One of four Enviroquip MBRs the Tribe bought.
DESCRIPTION
The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde in Oregon took a decentralized approach to their wastewater treatment needs. The Tribe has three operating Enviroquip MBR Systems across the reservation ranging in size from 33,000 gpd to 300,000 gpd. The Elder Housing WWTP is an above ground 33,000 gpd package MBR System. Although it was the first system installed on the reservation, it was the last one to startup due to lack of sufficient flow. For more information on the other operating MBR Systems on the reservation, please see case studies for Grand Ronde Family Housing WWTP and Spirit Mountain Casino WWTP. The Tribe sold the portable MBR unit once used for temporary treatment for the Family Housing plant.
