Castle Rock Water in Colorado chose Aria FLEX custom-designed water treatment system from Aria Filtra to deliver safe and renewable water to the town's residents and businesses.
Castle Rock Water provides drinking water to more than 63,000 residents in the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado, and sought to transition from its reliance on nonrenewable water sources of deep groundwater wells to a renewable water supply (surface water and groundwater under direct influence of surface water). As part of Castle Rock Water’s program to develop a sustainable long-term water supply, the Plum Creek Water Purification Facility faced new renewable source waters that required installation of a new water treatment system meeting regulatory requirements.
Aria FLEX system from Aria Filtra® performed exceptionally well during piloting. The Aria Filtra system met qualitative requirements established by Castle Rock Water’s design engineers. The system also provided Castle Rock Water with the best long-term project value. Robust system membranes allow the Plum Creek Water Purification Facility to treat water from virtually any source, which was crucial to Castle Rock Water’s success, as this is the only plant in its network capable of treating surface water.
The reliability of Aria Filtra’s membranes and quality of the membrane system has given operators the confidence to sleep easy. The sophisticated system automatically shuts down in instances of high turbidity to prevent contaminating the entire water supply, while simultaneously alerting the operators and self-diagnosing any issues with membranes or fibers. Additionally, the Aria FLEX water treatment system enables Castle Rock Water to transition from nonrenewable water sources to a renewable supply.
Case Study: Membrane Water Filtration System Brings Renewable Water Supply and Reliability
“The Aria FLEX membrane filtration system is at the heart of our flagship water purification facility. Beyond its durability and reliability, our ability to add capacity to the existing system has been a huge benefit as we expand the Plum Creek Water Purification Facility to meet the town's rapidly growing population.”
