California Biological Drinking Water Treatment Plant Under Way

摘要

Envirogen Technologies has begun construction on a first-of-its-kind biological drinking water treatment plant in collaboration with West Valley Water District (WVWD) and the city of Rialto, Calif. The new plant, which will be installed at WVWD headquarters in Rialto, will remove per-chlorate (as well as nitrate) from groundwater, producing up to 3 mgd of quality drinking water for area residents. The plant represents a significant move toward addressing the cleanup of a major perchlorate plume that threatens the Rialto-Colton Basin's water supply. It also represents the culmination of more than a decade of technology research and development by Envirogen and a lengthy collaborative process by WVWD and the city of Rialto to secure funding for the project.
