A municipality in the Dallas-Fort Worth area faced a significant budgetary challenge when addressing its wastewater treatment needs. The city received a $17 million bid to construct a conventional wastewater treatment plant. However, this exceeded their budget, prompting the search for a cost-effective and space-efficient alternative.
The city turned to reUse for its advanced Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology, known for its small footprint and superior treatment efficiency. reUse delivered a tailored solution that:
Reduced the project cost to $11 million, saving the city over $5 million.Designed a system capable of processing 17 million gallons per day (MGD) on the same 10-acre site initially proposed for a 5 MGD conventional system.
Implemented a phased approach to meet immediate needs and allow for future growth.
Current Status:Phase 1, with a capacity of 250,000 gallons per day (GPD), is fully operational, ensuring the city’s immediate wastewater treatment requirements are met. Phase 2, which will further expand capacity, is currently under construction.
