The PC team released the units for fabrication in December 2020 and diligently tracked their fabrication and delivery to the project site. On Monday, the long journey officially ended. After a trip across the Pacific to Seattle and then across the country to Maryland, the equipment was delicately set on the waiting concrete pads.<\/p>\n<p>With the CHEX units, each weighing nearly 25,000 pounds, now set in their final position, work will proceed on the UV and Odor Control Facility as well as piping interconnecting the THP, the CHEX units, and the anaerobic digesters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many may have heard the expression \u201ca slow boat to China,\u201d usually referring to the longest trip one could ever imagine.
