Webinar presented in English

The City of Boynton Beach, Florida’s East Treatment Plant uses conventional lime softening followed by filtration. The concern that landfilling the East plant sludge will not be a long-term option led Boynton Beach to look into alternative treatment options that will eliminate the need for lime sludge disposal. The ACTINA™ pellet softener was pilot tested at the Boynton Beach East facility in the summer of 2020. A brief history of the Boynton Beach East facility will be discussed during this webinar, along with the results from the pilot testing and the subsequent full-scale evaluation.
