에보쿠아(Evoqua Water Technologies)는 캘리포니아 로블레스(Robles)시에 수처리 솔루션 및 서비스를 제공하는 업체로 선정됐다고 발표했다. 역사적인 가뭄이 캘리포니아를 덮친 가운데 파소 로블레스(Paso Robles)시는 중요한 물공급 도전과제에 직면해 있다.

과거 이 시는 거대한 대수층에서 발원된 지하수에 수원을 전적으로 의존했으나, 최근에는 물공급을 다양화 및 향상하기 위해 ‘마시미엔토강(Lake Nacimiento) 물 프로젝트’를 시작하고 연간 4천 에이커 피트 규모의 물 혜택을 확보했다.

 

 

 

Evoqua Water Technologies today announced it was chosen to provide water treatment solutions and services to the City of Paso Robles, Calif.

As the historic drought in California continues, the City of Paso Robles faces significant water supply challenges. In the past, the City relied entirely on groundwater, drawn from a large aquifer. To diversify and improve the integrity of its water supply, the City launched the “Lake Nacimiento Water project” and secured a supplemental 4,000 acre-feet per year water entitlement. The use of the Lake Nacimiento water will enable the City to reduce its dependency on the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin, and provide a reliable long-term water supply. Evoqua Water Technologies was retained to design, manufacture and install a granular activated carbon adsorption system as a part of the new treatment plant.

 

The new treatment plant is utilizing Evoqua’s UltraCarb® 1240AW granular activated carbon media, widely considered the best available technology, to treat the Lake Nacimiento water supply for removal of total organic compounds. By utilizing this advanced carbon, the City of El Paso de Robles expects to treat more water per pound of carbon than would otherwise be possible using standard coal-based carbons. This will significantly reduce the life cycle cost of treatment and save the City of Paso Robles and its water users money over time.

 

Evoqua supplied two (2) custom built HP ® Series 1220SYS adsorption systems. The ASME code-stamped 12 ft. diameter 20,000 pound media capacity vessels are carbon steel, lined and manufactured/assembled at Evoqua’s Red Bluff, Calif., state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

 

“Evoqua has a deep-rooted history of helping communities across the world address their drinking water needs, said Christopher Rinaldi, Vice President/GM of Evoqua's Environmental Solutions business. “We are honored to have been selected to partner with The City of Paso Robles to help address their drinking water needs for years to come. And we will do so using locally-manufactured equipment supporting the people, environment and economy in the State of California.”
