| Municipal Drinking Water Treatment Applications |
Municipalities use TIGG’s water treatment equipment all across the United States. Our experts work with consulting firms, engineers and local water authorities to design and manufacture integrated adsorption systems for the removal of drinking water contaminates such as metals, organics and solids through the use of granular activated carbon, sand, multi-media, and resins.
At our 155,000 sq. ft. ASME code manufacturing plant, we fabricate filtration and adsorption tanks up to 14 ft. in diameter. TIGG builds various industrial water treatment equipment including multi-media filters, liquid phase activated carbon adsorbers, bag filter skids, hydropneumatic surge protection tanks and pipe racks.
TIGG’s activated carbon adsorption and filtration equipment allows municipal water providers to ensure their customers' drinking water meets or exceeds EPA regulatory guidelines. TIGG can custom design an integrated filtration system to meet your municipal drinking water treatment needs or you can shop our standard municipal drinking water filtration systems:

 TIGG Engineers Add Durability to Municipal Project
A New Jersey water treatment plant needed to meet increasing demands on its services by initiating a new water filtration project. TIGG Corp.’s engineers looked at the municipality’s specifications and suggested improvements to extend the life of the filtration tanks, increasing the overall value of the project.
TIGG Corp. engineers came up with an enhanced under-drain design and recommended lining the filtration tank with a more durable epoxy. The improved epoxy provides tighter cross-linking, thereby decreasing the permeability of the tank’slining .
“Making design recommendations to existing specifications is something our engineers do all the time,” said TIGG Corp. Vice President Anthony Mazzoni. “In this case, their expertise provided a more durable and robust system for the municipality.”
The tank, which will remove iron from the community's drinking water by using sand, anthracite, garnet and gravel as filtration media, is separated into three internal compartments by internal walls. The three compartments allow water flow to continue in two compartments, while the off-stream compartment is backwashing. The system lets the water treatment plant backwash one compartment using the water generated by the other two.
TIGG Corp. delivered the custom-built, 10 foot diameter, three-compartment pressure filter in July and the municipality is currently constructing a new building around it. The water treatment facility’s schedule calls for the pressure filter to come on line later this year.
“Not only does TIGG Corp. have a standard product line of equipment for treating potable water, we have the ability to customize and enhance existing designs to meet our customers’ unique requirements,” said Mazzoni. |

 Tennessee Emergency Response
During the Spring 2011 flooding in Tennessee there was concern that the drinking water plant would be flooded cutting off supply to the community, including the correctional facility. Evacuating residents is protocol in this situation, but what to do with the inmates? The prison has access to an irrigation well for water supply but the water does not meet drinking standards for iron and arsenic. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) got involved to find a system to make the irrigation water meet drinking water standards. TIGG Corporation received a call at 2:00 in the afternoon to design and deliver a system to treat the water. TIGG assembled a custom system specifically for the irrigation water which included a clarifier with metering pumps for chemical addition, two sand filters, arsenic removal media vessel, backwash tank mixers and pumps. The system shipped by noon the next day and was assembled by their emergency contractor immediately. By the third day, the system was producing drinking water that met standards.

 TIGG Corp. Designs Multi-Media Filtration System for West Monroe, LA
After a detailed assessment conducted by local authorities, the City of West Monroe, Louisiana upgraded its municipal drinking water facility to accommodate a growing population and to meet drinking water standards for color. TIGG designed, fabricated and assembled a complete multi-media filtration system to remove solids and to process a flow of 1.7- 2.6 million gallons/day. The system consists of five separate 150 psi vessels, a carbon steel pipe rack (including interconnecting piping for influent, effluent and backwash flows), and automated (air actuated) valves to allow forward and backwash flows through the system. |
