and treatment trains that can provide a long-lasting solution.
