Orenco Launches PrelosTM, the Next Step in Sewer Evolution
SUTHERLIN, ORE., September 16, 2019 — Orenco Orenco Systems® will launch the Prelos™ Processor at the Water Environment Federation’s Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC), held September 21st - 25th at Chicago’s McCormick Place. An array of Orenco’s other leading-edge products in Wastewater Collection & Treatment, Composites, and Controls will also be on display at Booth #2239.
The Prelos Processor is the core of the Prelos Wastewater Collection System, a liquid-only (effluent) sewer technology that allows for smaller, lower-cost treatment plants. “Prelos is based on Orenco’s more than forty years of experience in offering proven community sewer solutions” says Blake Johnston, Orenco’s Sales Manager for Wastewater Products. The Prelos Processor is a complete, high-quality package of compatible, long-lifespan components. One of those components is Orenco’s new ClickTight connection system, which allows the quick connection of one pump and up to four floats to a control panel while guarding against moisture and corrosion.
The Prelos Processor makes it easy to specify, install, operate, and maintain a Prelos Wastewater Collection System, a system that boasts low initial capital costs through the use of small-diameter sewer lines that follow the grade of the land and can typically be installed with light equipment. The system’s ease of maintenance also means lower life-cycle costs.
In the category of wastewater treatment, Orenco will feature a full-size cutaway of an AdvanTex AX-Max, a recirculating packed-bed filter with a highly efficient, engineered textile media. A recipient of WEF’s 2011 “Innovative Technology Award,” AdvanTex is valued for its reliability, small footprint, and low maintenance requirements. And AdvanTex operators don’t need extensive or complicated training.
Rounding out the wastewater treatment product line, Orenco will also display its moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBRd), a compact, pre-plumbed denitrification system built for applications with stringent total nitrogen limits. Its modular design and accessibility make it easy to install, operate, and maintain.
Orenco Composites™ (orencocomposites.com), a division of Orenco Systems, will showcase its virtually maintenance-free DuraFiber™ building. These pre-packaged buildings are ultra-strong – yet lightweight – and come with a variety of special options (like windows, heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation systems) that make life easier for busy engineers.
DuraFiber buildings are designed not to leak, warp, crack, or splinter. And they won’t rot or rust, either, because no wood or steel is used in their construction. DuraFiber buildings are a hassle-free, custom-building solution, allowing engineers to focus on more challenging design issues.
New this year, Orenco Controls™ (orencocontrols.com) will introduce the Standard TCOM (STCOM) panel, which remotely monitors and controls treatment systems with real-time efficiency while remaining invisible to the public. The STCOM has easy-to-use software and allows operators to access and monitor systems from any web browser, whether on a smartphone, desktop, or laptop. It currently supports Orenco’s AdvanTex Treatment Systems but will soon be expanded to a wider variety of applications.
Orenco Controls will also feature a selection of its industrial control panels, showcasing their various control and monitoring capabilities. First off is a stand-alone OLS Series panel with logic controller and user-friendly interface graphics that make it easy to operate. OLS Control Panels come with either integrated starters (an economical choice) or variable-frequency drives (VFDs), which optimize system operation. These panels are ideal for a variety of pumping applications, including lift stations, water boosting, stormwater pump stations, dewatering, and sludge pumping.
A second OLS panel will be located inside the DuraFiber building with the VFDs mounted on an inside wall, a method that eliminates heat rise and maintains the integrity of the electrical control system. A third OLS panel will also be displayed inside the DuraFiber enclosure but with the VFDs behind a separate door, allowing access to the low-voltage control panel HMI (human-machine interface) while minimizing the risk of arc flash. Lastly, Orenco Controls will showcase three municipal control panels well suited for various applications.
Based in Sutherlin, Oregon, Orenco Systems has been designing and manufacturing energy-efficient water and wastewater products since 1981. The company employs about 370 people and has more than 300 points of distribution worldwide. For more information, visit orenco.com.
