Verhoeve active for Aquafin in Flanders

Werkt has an active role in the renovation process of intermunicipal water treatment plants in Flanders, which program is managed by Aquafin. We recently worked for Aquafin for the installation of 8 new brush aerators at the Eeklo site. Brush aerators are used for surface aeration in the aeration basin of the sewage treatment plant. (WWTP)

Implementation took place in 4 phases, each time replacing 2 brush aerators per basin. Last week, the last two brushes were installed. These brush aerators are controlled by means of oxygen measurements. And this with "master and slaves " basins. The oxygen level in the first basin thus controls the switching on of the brush aerators in the other basins. This is to avoid unnecessary aeration and to obtain the most economical use of electricity. These oxygen meters are installed on board sumps to be newly installed by us.

Verhoeve involved in drug case

However, not for its production/trafficking/use but for the soil remediation of
the drug waste.

After dismantling a drug lab (about 10 years ago), Verhoeve has already performed an excavation on the site in the past. After further follow-up, however, there appears to be significant residual contamination where the waste was discharged into the forest.
This is where Verhoeve will conduct a pilot test using Perozox® (based on ozone injection) to determine whether the substances in question (including N-formylamphetamine) can be remediated with this. If this actually works there may be a few other sites with the same problem waiting, so fingers crossed!
