OPCON: Saxlund International Ltd. wins two new orders for Anglian Water, UK

Regulatory News:

Saxlund International Ltd. (STO:OPCO), a UK subsidiary of Opcon the energy and environmental technology Group, has received orders for their innovative bulk material handling and storage to another two of Anglian Water’s wastewater treatment facilities.

Anglian Water is the largest water and wastewater company in England and Wales, operating over 1,200 water and wastewater treatment works servicing more than six million domestic and business customers in the eastern counties of England. With the new orders for the Marston STW and Harwich & Dovercourt STW, Saxlund has now won four contracts for Anglian Water in the last year.

Earlier this year the company was tasked to develop a system for the storage of sewage sludge cake at Anglian Water’s Thetford satellite water treatment works. This project would also include finding a solution to load the material into articulated trucks for transport to collection works, where the sludge would be then taken for further processing. An order for a similar installation at Bedford STW followed soon after.

Fundamental in winning these orders has been Saxlund’ s extensive experience as a market leader in sludge handling and delivering industry leading flat bottom silo technology.

"Saxlund is a market leader, in the bulk solid handling and storage sector, with more than 60 years’ experience across numerous industry sectors. These include recycling, biomass combustion and waste water. We are proud to be able to help Anglian Water with their commitment to reshape its business around a low-carbon model”, says Matt Drew, Managing Director of Saxlund International Ltd.
