Newterra has been awarded a new project for a 125,000 GPD (470 m3/d) MBR in New York State. The system is designed for a daily maximum flow of 250,000 GPD, and will treat municipal sewage to a discharge limit of < 5 mg/l BOD and TSS, with total Nitrogen <10 mg/l.
The system will be supplied skid mounted, with the two trains of MicroClear Membranes located in a below-ground tank. Newterra will supply the PLC control system and instrumentation for the plant.
Across much of North America, rainfall has become more than just a weather event. In regions like California, Oregon, British Columbia, and parts of the Northeastern U.S., regulators increasingly treat storms as compliance triggers. Industrial facilities are being held accountable for the quality of the water that leaves their sites—and the consequences of falling short are becoming more tangible.
The appeal of decentralized systems goes beyond just feasibility. For smaller or rural municipalities, they offer meaningful advantages in three critical areas: speed, resilience, and operability.
Industrial sites across California, Oregon, and Washington face increasing pressure to meet evolving stormwater regulations. Whether you're managing a truck yard, marina, or manufacturing facility, stormwater compliance isn’t just a regulatory box to check—it’s an operational responsibility with real financial risk.
