Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant
- Wastewater Treatment
- $15M in projects across nearly 17 years
- Largest treatment plant of its kind
Perdomo has performed several projects that have totaled over $15M across nearly 17 years. Blue Plains is the largest plant of its kind in the world. On an average day, the facility treats close to 300 million gallons of wastewater and has the ability to treat over 1 billion gallons a day at peak flow. Wastewater flows in from the District of Columbia and from Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties in Maryland and Fairfax and Loudoun counties in Virginia. The thermal hydrolysis process used in the digesters generates about 10 megawatts of electricity that is reused to cut DC’s electricity consumption by a third.
