[미국] Evoqua, 키웨스트 지역 폐수처리시설 확장에 참여

플로리다 키웨스트(Key West)에 위치한 KW Resort Utilities(KWRU)는 키웨스트에서 KWRU의 기존 생물학적 폐수처리 용량을 확장하기 위한 프로젝트를 위해 판매 파트너인 Heyward Florida Incorporated를 통해 에보쿠아(Evoqua Water Technologies)를 선정했다. 이 프로젝트는 지역의 취약한 해양 환경에서 미래 용량 및 영양소 제거 요구사항을 충족시키기 위해 진행된다.

에보쿠아는 강철 탱크, 폐수처리장 내부 구성요소, 현장 설치, 현장 채색 및 시운전을 제공한다.

크리스토퍼 존슨 KWRU 회장은 “우리는 인구 밀도가 높고 취약한 해양 환경에서 우리의 미래에 대해 생각하고 있다”면서 “에보쿠아는 지난 33년 동안 지역사회의 요구 사항을 해결하는 데 큰 진전을 이룩했으며, 우리는 이 프로젝트가 33가지 이상의 요구사항을 지속적으로 충족하는 것에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다”고 밝혔다.

EVOQUA TO SUPPLY FIELD-ERECTED WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IN KEY WEST

KW Resort Utilities (KWRU) Corp. of Key West, Florida has selected Evoqua Water Technologies through its sales partner Heyward Florida Incorporated for a project to expand KWRU's existing biological wastewater treatment capacity in Key West to meet future capacity and nutrient removal requirements in the region's fragile marine environment. The project will include the installation of a DAVCO™ Field-Erected Biological Treatment plant, expanding capacity by 350,000 gallons per day (GPD). The existing facility currently treats 500,000 GPD.

The three-stage Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) activated sludge plant includes steel outer walls 90 feet in diameter and 20.5 feet high. Evoqua will supply steel tanks, internal components for the wastewater plant, field erection, field painting and commissioning.

This plant is a continuation of 33-year relationship between KWRU and Evoqua's DAVCO product support team that began in 1983, when Evoqua supplied a 250,000 GPD extended aeration DAVCO Field Erected Treatment Plant. In 1997 a second identical plant was erected, doubling the capacity to 500,000 GPD. In 2007 a 56,000 gallon stand-alone clarifier was erected and the two existing plants were converted into a three-stage Biological Nutrient Removal process as effluent requirements became more stringent. The new 350,000 GPD plant is expected to start up in early 2017 giving the utility a total treatment capacity of 850,000 GPD.

"We're thinking about our future in this densely populated, fragile marine environment," said KWRU president Christopher Johnson. "Evoqua has helped make great progress in addressing our community's needs over the last 33 years, and we expect this project to help us to continue to meet those needs for 33 more."
