In response to the community’s water crisis, WWT’s Executive Director Margaret Martens and Susan O’Grady, Xylem Director of Marketing, Residential and Agriculture, joined forces to develop an effective and lasting solution for the subdivision’s water needs.

For many years, maintaining efficient aeration control was a challenge for the 24 MGD Muncie, Indiana, Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF). A manually operated system combined with severe mixing-limited conditions resulted in over-aeration and wasted energy. The plant alleviated this problem with automated control and Pulsed Aeration, allowing it to satisfy the needs of the bacteria and mix basin contents while expending less energy.
