GreenTech: here is a new water treatment system at the Plum Creek Water Purification facility in Castle Rock, Colo.

Pending, to reach their goal of 75-percent renewable water, Town of Castle Rock Utilities has chosen The Pall Aria water treatment system, to enable the town to transition from non-renewable water sources up to a 35-percent renewable supply.

 
 For those who unfamiliar, Connectikpeople may recall that, the Colorado town is
using to treat renewable surface water from alluvial wells near East Plum Creek that are under the influence of surface water.

With the opening of this new facility, the town is not only moving closer to realizing its stated renewable water goal, but is also expected to save on total water purification costs.

Featuring a treatment capacity of up to 4 million gallons per day (MGD), the Pall Aria system is currently treating approximately 2.7 MGD. The treatment facility, including the Pall system, is expandable to 12 MGD, which will help enable the town to meet future demand.

Henceforth, after the membrane filtration system was delivered and installed, Pall technicians provided start-up assistance and training for the town’s plant operators. Pretreatment includes aeration, flocculation/sedimentation, and green sand filtration, and is designed to remove iron, manganese, and organic matter prior to membrane filtration. Membrane filtration provides a barrier to suspended particles as well as organisms such as Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium that are associated with surface water.
