Fast-Track Packaged Plant Systems
Summary
One of the largest Public Private Partnerships ever delivered in the UK, Project Omega processes approximately 20% of the region’s wastewater treatment and all of its sludge disposal, ensuring full compliance with stringent EU regulations on water quality.By combining the learning from this reference application with Gee’s 30+ years’ experience in the sector, an innovative solution was devised which not only addressed the issues posed by the use of Methanol but also dramatically reduced the overall project costs and created the possibility of a “virtuous environmental circle” where the safe by-product of one process is used to replace a dangerous component of another.One of the largest Public Private Partnerships ever delivered in the UK, Project Omega processes approximately 20% of the region’s wastewater treatment and all of its sludge disposal, ensuring full compliance with stringent EU regulations on water quality.The Glycerol system, which is used for denitrification, was delivered in under 12 weeks, and utilizes Signal Series 400 stepper motor chemical metering pumps which offer an 800:1 turn down, while the Ferric systems employ Signal Series 200 EMP 3 and EMP 4 motor driven electronic pumps.The project team originally intended to dose Methanol into the anoxic zones of the activated sludge plant (ASP), however two issues made this an unpalatable option: firstly Methanol is highly explosive in nature and is a dangerous substance within the meaning of DSEAR (2002) legislation; and secondly the lead time for the design, construction and installation of the related plant would have been between 20 and 30 weeks, owing to the high level of site fabrication work required and the need for dry weather conditions to enable this.The team decided to explore an alternative approach to the use of Methanol.They are delivered to site on low loaders, and on arrival off-loading, positioning and installation are managed by Gee’s trained engineers who supervise all the final connections leaving the plant “ready to run.” As a result, site installation time and therefore cost, are greatly reduced.By combining the learning from this reference application with Gee’s 30+ years’ experience in the sector, an innovative solution was devised which not only addressed the issues posed by the use of Methanol but also dramatically reduced the overall project costs and created the possibility of a “virtuous environmental circle” where the safe by-product of one process is used to replace a dangerous component of another.### Contact Information Perceptis Nichola Balmer 01543 416060 http://www.perceptis.co.uk Click here to view the list of recent Press Releases from Gee & Company (Effluent Control & Recovery) Limited Promote Your Business Press Release Pricing Email this page to a friend
