Delivering Value: Republic Services Opens New Wastewater Treatment Plant
Republic Services’ Conestoga Landfill in Morgantown, PA recently hosted a ribbon cutting grand opening event for the site’s newly completed $15-million waste water treatment plant. The plant is one of only three nationwide for Republic and took nearly four years to design and build. Fully in operation since April 2015, the plant utilizes cutting edge technology to provide the latest in environmental protection in the processing of waste water.
Part of this cutting edge technology is the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), which is essential to the treatment of ammonia and nitrogen often found during leachate treatment. “The MBR is what sets this facility apart from others,” said Gene Bonner, an environmental manager with Republic. “This plant is another tool in Republic’s arsenal of environmental protection measures.”
