Village of Wolcott to Test Pilot Wastewater Aeration System
Tuesday, August 7 2007
General Manager Mark Nicodemus and Technician Barry Wright, of Acme Global, Inc. preparing pilot plant for delivery to the Village of Wolcott.
WOLCOTT - Village Mayor John Monson said the village has teamed up with Acme Global Corporation of Rochester to install a pilot plant for wastewater aeration for the activated
sludge system.
The pilot plant is a self-contained system which will fully demonstrate the capabilities of Acme Global’s Air-EETer technology, Monson said.
The pilot plant can be viewed as a mini version of a plant when operating. Global’s Air-EETer system supersaturates the liquid from the contact tanks with oxygen before discharging bank into the wastewater treatment facility. The pilot plant will be fully equipped with controls and instrumentation to provide accurate tracking and monitoring of process flows, dissolved oxygen levels, power consumption and other data. The normal regular operation of the village’s wastewater treatment plant will not be altered or upset during the testing phase. Both systems
will run side by side.
The pilot study will be at no cost to the village and should take from 30 to 90 days to complete. During the pilot study, the system will be evaluated by the village, Acme Global, an independent engineering firm contracted by Acme Global as well as Wolcott’s engineering firm, MRB Group. The state Department of Environmental Conservation and New York State Rural Waters will also be observing and making comments on the pilot plant.
Other municipalities and industries will be invited to review the process once it is online. After a satisfactory demonstration of the pilot plant the village board will make the determination of whether or not it wishes to purchase the equipment, which would result in substantial electricity costs savings, and a return on investment of just 1.3 years, Monson said.

After saying that I am proud to have been raised on a farm/industry in the village of Wolcott/Butler New york, I am devastated to view what is truly happening with the environment in this locality. Luckily my NY education also taught me a few things about waste water and pollution. Further polluting of Ontario Lake is not the answer. Has anyone taken the time or energy involved to take a drive, three miles, down Whiskey Hill Road, at around 5:oo p.m. and smell the country or test the water? Being a native of NC for the past twenty years we call this the "Smell of Money" The sound of the F15 Fighters that my husband supports is the "Sound of Freedom". The Eastern part of North Carolina is home to Smith Field Hams, Pork Producers and the most Turkey consumed on Thanksgiving. We have sustained terrific hurricanes, flooding and unseen natural disasters. We remain top agricultural food producers. Amazing. You can drive down our roads, sit on our porches and not be subjected to the over whelming smell of animal refuse and have safe drinking water. Might I suggest that before you spend any more money studying waste water treatment, spend a week in NC and see how animal waste is truly procured so that the waste does not smell up the community or pollute well water. This is done in an economically efficient way. Let's find someone who is educated to define the problem and solve the problem in an economical way before letting it get further out of hand. Gee- Wonder why New Yorkers migrate to NC?
Sincerely

If Lesser Instrumentation level and manual control could bring down the cost of your above described product and the product can be then attractive to markets like Inida ,Bangladesh,Pakistan etc.
