EchoWater Biological Nutrient Removal

The Biological Nutrient Removal project at the EchoWater Facility provided a critical upgrade to the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, improving water quality and protecting the Sacramento River. FlatironDragados led the construction of this advanced system, which augments traditional wastewater treatments by removing excess nitrogen and phosphorus to meet strict environmental regulations and support regional sustainability.

Key features:

• Advanced biological nutrient removal system to reduce nutrient levels in treated water
• Large-scale aeration basins and clarifiers for efficient wastewater treatment
• Energy-efficient processes to enhance long-term sustainability

By reducing nutrient pollution, the project helps safeguard aquatic ecosystems while accommodating future growth. By significantly reducing nutrient discharge, it restores water quality and ensures compliance with California's stringent wastewater standards.
