Evoqua Water Technologies is set to provide 42 granular activated carbon (GAC) vessel systems to the City of Bakersfield in California, US.
With these new vessel systems in place, the city will continue to provide clean drinking water to its residents.
Set to be provided at a total value of $7.8m, the systems will be connected to the city’s existing drinking water wells in order to remove 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP), a chemical compound.
The regulated synthetic organic contaminant in California, TCP has been identified as a cancer-causing compound.
Exposure to this compound in water can occur through drinking, cooking, and inhaling water vapour.
With the latest upgrade to 30 of the city’s 64 wells, TCP can be removed to a level which complies with the recently adopted California Maximum Contaminant Level of 5 parts-per-trillion.
Last month, Evoqua acquired ADI Systems, Lange Containment and Geomembrane Technologies (ADI) from ADI Group in a bid to expand the company’s position in industrial wastewater solutions.
The business offers a range of technologies and also provides green energy recovery and water reuse technologies as well as industrial wastewater cover liners and containment systems.
ADI, which was founded in 1989, will become a part of Evoqua’s Integrated Equipment Technologies segment within its Industrial Division.
