Biological Treatment and Recycling Facility Set to Expand in Support of Landfill Diversion Initiatives by Local Authorities


New Earth Solutions (UK) biological treatment and recycling facility in Poole, England is set to expand in response to an increased demand for the processing of mixed municipal household waste, including kitchen scraps and cardboard, via bio stabilisation and mechanical recovery (MBS) technologies.


The existing facility, which is being expanded in order to process 50,000 tonnes per annum of municipal and commercial waste, will be extended to provide an additional 2100m2 floor space capacity for waste reception and preparation.


According to New Earth Solutions Director of Planning, Ted Bleszynski, "We are seeing a demand for separate contracts from neighbouring local authorities who are sharing the facility at Canford. New Earth technology is specifically designed to enable modular expansion of capacity and has built-in flexibility to process both residual household and source segregated organics simultaneously. Consequently we can adapt our services to meet local authority contract requirements and inevitable changes in the waste flow as they evolve over time."


"The New Earth technology", continues Bleszynski, "benefits from ready capability, and by being able to respond and adapt speedily to changes in market conditions, without additional cost or inconvenience to clients." New Earth recently invested over £500,000 in what it believes to be the UK`s largest and most comprehensive emissions treatment facility, comprising of wet scrubbers and bio filters. Each facility is fully enclosed, and highly efficient emissions controls are a hall mark of New Earth Solutions technology, making for no outward release of odours or bio-aersols as associated with traditional composting

AECOM (USA) has been awarded a follow-on 12 month contract with the United States Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE) to further develop AFCEE’s publically available Sustainable Remediation Tool (SRT™), which AECOM first developed in 2008.


According to Erica Becvar, head of the AFCEE Technology Transfer


Outreach Office,” the SRT serves three vital purposes: 1) optimising existing remediation technology systems, 2) planning for future remediation technologies, and 3) comparing remediation approaches based on sustainability metrics.” Doug Ruppel, AECOM’s SRT project manager, added, “Our continuing efforts with the SRT and development of Green and Sustainable Remediation (GSR) guidance will greatly assist the Air Force with its important sustainability goals and leadership.”


AECOM’s SRT team, including sub-consultants GSI Environmental and CH2M Hill, will update the functionality of the SRT™, train users, and develop an interface between the SRT and AECOM’s proprietary Remedial Action Cost Engineering and Requirements (RACER™) software solution for estimating costs of environmental projects. This will allow RACER users to benefit from the SRT’s sustainability metrics calculations.


Under executive order 13514 issued by President Obama October 19, 2009, U.S. federal agencies must continuously improve the sustainability of their environmental-and energy-related operations. This includes setting a target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2020; increasing energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction; reducing fleet petroleum consumption; supporting sustainable communities; and leveraging purchasing power to promote environmentally responsible products and technologies.

New Atex Certification of QED Landfill and Remediation Pumps


To better serve European needs for safe and reliable equipment for landfill and groundwater remediation pumping, QED has recently achieved EU ATEX factory certification of its major products. In a first for the European market, QED`s highly regarded free product recovery/groundwater remediation equipment is now available with full ATEX certification.


QED`s AutoPump® air-powered automatic pumping systems are the world`s


leading choice for difficult pumping applications, including for pumping fluids with elevated temperatures, solvents, corrosives, solids and high viscosity. Safety and


reliability have been the hallmarks of the AutoPump line since QED created this new pump category over 20 years ago. Now, the new ATEX certification makes it easier for site owners and engineers to comply with safety regulations while choosing superior quality pumping equipment from QED.


QED`s free product recovery/groundwater remediation equipment has also been proven worldwide for over 25 years for efficiency


and durability in removing floating hydrocarbon layers from groundwater aquifers at fuel spill and leak sites. QED is the first manufacturer to offer factory ATEX certification for this type of equipment.

Soil Remediation Specialists Reports Record Year SOIL STABILISATION WITH LIME


Patented Process Integrated Screening Fixed and Mobile


With Mixer


STABILISE AND CONCRETE BATCHING PLANTS Fixed and Mobile With Mixer


Nelson Environmental Remediation (“NER”, Canada) reports a record year of contaminated soil remediation via their Mobile, Thermal Soil Remediation (MTSR) technology. “We have completed our single largest run of soil treatment with a major Canadian oil & gas client recently, being awarded Prime Contractor status on what was in excess of 100,000 tonnes of material remediation”, said Darryl Nelson, President and CEO of NER. In addition, NER has been awarded a contract in the Province of Saskatchewan, bringing NER back to the region after a 9-year hiatus. “It is very encouraging for our business to receive substantial support from both the Province of Saskatchewan and more-recently, the Province of British Columbia in employing our technology”, said Darryl. “We have additional plans for authorisations in both Quebec and Ontario this year, rounding out our capability to complete projects Canada-wide. From an equipment standpoint, we have finished our proprietary Ambient Desorption Unit (ADU) and, will bring on-line our 3rd thermal desorption system later this fall”. During fiscal 2010, NER is poised to have a record year of revenues and project completion successes, now in its 16th year of business. As a result of this continued growth NER are also looking to expand and open up European office in France.

Succeeding in Challenging Times: an International Approach to Brownfield Projects


Ciria’s much awaited annual contaminated land conference is back and this year, it is being held at the historical American centre, in the heart of the city of London on 14th October.


The construction sector in the UK and overseas has been hard hit by the current global economic crisis. However, major land


Rue des Tilleuls 37b 7740 WARCOING-PECQ BELGIUM


regeneration projects around the world continue to develop, among many examples, projects associated with the 2012 Games in London and the Commonwealth Games in 2014 in Glasgow are progressing well.


The concern today is securing funds for socially important regeneration projects and being able to plan and deliver these projects


effectively. Banks and financial nstitutions have changed their business risk exposure profiles and are not supporting projects as they have done in the past.

Fortunately new funding sources such as those provided by the newly established Homes and Communities Agency on affordable


housing, have contributed to making a positive impact on the industry. Opportunities for British contaminated land professionals on overseas land regeneration projects provide continuity for organisations but there remains the need to understand prevailing funding streams.


The globally-focused conference brought to you by CIRIA will highlight the planning and delivery of some of the major land


regeneration projects in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Far East. It aims to guide land regeneration professionals worldwide on how to secure funding, and provide them with methods to gain more efficiency and competitiveness in schemes across the UK and overseas.
