The Glenwood School is a private boarding school for disadvantaged and troubled youth. Due to performance problems with its existing lagoon treatment and irrigation system, the school hired Sheaffer International to design modifications to improve performance. Sheaffer was able to dramatically improve performance with the addition of a cost-effective filter addition. Sheaffer’s filtration design enable the facility to withstand a major upset in its lagoon system while remaining in compliance with its IL EPA permit.
