City Of Warwick Enhances Treatment Facility With Addition Of Veolia's ACTIFLO Technology

Kruger, Veolia’s US Municipal Solutions provider, was awarded a contract from the City of Warwick, Rhode Island.

Kruger will implement two 12.5 MGD ACTIFLO systems for Warwick’s Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility phosphorus removal upgrade, as part of the city’s wastewater facility’s nutrient removal upgrade plan.

This installation will feature two 12.5 MGD Veolia designed process treatment trains complete with controls, mixers, chemical and micros and feed equipment for a total design capacity of 25 MGD. The system will effectively treat secondary effluent with total phosphorus as high as 1.5 mg/L down to an effluent limit of < 0.10 mg/L. These tertiary treatment trains can also be used to treat wet weather flows and possess the flexibility to meet future limits (phosphorus, metals) without having to modify the process trains.

This ACTIFLO system, expected to be fully operational in 2016, will be the third of four installations that will be commissioned in the state of Rhode Island within the next 3 years. All of these ACTIFLO systems will serve as total phosphorus removal applications providing each city with low effluent levels thereby discharging cleaner water to the local receiving streams. The system’s compact footprint, high degree of operational flexibility and cost efficient maintenance will give the City of Warwick a superior process technology that can meet the evolving environmental standards for years to come.
