View Full Case Study Problem A pulp mill in Eastern Canada faced quality issues due to inadequate filtration capacity in its gravity/sand filters. In the spring, snowmelt run-off causes the inlet water quality to drastically decline at the plant’s system intake. Given the increased contaminant loading, the facility could not meet the water-flow demand through […]
