Cloacina recently manufactured and installed a MEMPAC-M membrane bioreactor (MBR) wastewater treatment plant for the Parkdale Sanitary District in Parkdale, Oregon that was funded by grants and loans from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The treatment plant is capable of treating up to 195,000 gallons per day for short periods and a maximum continuous flow of 117,000 gallons per day.
The wastewater treatment plant serving the rural town of Parkdale was built in the 1960s and could no longer meet the community’s needs or comply with the latest National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. The District also wanted a higher quality effluent than the existing equipment could produce.
