For nearly the past 4 years, FM Environmental has been working together with a Nursing Home in County Meath, Ireland, to deliver a satisfactory environmental package as part of the Nursing Home building extension.
Located in a very environmentally sensitive area, with a high water table, FM Environmental, together with consultant engineers, surveyed and designed a treatment system to permit the discharge of wastewaters, using Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology. The consultation process actively engaged with the local authority, Meath County Council, to ensure complete approval and understanding of the installation, operating and maintenance requirements.
Simplicity of design was one of the key considerations, without the need for complicated civil works. Having supplied the precast concrete tanks for primary, aeration and membrane treatment, FM Environmental will carry out the key mechanical & electrical installation works including the installation of 1mm fine screening, dosing and membrane suction pumps, blowers, fine bubble diffusers, chemical clean baths, controls and operating logic, final effluent pump chamber and pumps and the membranes module itself.
One of FM Environmental’s smaller MBR, When completed, this MBR will look after the wastewater needs of the 55 residents and staff members to safely discharge to a design standard of :
BOD 5mg/l,
Suspended Solids 5mg/l
Ammonia as N: 5mg/l
Total Nitrogen as N: 10mg/l
Total Phosphate as P: 0.5mg/l
FOG: 5mg/l
