Client/investor: Municipality of Črnomelj
Project category: Ecology and energy
Project timeline: 2010 - 2012
Project status: The project is currently underway
Description of the project
The project for the construction of the Črnomelj treatment plant includes the construction and expansion of the existing Črnomelj Central Waste Water Treatment Plant from 5.000 PE to 9.600 PE, as well as trial operation and all of the activities including those for obtaining the operating permit.
The contributing area encompasses the territory of the town of Črnomelj. Biochemical oxygen demand (COD5) is 576 kgCOD5/d, suspended solids come in at 465 kgSS/d, total nitrogen amounts to 115kg/d, and the daily dry-weather inflow is 1,843 m3/d. The technological treatment procedure comprises mechanical pre-treatment, a biological treatment stage, tertiary treatment, stabilization and machine compaction of sludge. The clean water recipient is the Lahinja River.
