Wastewater plant for Bakkavor

 

To help Bakkavor achieve its sustainability goals, it has appointed wastewater treatment specialist Aquabio to design and construct an effluent treatment and water recycling facility at its Cucina Sano business based in Boston, Lincolnshire, UK.

The plant, which is due to be operational from September 2016, has been designed to treat wastewater from the production process to ensure full compliance with stringent consent requirements for local watercourses. The plant will also incorporate additional treatment to high grade potable water quality for reuse within the facility.

Ben Cooper, manufacturing manager of Cucina Sano, says, “We are always working to ensure we can help sustain the environment in which we operate and one of our key areas of focus is water usage. We are looking forward to seeing the benefits of this new plant in helping us achieve our sustainability goals.”

Steve Goodwin, managing director of Aquabio, adds, “We are providing a full turnkey installation including civil, mechanical, electrical, software, commissioning, operation and maintenance. The new plant will recycle over 80 per cent of treated effluent to potable water and thus significantly reduce both water consumption and wastewater discharge volumes.”
