Meath Wastewater Treatment Plants Upgrade

Uisce Éireann is upgrading the wastewater treatment plants in Kells and Trim to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Meath County Council, is upgrading the wastewater treatment plants in Kells and Trim, Co. Meath. These improvement works are part of a €1.2 million investment to the northeast area, which will upgrade the aeration systems at the plants as part of the energy efficiency programme. 

This project will upgrade and modernise the aeration system at the treatment plants to a more energy efficient system, reducing energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions. Conway Engineering and Company Ltd is working on behalf of Uisce Éireann to deliver these projects, with the works scheduled to commence in the coming weeks.

• Modernise and improve wastewater treatment processes at the plants
• Improve energy efficiency at the plants
• Reduce energy demands at the plants by up to 296,454 kWh per year
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Ensure compliance with Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulations 2001

1. Upgrade the aeration system at the plants, installing a fixed fine bubble diffused aeration system to increase energy efficiency
2. Install of associated brackets, blowers and pipe works and ancillary works
3. Works will be carried out within the footprint of the plants, therefore minimising traffic disruption to residents and businesses in the surrounding area

These projects are part of Uisce Éireann's energy efficiency programme which upgrades, replaces and optimises inefficient plants and processes across the country to improve our energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions and reduce carbon emissions.
