In-House Treatment Works

In-House Treatment Works

We identified the need to reduce not only running and disposal costs, but also the Company’s carbon footprint. To do this we decided to invest in a sludge dewatering system to create our In-House Treatment Works.

Sludge Dewatering is the name given to the process of separating sludge into water and dry matter.  The dewatering process uses a combination of flocculation and filtration, with end product being high quality water and dry cake.  There are many benefits to this process and system.

Benefits to the environment

Reduced mileage and emissions as sludge is being processed on site rather than being carried to water works;

An efficient, small scale operation;

The high-quality cleansed water is reused in our recycling jetting units to cleanse drainage systems, leading to a reduction of clean hydrant and tap water;

The cake is used as an excellent agricultural fertiliser.

Benefits to the customer

Faster response rate to customer service need;

Help to fulfil environmental duties by knowing waste is being recycled in an efficient and effective way;

Help public sector bodies fulfil their obligations under the Welsh Government’s Future Generations Action 2015.

The plant was purchased in 2019 and is now fully operational.  We have a WAMITAB qualified Manager who ensures compliance by managing the permitted waste facility and operations.
