The project will focus on the installation of a new front-end screening system and headworks, and enhancing the existing infrastructure at the plant. The upgrade aims to reduce maintenance costs, improve the effectiveness of the aeration process by preventing organic buildup and eliminate the odour issues caused by a lack of oxygen at the front of the aerated lagoon.
