Project summary
This project will carry out biological treatment of sewage to rid it from nitrogen and phosphorous at the sewage treatment facility in Kamensk-Uralsky by introducing additional treatment techniques; monitor dissolved oxygen content by installing devices M COM 253 made by Endress-Hauser Liguisys; promote new technology on areas of SUAL presence among for stakeholders and the public; and cover the project activities and its positive impact on public health in the local media.
Location
Kamensk-Uralsky, Krasnogorsky Raion, Sverdlovskaya Oblast
Anticipated results
Nitrates content in discharged sewage will decrease by 135 t/year and phosphorus content in discharged sewage will decrease by 23 t/year; nitrogen concentration in treated water will drop from 10-12 mg/l to 5-6 mg/l and phosphorous concentration - from 2.2 mg/l to 0.9-1.0 mg/l (by 55-60%); and the overall hazardous impact on the natural complex of Iset River will be decreased.

Project Outcomes (September 2006)

Organization: Kamensk-Uralsky Production and Technical Affiliation of the Housing and Communal Service, a municipal unitary enterprise
This project carried out contract supervision and adjustment of an automatic system for monitoring the content of dissolved oxygen in aeration tanks at the municipal sewage treatment facilities that are managed by the grantee organization.

The grantee organization conducts regular educational excursions for school students to the city’s treatment facilities where they become acquainted with new treatment methods and water-saving techniques

The newly installed operational monitoring devices allow reducing the concentrations of nitrogen compounds by 60% and phosphorus compounds by 80% in discharged sewage
