Priorities
First-of-its-kind water treatment achieving zero discharge and full reuse
Simplot set ambitious zero discharge goals: no water discharged to streams or sewers, with treated water ready for food production reuse. CDM Smith was brought in to deliver an innovative water treatment plant in 1 year using design-build delivery. The system now returns 1.7 million gallons to EPA drinking water standards.
Innovative spray evaporation
Up to 320,000 gallons of RO brine are evaporated daily using spray technology with a minimal footprint.
