Featured: Miramar Water Treatment Plant
Largest in the U.S.
Of special note: Using a crane, the contractor installed all 32 plate packs for one basin in one day.
With startup completed in the summer of 2009 and a design flow of 220 MGD, the beautiful Miramar Water Treatment Plant in San Diego, CA is the largest stainless steel inclined plate settler installation in the United States.
MRI Inclined Plate Settlers were selected to solve significant treatment challenges and site constraints: The property was already fully utilized, yet the demand for treated water had increased, so additions had to be compact. To handle the demand, conventional basins without plate settlers would have been twelve times as large, required much greater land area, and cost millions more to build.
Compact Design Installed Quickly.
The installation is comprised of four basins, each with 8 rows of plate settlers, with 4 plate settler packs per row. Each basin handles 55 MGD and measures only 74’ wide x 110’ long.
Stainless steel paddle wheel flocculators are used upstream and sludge removal is performed by non-metallic Chain & Flight.
