Categories / City Services/Housing and Communal Services

AERATION STATIONS, facilities and buildings providing complete biological purification of the city sewage effluents with the method of activated sludge process. The master plan of Leningrad sewerage system (1966-71) provided for the building of three aeration stations: on Bely Island, in the area around Gorskaya Village and near Strelna Village with the rated output of 1,500,000; 2,000,000 and 400,000 cubic meters of sewage a day respectively. The building of the sewage treatment facilities on Bely Island (now known as the Central Aeration Station) started In 1972 and by 1984 the station reached its rated capacity. The first facilities near Strelna were put into operation in 1968, in 1972 its capacity amounted to 70,000 cubic meters of sewage a day. The building of sewage treatment facilities in the northern part of the city began in 1978, though not in the area of Gorskaya, but near Olgino (now called Northern Aeration Station), by 1994 their productive capacity reached 1,250,000 cubic meters of sewage a day. After the adjustment of the master plan of sewerage system in the late 1970s it was decided to build an aeration station in the area of Ligovo (south of Sosnovaya Polyana). The construction of South-Western sewage treatment facilities started in 1986; in the early 1990s the works were suspended due to absence of capital investments and resumed in 2000. The rated productive capacity of the first phase of the construction project equals 330,000 cubic meters of sewage a day. See also Sewerage system.
