Hydrologics Technology Could Augment Water Treatment Plants
New Jersey | 2015
The NJAW Hydrologics truck unit was designed with oversized filter vessels (two 24 round filter bag filter vessels, instead of the standard 12 round filter bag filter vessels); so it could be used to augment their Oak Gen Water Treatment Plant located in Famingdale, New Jersey, during the hot summer months. Usually at that time of year, the plant couldn’t produce enough water to meet demand. During July and August of each year their Hydrologics truck unit was parked next to their clarifier building and was used to augment filtering of the plant’s water to increase the daily production by over 1 MGD. This augmentation was only needed until the plant upgrades were completed (this took place in approximately 5 years). Note: A large, well-known company was invited to participate in a run-off to determine the best technology (and costs) for the project — They brought in two giant RO units. Hydrologics won!
