On June 8, 2022, the disassembly of devices and installations in the sludge dewatering and hygienization building was completed. Under the agreement with the General Contractor, the belt press was replaced with a decanter centrifuge. In the course of works, control cabinets and inverters, feed pump, polymer preparation and dosing station, flow meters and screw feeder were also replaced.
Replacing the device will reduce the amount of sewage sludge produced at the sewage treatment plant in Łeba by 30%. The new, modern device significantly improves the working conditions of the treatment plant staff. The device, despite its small size, has high efficiency combined with low energy consumption
Construction of a station for mechanical thickening of excess sludge with a thickened sludge pumping station.
On September 6, the assembly of the container excess sludge thickening station was completed. The construction of the facility consists of two insulated and heated prefabricated container modules.
A ready-made station for mechanical thickening of excess sludge, used to prepare sludge for methane fermentation, consists of, among others: from a MIDI drum thickener with a mixing valve, feed and evacuation pumps, polymer preparation and dosing station, macerator, power supply cabinet, piping and wiring.
Installation of a photovoltaic installation
As a result of the tender procedure placed in the Competitiveness Database on September 15, 2022, the assembly of a photovoltaic micro-installation with a capacity of up to 49.9 kW was completed by EKO – ON Krzysztof Gawrońki, Piotr Walczak based in Krakow. The installation consists of a system of 3 separate installations with 3 inverters (inverters) and a mounting system in the structure on the roofs of the sewage treatment plant buildings: sludge dewatering and hygienization building, blower building, control room building and electrical switchboard.
Construction and equipment of the Production Quality Control Department
As a result of the tender procedure, on March 1, 2022, Spółka Wodna „Łeba” signed an agreement for the adjustment and adaptation of the Production Quality Control Department with Uslugi Ogólnobudowlane Transport Mariusz Glezman. Under the contract, the Contractor performed i.a. installation of sliding doors, laying floor tiles, plastering and plastering on walls, painting walls and ceilings and laying floor panels.
As a result of another proceeding, on March 7, 2022, Spółka Wodna „Łeba” signed an agreement for the purchase and delivery of equipment, laboratory glassware, chemical reagents and equipment for the Production Control Quality Department.
A very important stage was the purchase on July 20, 2022 of an automatic analyzer called AMPTS II from Bioprocess Control for testing biogas profitability. This instrument is considered a standard method for estimating biomethane production, which will allow Spółka Wodna „Łeba” to perform the necessary tests of new waste streams.
As a result of all these orders, a complete Production Quality Control Department was created in Spółka Wodna „Łeba”. Therefore, in cooperation with the Norwegian partner AQUATEAM COWI AS, in August 2022, the first attempts to study the biogas efficiency of sewage sludge from the sewage treatment plant in Łeba on the AMPTS II device by Bioprocess Control began.
