摘要

The heart of the Lenox Water Treatment Plant (LWTP) is an award-winning SANDFLOAT package plant consisting of chemical feeding, flocculation dissolved air flotation, and automatic backwash filtration. The plant was designed in October 1981 and constructed in May 1982, by Krofta Engineering Corporation (KEC). In this report, the Lenox water resources system, water quality, SANDFLOAT plant design and construction are introduced; the start-up and operational data from May 21, 1982 to January 9, 1983 are summarized. The newly developed SANDFLOAT plant is the first full scale potable flotation plant ever built in America and has been proven to be a feasible system for water purification.
