자메이카 연방물위원회(NWC)는 영국의 거니 환경기업(Gurney Environmental)과 기술을 위한 담수화 현장을 구축하는 MOU를 체결했다.

담수화 시설의 목적은 거니의 ‘Accel-o-Fac’ 시스템이 NWC가 운영하던 기존의 라군 기반 시스템을 업그레이드하는 데 이용될 수 있다는 점을 보여주기 위한 것으로, 풍력 에너지로 전기를 공급하는 모듈 폐수시스템은 생물학적 공기주입(biological aerated) 처리공정을 이용한다.

 

 

 

The National Water Commission (NWC) of Jamaica has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with British company Gurney Environmental to set up a demonstration site for the company’s technology.

The aim of the demonstration will be to show the company’s Accel-o-Fac system can be used to upgrade an existing lagoon-based system operated by NWC.

 

Powered by wind energy, the modular wastewater system can be used to upgrade existing lagoon-based systems and uses a biological aerated treatment process.

 

Gurney Environmental said it is also working with local consultants on the island to demonstrate how the company’s system can be used for new build plants in peri urban areas.

 

“Aero-Fac can provide activated sludge quality effluent but without the high CAPEX and continuous ongoing OPEX costs associated with A/S.”
