Centrisys Corporation, a Kenosha, WI-based manufacturer of decanter and thickening centrifuges and dewatering systems, announced that it has secured an order from Inland Empire Utilities to support a planned upgrade and expansion of its Regional Water Recycling Plant No. 5 (RP-5) in Chino, CA.

With plant upgrade and expansion design and engineering support provided by Parsons, the order placed with Centrisys consists of five custom CS30-4DT decanter centrifuges and one spare rotating assembly unit. All units will be designed, engineered, and built in the U.S. with shipment and installation planned to take place in July 2022.

“The Centrisys team was thrilled to offer the customized solution required by Inland Empire Utilities and Parsons’ engineer to meet specific application requirements,” said Michael Kopper, president and CEO of Centrisys.

“The Centrisys CS30-4DT offers the highest G-volume of any other competing centrifuges, and our customization options create a robust option for the specified feed application. Even with the customized centrifuge features, we know our capabilities will allow us to meet or exceed delivery date guidelines.”

The RP-5 upgrade and expansion will increase liquid treatment to 30 million gallons per day (mgd) using membrane bioreactor (MBR) and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection processes and will expand the biosolids management system to 40 mgd, including thickening, anaerobic digestion and dewatering, and potential food waste treatment. The increased biosolids treatment capacity at RP-5 will replace Regional Water Recycling Plant 2, allowing that facility to be decommissioned.
