A LEADER in the rescue of industrial water has been awarded a £3.5 million contract for a waste water treatment plant at Dairy Crest in Stonehouse.
The new plant at the Severnside dairy is being fitted by Aquabio.
It will take 15 months to complete and will treat waste water discharged to the local watercourse and give additional treatment to ultra-pure quality for reuse.
The plant will have the capacity to recycle 550 million litres of water each year, which is enough water to supply the daily demands of over 10,000 people.
Matt Bardell, Dairy Crest’s group sustainability manager said: “This investment will deliver a step change in water abstracted at Severnside. It builds on our previous group wide successes in water efficiency and makes a significant contribution to our longer term corporate commitments.”
