Aarle-Rixtel WWTP, Netherlands, 2016 - An increase in sewage at the wastewater treatment plant in Aarle-Rixtel, made it necessary to upgrade the plant to boost capacity. Instead of a costly traditional expansion BWA chose a more sustainable solution.
They installed ten fine screens that retrieve 5.000kg of cellulose fibers daily. This screening process relieves the purification process and allows more sewage than previously to be handled. The cellulose recovered from toilet paper is captured in large containers and can be recycled.
During September and October 2016, SPIROGUARD® was tested at the National Screen Evaluation Facility (NSEF), Durham, UK. The screen was put to the test with screen curtain aperture sizes of 3mm to 6mm. The test procedure used for evaluating a Screening Capture Ratio value was initially developed by Northumbrian Water as part of their Screen Evaluation Programme, and subsequently adopted by all the UK Water Companies for use at the NSEF.
The Glenelg Wastewater Treatment Plant in South Australia was originally built in 1932 with a number of subsequent capacity upgrades to accommodate increasing demand. This treatment plant is part of the key infrastructure required to provide a reliable and secure wastewater service to the southwest region of metropolitan Adelaide. The plant receives sewage from a drainage area of over 9,200 hectares and is designed for annual average flows of 60 megalitres per day and serves an equivalent population in excess of 200,000 people.
WEFTEC 2016 took place in New Orleans from 26 - 28 September 2016. SPIRAC presented its solutions on an exhibition booth of more than 800ft². A great number of visitors took this opportunity to get a better understanding of our solutions. The number of visitors exceeded all our expectations and we consider our participation at WEFTEC 2016 to be a big success.

This project is an environmental friendly solution that eliminates disposal costs. We paired up a SPIROPRESS® with a SPIROTAINER® to convey, dewater and store rejected pet food.
A company of our size profits from diversity: people with different characters, a mix of personalities, mentalities, and cultures, as well as different fields. In order to continue to stay one step ahead, we are looking for people who are willing to shoulder responsibility, embrace our visions, and to take solution-oriented action.
