I. Metshin: “We come to the result where there will be no more silt fields”

(KZN.RU, August 14, Mikhail Chentsov). In 2019, it is planned to start processing the formed sediment at the treatment facilities in Kazan. The competition for the development of a project for the construction of a shop for thermomechanical processing of sediment took place this year. Now the design and survey work on the project is underway, according to which the technological process will be fully automated. Andrey Egorov, the director of the MUE “Vodokanal”, reported this during the Business Monday to the Executive Committee.

According to him, the product, obtained after processing, can be used for reclamation of quarries and for the pouring of solid household waste. “We will solve the half-century problem associated with the silt fields due to the construction of this shop, which will complement the technological process of sewage cleaning”, reported A. Egorov. He also added that a similar process of sediment treatment is successfully used in many countries of the world, in particular, in such cities as Berlin, Dubai, Kassel, and Heidelberg. The main advantage of the technology is reliability, fault tolerance, and low operating costs.

As the director of the “Vodokanal” noted, the planned date for the beginning of construction is 2018 with the completion date of construction within one year. “For today, the technology of processing existing sediment fields is being developed. The pre-project experimental research is under way. The remediation technology will be selected, based on the results, and a corresponding project will be developed”, he said.

“We come to the result where there will be no more silt fields. This litter has been lying on 117 ha for 50 years, and now there will be no more sediment. There will be no smell but there will be a product that can be used to fill up ravines and in road construction”, marked Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan.
