Black & Veatch to investigate Tai Po Sewage Treatment Works upgrade

KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 -- The Drainage Services Department (DSD) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has selected Black & Veatch to conduct a three-year investigation into upgrading the Tai Po Sewage Treatment Works (STW).

According to a statement, Hong Kong is improving resource efficiency, meeting resource recovery targets, while optimising infrastructure lifecycle opportunities.

“Black & Veatch is committed to support our clients, like DSD, through infrastructure lifecycle opportunities. Black & Veatch specialises in the design of integrated wastewater treatment and resource recovery facilities,” said Black & Veatch Asia North Managing Director, Andy Kwok.

“Our professionals have worked on many advanced STW projects worldwide which required innovative approaches to overcome constraints that are similar to those in Tai Po STW.”

One objective of the Tai Po STW upgrade is to increase the capacity of sewage treatment, biosolids management, energy recovery and sewage discharge disposal to support the housing and economic needs of the Tai Po District.

Black & Veatch is tasked to provide review, site investigation, impact assessments and preliminary design for the upgrading of Tai Po STW.

Core innovations that will be assessed for the Tai Po STW upgrade include uncertainty-based dynamic process modelling, low-energy solutions and high solids digestion.

Black & Veatch is a world leader in the design, construction, testing, start up, commissioning, and operation of advanced sewage treatment facilities. More details at  www.bv.com.
