After a detailed assessment conducted by local authorities, the City of West Monroe, LA, upgraded its municipal drinking water facility to accommodate a growing population and to meet drinking water standards for color. TIGG designed, fabricated and assembled a complete multi-media filtration system to remove treatment solids and to process a flow of 1.7- 2.6 million gallons/day. The system consists of five separate 150 psi vessels, a carbon steel pipe rack (including interconnecting piping for influent, effluent and backwash flows), and automated (air actuated) valves to allow forward and backwash flows through the system.
TIGG put its manufacturing capabilities to the test with the West Monroe Municipal Job. For the first time, the company produced 10 ft diameter steel pressure vessels at its ASME code shop in Heber Springs, AR.
“We’ve grown comfortable with manufacturing pressure vessels up to eight feet in diameter, but this is the first time we accepted the challenge of fabricating 10 ft diameter tanks. We were all pleased with the results and the opportunity to demonstrate our growing fabrication capabilities,” said Georgiana Riley, President of TIGG Corp.
TIGG Corp. has been engineering and manufacturing steel tanks and pressure vessels as adsorbers and filters for over 30 years. Building on this experience the company is now offering to build these units to customer specifications for a wide range of applications.
