Nassau County Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility
JEA (Jacksonville, Florida) provides electric, water and sewer
services to more than one million people on Florida's First Coast. It is the largest
municipal electric utility in Florida, and it operates the second largest water and
sewer system in Florida.
When JEA was planning upgrades to three of their wastewater
treatment plants they contract TSG to help identify the best treatment technology
for expanding each plant.
JEA was considering using membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for
these plants but had no experience with this technology. They called on TSG
to evaluate the feasibility of MBRs and to compare it with conventional
wastewater treatment systems. As a result of this study, JEA elected to
expand the Nassau County Regional WWTF with MBRs. They contracted TSG to
prepare a preliminary design for submittal to FDEP for permitting and to
assist JEA in the preparation of design/build specifications for this 2
mgd nutrient removal facility. Three membrane systems were pre-qualified
for bidding, Zenon ZeeWeed, USFilter Memcor, and Enviroquip Kubota. The
selected design-build team is using the Kubota system.
TSG has worked closely with both FDEP and JEA to help
oversee permitting and implementation of this state of the art technology.
This project is the first MBR system to be permitted by the Northeastern
District of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and
one of the first MBR systems permitted to provide advanced nutrient removal
as well as public access reuse.
