​

The lead design engineering firm was Stantec and there are two biofilters at this facility. A unique centralized biofilter treats 83,672 cfm, while the South Primary Biofilter treats 5,003 cfm. These biofilters utilize wood chip media and are made up of 22,500 square feet of BacTee's aeration flooring system.

​

What makes the centralized biofilter so unique is that it is located within a below-grade concrete vault. At grade level, above the biofilter, is the facility's parking lot.
