Anglian Water Services
Anglian Water’s current approach to managing bioresources involves the treatment of wastewater sludge from 1,122 water recycling centres at 10 sludge treatment centres (STCs). The STCs treat the wastewater sludge to generate a high-quality biosolids cake product for use in agriculture as a soil conditioner.
One of Anglian’s key ambitions for bioresources over the period is safe, efficient, sustainable treatment of sewage sludge to meet future demands, reflecting population growth and tightening environmental standards that lead to forecast increased sludge production of up to 173.1 thousand tonnes per annum (TTDS) by 2030.
In order to meet this goal Anglian must meet the EU’s Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) which takes an integrated approach to controlling pollution to air, water and land, and sets challenging industry standards for the most polluting industries. The IED aims to prevent and reduce harmful industrial emissions, while promoting the use of techniques that reduce pollutant emissions and that are energy and resource efficient. To that end, Anglian have purchased ten-off of the revered Jerome J605 Gold Film PPB Hydrogen Sulphide Analyser. ABLE expects other water utilities throughout the UK to follow suit. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/industrial-emissions-standards-and-best-available-techniques
All of Anglian’s 10 STCs will be equipped with a Jerome which will facilitate fast and accurate determination of nuisance odours and expeditious negation of same.
