Yorkshire Water's project to replace roofs at
Dewsbury sewage treatment works is near-
ing completion. The work is part of an £18
million digester refurbishment scheme with
contract partner MS2JV, which will replace
roofs on two concrete digesters to give them
another 20 years of asset life.
The scheme, which started in 2015, also
involves replacing and refurbishing support-
ing assets around the digesters, including:
a new combined heat and power engine for
additional energy generation from the biogas
generated by the digesters and new digester
mixing and sludge recirculation systems.
Yorkshire Water is due to start commis-
sioning the digesters in May and hopes to
process sludge and generate electricity by
July 2020.
