First Reservoir Management System passes all tests
The first UK Reservoir Management System has had two years of successful operation, controlling disinfection residual levels and temperature uniformity within large water-containing reservoirs
The facility is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2008.
The Tetra NSAF, an up-flow, fixed film biological reactor, is a proven, robust system that generates minimal additional solids requiring post-treatment handling and disposal.
Its effectiveness in ammonia removal has been demonstrated at several plant installations throughout the United Kingdom over the past 10 years.
A new process [NSAF+] has been developed to control the very large Strongford plant and will provide significant savings in electricity costs over a conventional NSAF plant.
The total plant area for the Strongford NSAF will be 1,400m2, which will accommodate a flow to the plant of 10,000m3/hr.
The technology is extremely flexible and is available in a range of sizes from small modular units suitable for above or below ground construction to custom-made configurations for large plants.
The Strongford facility will be constructed using 10 rectangular concrete cells, each measuring six meters wide and 22.75 meters in length.
There will be 10,700 T-Blocks in the facility, which would measure 51/2km when placed end to end.
