FBC Installs New MAG (Mobile Attached Growth) System at Darien Center, NY January 6, 2007
LeRoy, NY - FBC's new MAG (Mobile Attached Growth) bioreactor system was designed to add the necessary treatment capacity to a small plant, enabling it to meet its ammonia removal targets through the use of a compact, self-contained system located at the plant's discharge point. The Town of Darien Center, NY, has entered into 6-month trial with FBC to determine the efficiency of the MAG system in reducing ammonia to acceptable effluent limits. The MAG system was installed in a single day at Darien Center's municipal wastewater treatment plant in early January 2007, and will continue in operation through the July 2007 time frame. During this period, the operator will tabulate the treatment efficiency of the MAG system, giving the Company a solid set of data upon which to gauge performance in other similar treatment situations, in a variety of temperatures and operating situations.
