Summary
The AlexRenew Nutrient Management Facility (NMF) is part of the Alexandria Renew advanced Water Resources Recovery Facility of the City of Alexandria in Virginia. The project was the major construction component of a phased series of upgrades of the existing WRRF plant for expanding its capacity to meet stringent nitrogen reduction limits for treated water discharged to the Chesapeake Bay watershed within which the plant is located. The project is innovative and sustainable from its inception: instead of controlling nutrients chemically, “it is the first time that nutrients loads are managed by introducing storage tanks”.
