Background
Llanfaglan Waste Water Treatment Works serves the North West Wales Region. The works needed to take their final settlement tank offline for a period of over 5 weeks in order to carry out maintenance work.
The Overall Objective
During the time maintenance work, the Settlement Tank would need to be drained and a suitable alternative would be required to take its place and enable the site to stay online and ensure they remained compliant with discharge consents.
The Llanfaglan Waste Water Treatment Works required a solution able to cope with flows of over 100m³/h whilst also dealing with very slow settling solids.
Solution
Siltbuster Process Solutions proposed and deployed a treatment system that would enable Llanfaglan to remain online and continue to achieve their consent limits. The system consisted of 4 HB50E Clarifiers, 4 sludge pumps with auto timers plus interconnecting pipework for the inlet, outlet and sludge, with 2 walkways for easy access.
