Activated sludge and clarifiers: wastewater treatment plants in Oklahoma
79 plants · 33% of the state · 162 MGD reported by 75 plants
Klarifi identifies 79 publicly owned wastewater treatment plants with activated sludge and clarifiers in Oklahoma, 33% of the 236 plants in the state (162 MGD reported by 75 plants). The largest is Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant in Tulsa at 23.36 MGD.
Activated sludge is the standard mechanical process for cities: aeration basins where bacteria consume organic matter, followed by clarifiers that settle the biomass out. These plants are identified by their circular or rectangular clarifiers and by the suspended-growth process code, and they are the main market for blowers, diffusers, clarifier mechanisms and instrumentation.

Sources and methodology
Flow, permit and violation figures come from the EPA's ICIS-NPDES discharge monitoring records. Population served comes from the Clean Watersheds Needs Survey 2022. Treatment structures are identified by Klarifi's review of aerial imagery, and capital improvement projects are extracted from published municipal budget documents. Violations are counted over the last three years of monitoring reports.
