ROTEC Wins Contract for Advanced Water Treatment in North Carolina

The project follows a successful pilot program that validated the effectiveness of ROTEC’s proprietary system in addressing emerging contaminants. By integrating this technology downstream of existing processes, the plant will specifically target "forever chemicals" and industrial byproducts like 1,4-dioxane, which are often found in common consumer goods. This deployment is a cornerstone of a larger expansion effort designed to eventually reach a 48 million gallon daily capacity.

ROTEC’s system operates at recovery rates exceeding 96%, a feature that significantly reduces the volume of brine waste requiring disposal. Bruce Alderman, CEO of ROTEC USA, noted that the technology offers the utility operational flexibility and minimizes the frequency of membrane cleanings. The initiative, involving partners HDR and Crowder, reflects a strategic move by the Authority to secure long-term water quality standards as regulatory requirements for nanoplastics and pharmaceuticals evolve.
