Newark, NY

In February 2008 the Village of Newark, NY installed three Webitat modules in both of their two trains at their existing wastewater treatment facility in upstate New York. Each of the six Webitat modules were 6 ½ by 6 ½ feet by 11 feet tall. The final installed modules included the standard Webitat integral aeration system and side baffling.

This 3.3 MGD experienced have significant problems with hydraulic washout and needed to fix a portion of the biomass in the existing basins to ensure continuous treatment. An additional challenge was the low temperatures (9º–10º Celsius) experienced routinely during the winters in this upstate New York facility.
