Plant upgrades treatment system during pandemic
Problem: A local community wastewater treatment plant near the Indian Ocean in South Africa needed to be upgraded quickly, but during the height of the COVID pandemic, there was limited ability for the project managers to check out other installations and meet face to face with suppliers.
Solution: The customer chose a MyFAST 16.0 HS-STP system (BioMicrobics) for its low-maintenance, easy operation and high-quality effluent. Designed to treat up to 160,000 gpd, the system saw peak flow in the morning and dinner hours and another increase around midday.
Result: The system achieved a 79% reduction in ammonia, 74%
