Underground tanks at Lynwood Jail

 

In 1999, the mechanical contractor in charge of Lynwood Jail project decided to study the possibility to retrofit the TES of this facility with Cristopia nodules by using the existing storage tanks. In order to take a decision an expert from the mechanical contractor and a consulting engineer came to France to audit  the technology developed by Cristopia,  some facilities working with Cristopia’s technology for about 15 years.

As a conclusion of this audit, the contractor decided to choose Cristopia’s technology to retrofit the system.
