Title: ITT Supplies Lower Kuskokwin School District Nanofiltration Water Treatment Plant

See page 16. Covering a geographic area equal to the state of Ohio, the Lower Kuskokwin School District is home to a large number of remote schools. The district uses eleven ITT water treatment plants to remove high levels of strongly colored organic content from the source water. Ranging in size from 0.6 gpm to 7.5 gpm (3.3 to 41 m³/day), the water treatment plants are designed for reliability and for the harsh conditions of the arctic winter. The first three systems were installed in containers and fully tested prior to delivery, saving both time and work. Using tubular nanofiltration membranes, the water treatment plants operate without the need for chemicals other than post-treatment chlorination and membrane washing. In 2005, one of these systems won a competition for the best tasting rural water in the United States. Eight more systems were later installed on groundwaters containing very high levels of iron, manganese and organics. After pre-treatment oxidation, the nanofilters remove the organic content and clarify the water. All systems are connected to each other by a remote monitoring network.
