Reconstruction works at Sarajevo waste water treatment plant at Butila

Thanks to best offered technical solutions and most favorable financial conditions, Unioninvest has been awarded with a great project after taking part in International procedure: Reconstruction works at Sarajevo Waste Water Treatment Plant at Butile, PE 600.000, valued 25 million €. 

We are confident in successful implementation of this project in which we are investing our experience in construction of such  facilities.

Detailed description: 

The Sarajevo Wastewater project aims at improving the water quality of Miljacka and Bosna rivers by rehabilitating the idle wastewater treatment plant at Butila and improving the efficiency of the sewer systems in the Sarajevo Canton. These measures will reduce the exposure of downstream communities to polluted surface water and improve the environmental conditions.

The existing WWTP, which was constructed in 1984, will be rehabilitated and upgraded in 2 phases:

Phase 1: Rehabilitation of the existing WWTP to re-establish the original capacity and treatment level (secondary treatment), 600.000 PE
Phase 2: Upgrade of the WWTP for nutrient removal to achieve compliance with EU standard, 650.000 PE

Identification No:  N0:BA-TR-ICB-W-01-TF055265 

Investor: KJKP „Vodovod i kanalizacija“ d.o.o. Sarajevo
The value of these works: 1,165,147.49 EURO
Plant size 5.000 IE; 10.000 IE in the final phase
Waste Water Treatment included:

Pumping station for primary waste water lifting with  two screw pumps capacity 80 l/s; automatic curve grid with adjustable time relay switching-off or manual switch-off; sand settlement track; canal with flow meter; bio-aeration basin with mammoth rotors – brushes regulation overflow; secondary settlement tank.

Waste water comes through the sewer of 400 mm to pumping station for primary lifting, where screw pumps are installed. Screw pumps lift the waste water at a certain height allowing gravitational flow of water through the plant. The treatment process begins with the grid. The automatic curve grid has been envisaged. The waste from the grid is collected in a container and transported to an appropriate disposal location. After the treatment at the grid, where waste particles larger than 16 mm are retained, waste water is transported to the sand settlement track.
