After much delay from Hurricane Maria, SafBon Water Technology (SWT) is shipping the ultrafiltration and reverse-osmosis system to San Juan, Puerto Rico. In January 2017, SWT was awarded a contract by Engineering Services International for the design and supply of the Advanced Water Treatment System for Puerto Rico Electric Authority at its San Juan Steam Plant. The system will produce high-quality, low-total dissolved solids water using potable city water and recycled wastewater from the power plant. The project includes two different ultrafiltration systems, two reverse-osmosis trains, and all ancillary flushing, cleaning, chemical dosing and control systems.
The system will treat 2.62 million gallons per day (MGD) of city water and power plant wastewater. This design allows the client to recover wastewater previously disposed of and recycle it to the front of the plant using chemically enhanced coagulation, ultrafiltration and a polishing reverse-osmosis step. The final 1.72- MGD permeate will feed the existing demineralization system at the San Juan plant.
