WOMEN IN WATER: HYPATIA OF ALEXANDRIA

Hypatia of Alexandria is estimated to be born in 370 CE in Alexandria, Egypt. She was the daughter of a mathematician and professor at the University of Alexandria. Her father, Theon, taught her math, astronomy and philosophy. He raised her as if she were a son, teaching her the ways of his trade. She never married and devoted her life to studying.

Her studies included mechanics, which lead to trial and error of inventions. Her inventions included something comparable to a water distiller, a device that measured water levels as well as a graduated hydrometer to measure the relative density of liquids.

We do not see these inventions around today, but she is seen and viewed as one of the smartest women of her time and is held in high regard within the scientific community.

Hypatia is known as one of the first female philosophers and was one of the last recorded mathematicians of the Alexandrian tradition.

COMING SOON TO SOUTH CAROLINA

We are proud to announce that a 42,000 gallon per day MEMPAC-X is coming soon to a campground and RV park in North Carolina. Cloacina's MEMPAC-X is a cost-effective treatment solution designed for low flow domestic applications with stringent discharge requirements. The MEMPAC-X can treat 5,000 gallons per day with the standard Cloacina-supplied stainless steel tankage but is designed to be easily expanded to treat up to 25,000 gallons per day with the incorporation of additional Cloacina or client-provided external tanks. This system can reclaim 100% of the treated effluent for irrigation and sanitation purposes and has expedited construction and delivery timelines. Stay tuned for more details and photos from this project.

MEET THE MEMPAC-E (ECONOMY)

The MEMPAC-E membrane bioreactor is the perfect package wastewater treatment system for municipal clients who need an immediate treatment solution, those who are budget-conscious but still have to meet stringent discharge requirements or those with the desire to reclaim treated effluent for re-use. Designed for low flow ranges, the MEMPAC-E has standard, streamlined designs and economized equipment selections while still incorporating many of the same features that clients have become accustomed to on other MEMPAC models: All interior and exterior components are manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials and all tankage and equipment skids are fabricated from stainless steel. Prior to shipment, all equipment is factory-installed and wet tested. The compact design of the MEMPAC-E makes it ideal for projects with small footprints and remote locations.

FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TESTING

ALL CLOACINA PACKAGE PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT UNDERGO RIGOROUS FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TESTING AS A COMPLETE SYSTEM PRIOR TO SHIPPING:

• Tankage is cleaned and leak tested

• All welds on the tankage are brushed and free of spatter and slag

• All welds are cleaned and passivated through an electrochemical passivation process

• Equipment is bump tested for functionality

• Flow testing for pump rotation and leaks

• All equipment is electrically tested and the results are recorded

• Sensors are tested and calibrated

• Membranes are tested

• The controls system is tested in both manual and automatic modes

• The controls system alarms, trending, notifications and setpoints are verified and recorded

• All manual processes are performed and adjusted for easy operation

• Equipment serial numbers are recorded

• All factory setpoints are recorded

• The system is cleaned and prepared for shipping

READY FOR 6 MORE WEEKS OF WINTER?

Do you need a package wastewater treatment system that can withstand six more weeks of winter? 

Cloacina works with clients that need treatment options for extreme cold weather conditions.  All Cloacina models include options for:

• Insulation of hydraulic piping under 2”

• Installation of tanks outside with the equipment skid in an enclosed building 

• Installation of the entire system indoors with sufficient clearance for operations and maintenance

COME SEE US AT UNIFIED

Stop by Cloacina’s booth at the Unified Wine and Grape Symposium in Sacramento from January 25th to January 27, 2022.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM CLOACINA IN 2022

Happy New Year from everyone at Cloacina!  Check out our latest video to see what to expect from us in 2022. This year we will be building package wastewater treatment plants capable of treating 1-2 million gallons per day, introducing our revolutionary new M-path design into our MEMPAC product line and installing plants across the country.  Step right up to see the greatest membrane bioreactor on earth!

Happy Holidays!

May peace, happiness and prosperity be yours during this holiday season and throughout the New Year!
