Kruger Awarded Second Contract In Port Orange, Florida Based On Previous Success With Hydrotech Discfilter

Kruger Inc., a Veolia business unit specialized in water treatment solutions for municipalities, was awarded a contract to furnish a Hydrotech Discfilter system for the Port Orange Reclaimed Water Reservoir and Filtration Project located in Port Orange, FL.

Kruger will provide one Hydrotech Discfilter unit with a controls system, mobile automated cleaning system (ACS) and two slow speed mechanical mixers. The system is designed to treat stormwater to reuse standards by filtering a peak flow of 2.0 MGD and provide effluent with TSS ≤ 5mg/L. The Port Orange Reclaimed Water Reservoir and Filtration Project is investing in the city’s future by upgrading their treatment capabilities, especially the ability to treat stormwater to reuse standards.

Hydrotech Discfilter utilizes many patented designs, including the oscillating backwash spray header which provides efficient media cleaning while reducing water consumption by 20 percent. Its innovative design and robust construction consistently produce high quality effluent despite high solids loadings and upset conditions. Its compact footprint, simplified control system and straightforward installation process make the Hydrotech Discfilter a superior filtration technology.

The Hydrotech Discfilter was selected largely based on Kruger’s successful installation of their innovative filtration application at a nearby site in Port Orange. Kruger’s superior technology, competitive pricing, customer service and extensive installation base across the U.S were also important factors in Port Orange’s decision. Expected to be operational during the spring of 2016, the Hydrotech Discfilter will give the Port Orange Reclaimed Water Reservoir and Filtration Project a cost-effective, state-of-the-art technology that will provide first-rate filtration.
