DESCRIPTION
One of the largest commercial printing plants in the Philadelphia area, Brown Printing had an old package plant that operator Bill Booth had nursed along for 20 years. Its replacement, an 18,000 gpd Ovivo MBR with two ES125 cassettes is designed to provide reuse quality effluent for the printing plant to use in plate cleaning and other day to day operations. Excess effluent beyond that reused at the plant is discharged to a nearby stream.
