In 2008, Napier-Reid designed, manufactured and commissioned the package Water Treatment Plant for the Mall Road, Tillsonburg, Ontario. The water treatment plant is producing drinking water according to Canada’s drinking water standards.

The Water Treatment Plant is designed to treat water from a groundwater supply at a design flow rate of 150 m3/hr. The water from the wells has high levels of Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn) and turbidity.

Napier-Reid's system has been designed for iron and manganese removal as well as turbidity reduction below 1 NTU. The system consists of three-pressure filtration vessels, chemical dosing systems, blower and PLC control panel. The system has the following design characteristics:

• Flow Rate: 150 m3/hr.
• System Pressure: 860 kPa.
• Filtering Rate: 50 m3/hr for each vessel.
• Filter Media: Napier-Reid's MD-80 catalytic filter media and anthracite.
• Pressure Vessel design and fabricated to Section VIII, Division 1 of the ASME code.
• Air scour Rate: 60 m/hr (144 SCFM).
• PLC control panel: 120 volts/1/60 Hertz with 20% additional I/O and capable of communicating through Ethernet.

All solenoid valves, butterfly valves, electrical actuators, differential pressure transmitters, level switches, magnetic flowmeter and pressure gauges were pre assembled and wired by Napier-Reid personnel.

A Napier-Reid site technician was on site for three weeks to provide supervision during installation, start-up / commissioning and operator training.
