Placement Student in FM Environmental Ltd

We would like to wish our placement student Oliver Grant the very best of luck as he embarks on his final years in Environmental and Civil Engineering in Queen’s University Belfast.

Ollie commenced his one-year placement with us in May 2021. Within this time, Ollie worked alongside industry skilled professionals in the Contracts and Minor Mecia departments gaining hands-on, valuable, practical experience both in the office and onsite. Ollie also attended new training courses which included CSR, Manual Handling and Confined Spaces to increase his industry base knowledge. Throughout the year, it was very evident that Ollie’s confidence grew, as he put new skills into practice.

We hope the experience he has gained in our company will equip him with etiquettes that are required to thrive in a stimulating and engaging environment.

Goodluck Ollie in your next adventure!

UPGRADE TO SLUDGE THICKENER PLANT AT BANBRIDGE WWTW

FM Environmental working with Lowry Building & Civil Engineering carried out a major refurbishment of the Sludge Thickener Plant at NI Water’s Banbridge Waste Water Treatment Works (WwTW). While it was a challenging project in the tight timeframe the FME site team working closely with the client NI Water and other partners, successfully carried out the project safely and to a high standard of workmanship.

This upgrade represents a major investment in the Sludge Treatment process at Banbridge WWTW and will allow NI Water to efficiently treat the Sludge produced on site and reduce costs when transporting the Sludge from site for many years to come.

The existing Sludge Drum Thickeners had come to the end of their serviceability and reliability and had become very labour intensive and could only treat 1.5 l/sec of Thin Sludge. The new Huber S Disc Thickeners are each capable of treating 6.9 l/sec @1.0% DS.

The Poly dosing system has been upgraded and automated to provide either Liquid Poly or Powder Poly Dosing and has been optimised to provide a Thickened Sludge @ 5.0% DS

OUTLINE SCOPE OF WORKS
1. Replacement of the two existing Drum Thickeners with Huber S Disc Thickeners
2. Upgrade and automation of the Poly Dosing Plant
3. Integrate the new equipment with the existing treatment processes.
4. Upgrade of the lighting to LED energy efficient lighting within the Sludge Plant Room.

The Huber Disc Thickeners have been designed to provide efficient thickening of sludge and the plant will provide reliable automatic operation. With its enclosed design and low speed operation this provides a reduction in odours, noise and airborne spray typically associated with sludge thickening. The Sludge Thickeners both use Final Effluent water to maintain themselves.

– Client NI Water
– Main Contractor Lowry Building and Civil Engineer in partnership with FM Environmental Consultant McAdam
– Design Sub-Contractors Huber Technology, PRONTO/LMP and M&M Fabrication

Upgrade to Water Treatment, Belfast Zoo

UPGRADE TO WATER TREATMENT AT SEA LION POOL BELFAST ZOO

FM Environmental were awarded the contract to Refurbish and Upgrade the Sea Lion Water Treatment process. This was to facilitate the changing of the Sea Lions pool from fresh water to saline water and to modernise the current water treatment facilities to maintain a high level of
water clarity for visual display, good hygiene and disinfection for the health and well-being of its three resident Sea Lions. This upgrade represents a major investment by the Zoo and Belfast City
Council.

OUTLINE SCOPE OF WORKS

  1. Refurbishment of the existing pressure filters which involved abrasive shot blasting and
    re-spraying, the replacement of internal pipework, the replacement of the sand media
    with AFM media and the replacement of backwashing valves and pneumatics.
  2. The installation of a new saltwater chlorine generation system to replace the existing
    Sodium Hypochloride dosing system.
  3. The installation of a new Ultra-Violet disinfection system.
  4. The Installation of two new 22KW circulation pumps, a control panel/controls and a flowmeter.

The current volume of water within the sea lions pool is circa 500m3 and the upgraded filtration system recirculates and filters this water approximately every 2 hours during the day while the
Sea Lions are using the pool while at night this is reduced to conserve energy.

The new Chlorine Generation system installed consists of a Hyprolyser® Compact 960, a water softener and a day tank and has been selected to provide automatic generation of a sodium hypochlorite solution containing 0.6%wt CL2, using sodium chloride (Salt), electrical energy and
softened water. The resulting solution will be used as a disinfection to replace the current Sodium Hypochloride Dosing system.

To assist the treatment a new Ultra-Violet treatment system was installed to reduce chloramine concentrations in the water after the three pressure filters that are produced by the build-up of organics within the pressure filter media.
