FOCUS ON EACH DETAIL

A project on modernization of equipment at Bozsuv and Salar aeration stations and introduction of modern energy saving technologies has been underway in the capital. It is expected to not just improve quality of wastewater, but also reduce the amount of energy consumed.

Tashkent has one of the Central Asia’s most developed water and sewage systems. Sewage is carried through 2,500 km of fixed networks and sewers with almost 100,000 wells, 30 accidental discharges, 39 artificial structures.

In addition, there are 13 pumping stations that pump sewage around the clock. The collected water is fed to the wastewater treatment plant for its full biological treatment. They are capable of treating up to 1.9 million cubic meters of water per day, which fully meets the needs of the capital. The sanitary and epidemiological service constantly monitors the process of wastewater treatment.

The Salar aeration station alone is designed for full biological treatment and processing of nearly 830,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day. The application of up-to-date and high-tech wastewater treatment, which envisages disinfection and filtration, would promote water conservation and preservation of sanitary and epidemiological environment.

In order to improve the quality of filtering water treatment plants replace old equipment with modern, which will delay the smaller impurities coming from sinks, increasing the efficiency of the process. In addition, four old blower units are replaced with new energy-saving ones, which will ensure trouble-free and automatically controlled air supply in the aeration station.

The reduction of total energy consumption at the stations by 10% is another project objective. This goal will be achieved through the replacement of 26 obsolete pumps into modern energy-efficient devices.
