NEW PRODUCT: MEET THE MEMPAC-S

Cloacina’s MEMPAC-S (Scalping) is one of the most revolutionary products currently available in wastewater treatment. Untreated domestic wastewater is intercepted, pumped out of the gravity sewer into the MEMPAC-S, treated to reuse standards and then discharged to irrigate parks and common areas, used to offset agricultural, irrigation or commercial water usage or recharge groundwater supplies using direct injection. Untreated solids are returned to the sewer. A scalping plant is an alternative to centralized wastewater treatment that can provide secondary or tertiary treatment within a smaller facility.

In times of drought and mandatory water conservation measures, it is no longer responsible to irrigate sports complexes, flowerbeds and medians with potable water, nor is it tenable to continue to send a valuable resource to final discharge locations such as the ocean when communities are struggling to maintain groundwater balance. Fabricated from stainless steel, the MEMPAC-S can reclaim 100% of the treated effluent in accordance with Title 22 requirements or any other state or national regulations, lessening the strain on diminishing potable water and groundwater supplies. By performing treatment adjacent to the disposal location, a scalping plant is an affordable reuse option.

ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES

Over the past decade, Cloacina has become a trusted resource for engineering firms across the United States. We specialize in providing a complete wastewater equipment menu from inlet to outlet. Our Engineering Team supports your design and Client from inception through start-up, installation and commissioning of the equipment and during the warranty period. Cloacina plants have expedited proposal, design, permitting, construction and installation time frames compared to traditional treatment methods. We provide process calculations, modeling, and documentation, per your specifications or ours, for selection and design of our plants and equipment including: equipment specifications, PFDs, P&IDs, controls panel drawings, controls strategies and equipment data for inclusion in your submittals.

You approve the design. We provide the process guarantee and equipment liability.

Working with Cloacina allows you to work on wastewater projects without a process engineer on staff and allows you to complete more projects every year acting as the Project Manager that oversees our pre-engineered designs. We can also assist your Client with the interface of our equipment with their existing facilities.

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.

CHELAN COUNTY PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1

Cloacina designed and built a CEMPAC Sludge Thickening System utilizing SiC Flat Sheet Membranes for the Chelan County Public Utility District No. 1 which was partially funded by the Washington Department of Ecology. The system was a dual-train thickener, with each train consisting of four membrane cassettes. Each train was designed to be individually configurable for the specific feed source, which consists of filter backwash and Waste Activated Sludge (WAS). This system was designed and is currently operating without any polymer injection to achieve the desired results.

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
