Sewage Project Designed to Renaturalize the Area and Serve 2.2 Million People (Video Case Study)

The River Emscher was considered a "cesspool of the Ruhr": an open channel, extremely polluted with wastewater from coal mining and heavy industry and the feces of local residents.

HerrenknechtAG, a construction company specialized in building tunnels, was then assigned a major sewage project in the area:

10 Herrenknecht-TBMs were used to build an efficient underground pipe and tunnel system that carries the wastewater from a catchment area of 865 square kilometers and around 2.2 million inhabitants to the three central wastewater treatment plants.

This video case study explains the process in its entirety.

1. Dear STP operators.

   It is ideal to have 400km..bore area sqm..flow velocity m/s .. 

   The above data gives the derail of primary 1st stage treatment.. with HRT = ... 4 days..

   This would generate sewage gas duly vented and used.

   Next STP can be evolved as Anaerobic with media filteration in the wwt plant. can be secondary treatment.

   Ideally could have 4 days HRT for ideal benefits.

   Tertiary process follows next, aerobic for 2-3 days HRT... 

   Can the above be followed or with adaptation ..

   Well wishes.
