The project can help large municipalities meet the urgent demand for expanding capacity, while reducing membrane tank footprint up to 50% and reducing energy costs by 20%.
WD News: Veolia Water Technologies has expanded ZeeWeed MBR that helps municipalities overcome urgent wastewater challenges, enabling increased treatment capacity while reducing energy costs by 20%.
Municipalities everywhere are recycling more water, with global water reuse expected to increase 37% by 2027. As per company officials, their new configuration (ZeeWeed 500EV) can help large municipalities meet the urgent demand for expanding capacity, while reducing membrane tank footprint up to 50% and reducing energy costs by 20%.
ZeeWeed MBR hollow-fibre ultrafiltration membranes are utilised for wastewater, and water reuse applications, as well as industrial wastewater and Reverse Osmosis (RO) pre-treatment.
Case Study Examples
The City of Canton in Georgia, is performing a $65.9 million conversion of its Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) facility to a Biological Nutrient Removal Membrane Reactor (BNR-MBR) facility, utilising the evolved ZeeWeed 500EV solution to expand wastewater treatment capacity by 75% to 7 million gallons per day.
Also in Georgia, the City of Pooler is implementing a $49 million expansion to its existing wastewater treatment plant, which has employed ZeeWeed MBR technology for nearly two decades. Incorporating ZeeWeed 500EV offered the City of Pooler 40% more membrane capacity in the future and reduced the membrane aeration energy by another 15%.
In Saskatchewan, Canada, as the City of Lloydminster was designing their new wastewater treatment facility, they selected ZeeWeed MBR technology. The membrane system upgrade required fewer cassettes resulting in lower installation costs, lower operating costs as well as expecting a 25% reduction in shipping and transportation carbon footprint for the membranes.
