Water Reclamation Facility

Energy Optimization Upgrade of Water Reclamation Facility

Garver helped the Norman Water Reclamation Facility experience substantial labor and energy savings by designing improvements to the facility’s blowers, boilers, lift stations, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Upgrades to the blowers saves the city roughly $133,000 in annual utility costs, and the installation of a new radio telemetry system in the lift stations dramatically reduced the required manpower to monitor and respond to lift station issues. This project was one of many conducted by the city that helped it earn recognition from the Environmental Protection Agency.
