Filtration, conservation may be keys to bay conundrum

WINFIELD — Treatment systems in use in certain coastal areas where aquifers are shallow for about 40 years could help area municipalities comply with the Chesapeake Bay Initiative, according to Wagner Fluid Systems officials.
The company, located out of Winfield, was awarded a contract to provide a denitrification filter for a water reuse demonstration project in Cape May County, New Jersey.
Harold Neff, chief engineer, and Frank Mazzullo, project manager for Wagner Fluid Systems, are hopeful these types of filtration systems will be able to help municipalities of the area and all around the country too.
The denitrification system will allow Cape May County to reuse “secondary effluent” that has had nitrogen and suspended solids removed, Neff said.
This will save valuable ground water from being used for non-potable uses.
