DESCRIPTION
Sanofi Pasteur Inc.’s vaccine production facility needed to expand its on‐site wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to manage increased wastewater from planned growth in administrative, research and development, and manufacturing activities. The expansion required almost tripling the treatment capacity to 950,000 gallons per day. Ovivo’s MBR advanced treatment technology was selected and commissioned on a fast track schedule with more than half of the increased wastewater flow being used for seasonal landscape and spray irrigation
