Project Name
  • Sludge Drying Plant at Clonmel Sewage Treatment Works
Client
  • Clonmel Borough Council
Project Development

Undertake a feasibility study followed by an Environmental Impact Assessment for the installation of a sludge dryer and sludge treatment facilities at Clonmel Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW). Atkins was also appointed to produce contract documentation for a design, build, operate contract for the sludge dryer.

Scope
  • Installation of a sludge dryer for sludge treatment at Clonmel WWTW
  • Ancillary work for the acceptance of imported liquid and cake municipal sludge from other WWTW’s in South Tipperary
  • Assess the various technologies available on the market which are suitable for the scale of works proposed.
Recommendations
  • Use Clonmel WWTW as the hub centre for municipal sludge treatment in the sludge management plan for South Tipperary County Council
  • The use of sludge drying for sewage treatment which is a relatively new sludge treatment process in Ireland
  • The installation of a 2 tonne dryer to produce a biosolid suitable for disposal to land and increase the dry solids to over 90% DS
Project Data
  • Full design capacity of the current WWTW is 80,000 population equivalents
  • Footprint at the Clonmel WWTW for expansion of the works to an ultimate design capacity of 160,000 PE
  • The sludge dryer involves the evaporation of water from sludge cake to produce a dried granulate material of up to 95% dry solids
