뉴테라(Newterra®)의 자회사인 스톰워터엑스(StormwateRx®)에서 생산중인 Aquip® 강화된 여과 시스템(Enhanced Filtration System)은 워싱턴 주 생태부(Department of Ecology)로부터 성능 인정 및 인증을 받았다고 밝혔다. 워싱턴 주는 기술 평가 프로토콜(Technology Assessment Protocol– Ecology, TAPE)을 사용하여 기본, 강화 및 인 처리에 대해 Aquip 여과 시스템에 일반 사용 수준 지정(General Use Level Designation, GULD)을 부여했다. 이 지정으로 StormwateRx Aquip 시스템은 총 부유 물질(TSS), 용해 구리 및 아연이 포함된 신규 및 재개발 프로젝트에 사용하도록 승인됐다.

테드 래스롭(Ted Lathrop) 뉴테라 제품 관리자 전문 엔지니어(Professional Engineer, PE)는 “StormwateRx Aquip 시스템은 상위 등급의 도시 또는 산업적 개조 응용을 위해 설계된 유일한 GULD 승인 기술 중 하나이다"라면서 "지방 자치 단체가 유지 관리할 수 있는 가장 간단한 기술이기도 하다”라고 말했다.

GULD 승인은 워싱턴 주 TAPE의 엄격한 평가 프로토콜과 전국의 여러 주 및 지방 자치구에서 인정되는 동료 평가 규제 인증 프로세스(peer-reviewed regulatory certification process)를 사용하여 부여됐다. TAPE 평가는 현장, 태평양 북서부 지역 또는 생태부에서 승인한 우수 기술 평가 시설에서 수행해야 한다. 평가 결과는 하나 이상의 정의된 처리 범주에 대한 엄격한 성과 목표를 충족해야 한다.

Aquip® Receives General Use Level Designation (GULD) Approval

Newterra® Stormwaterx® Aquip® Filtration System Receives General Use Level Designation (GULD) 

Approval From The Washington State Department Of Ecology

The Newterra® StormwateRx® Aquip® Enhanced Filtration System has received performance recognition and certification from the Washington State Department of Ecology. Using its Technology Assessment Protocol – Ecology (TAPE), Washington State awarded the Aquip Filtration System a General Use Level Designation (GULD) for basic, enhanced and phosphorus treatment. With this designation, the StormwateRx Aquip System is approved for use on new and redevelopment projects with total suspended solids (TSS), dissolved copper, and zinc.

“The StormwateRx Aquip System is one of the only GULD-approved technologies designed for above-grade municipal or industrial retrofit applications. It is also the most straightforward technology for a municipality to maintain,” says Ted Lathrop, Professional Engineer (PE), Newterra Product Manager

The GULD approval was granted using the State of Washington TAPE’s rigorous evaluation protocol and peer-reviewed regulatory certification process recognized in multiple state and municipal districts nationwide. TAPE evaluations must be conducted in the field, at a site in the Pacific Northwest or a Department of Ecology-approved stormwater technology evaluation facility. Evaluation results must meet strict performance goals for one or more defined treatment categories.
