Description:
This report describes the performance of Water Factory 21, a 0.66 cu m/s advanced wastewater treatment plant designed to reclaim secondary effluent from a municipal wastewater treatment plant so that it can be used for injection and recharge of a groundwater system. Included in this evaluation of the first one and one-half years of performance are summary data for general inorganics, heavy metals, virus, and a broad range of organic materials. Processes included in the plant are lime treatment, ammonia stripping, breakpoint chlorination, filtration, activated-carbon adsorption, reverse osmosis, and final chlorination. The performance of individual processes as well as overall efficiency was evaluated.
