All wastewater was discharged untreated into the water bodies.Slide 3:The 21st Baltic Sea Parliamentary ConferenceDevelopment of wastewater disposal system in St. Petersburg – Main tasksReduce adverse impact on the environmentProvide reliable wastewater servicesImprove energy efficiency and save energyProvide access to wastewater servicesSlide 5:“Hot Spots” of the Baltic SeaThe 21st Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conferenceby 2013HELCOM countriesRussiaSt.PetersburgVodokanal of St.PetersburgVodokanal of St.PetersburgVodokanal of St.PetersburgSlide 6:Clean Baltic Sea – Our Common HomeThe 21st Baltic Sea Parliamentary ConferenceSolving the eutrophication problem (pollution of the marine environment with blue-green algae) is one of the major environmental tasks for the Baltic Sea countries.Most European countries apply a well-known chemical tertiary treatment method to ensure enhanced phosphorus removal.John Nurminen Foundation offered its assistance for implementing this technology in St.Petersburg.Slide 7:Growth of wastewater treatment volumesThe 21st Baltic Sea Parliamentary ConferenceCWWTPNWWTPSWWWTPMTS - main tunnel sewerConstructionof the MTS.Phase 1Closure of untreated wastewater discharges along the Okhta River and in Petrogradsky district.
