- Brush Creek Water Pollution Control
Facility in Cranberry Township Will Expand to Treat More than 7
Million Gallons of Wastewater Daily
- LEAPmbr Allows for Expansion within the
Existing Footprint
- Upgrade Will Meet Stringent State and
Federal Phosphorus and Nitrogen Discharge Regulations
Seeking to increase the wastewater treatment capacity at the
Brush Creek sewage plant without expanding its footprint, Cranberry
Township, Pennsylvania, turned to GE’s (NYSE:GE) high-performance
LEAPmbr* membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology for an upgrade. Once
complete, the expanded Brush Creek Water Pollution Control Facility
will treat more than 7 million gallons per day of wastewater, and
the effluent will meet current and future nutrient and discharge
limitations.
GE is supplying its LEAPmbr advanced wastewater treatment system
to GHD, which is one of the world’s leading engineering procurement
and construction companies operating with projects in water,
energy, resources, property development and transportation.
“Cranberry Township's population is steadily growing, and the
expansion of the Brush Creek Water Pollution Control Facility will
ensure we can treat the wastewater now and in the future as well as
meet more stringent phosphorus and nitrogen discharge limitations.
Working with GHD and installing GE’s LEAPmbr technology will enable
our plant to run more effectively and efficiently,” said Jason
Dailey, director public works, Cranberry Township.
The Brush Creek Water Pollution Control Facility currently
treats 3.4 million gallons of wastewater per day and once the
expansion is complete in early 2018, it will be able to treat an
average of 7.2 million gallons of wastewater daily. In the future,
the plant will be able to increase capacity to 8.73 million gallons
per day and have an organic capacity of 19,200 pounds per day.
The plant provides wastewater treatment services to all of
Cranberry Township along with portions of Pine, Marshall and New
Sewickley Townships. Wastewater is collected from area homes,
businesses and industries and after being treated is discharged
into Brush Creek.
“LEAPmbr is ideal for municipalities that want to decrease their
overall capital and life cycle costs and increase productivity all
within a smaller footprint. After the upgrade, Cranberry Township
will be able to provide its residents and industrial businesses
with improved effluent water quality, increased treatment capacity
and a lower cost of ownership,” said Kevin Cassidy, global leader,
engineered systems—water and process technologies for GE Power.
