Company Announcement - World Water Works,a leading designer and manufacturer of wastewater treatment solutions, recently attended a formal groundbreaking ceremony for the Phase 2 Plant Improvements at the Hopewell Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility , Hopewell, Virginia. As part of the improvement project, WWW is providing its advanced Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor coupled to a high rate Dissolved Air Flotation system – the Ideal MBBR-DAF™ system – to help HRWTF meet new, more stringent nitrogen limits. The project is being hailed as an important step in keeping the James River healthy, while maintaining important jobs provided by local industries in Virginia. Project completion is expected in 2016. 

The groundbreaking event was hosted by Hopewell’s city manager, Mark Haley, and attended by Governor Terry McAuliffe, state and local officials, and plant management staff, including director Jeanie Grandstaff, deputy director Matt Ellinghaus, and operations manager Harold Walker.

“We are delighted to celebrate the progress of this unique design/build project designed to provide a higher quality system at a faster pace with reduced risk and smaller budget,” said Mark Fosshage, president and CEO of WWW. “We are confident that the combination of the MBBR and DAF technologies will bring the facility’s treatment levels to the future targets while being very robust against the harder to degrade industrial wastewater sources being treated.”

HRWTF is a secondary wastewater treatment plant that currently treats an annual average flow of approximately 27 million gallons per day of combined wastewater from local industries and domestic sources. The HRWTW project was developed under a public/private partnership between the City of Hopewell, and the team of HDR Engineering, PC Construction, Heyward Inc., and World Water Works, Inc.
