NuTerra는 재무 및 위험 분석 모델을 기반으로 시에서 자본·운영과 관련한 변경사항을 해결할 수 있도록 도움을 주는 설계·시공과 관련한 서비스 제공 기업이다. NuTerra는 악취를 제거하고 운송비용 및 에너지 사용을 절약 할 수 베로 비치(Vero Beach)의 폐수처리 플랜트에서 새로운 ‘CleanB’ 시스템의 설치를 수주했다고 발표했다. 이는 도시 환경에 많은 긍정적인 영향을 끼칠 것으로 예상되며, 2016년 여름에 사업이 완료될 것으로 보인다.

NuTerra, a designer, builder, and provider of services based on proprietary financial and risk analysis models that help municipalities address capital and operating changes, today announced that it has begun installing a new CleanB system at the wastewater treatment plant in Vero Beach that will save transportation and energy costs, eliminate odors, and provide environmental benefits to the city. Completion of the project is slated for summer 2016.

Vero Beach is the sixth wastewater treatment operation in Florida to adopt BCR Environmental’s CleanB® as a way to address diminishing disposal outlets and landfill capacity, increasing environmental regulations, and rising energy costs. Alachua, Lake Wales, Ft. Pierce, Pembroke Pines, and the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville have been using CleanB systems that produce odorless biosolids and reduce nutrient return loads created by digestion processes.

In 10 minutes of contact time, the CleanB system disinfects, eliminates odor, and enhances dewatering of secondary sludge without the need for aerobic digestion, odor-control systems and other costly and energy-intensive equipment. Increases of five percent or more in total cake solids are not uncommon. The resultant dewatered material enables access to a greater number of disposal outlets and beneficial reuse strategies.
