PLANO, TEXAS, DEC 15, 2017 -- BakerCorp, a leader in water treatment solutions, recently marked the completion of a multi-site dewatering project for a Denver area public-private construction entity. Baker was chosen as the single vendor for the project based on the company's ability to design a custom filtration, containment, and pumping solution for around-the-clock groundwater containment and cleanup. Over the duration, more than 15 million gallons of contaminated water were successfully treated on-site, and the BakerCorp system effectively reduced estimated disposal costs by 60%.
"As we began to assess the project, we identified an opportunity to provide substantial value, both in terms of reduced overall treatment costs and flexibility of operations, to our customer. We were able to do this by leveraging our team's expertise and the technology in our mobile electrocoagulation (EC) system offering," said Mehrzad Emanuel, vice president of filtration at BakerCorp.
Challenged by fluctuating amounts of contaminated groundwater affecting the project, BakerCorp's custom solution required flexibility above all else, along with continuous on-site operations. The BakerCorp team engineered, configured, and installed a filtration system that drove water through BakerCorp's EC-250 treatment trailer, a mobile filtration system built on a movable trailer. Streaming through a series of four tri-chamber barrier tanks, solid particulates were removed from over 15 million gallons of water. After this initial filtration, water flowed from a frac tank into sand and media filters, a bag filter, and a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter for enhanced solids separation and polishing before discharge.
