Name of the Project
Glina wastewater treatment project (WWTP) – Phase 2.

Location
The WWTP is located south-east of Bucharest, in Romania.

Client
Municipality of Bucharest.

Project Description
The Glina WWTP was designed to be developed in two phases. Phase 1 has been operating since 2006.

Phase 2 will extend and upgrade the plant to reach its full wastewater treatment capacity.

The expansion works will enable the WWTP to cater for a population equivalent of about 2.4-million people. The upgrade will also result in the production of an estimated 500 m³/d of sewage sludge, at 67% water content, which is more than can be disposed of on land as currently practised. As a result, a new sludge incineration plant is proposed as part of the expansion with the ability to dispose of more than 120 t/d. In addition to these two elements, there are associated proposals to upgrade the broader sewerage system feeding the plant to reduce the ingress of groundwaters and, therefore, the load on the WWTP.
