Challenge
Neville Mobile Home Park faced challenges with its 10,000 GPD (38 m3/d) on-site treatment system, which had exceeded its lifecycle capability, leading to regulatory compliance issues. Despite previous efforts to upgrade the system, failures persisted, leaving the park vulnerable to potential closure and regulatory fines imposed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
The site needed to address these critical compliance issues, meeting specific water quality requirements, and ensuring long-term sustainability and high performance in water management practices.
Solution
QUA’s EnviQ® submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology was seamlessly integrated into a decentralized treatment system. This integration has allowed the decentralized water system to achieve exceptional performance and sustainability standards, revolutionizing water management practices in the Neville Mobile Home Park.
Decentralized wastewater treatment applications overcome many of the challenges large central utilities face. These systems provide flexible, efficient, and scalable solutions, ensuring that even smaller communities like Neville Mobile Home Park can achieve high-quality water treatment standards without relying on extensive central infrastructure.
QUA’s EnviQ membranes are engineered to enhance the operational efficiency and maintenance of MBR facilities. They ensure reliable and consistent production of ultrafiltration quality effluent with <1 NTU turbidity and ~5-6 log reduction of bacteria. EnviQ’s cutting-edge design incorporates a robust PVDF flat sheet membrane and a proprietary diffuser system, guaranteeing exceptional durability and performance.
Result
Since its installation, the system has met the product water requirements of the Neville Mobile Home Park and allows for safe discharge directly to the local water stream. The system solved Neville Mobile Home Park’s problems, allowing it to reach water levels beyond requirements and avoid serious penalties and closure.
This decentralized water system has set new standards for performance and sustainability, revolutionizing water management practices by utilizing our cutting-edge membrane technology. This project highlights the potential for decentralized systems to provide high-quality water treatment solutions, even for smaller communities.
