Meeting ammonia permit limits in a small footprint at cold temperatures with ease of operation

The Fairplay Sanitation District was challenged in meeting their ammonia permit limits and wanted a process that would produce a stable effluent in a small footprint. Influent water temperatures were regularly recorded in between 6°C and 10°C. Due to these cold temperatures, nitrification was not being achieved on a consistent basis.

Clarification and filtration upgrades to provide a total treatment capacity of 6 MGD

The city worked with Wright-Pierce Engineers to preserve the historic value of the buildings at the Somersworth plant while improving both TOC removal rates and the plants disinfection regime. The ACTIFLO® technology had to be integrated into an 1895 plant environment while maintaining existing operations during construction and upgrading the plant from a 3 MGD flow to a 6 MGD flow.

Upgrade Wildcat Hill Wastewater Treatment Facility to achieve more stringent effluent limits

In order to achieve more stringent effluent limits, the City of Flagstaff upgraded the Wildcat Hill Wastewater Treatment Facility, located in northern Arizona. The facility produces a high quality effluent, as well as reclaimed water, which is distributed throughout the region to construction companies and golf courses.

In the winter of 2007, the first BioCon® biosolids drying plant went online. Since then, the lpant has successfully produced dried biosolids efficiently, with low emissions and with minimal operator oversight compared to other biosolids treatment technologies. 

This plant marks the first BioCon® Dryer installation in the United States. The BioCon® drying process produces a Class A product which the community will utilize in a beneficial way as compost or fertilizer. The biosolids will be used for landscaping in agricultural lands as well as flower beds around teh community.

Kruger's BIO-DENITRO system, followed by the Kruger Hydrotech Discfilter, achieved the goal of producing high quality effluent for reclaimed water

In order to meet the demand of growth within the city and to achieve stringent effluent limits, the City of Sanford worked with CPH Engineers to design the Sanford South Water Resource Center (WRC), located in the heart of Central Florida. The facility produces a high quality effluent, as well as reclaimed water, which is distributed throughout the region.

Meet demand of growth within the city and to achieve stringent effluent limits

In order to meet the demand of growth within the city and to achieve stringent effluent limits, the City of Sanford worked with CPH Engineers to design the Sanford South Water Resource Center (WRC), located in the heart of Central Florida. The facility produces a high quality effluent, as well as reclaimed water, which is distributed throughout the region.

Stricter wastewater treatment regulations forced the town of Johnstown, Colorado to examine alternatives for an upgrade to their existing system

The city chose to install the AnoxKaldnes™ LagoonGuard™. Two trains of two Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors in series were added after Lagoon 2, along with a DAF at the end of the treatment process of Lagoon 3.

The City and County of Broomfield, Colorado, with a population of 48,000 was in need of improved wastewater treatment to meet effluent guidelines for phosphorus, ammonia, nitrates and BOD removal from their wastewater

Broomfield WWTP upgraded from 5.4 MGD to 8.0 MGD without having to increase aerobic tank volume. Broomfield WWTP now operates at a MLSS aerobic SRT of 3.5 - 4.5 days withstanding winter temperatures of 55°F and maintains complete nitrification and Total Nitrogen of less than 10 mg/L. In addition, Broomfield operates with secondary effluent concentrations for BOD and TSS of <5 mg/L.

ACTIFLO® Clarifiers are Heart of Water Treatment Solution in Wilsonville, Oregon

To meet economic demands and reduction of the Oregon water table, the town of Wilsonville, OR investigated the use of the Willamette River as the source for a 20 mgd advanced water treatment plant. Many civic groups in the Wilsonville area believed that the Willamette River was less than suitable for use as a drinking water source.

ACTIFLO® Clarifiers to Treat Sanitary Sewer Overflow in Lawrence, KS WWTP

The ACTIFLO Process was evaluated as an alternative for sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) treatment at the City of Lawrence, Kansas's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Prior to implementation of the ACTIFLO Process and expansion of the existing biological treatment trains, the facility struggled with handling wet weather events that exceeded the 9 MGD (average) or 18 mgd (peak) flow capacity.

ACTIFLO® Clarifiers are Heart of Antioch, CA Recycled Water Facility

Due to a number of economic and ecological factors, the California State Water Resources Control Board requires power plant developers to evaluate the use of recycle water for cooling tower needs. For this reason, Calpine (a power plant developer) formed a public-private partnership between itself, Bechtel Enterprises and the Delta Diablo Sanitation District (DDSD) to build a new recycled water facility (RWF) in Antioch, CA for the supply of cooling tower make-up (CTMU) for two (2) area power plants.
