Feasibility Study in Kiev

Berlinwasser International wins contract for feasibility study for central wastewater treatment plant in Kiev.

Clarity by the end of the year
The Ukrainian capital, Kiev, intends to improve the city’s wastewater disposal system. The city administration has hired BWI AG to conduct a feasibility study into ways to improve essential services to its 3.5 million residents. That study, begun in October 2007, will lay the groundwork for future planning measures, with the aim of designing systems for sustainable wastewater treatment and sludge processing and utilization at the central Bortnitzka treatment plant.

Over the next three months, BWI will determine which scenarios and techniques would be best suited to bring the large-scale (1.8 million cubic metres) central treatment plant up to today’s technical standards. A second focus of the study will be that of identifying possible options for disposing sewage sludge produced in the past in an environmentally sound manner and for setting up a new, modern sludge-disposal system reflecting European environmental standards.

The results of the study will constitute a planning instrument for the city of Kiev. In addition to technical, technological and economic criteria, the feasibility study will provide planning authorities with the basic materials they need to arrange financing for the modernization and conversion project.
