JOCKEY
As a world leader in manufacturing clothing apparel Jockey has
constructed plants in developing countries, one of which is Jamaica.
With increasing awareness of pollution control, management and
its consulting engineers turned to Cro
maglass
area distributor Harper & O'Callaghan of Montego Bay, for
their wastewater treatment needs.
Since
plant facilities are located near the ocean shoreline and protection
of the delicate reef biology is necessary, a wastewater treatment
system with high quality effluent discharge capability was required.
Several Cromaglass systems were in use nearby that demonstrated
these values - thus it was not difficult to provide the design
needed for this Jockey site.
Due
to the periodic heavy flows encountered on this type of pr
oduction
facility a Batch Process System was of significance and Cromaglass
has that design capability.
Two
12,000 GPD modules were installed with controls that enable modification
of aeration and other biological parameters, to respond to changes
in flow strength and hydraulic loading.
Treated
effluent flows to an artificial pond where it is stored and used
for irrigation of vegetation on the premises.
