“…However, necessity for such treatment technology has been identified in these studies (Dhulashia et al, 2008, Salveson et al, 2008. In this regard, the ongoing AWT Pilot Treatment Study for the Town of Davie will not only provide a strong understanding for the necessary engineering solutions but will also help to answer outstanding questions for the other groundwater recharge indirect potable reuse studies as reference.…”

The Town of Davie, FL, is evaluating the feasibility of an upgrade its System II Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) with tertiary treatment to promote indirect potable reuse and obtain aquifer recharge credit in Broward County. Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requires the evaluation and piloting of any advanced treatment technologies that plan to engage direct recharge to the Biscayne Aquifer. Chapter 62-610, Part V, F.A.C mandates the evaluation of such technologies via a pilot study to show the compliance of the reclaimed water with groundwater recharge standards.AECOM is currently conducting an advanced treatment pilot study for the Town consisting of Ultrafiltration (UF), Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultraviolet Light/Hydrogen Peroxide (UV/H 2 O 2 ) processes. This study is intended to evaluate the feasibility of this process for compliance with the FDEP and Broward County Environmental Protection Department (BCEPD) regulations for direct recharge to the Biscayne Aquifer.

“…In addition to the conventional water quality parameters a selected list of microconstituents was monitored in the MBR influent, effluent and RO permeate during the course of the study. While the majority of the microconstituents were removed NDMA and trimethoprim were detected in the RO effluent (Dhulashia et al, 2008).…”

“…Treatability of 55 microconstituents was evaluated to produce water for IPR application in this study (Table 1) (Dhulashia, et al, 2008;Salveson et al, 2008;USGS, 2009). The following approach was used to determine the efficiency of the Town of Davie advanced treatment pilot/bench system to generate water applicable for indirect potable reuse in terms of removal of microconstituents:…”

This study presents the results of a pilot/bench scale study conducted to evaluate the feasibility for Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) via Groundwater Aquifer Recharge in Town of Davie, Florida. Advanced treatment technologies used to achieve the water quality for IPR was found successful. Treatment train in the pilot study included UF/RO/UV processes. Treatability test for the removal of microconstituents was conducted via a UV/H 2 O 2 bench scale test. Treatment processes were set up based on the requirements set by Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Broward County Environmental Protection Department (BCEPD) regulations for IPR via Groundwater Aquifer Recharge. Removal of microconstituents was taken into serious consideration due to the increasing demand of their treatment driven by the upcoming regulations and public awareness.
