Yorkshire Water awards phosphorus removal contract

Yorkshire Water has awarded a contract for full-scale phosphorus removal trials at Bolsover sewage treatment/wastewater treatment works to Bluewater Bio using its high rate filter technology FilterClear.

The site serves a population equivalent of 10,000, with FilterClear being utilised for 100% of the flow. The contract, scheduled for delivery on 6th November, is part of a wider initiative with participants across the ten major water and sewerage companies, managed by UK Water Industry Research Ltd. The trial is scheduled to last for a 12 month period and is due for completion in December 2016.

As part of the National Chemical Investigation Programme the feasibility and cost implications in achieving a Total Phosphorus level of 0.1 mg/L will be evaluated. The outcome of the trials will help to determine the strategy the respective water companies implement to address phosphate removal in the future.
