History's first purification installations appear in Vladivostok
VLADIVOSTOK, September 11 (Itar-Tass) - First in its more than
150-year-old history purification installations appeared in Vladivostok. Russian first vice-premier Igor Shuvalov and Governor of the Primorye Territory Sergei Darkin participated on Saturday in the ceremony of commissioning purification installations in the central district.
The most sophisticated technologies are used here to purify water: by mechanical, biological, chemical and ultra-violate disinfection.
Discharges will be purified during 16 hours. Capacity of purification
installations is 160,000 cubic meters of discharges a day. Water, meeting sanitary and hygienic norms, will be discharged into the sea through deep-water outlets. The discharge will be made through several outlets to prevent concentration of great volumes of fresh water in one place.
Until now, Vladivostok was the only big city in Russia, having no
purification system of household and industrial sewage. More than 300,000 cubic meters of discharges were daily run off into the Amur and Ussuri bays. The entire littoral area was polluted with oil products whose concentration topped ceiling norms 2-5 times.
Specialists registered a considerable increase in water mercury, lead, phenol and cadmium. Construction of a purification system had been already launched late in the 1980s, but stopped over lack of funds.
The project on modernizing the Vladivostok sewage system, including construction of purification installations, is being implemented in line with the preparation of the 2012 APEC summit. Considerable investments were channeled into this sphere - over seven billion rubles -thanks to the federal sub-programme "Development of Vladivostok as a centre for international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region".
Purification installations will be launched in two other districts of Vladivostok by 2012, and the discharge of crude waters into sea will be stopped completely. According to Darkin, sea around Vladivostok will be completely clean around Vladivostok in five years.
