Wigen Water Technologies® has provided a large portion of the process equipment, including ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and oxygen degasification units, for JEA’s new H2.0 Purification Center in Jacksonville, Florida. This state-of-the-art, 1 MGD indirect potable reuse demonstration plant is currently in the final stages of start-up and was featured in a tour during the 2026 Southeast Desalting Association Annual Symposium. The UF system is comprised of 3 skid-mounted trains supplied with two different Toray modules and a Scinor module to allow a side-by-side comparison of their performance. The RO trains are 2-stage and 3-stage, designed to operate at recoveries of 80% to 85%, to compare the performance of the different arrays at the same recoveries for the design of future full-scale systems. The degasification system includes Liqui-cel membrane contactors for removing dissolved oxygen from the RO permeate. The system will maximize O2 removal, require less space, and use less energy than a conventional degas tower. The purpose of the degas system is to prevent the release of metals after injection of treated water into the groundwater.
We are proud to have been involved in this innovative facility, which will host tours demonstrating the benefits of wastewater treatment for indirect potable reuse to regulators, utility staff and the general public.
