Utility Plans UF Water Treatment

Hydranautics has been awarded the Two Rivers Wisconsin Municipal Ultrafiltration project. The 3.75 MGD system is scheduled to be delivered in mid-2003. Hydranautics' HYDRAcap® capillary ultrafiltration membranes will be used, with PAC feed for taste and odor reduction, on feed water from Lake Michigan.

Bids were received from 5 MF/UF suppliers. Hydranautics was selected for its low operational costs over time, the low cost of the complete UF system package and the performance bond it provided. Hydranautics teamed up with one of its UF Strategic Partners, Indeck Water Treatment Systems of Wheeling, IL.

Indeck will design and fabricate the system and supply a pilot system to verify flux rates. Pilot testing will run through the summer, fall and winter months as required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Carollo Engineers and McMahon Associates are the engineering firms involved in the Two Rivers bid.
