Water Reclamation

Overview

The concept: We provide an alternative source of water by harvesting and treating groundwater and/or capturing and treating process water

Why Sustainable Cost savings and rate hedging Redundant water sources for business continuity

Water Reclamation Treatment Equalization

• Process wastewater will be pumped into an Equalization Tank where most of the solids will be ground up and removed;

• Depending on the makeup of the water, chemicals (chlorine for example) will be added before the effluent enters the aerobic treatment tank;

Water Reclamation Treatment Aerobic Digestion

Process wastewater treatment will consist of aerobic treatment using bacteria (activated sludge) oxygenated by blowers in the activation basin to degrade organic matter;

Microorganisms consume and remove the organics and nutrients from the water as solids;

During this process BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) is significantly lowered;

Water will be tested and monitored after this process;

Water Reclamation Treatment Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)

From the Activation Basin, water will be pumped into the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), which is a common municipal wastewater treatment process;

MBR treatment will produce POTABLE water meeting all U.S. EPA standards that is suitable for most needs;

Water will be tested and monitored after this treatment;

Water Reclamation Treatment Polishing

Nanofiltration membranes will be used to further treat the water beyond potable primary and secondary standards;

This potable water can be discharged free of contaminants (no surcharges) or be recycled for a variety of uses in the facility;

Water will be tested and monitored after nanofiltration;

Water Reclamation Treatment Controls & Monitoring

Controls & monitoring systems will be installed for on- and off-site observation;

Reclaimed process water treatment will be tested at 5 different steps in the process;

Regular testing and third-party confirmation from EPA-certified labs shall be provided;

Water testing & monitoring will be more frequent and more stringent than by current provider;

Water Reclamation Treatment High Service Pumping

Water will be delivered on demand by a high-service pumping system;

Redundancy will be built in so that potable water can always be provided;

Variable Frequency Drive pumps (VFDs) will be installed to ensure peak demands are met and energy is conserved in off-peak times;

As with treated well water, treated effluent will be stored in a large clear-water underground tank for uses such as cooling, boiler make-up, steam, and cleaning;

Post-chlorination is provided to ensure water remains potable;

Water can be further adjusted and “customized” as needed;
