Blackburn Meadows (BBM) STW is a Sewage Treatment Works located on Alsing Road (Sheffield), and treats waste water from a population equivalent of over 832,000 people, including several key industrial sites. It is considered one of the largest sewage works in Yorkshire.
Works were required to add a sludge cake processing capacity. This facility accepts imported sludge cake at up to 28% dry solids (DS) and re-wets the cake to about 7%DS for processing in the digestion system.
The solution included the construction of a new sludge cake import facility which comprises 1 new covered sludge conveyor and screw conveyor to a new sludge rewetting pump and a new sludge rising main feeding the digester feed tanks. A ventilation system and a control MCC were also provided. The new facility has a capacity to process 30m3 of sludge cake to the digester feed tanks in no more than 2 hours.
