The Largest MBR in North America
DESCRIPTION
Located near The Pro Football Hall of Fame, this MBR is the largest in North America with a rated capacity of 42 MGD. Always with an eye toward the future, the City of Canton chose the Ovivo MBR to gain more capacity and prepare for future tightening nutrient limits. The pre-existing aeration tanks were retrofitted to include anaerobic, anoxic, fine bubble diffusers, and membrane zones. Six such process trains make up the overall MBR System.
