Canadian WWTP selects Evoqua’s Geomembrane Technologies

Water treatment solutions provider Evoqua’s Geomembrane Technologies has been chosen by an undisclosed wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Western Canada, to help control odours.

Selected following a bid process, Geomembrane Technologies’ role in the project includes designing, fabricating, and overseeing the installation of several structurally supported covers for the WWTP’s primary clarifier tanks.

The brand will provide 24 retractable covers in addition to non-trafficable removable panel covers for scum collection channels.

The foul odour, which is generated from the WWTP treating millions of litres of wastewater annually, will be treated with Geomembrane Technologies’ retractable covers.

The customised covers measuring 22-28ft (6.7-8.5m) wide and 24-32ft (7.3-9.8m) long in size includes a sheet of high-strength fabric tensioned across a low-profile aluminium arched frame, which helps easy access to tank contents for inspection and maintenance.

Geomembrane Technologies general manager Victor Cormier said: “The covers will help control odours from wastewater treatment at the plant, as well as improve working conditions for plant operators.”

The project is slated to complete this spring.

Evoqua’s brand Geomembrane Technologies is a supplier of tank and lagoon covers and containment liners for water and wastewater applications.

Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Evoqua has its operations in 160 locations in eight countries with over 200,000 installations and 87 service branches.
