In addition to its primary function of wastewater reclamation for reuse within the fish production facility, the plant has also been used for many research initiatives covering enhanced nutrient removal and the impact of saline upon membrane operation.
DESCRIPTION
CFFI is an aquaculture research institute. The field of aquaculture has as one of its major goals the economical and sustainable improvement of fish production. As fish production increases, water reclamation from fish production has become more and more important. To concentrate the waste stream and provide a reliable form of nutrient removal, a 5,000 gallon/day MBR system was installed in January 2004.
