The plant itself, upon completion, will whirr into life and begin serving the 60,000 strong population, treating an incomparable 11,000 litres of water per second. It’s hard even to imagine that amount of water, though to put it in perspective, it will be the equivalent of filling 8 Olympic swimming pools every 30 minutes! Of course, this is going to deliver a massive boost to Liverpool’s ecological output, and construction cannot finish quickly enough.

Project Manager Lorne Large commented “It’s a state-of-the-art works and something Liverpool can be proud of. The River Mersey is in safe hands.” Reportedly, the construction process takes heritage as a predominant factor, with Large stating that if the site ever needed to revert back to being a dock, the transformation would still be entirely possible.

Indeed, the original docks were reclaimed en masse when the work began, and in their place will soon stand 16 huge wastewater treatment tanks and facilities. Since the ’80s, a time in which the Mersey was detailed as being the dirtiest river in Europe, a marked effort has been made to turn all this around, and this latest project exemplifies the extent the region is prepared to go to to ensure wastewater is treated right and the river becomes cleaner.

The news comes after a water company in Sussex stated that ‘significant improvements’ need to occur in order to keep the seas clean. With a 25 year plan in place that sees the county achieving ‘Blue Flag’ status for its beaches – the highest possible status – there’s a significant amount of work to be done to turn everything around.

A spokeswoman for that company commented “Wastewater discharges to bathing waters already have to meet high standards. From 2015 the legal standards will be around twice as high as they are now.” Whilst this news is focused on bathing waters as a priority, the wastewater output of the entire country is consistently under scrutiny, more so with each passing week, and as a result, now is the best time to ensure you don’t need to be worrying about your wastewater processes at the last minute!

So what can be done? Here at Environmental Screening and Separation we provide all the necessary equipment to put a wastewater and sludge treatment policy into place, whether you’re a utility company or if you’re a contractor requiring such services. We have a range of sizes and a large variety of individual pieces of equipment, from compactors to containers, skips and some of the most efficient processing systems available.

Give us a call today and find out how you can make your wastewater policies a priority, simply and easily; ensuring you keep well within those ever evolving legal standards!

The folks at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign conducted a study recently and have found in their results that the fresh water used in quantities of millions of gallons at ethanol plants could potentially be replaced by treated wastewater. This remarkable discovery has led to some interesting speculation over the impact this could have on the cost of ethanol in the future!

Currently, an ethanol plant producing 50 million gallons a year would require a staggering 150 to 250 million gallons of water. This is naturally a significant and weighty drain on a precious resource and in reality, it is an unsustainable system. The report itself details the ins and outs of ‘using non-food cellulosic feedstock for fuel production’, citing some of its many advantages as lowering greenhouse gas emissions and alleviating some of the cost pressure on food markets among others.

Whilst the idea is still in its early stages and undoubtedly more research will be carried out to find out just how feasible such a movement would be, should we come up with a solution, it could be one of the most significant discoveries and changes to the economy in many years, relieving such a high-pressure consumption of water and replacing it with yet another reason why wastewater treatment is imperative.

Whether you’ve already got your wastewater processes in place, or are looking to make your business more ecological, the most practical, top quality treatment solutions are but a phone call away with us here at Environmental Screening and Separation. Give us a call today on 01675436880!

The latest innovations in the water industry will be on show for visitors to see and get to grips with, whilst the main events will include a host of invaluable and exclusive seminars and conferences from industry speakers. These will form detailed discussions on what we can do to ensure sustainability and environmental aptitude for our water and wastewater programmes today and in the future. It’s not often the opportunity arises for such an industry to get together en masse and chew over the most hotly debated topics, perhaps coming to some conclusions on the biggest issues.

Of course the event hugely invigorates awareness of water issues, and ensures that the matter is put into the limelight, at the forefront of our attention. As part of Sustainability Live, IWEX will keep wastewater treatment firmly on the list of priorities for businesses everywhere!

Whether you’re attending the Birmingham NEC show, April 16th-18th, perhaps to see new technologies, to drink in the seminars or to do some old fashioned networking, or if you perhaps can’t make it this year; remember that the wastewater treatment in your business is of paramount importance, and should be addressed immediately!

Give us a call today to find out how we can help!

Of course, individual businesses absolutely must have their wastewater management systems in place, however how do you go about updating the infrastructure of an entire city? The answer is you inject a £250 million works program into the proceedings and set out plans for an overall waste improvement campaign that, upon completion, will change everything.

This particular system is designed to help the environmental conditions of the River Clyde improve significantly, whilst simultaneously controlling sewer flooding, something that has become a rising issue with recent heavier rainfall and the ever-present effects of climate change.

With safety valves installed on the River Clyde and its tributaries, wastewater will be kept under control during harsh weather conditions, whilst certain other improvements throughout the area will ensure excess surface water is removed from ‘pinch points’ quickly and safely.

Geoff Aitkenhead, asset management director at Scottish Water commented saying the investment will invigorate the wastewater competency of metropolitan Glasgow, priming it “fit for the 21st century, [it will] help protect the natural environment and meet the needs of growth and development.”

Here at ESS, we’re proud to be able to do our bit for businesses everywhere; ensuring that whilst Glasgow’s wastewater treatment will soon be at the cutting edge of modern eco-prosperity, the wastewater processes in your company can be just as good! Give us a call today to find out how we can help.

Of course, at this time of year, business is absolutely booming, though that’s nothing out of the ordinary for the Kopp family, who have owned the company for a staggering 80 years, starting up in the humble 1930’s. As an integral component of their livelihoods, facing closure was simply an unbearable thought and something had to be done.

With nearly 145,000 gallons of wastewater produced every day, an environmental risk was palpable, and with the undeniably beautiful Whitewater River in close proximity to the facility, growing concerns shrouded the future of the company.

When all looked bleak though, Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences stepped up to the plate to come charging in for the rescue just in time. Since 2001, Dr Karen Mancl, environmental scientist and professor at aforementioned college, has been working on a wastewater treatment solution, and, after many years of scrupulous tests, rigorous experiments and meticulous studies involving no end of superfluous grad students and post-doctoral researchers, a bioreactor system was finally found to work.

After implementing, the company could stay alive and kicking, with millions of dollars saved in comparison to the alternative solutions, or worse, having to shut down entirely.

Pop in a Google search for the subject if you’d like to know more about the science behind the solution, but it’s safe to say that innovative wastewater treatment certainly saved the day in the States last month; so could a treatment process save your business money, streamline your eco-efficiency and help make Britain’s water and environmental compliance better?
