De Nora Water Technologies Elevate Water Improvements in Jackson, Mississippi

Electrochlorination technology supports safe and reliable drinking water

MILAN, ITALY , April 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Industrie De Nora S.p.A. (“De Nora”), an Italian multinational company listed on the Euronext Milan, specializing in sustainable electrochemical technologies and in the emerging green hydrogen industry, has been selected to provide water treatment through its ClorTec^® electrochlorination technology at the O.B. Curtis Municipal Water Treatment Plant in Jackson, Mississippi. The federal initiative led by JXN Water, Inc. to restore and reestablish water treatment operations, which includes infrastructure upgrades, has received federal and state funding, prioritizing its commitment to the ongoing water recovery effort.

De Nora will provide two ClorTec 2400-C systems, each rack comprised of four 600 PPD (pounds per day) electrolytic cells. The system will have a capacity of producing 1,090 kg of free available chlorine per day, enabling the facility to treat up to 190,000 cubic metres of clean and safe drinking water to satisfy community needs. The water treatment plant is fully operational and this project along with other projects will continue for several years.

“Time is critical when addressing water improvements,” said engineer Drew Zirkle, senior project manager at HDR. “We worked collaboratively with JXN Water and Jacobs to select De Nora. De Nora has a global footprint and strong track record in the United States. We believe this technology and our design efforts will help the Jackson community’s water system.”

Jacobs Engineering is JXN Water’s contract operator and program manager, and HDR is the design engineer of record on the O.B. Curtis WTP drinking water improvements. Construction services are being provided by Wharton-Smith. The ClorTec systems will be constructed at De Nora’s nearby Sugar Land, Texas facility.
