WWTP Domžale - Kamnik

In the past week, the company EPA Pomgrad d. d., Murska Sobota with subcontractors GH Holding d. d., Ljubljana continue to work on upgrading the WWTP Domžale - Kamnik.

WWTP upgrade will include construction of a new aerobic biological rate of achievement of tertiary treatment by SBR technology (sequential reactors) and the construction of the input object for the reception of large quantities of waste water and appropriate mechanical pre-treatment, which will increase operational safety. The capacity of the upgraded WWTP is 149,000 PE (Population Equivalent), which means that it will accept the waste water of all residents in the reception area and other waste water. After upgrading the WWTP fourth largest system for wastewater treatment in Slovenia, and ensuring the quality parameters of treated water for discharge into the watercourse, the river Kamniška Bistrica. The quality of treated water after the upgrade will be below the legally required parameters, ie below 10 mg / l total nitrogen and less than 1 mg / l total phosphorus. The project will contribute significantly to improving the quality of the Kamniška Bistrica River and to regulate the issue of waste water treatment in the region for at least the next 30 years.
