City Of Sparks - Water Reclamation Facility Cuts Costs With Aeration System
2 PagesCASE STUDY: CITY OF SPARKS Water Reclamation Facility Cuts Costs With Aeration System The City of Sparks Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility (TMWRF) treats wastewater from the Reno/Sparks area. One critical step in this process is aeration, which reduces the environmental impact by introducing oxygen into the wastewater to support metabolizing microorganisms that break down the organic pollutants. Recognizing an opportunity to cut energy costs, TMWRF replaced its energy-intensive mechanical aeration system with efcient subsurface fne bubble disk difuser systems in four of its aeration tanks. With this upgrade, TMWRF eliminated three 60-horsepower pumps that operated around the clock to support the old mechanical system, dramatically reducing energy consum
