PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Commissioned January, 2005
Domestic WW, Greenfield
Permit(s); Reuse
10/NA/0.2 (TN/TP/Turbidity)
Resort ⇒ Irrigation
MMF Capacity: 0.35 MGD
2 FTE (Full‐Time Employees)

We have a Biomembrane Treatment Plant to be able to use the recycled water for irrigation, thereby saving our precious water supply.
DESCRIPTION
In keeping with the owner’s interest in sustainable community development, the entire resort has been designed to have minimal impact on the local environment. La Ventana del Mar’s choice of technology for their wastewater treatment needs also kept with this theme. Desiring an easy‐to‐ operate, high‐performance system that could produce an effluent suitable for reuse, they selected Ovivo MBR Technology to handle wastewater produced at the resort. The Ovivo MBR, designed to be the simplest, easiest‐to‐ operate membrane bioreactor technology available, was a perfect fit for the site, due to its small footprint and its unique capabilities for retrofits and conversions of conventional activated sludge systems.
