Hayleys centralised treatment plant in Pasikudah
A hi-tech central sewage and waste water treatment plant for the
proposed National Holiday Resort, comprising 13 star class hotels was
commissioned recently.
The Rs 185 m 'Lakdiyatha Passikudah' facility was designed and built,
and will be operated for 20 years, by a joint venture involving the
Veolia Water, India and Puritas (Pvt) Ltd. Veolia Water India, part of
Veolia Water France, which is a world leader in water and waste water
services.
Puritas (Pvt) Ltd, a subsidiary of Haycarb PLC represents the
Purification Sector of the Hayleys Group.
The BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) project comprises a centralised
treatment plant, more than eight kilometres of waste water lines and
over four kilometres of treated water lines that link it with the 13
hotels spread over the 100 acres set aside for the resort.
The plant utilises the new Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR) technology
to treat 750 M3 of sewage and kitchen waste a day, and is designed for
100 per cent recycling of treated water.
"This ground-breaking project reflects not only the Hayleys Group's
and our partner Veolia Water's, competencies in large-scale
environmental solutions, but also our commitment to support economic
resurgence in post-conflict Sri Lanka," Hayleys Group Chairman, Mohan
Pandithage said. |
