FIELD ERECTED WASTEWATER TREATMENT – FES Series

G WATER’s FES field-erected wastewater treatment plants offer a robust, flexible solution for sanitary and industrial wastewater treatment. Combining advanced process engineering with cutting-edge technology, the FES units are designed for small to intermediate-sized treatment applications, ensuring high-quality effluent and stable, reduced volumes of excess sludge for disposal. These plants utilize activated sludge with extended aeration, ensuring easy operation and excellent treatment performance.

The FES units range in flow from 50,000 GPD to 2.0 MGD but can be configured to meet different flow requirements based on specific client needs. Pre-designed and prefabricated for fast and efficient on-site assembly, the FES units offer flexibility to meet various loading and flow conditions. The concentric tankage design maximizes space efficiency, reducing the footprint and minimizing ancillary yard piping, thus allowing clients to optimize land use for additional needs. G WATER’s FES units significantly reduce earth movement and civil works required for installation, while also allowing for future expansion.

The modular design of the FES Series supports the integration of additional treatment processes based on specific client needs, including Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR), tertiary treatment for water reuse, and disinfection (UV or chlorination). Equipped with high-quality components, the FES plants can also be enhanced with advanced process control and automation features for ease of operation and reliable performance.

The use of bolted tank technology offers significant advantages, such as fast and straightforward field assembly, high-quality factory precision manufacturing, and superior coating. FES units are designed using Finite Element Analysis to ensure stability, taking into account the hydrostatic, seismic, and wind loads for the specific application. Additionally, synchronized jacks are used during installation, ensuring crew safety by keeping workers on the ground.
