Deleware's Justin Tanks Delivers FRPI Certified Tanks to Concord, MA WWTF
The Concord Waste Water Treatment Facility in Concord, MA was the recent recipient of two Alum and two Caustic tanks, both requiring FRPI laminating process and laminate certification. CDM was the designer of this state of the art plant upgrade, which Justin Tanks LLC, Georgetown, DE was the tank manufacturer. With such stringent regulatory requirements, FRPI was chosen as the fiberglass tank quality verification program for this highly acclaimed facility. According to the town of Concord and Waterline Industries, the on-site contractor, the luminary treatment process involving a magnetically enhanced coagulation (CoMag) system will be showcased as the first of its kind. This facility is already gaining significant attention from communities within Massachusetts and as far away as China. Installation of the FRPI vessels three stories below ground level were completed as required.

Town of Mansfield, MA Installs Ventilation System
This FRPI Certified ventilation system installed by Methuen/TMD Construction is designed to handle 2500 fpm hydrogen sulfide and other odorous compounds at a design vacuum of 10” water column. The outdoor portion of the duct has a design differential temperature of 135 degrees F, which equates to a thermal growth of approximately 0.62” from the 30” Ø drop to the 90 degree elbow turning into the farthest Biofilter. Proper support design by the duct manufacturer, An-Cor Industrial Plastics, takes into consideration thermal expansion and contraction of both the horizontal and vertical sections of 30” Ø ductwork and results in stress free operation with expansion joints properly designed and located.
