Dyes and Chemical Manufacturing Facility, Huddersfield
This former dyes and chemical manufacturing facility housed an existing effluent treatment plant which had to be demolished as part of the redevelopment works.
Due to the contamination present at the site a temporary effluent treatment plant had to be installed with a capacity to treat up to 50 m3/hr of contaminated waters.
The replacement plant was designed and built in a modular design in order that it could be installed, commissioned and be fully operational within 24 hours of the existing plant being taken out of service.
