Location: Rural Water Treatment Plant – Central South Dakota
A rural water treatment plant in central South Dakota was undergoing an expansion that required temporarily taking its gravity filters offline. The plant sources its water from the Missouri River, known for its high quality. To maintain operations, the engineering firm and equipment manufacturer decided to install temporary pressure filters.
With over 25 years of experience working with Missouri River water, Aqua-Pure Inc. recommended adding a filter aid to improve turbidity removal. The engineers and equipment personnel were confident that the pressure filters alone could handle the water without any issues.
Quick Action, Immediate Results
However, within just 15 minutes of operation, the plant exceeded turbidity limits from the pressure filters. Recognizing the urgent need for a solution, Aqua-Pure Inc. supplied the recommended filter aid within 12 hours.
The result was swift. The plant was back in compliance with turbidity standards—no extended downtime, no costly delays.
