Anuvia Plant Nutrients, the Florida-based plant nutrient company, and the City of Apopka have reached an agreement to reconnect to the city’s wastewater treatment facility.

The agreement came after an investment by Anuvia to start several tests anticipated to significantly lower the chemical oxygen demand of Anuvia’s discharge, along with multiple stop-gap measures and testing protocols implemented by Anuvia.

“Throughout this entire ordeal, Anuvia has worked diligently to assist the city in solving the issues they have experienced at their wastewater treatment plan,” says Amy Yoder, CEO, Anuvia Plant Nutrients. “Now that the city’s facility is under control, we believe the steps we have taken will produce the results the city now knows it needs from us.”

One of the tests is a partnership with OxSolve. Pat McGuffin, director of business development, was instrumental in bringing the company’s aeration system forward as a solution and working with the city and Anuvia on the test.wastewater treatment plant

"OxSolve has a proven track-record of solving problems like this," McGuffin says. "I am proud to be a part of making this work."

The initial testing period will last seven days, with water continually tested at Anuvia before discharging into the city’s system. It is anticipated, with positive results from the tests, the testing period will be extended as Anuvia works through other tests at its facility.

For the past month, Anuvia has worked closely with Department of Environmental Protection on a limited discharge of water at their facility under a pilot project. With the terms of that project’s agreement, the DEP is fully aware and approves of the resumption of services by the city.
