Thames Water - Chertsey - Case Study

• Client: Thames Water
• Solution: CambiTHP - B12

Chertsey
The Cambi THP plant at Chertsey, just west of London, England, was built in 1998 and is owned by Thames Water. It is designed to treat 8,000 tonnes of dry solids annually, which is produced at Chertsey, Leatherhead, Esher and other wastewater treatment plants. By introducing thermal hydrolysis, the existing digesters at Chertsey have doubled capacity.

On the 9th of November 2004 Cambi signed an operations contract with Thames Water to operate the THP plant for a period of 7 years with an option to extend the operation for an additional 3 years. After re-engineering it has been in successful operation since September 2005. Both Cambi and Thames Water will make further investments in the plant. This is the first operations contract entered into by Cambi AS and represents a priority business area for the company.
