WCSEE Selected by Scottish Water for Ammonia Removal

Technology from wastewater treatment specialist WCS Environmental Engineering has been selected by Scottish Water to deliver enhanced ammonia removal at a village treatment works. Tightening environmental consents and an increasing population has led the public utility to upgrade Ferniegair wastewater treatment works in South Lanarkshire.

WCSEE will provide one Hybrid-SAF™ (submerged aerated filter) treatment unit, housed in a steel above-ground container to deliver additional ammonia removal at the plant. To enable the Hybrid-SAF to be gravity-fed, avoiding the need for costly and energy-intensive pumping, the unit will be positioned downstream of existing SAF units and upstream of the site’s final settlement tanks.

“This is an important scheme which will deliver enhanced ammonia removal at our Ferniegair treatment works. WCSEE is a framework supplier whose technology will have a key role in the site maintaining compliance.” said Richard Morris, Scottish Water Project Manager
