Levi's Stadium pumping system on biggest stage

摘要

Home to Super Bowl 50, the $1.3 billion Levi's Stadium is a model of sustain-ability. With a 27,000-sq.ft. green roof, owners' suites decked out in reclaimed wood, and farm-to-table concession offerings, the 68,500-seat stadium includes a wide variety of "green" features. But none of these is more crucial to its operations than the use of recycled water for its flushing and irrigation systems, which account for 85% of the facility's water usage. The recycled-water pressure booster system built by California Hydron-ics Corp. (CHC) using Bell & Gossett pumps, heat exchangers and other products, taps into the Santa Clara Valley Water District water recycling system. This eliminates the need to use fresh water to flush toilets and to irrigate the natural grass field, green roof and other areas, which is of particular concern in drought-ridden California.
