Nutrient Management Solutions

The main sources of phosphorus in rivers and lakes are sewage effluent (primarily from water industry sewage treatment works) and losses from agricultural land. Food waste, food and drink additives and P dosing of drinking waters all contribute to sewage P loadings. Viltra can offer a range of solutions to reduce levels of phosphorus and nitrate and assist in your efforts to achieve nutrient neutrality and secure planning permission. Where a nutrient neutrality plan, as drafted by your environmental consultant, has been agreed upon with the planning authority and the Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales, Viltra’s treatment solutions will help demonstrate that your project will not lead to further deterioration of water quality in the water bodies that are failing to meet water quality targets and thus not undermine their ability to meet their objectives.
