Summary
The Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant (DCTWRP) Blower Air Clean Up System (Project 6171) was built in 2017 to support wastewater treatment operations at DCTWRP, a wastewater treatment and recycling facility for the city of Los Angeles. The $6.8 million renovation installed a bio-trickling filter to remove pollutants from facility-derived air before distributing the air to downstream equipment involved in aeration, a key water treatment step.
