\n J<\/span>UST three months after the opening of the cutting-edge Kruisfontein Waste Water Treatment Works, another state-of-the-art sewer plant has been completed in the Kouga region.<\/p>\n

The Sea Vista Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) at St Francis Bay was officially opened this week.<\/p>\n

The multi-year upgrade was done at a cost of R31-million by contractor Prentec and consulting engineers SRK.<\/p>\n

Tiaan Claassen, of SRK, said the main purpose of the upgrade had been to increase the capacity of the plant from 750kl\/day to 2 Ml\/day to cater for future developments in the St Francis area.<\/p>\n

\u201cSRK was responsible for designing and implementing the upgrade, including the implementation of additional infrastructure to meet the increased volumetric and organic loading of the works.\u201d <\/p>\n

He said various technologies had been investigated for the upgrade.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe eventually settled on active sludge technology, already in use at the plant, as the operators were well versed in these processes.\u201d<\/p>\n
