Butte-Silver Bow Wastewater Treatment Plant Phase 2 MBR Upgrades The Butte-Silver Bow Metro WWTP is the largest membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment plan in Montana and the upper Rocky Mountains area. As a result of the project, the treated effluent has greatly reduced nutrient and heavy metals concentrations compared to prior levels. Furthermore, the effluent is now a resource to the Butte community that can be used to safely irrigate green spaces in the future. Construction of the facilities was challenged by the presence of heavy metals and organic compounds in the groundwater under the site. The construction approach and technology used minimized dewatering durationRead More →
