Dartmouth and Herring Cove Plants
The commissioning of the Dartmouth plant is ongoing and continues to treat all sewage from the Dartmouth area. The design of the exterior work to resolve the foam and odour issue is now completed. The connection to the interior of the building is underway. The work is forecast to be completed in approximately two months. The equipment used to feed ferric chloride to outgoing flows has been installed and will start to feed soon to control the emission of hydrogen sulphide.
The dry commissioning, which is the running/testing of the equipment without actually using liquid/sewage, of the Herring Cove Plant is close to completion. The flow of sewage to the plant for treatment will start after the plant has been running for a minimum of three weeks using clean water and after the SCADA Pack Circuit – used for automatic emergencies shut down of pumping station - has been commissioned.
