| Earth Tech to improve Chicago wastewater treatment plant Earth Tech Inc., a business unit of Tyco International Ltd., and a global provider of consulting, engineering and construction services, has been awarded a $7.5 million contract by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) to provide overall project management and preliminary and final design services at the District's largest wastewater treatment facility. Earth Tech will evaluate and oversee improvements to increase efficiency and enhance the effectiveness of the sludge treatment process at one of the world's largest wastewater treatment plant – the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. As part of the work, the team will convert the facility's two-stage sludge thickening process to one stage and make other improvements to increase the overall solids capture and achieve a higher total solids concentration feed to the digesters at the plant, which has an average design capacity of 1,200 million gallons per day. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
