City of Port St. Lucie, FL
James E. Anderson Reverse Osmosis (RO) Pilot Study
Equipment used and capabilities:
Project Profile
The City of Port St. Lucie is located on the
Atlantic Seaboard in St. Lucie County,
Florida. It is a community of approximately
100,000 residents and the Utilities
Department of the City provides and
maintains a public wastewater and water
distribution system for the needs of these
residents.
Due to rapid development the City has
embarked on significant upgrades to the
water system including expansion of the
existing 4.0 MGD Reverse Osmosis (RO)
facility to 10 MGD as well as construction
of the new James E. Anderson RO Water
Treatment Plant (WTP). The James E.
Anderson ROWTP will be sized for 4.0
MGD with a build-out capacity of 20 MGD.
Both facilities utilize groundwater from the
Floridan aquifer.
To support the design as well as optimize
operation of the James E. Anderson
ROWTP, Reiss Environmental conducted a
full-array pilot study at the site. This pilot
testing utilized Reiss Environmental’s
trailer-mounted 2-1 array RO system. This
system can treat fresh water, hard
groundwater, saline groundwater, and
seawater.
Pilot testing was performed to confirm the removal characteristics of the technology and confirm compliance with finished water quality goals. In addition, process optimization tasks were completed including optimization of acid and antiscalant doses, recovery rate, and feed spacer thicknesses. Results were utilized by the City to support construction and operation of the facility.
