Customized Solution Provided to Treat Varying Water Quality in Illinois City

Problem: The Illinois city of Lexington needed of a new water treatment plant as residents were experiencing tinted water caused by organic materials. Water is sourced from multiple wells, creating unstable water quality. Solution: It includes a fully automated combination of four processes from a single manufacturer. Treatment begins with forced-draft aeration, providing iron oxidation. Water then flows to detention, allowing time for the iron to oxidize. Next comes an OptaCell Plus pressure filter for removal of iron and manganese. The filter, with isolated cell compartments above and below the underdrain, enables individual cells to be backwashed or taken completely offline
