Description
The durability of concrete structures in a plant like the East Water Reclamation Facility depends primarily on stopping water, effluent, and chemicals from entering the concrete, even under constant exposure to hydrostatic pressure. PENETRON ADMIX SB-treated concrete is impermeable, which protects the imbedded reinforcement steel in the concrete from corrosion and resulting concrete deterioration.
Products Used
To keep pace with the steady increase in the city’s population, a $44.3 million project recently increased the treatment capacity of the East Water Reclamation Facility from 4.0 million gallons per day (MGD) to 6.5 MGD. The construction of new concrete structures included a new headworks structure (common wall with a flow equalization structure), a new biological nutrient removal reactor with anoxic and aerobic compartments, an internal recycle channel with a control gate, effluent weir, an 85-foot (26-m) diameter clarifier, effluent baffles and weirs, a new dual-chambered aerated sludge holding tank, etc.
