We have lined up two Field Trip options for conference this year. Both promise to be valuable, educational opportunities.
Option 1: The Bromley Waste Water Treatment Plant
Christchurch wastewater is carried through a network of underground pipes and pumps to the Wastewater Treatment Plant at Bromley. Delegates will discover what happens to anything that goes down the drain. Be prepared for a revival of your senses – this is a smelly one!
The treatment processes delegates will see include rag/grit removal, primary water treatment, secondary water treatment, solids digestion and solids de-watering/drying. The tour will also take in the powerhouse, which uses the digestion gas to make power for the site.
Option 2: The Christchurch ChemWaste Treatment Plant
