I’m Mike Lutz. I’m a principal engineer with Dewberry Engineers, located in Denver, Colorado. The sanitation district is a small district – serving a residential community primarily – about 300 homes. Clear Creek is a major water supply source for several municipalities in the Denver area. Water quality is a very significant issue. The Clear Creek plant, when we started working on it, was about 35 years old. When we did the process selection for Central Clear Creek initially we were looking at a biological nutrient removal (BNR) plant. When we actually got around to implementing the plant, we had to redo the cost estimates… over that intervening time, the cost of the membrane bioreactor (MBR) system had come down to the point it was about the same as a BNR plant. At which point, we changed our recommendation to go with the MBR. Partly because we’ll think it will be easier to run, and we certainly believe it will be more reliable. The main benefit for the membrane bioreactor – there really are two in my mind… One is high quality effluent, consistently. No matter what happens with the influent, we’re going to get the same effluent quality. And the second major factor is reliability. We know we’re going to get that same quality – day in and day out no matter what is happening upstream of it. I’m Bob Clodfelter. I’m the Director of Operations for Treatment Technology. With the membrane bioreactor process – from the first day – the effluent’s noticeably better… BOD (biological oxygen demand) and total suspended solids are below the detection limit. That’s unusual. Normally, this facility would operate mid-twenty to low-thirty milligrams per liter for those two constituents. With a typical plant – I’d emphasize – it’s easier to maintain compliance and you can do so over a lot wider range of suspended solids content. I guess that’s one of the advantages to this process over the other ones we run as that there are less mechanical parts… which over time, translates to cost saving because of low maintenance requirements. I guess I appreciate your involvement and your continued support. My name is Charles Greaves. I work with Water Technology Group. We are an equipment supplier both a distributor and a representative for municipal and industrial water and waste water equipment. Water Technology Group covers nine states. We have an A-line card. Meaning we carry best-in-class equipment. I’m very pleased with the Alfa Laval MBR product. I believe its innovative. The gravity flow aspects are compelling… and its ease of use has been very well-received by the operators and the marketplace.
