Scottish Water is utilising innovative new Nereda technology for the first time in Scotland on its new £21 million state of the art waste water treatment works at Inverurie.
Although it has been tried and tested at other sites in the UK and across Europe, Inverurie will be the first time the process will will be used in Scotland to reduce energy usage, carbon footprint and to treat waste water even more effectively
Work on the new treatment works is stepping up a gear from early next month. Preparatory work has been ongoing on the site of the new plant for the last few months and activity is now set to enter a new phase.
Gavin Steel from Scottish Water said:
“The work in Inverurie uses the latest technology to deliver long term improvements to waste water treatment and reduced running costs for our customers. The new treatment works will also be at a higher elevation, reducing the risk of flooding on site and helping to protect the local environment during flood events.”
The main work is taking place on existing Scottish Water land and will also include building new sewer pipework and upgrades to the existing plant. The full duration of the main construction phase is expected to be around 18 months.
The multi-million pound investment is being delivered on Scottish Water’s behalf by its alliance partner ESD, a joint venture between Galliford Try, MWH Treatment and Black and Veatch.
Keith Robertson from ESD said:
“Nereda wastewater technology is developed by the Dutch Company RHDHV and uses aerobic granular activated sludge to treat waste water to higher standards. This is the first time this treatment process will be used in Scotland at the new site in Inverurie but the technology is in place at other sites across the UK and beyond.”
