Uniform Aeration. Optimized Performance.
Proven Performance Through Two Decades of Operation
The Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility is one of Texas' largest municipal wastewater treatment plants, serving more than 880,000 residents throughout the Fort Worth region.
Originally commission with a BioAer® floor system for it's biofilter in 2005, the facility has continued to rely upon the same aeration floor through major operational upgrades, including increased airflow capacity and conversion to engineered inorganic biofilter media.
The Challenge
As one of the region's most important wastewater treatment facilities, Village Creek required a dependable odor control system capable of supporting continuous municipal operation while providing long-term reliability.
The biofilter needed to deliver consistent airflow across all media while remaining durable enough to support future operational changes without requiring replacement.
The BacTee Solution
Village Creek selected the BioAer® floor system as the foundation of its odor control biofilter.
More than 15 years after installation, the facility upgraded from organic wood media to engineered inorganic media while increasing its airflow capacity from 70,000 CFM to 100,800 CFM, all while continuing to utilize the original BioAer® floor system.
The system continues to provide:
-
Uniform airflow distribution
-
Low pressure loss
-
Compatibility with multiple biofilter media types
-
Long-term structural durability
-
Reliable municipal odor control performance
Village Creek demonstrates one of the BioAer® system's greatest advantages: long-term adaptability.
More than 15 years after installation, the original aeration floor continues to operate successfully despite increased airflow requirements and a complete transition to engineered inorganic media, reducing replacement costs for the facility.
