In Khmelnytskyi, contractors began work on installing a leachate treatment station with a capacity of 200 m3 per day at the solid household waste landfill.
The contractor will also build an access road to the facility, install storage tanks and conduct all additional necessary studies, reports the public organization "Smart Environment. Khmelnytskyi" on Facebook.
It is noted that the tender procedure lasted from January 2022 to April 2023, because the project was suspended several times due to the full-scale war. The winner of the tender was a consortium of UAB "Arionex LT" (Lithuania) and "Rotreat Abwasserreinigung" GmbH (Austria).
The message emphasized that the treatment station will work on a reverse osmosis system.
The authors added that the €2.5 million project will be implemented thanks to a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, as well as a grant from the EU Neighborhood Investment Platform (NIP EU).
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that Khmelnytskyi earned more than 6 million hryvnias in four years from the production of electricity from landfill gas, which is extracted at the local solid waste landfill.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in 2022 out of 6,000 existing landfills and landfills, degassing equipment was installed at only 26 landfills, leachate treatment facilities – at only two.
