Case Study: Horizontal Pressure Filters For Iron And Manganese Removal

With continued population growth in its service area east of Austin, TX, Manville WSC required more water to keep ahead of the growth curve. New wells were drilled and additional water provided by Alcoa operations at no charge; however, Manville WSC needed to treat this source water for iron and manganese removal. J.F. Fontaine & Associates studied, designed, and administered the construction of a new four million gallon per day iron treatment plant to meet the treatment goals of Manville WSC. Tonka Equipment Company worked closely with J. F. Fontaine & Associates to design a customized solution for this plant using state-of-the-art processes to reduce wastewater volumes by 50% compared to conventional water plant designs.
