Effluent Treatment Plant

Dornoch Firth

ARL Consulting were commissioned to evaluate technical and commercial options for effluent treatment at both of the Glenmorangie whisky distilleries at Tain and Ardbeg, on the Isle of Islay.

This initial feasibility study resulted in the selection of the Tain distillery to be the site for a state of the art anaerobic digestion plant.

ARL Consulting undertook detailed design for the effluent plant and prepared a detailed specification and contract documentation, allowing the project to be tendered on the open market.

ARL undertook detailed negotiation with SEPA to determine the required effluent quality to allow discharge of high quality treated effluent to the Dornoch Firth. The AD plant included beneficial use of the methane in a dedicated biogas boiler to allow displacement of heavy fuel oil.
