Upgrading of the Bergamo purification plant - Lot 1

Client

Uniacque S.p.A. of Bergamo

Application

Coarse and fine screening, mechanical primary sedimentation, optimisation of the denitrification section

Purpose of the project

The intervention concerns the realisation of Lot I of the upgrading works of the Bergamo purification plant, divided, for financial coverage reasons, into several functional lots. The purpose of Lot I is to allow the pre-treatment of the maximum rainfall flow rate, equal to about 7,000 m3/h and the second stage treatments for a flow rate of 3,000 m3/h. Subsequent functional lots will involve the further adaptation of the second stage treatments and the sludge line.

Activities

  • Technical and economic feasibility design;
  • Final design;
  • Executive design;
  • Communication to the client/manager of the works;
  • Construction management;
  • On-site presence;
  • Operational management of the areas affected by the works.

Project Plus

  • Coarse and fine screening installation without modification of the hydraulic system profile.
  • Introduction of primary mechanical sedimentation to reduce the organic load entering the biological compartment and recover organic matter to be sent to anaerobic digestion.
  • Optimisation of the pre-denitrification section to reduce the concentration of the nitrate parameter at the discharge, with alleviation of the existing post-denitrification phase.
