Expansion works Overschelde sewage treatment plant by Verhoeve Belgium

Aquafin in Flanders faces large-scale renovations and new construction projects at its sewage treatment plants in the coming years. Various projects of various kinds have already been carried out or are in progress by Verhoeve.

In Overschelde, we were part of the team realizing the expansion of the installation to increase capacity. Here Verhoeve was responsible for the electrical and water engineering work.

Initially, we realized new additional influent jacks here as well as a post-sedimentation tank. In addition, we installed a new low voltage building and realized a completely new aeration basin. For this, new lifting aeration frames were installed to ensure sufficient oxygen in the water to be treated via fine-bubble aeration.

For the proper operation of the plant, increasing the oxygen concentration is extremely important. To this end, a number of tests were conducted to demonstrate proper operation and adjust the plant.
