Siteusers on Chemical Industrial Parks require an outlet for their waste water.
Whereas regulations more often require an on-site siteuser treatment it is possible to share in an Chemelical Industrial park waste water treatment.
Considering that waste water treatment requires large amounts of energy for de-nitrification and nutriciants for activation of the waster water treatment it can be advantegous to share waste water treatment as a common operation in a chemical park.
This requires a sound contractual basis and operations principles every party on the site adheres to. Deviations will likely have impact on the operation efficiency of the waste water plant.
Of cause a common operation requires a well designed waste water plant.
Sizing, energy efficiency, sludge removal and nutriciant choices will depict whether a economical feaseable operation can be achieved.
As waste water treatment is a rather rugged operation, design for maintenance and turnaround is very important in order to reduce operating costs on the longer term
From a operations and maintenance view equipmentredundancy considerations are important in order to secure installation up-time and avoid costly losses/fines to the environment.
From a management point of view a well defined critical performance factors system and reporting, will be helpfull to maintain high standards w.r.t. operations and regulatory requirements.
A well designed sewersystem and waste water plant equiped with sensitive monotoring equipment is important to achieve smooth operations within the boundaries of environmental regulations.
