올해 초, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)는  2013 Domestic Wastewater Plant Operations Excellence Award에서 플로리다 Big Coppitt에 위치한 Coppitt 지역 정수 시설의 우수한 운전 및 유지 운행에 대한 상을 수여했다.

중간 크기의 플랜트에서 34개 시설을 채택했다. Big Coppitt 처리 시설은 생물학적 처리 시스템인 Aqua-Aerobic 시스템의 연속 회분식 반응기 AquaSBR를 활용했다. 이 기술은 플로리다 플랜트의 고품질의 물을 생산하는데 필수적인 부분이다.

Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority에 따르면 2013 Domestic Wastewater Plant Operations Excellence Award는 산업에서 매우 권위있는 상이다. 선발 기준은 규정준수 이력, 계속적인 기록과 리포트, 고객과의 관계, 시설 안전성과 직원 교육이 있다.

Earlier this year, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) awarded the Big Coppitt Regional Water Reclamation Facility, located in Big Coppitt, Fla., with the 2013 Domestic Wastewater Plant Operations Excellence Award for its exceptional operations and maintenance (O&M) practices.

Chosen out of 34 utilities in the medium-sized plant category, the Big Coppitt treatment facility utilizes an AquaSBR® sequencing batch reactor (SBR) from Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc. (Loves Park, IL), as its biological treatment system. Likewise, the technology is an integral part to achieving the high-quality water produced by the Florida plant.

According to the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority, the 2013 Domestic Wastewater Plant Operations Excellence Award is the most prestigious award available in the industry. Selection criteria is based on compliance history, record keeping and reporting, customer relations, and facility safety and staff training.

 

The FDEP presents awards to domestic wastewater and drinking water facilities throughout the state on an annual basis that demonstrate excellence in overall innovative treatment, waste reduction, pollution prevention, recycling, or other special achievements. Big Coppit's Wastewater Division Manager, Tom Pfiester, was among those who accepted the award for the utility.
