From our Georgia home base we have easy access to all of the
United States, which is where most of our projects
have been completed. But we are also no strangers to our neighbors to the
north. Here are a few highlights from some of AdEdge’s projects in Canada:
In Alberta’s
Hamlet of Little Smoky community, an AdEdge multi-stage treatment solution
tackles high concentrations of arsenic, iron and manganese, aluminum, total
dissolved solids, total suspended solids, total organic carbon and turbidity at
a truck fill station designed as a resource for residents during times of water
scarcity. AdEdge designed a system with ultraviolet disinfection, reverse osmosis, an ion exchange system, an oxidation/filtration
system, and pre- and
post-chlorination—all housed inside a container. The system, which started
in December 2013, runs for approximately 16 hours a day and has a projected
consumption of 13,200 gallons per day. Treated water is stored below the
system, in a 100-cubic-meter storage tank.
A river mine site in Yukon
enlisted AdEdge to treat the arsenic in its tailing pond’s discharge water,
as the site’s existing treatment plant was inoperable. The arsenic levels of 54
ppb exceeded the Canadian Metal Mining Effluent Regulations standard of 50 ppb.
An AdEdge WaterPOD
containerized building houses a skid-mounted coagulation/filtration packaged
unit, which has reduced the arsenic levels to well below the standard since it
was started up in June 2012.
The approximately 150 students and staff at Rawdon
Elementary School in Nova Scotia needed
a treatment solution for the elevated arsenic levels in the school’s water.
Atlantic Purification Systems contacted AdEdge to design, manufacture and start
up a system to bring the arsenic levels to a safe level that complied with the
Canadian Maximum Acceptable Concentration (MAC) of 10 ppb. Integrated with the
school’s existing water softener system, the 10-gallon-per-minute system is
composed of two composite vessels with top mounted automatic flow controls.
Using AdEdge’s E33
granular ferric oxide media, the system has successfully and consistently
reduced the school’s arsenic levels to below the MAC since September 2007.
From Canada to Argentina to Indonesia, our services are
spread across the globe. Give
us a call and let us know where our treatment solutions for clean, safe
water are needed next.
