Veolia Water Industrial Outsourcing provides sustainable solution for landfill leachate
Monday, 19 November 2007
Veolia Water Industrial Outsourcing (VWIO), a subsidiary of Veolia Water UK PLC has signed a 12 year variation to its existing contract for the leachate treatment plant at Veolia Environmental Services landfill site in Telford, UK.
VWIO specialises in the provision of bespoke solutions within the industrial water cycle utilising a Design, Build Own Operate and Maintain (DBOOM) approach.
Originally the solution provided for the removal of pesticides and thermal stripping of ammonia and methane for destruction in the biogas fuelled flare. The revised configuration caters for the conversion of biogas into electricity as a sustainable non-fossil energy for export from site, and derives heat from the generating engines to provide steam to distil the leachate and concentrate an ammoniacal solution for export as a further sustainable product.
This partnership provides Veolia Environmental Services with a disposal route for a difficult leachate allowing discharge to sewer having removed pesticides, ammonia and other non-condensable gases. This provides 750 tonnes per year of ammonia solution for re-use in water treatment and chemical industries whilst generating 2MW of power for sale into the National Grid.
Veolia Environmental Services is a world leader in waste management serving almost half a million industrial and tertiary customers in 35 countries.
Veolia Environmental Services is the UK's leading waste management company operating a network of landfill sites, materials recovery facilities, transfer stations, civic amenity sites, energy recovery facilities and compost sites.
