Highlighted Project: Tongzhou Wastewater Treatment Plant

Looks like a scenic lake! On a daily basis this plant converts 100,000 tons of waste water to fresh water!

With the exclusive Wastewater Reclamation and Reuse technology of Sheaffer & Roland, Inc., AEPA designed and constructed the Tongzhou Wastewater Treatment Plant in Tongzhou, China.

Unlike other waste water treatment plants, there is hardly any odor or sludge produced, thereby reducing the construction and maintenance costs dramatically.  No chemicals nor bacteria need to be used.  This technology enables a wastewater treatment plant to be developed anywhere in the city.  Thus, the costs of pipes and pumpstations can be greatly reduced.  

New development districts and those communities without access to major public sewer lines (for ex. near mountain or isolated resort areas) can greatly benefit from this design technology.
