Assembling of water treatment facilities starts at the territory of the Marine Multipurpose Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka, Big Port St. Petersburg), says Fenix LLC, the Bronka project investor and developer.
According to the statement, biological treatment of Bronka port’s sanitary wastewaters will be based on the state-of-the-art membrane bioreactor technology (MBR). MBR technology features significant advantages against conventional treatment technologies.
First, it guarantees biological treatment of wastewaters due to higher concentration of biological sludge and prevention of its outflow from the bioreactor. Second, its ultrafiltration membrane guarantees high degree of mechanical treatment and bacteriological purification of wastewaters.
Pollution load of stabilized sewage comply with the requirements for the discharge into water bodies of the highest fishery category.
The facilities operate automatically with visualization of basic parameters: pressure, temperature, flow, basic characteristics of water quality.
The Marine Multipurpose Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka) is being built on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, where the Dam and the Ring Road border the territory of Lomonosov. The Bronka Complex will comprise three specialized facilities: a container terminal encompassing 107 hectares, the Ro-Ro terminal of 57 ha and a logistics center of 42 ha. Container terminal will have 1.176 m-long quay wall (including 5 berths). The length of Ro-Ro terminal's dock line will be 630 meters (3 berths). After completion of Bronka Phase 1 its capacity will reach 1.45 million TEUs and 260,000 units of Ro-Ro cargoes. In future the MMPK Bronka expansion will help increase the facility's container throughput to 1.9 million TEUs. Upon completion of the port's construction and dredging to the design mark of 14,4 meters in 2015 MMPK Bronka will be able to accommodate post-Panamax containerships and the ferries of Finnstar class.
Implementation of the Bronka project is expected to generate 2,300 jobs at its marine terminals alone.
The launch of MMPK Bronka operations is scheduled for September 2015.
