Trickling Filter Feed Sump Repair at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station

摘要

The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station is the largest nuclear power plant in the U.S. and uses Phoenix, AZ, sewage effluent to cool the reactors and generate electricity. The Water Reclamation Facility provides tertiary treatment processing of approximately 90 million gal. (340.7 million L) of effluent per day. A pumping facility—the trickling filter/filter clarifier (TF/FC) sump—underwent significant concrete repairs in October 2008.
