  1. A4B CIRP- SUPER PHA PROJECTSystems & Product Engineering Research for PHA Dwr Cymru Interest By: Victoria Wilson (Innovation Scientist)

  2. Summary of Dwr Cymru Welsh Water • Glas Cymru was formed just over 12 years ago with purpose to acquire and manage Welsh Water in the best interest of the customer • No Shareholders and we are a ‘not –for- profit organisation • Dwr Cymru Welsh Water is a wholly owned subsidiary of Glas Cymru • We have approx 1800 employed staff • Supply average of 815 ML of treated water/ day • Remove and treat 570ML of waste water/day • We have 832 Waste Water Treatment Works • Sludge treatment centres 2 Advanced AD sites and 13 conventional

  3. Innovation Vision The vision of the bespoke Innovation team of engineers and scientists is to be an integral part of the Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) business and become a world leading innovative water utility company. By influencing research and development of new cutting edge technology, and working collaboratively with universities, utility companies and other world class leading businesses we can develop better ways of working, enabling us to safeguard our customers and the environment and constantly deliver best value to our customers.

  4. Cardiff Waste Water Treatment Plant • Biggest Plant in Wales for WWTW • SBR plant Designed for 880 000 people • Fully Operational over 10 years • Advanced Anaerobic Digestion (THP) • Cambi two stream process • 4.5MW plant came online Nov 2010

  5. Business Needs – Project Benefits • Below are some business drivers for Innovation which supports our Business Plan, and which this A4B project will aid in achieving: • Improve our compliance performance through optimization of treatment processes and waste management • Increase our level of reuse and recovery of resources in our business • Reduce our waste in all areas of the business • Adapt and react to climate change by developing appropriate innovative low carbon solutions for the business infrastructure

  6. Business Needs- Project benefits • Nutrient Separation/recovery from Digestates: This project will be entering our stages of Innovation at level 1 & 2 for proof of concept at laboratory level and technology evaluation on an operational site to determine potential benefit of nutrient recovery of our VFA but also investigate the production of PHA’s (high value product) using existing assets. • SBR’s and relationship with polymer production & process monitoring This project will also be using the Aber Instruments at Cardiff WWTW to see the ability and benefit of measuring our SBR activated sludge biomass and also for our AAD plant biomass, which if successful will be a valuable tool for optimisation and performance monitoring, as well as a potential high value product. • · 

  7. Intellectual Property Rights We are interested in Intellectual Property, and currently internal inventions are being taken through our legal team for consideration for patent application. This project agreement will be reviewed by our legal team for the area of IP interest that is of a benefit to our core business.
