pilot plant.
The team selected sites capable
of supporting tests appropriate to
the needs of wastewater treatment
professionals involved in large-scale
design and development projects.
These included locations that allowed
research on smaller-scale applica-
tions and semi-industrial pilot plants
to be conducted. The wastewater
treatment plants selected are: Walvis
Bay, Namibia; Al Aweer plant, Dubai
(pilot plant for BOD and nitrifica-
tion); Managua, Nicaragua and The
Batumi plant in Tskali, Georgia.
Lessons learned so far…
Over the past 18 months, the research
teams have visited each site regularly
for anything up to 90 days at a time to
perform water quality measurements
and make any necessary process
amendments to the process. An im-
mense amount of data has been gath-
ered and is currently being analysed.
Further testing will continue
through to late 2015 and there's a lot
of work to be done before the teams
set to work on documenting the new
