Shanganagh Waste Water Treatment Plant (WwTP)

The original WwTP at Shanganagh was constructed in 1984 and it was designed to

provide treatment for population equivalent (p.e.) of ca. 65,000 for the Shanganagh

agglomeration. The treatment works consisted preliminary treatment which provided

screening, maceration, grit separation and storm overflow storage prior to the pump-

assisted discharge to the Irish Sea.

Between 2008-2011 major upgrade and expansion works was carried out at the

Shanganagh WwTP by a Design, Build, Operate (DBO) contractor in line with the

requirements of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive. During the upgrade works

the capacity of the treatment plant was increased to the 186,000 p.e. with a potential of

further expansion to 248,000 p.e. The design treatment capacity of the upgraded

treatment plant was specified as 11,160 kgBOD/day and 1,345 m3/hr at dry weather

flow. The peak hydraulic capacity of the upgraded Shanganagh WwTP is 4,033 m3/hr,

which equates 3 times of the dry weather flow.

The design specification for the WwTP are detailed below;

25 mg/l BOD5

35 mg/l SS

125 mg/l COD

As a results of the upgrade works the plant provides preliminary, primary and secondary

level treatment and storm overflow storage to the incoming sewage. The upgraded

treatment works at Shanganagh treats sewage from the catchment areas of

Deansgrange, Killiney, Carrickmines, Shankill and Bray Town and its environs. The

operational and maintenance phase started in 2012 and this phase is contracted to last

for 20 years; after which the plant will be handed back to Irish Water.

The estimated p.e. (including industry) for all the catchments that are received into the

works was approximately 134,587 p.e. in 2016.

Detailed breakdown of the incoming flow for 2015 is presented in Table 1.

Average daily leachate from Ballyogan Landfill entering Carrickmines Valley sewer in

2015 was approximately 490 p.e. There is no leachate entering the treatment plant from

the Bray catchment of the agglomeration. Consequently, leachate plays a marginal part

in the loading to the plant.

Average annual daily effluent flow from the Shanganagh WwTP in the year 2015 was

33,383 m3/day. The current flow falls below the previous predictions and development in

both catchments is minimal in comparison to that predicted when the plant was

designed.

Foul water from the catchment areas of Deansgrange, Killiney, Carrickmines, Shankill

enter the site via a 1,350 mm diameter sewer and is screened through 4 no. coarse

screens (mechanical rake screens) followed by 4 no. fine screens (mechanical step

screens) before being joined by the pumped sewage flows from the Bray catchment.

There is an emergency by-pass bar screen channel as part of the inlet works.

Wastewater collected in Bray Town and its environs is screened and de-gritted at the

Bray Pumping Station prior being pumped via a 630 mm rising main to the Shanganagh

WwTP. Pumped wastewater from Bray joins the screened sewage from the Shanganagh

catchment at the treatment works upstream of grit removal units where grit, sand and

fat, oil and grease (FOG) are removed. There are 4 no. grit and grease channels in

parallel configuration. Apart from storm events, it is not necessary to operate all units

together due to the current low flow condition. From here the flow enters and is

distributed among the 6 no. lamellar primary clarifiers operating in parallel configuration,

where approximately 60% of the influent suspended solid is settled down by gravity

separation and removed along with a substantial portion of biodegradable material

therefore reducing the influent BOD and COD content before the secondary treatment

step.

Flow in excess of the hydraulic capacity of the primary and secondary treatment units

are diverted to a 1,300 m3 storm tank, which retains the first flush flows following heavy

rainfall and prevent this pollution load discharging to the environment. The design

criterion was to hold peak flow in a 1 in 30 return period storm event combined with the

peak capacity of Bray Pumping Station. This actually only gives a retention in the max

possible flows of 5.9 minutes. Once the high flow condition has subsided the contents of

the tank is returned upstream of the primary settlement tanks to receive full treatment.

Flows in excess of the storm tank capacity overflow to the Outfall Pumping Station where

it is mixed with the treated effluent and gravity discharged or pumped into the sea via

the long sea outfall. This “storm tank to the long sea outfall overflow event” (i.e. to the

Primary Discharge Point) occurred on 24 occasions in 2015 and on 12 occasions so far in

2016. In the case when the long sea outfall has reached hydraulic capacity due to the

combination of high tide and high flow, storm water mixed with the treated effluent can

be gravity discharged via the short sea outfall (Secondary Discharge from the Works –

SW002).

The effluent from the primary sedimentation tanks is distributed among aerated

bioreactors. There is 4 no. of bioreactors each with a volume of 3,003 m3, however, due

to the low incoming flow conditions there are 3 aeration tanks in service. The treatment

process is a single sludge activated sludge process and each bioreactor has an anaerobic

volume of 613m3 per bioreactor (i.e. 20% of the overall volume), however, the process

is designed for carbon removal only and although some level of nitrification occurs

during the operation, there is no Nitrogen removal treatment at the plant. During the

secondary treatment dissolved and colloidal organic compounds of the wastewater are

broken down by biochemical oxidation and assimilated due to microbial activity of the

sludge.

The supernatant from the bioreactors enters the clarifiers for settlement before being

discharged to sea either by gravity discharge or pumped via the existing Outfall Pumping

Station through an existing 1.7km long, 1,170mm diameter outfall pipe to the sea off

Killiney Bay. Prior to the outfall, the effluent enters a large wet well with a hydraulically

operated penstock at the outlet to the well. During high tide the wet well is allowed to fill

up by closure of the penstock. The outfall pumps are then started sequentially to provide

a scour facility to the long sea outfall. The pumps discharge into a surge tower enabling

gravity discharge through the sea outfall.

The Secondary Discharge operates via the short sea outfall pipeline under high flow

conditions when the storm tanks are full and the long sea outfall have reached hydraulic

capacity due to the combination of high tide and high flow conditions. In such case, the

spills from the storm tank overflow to the Outfall Pumping Station where it is mixed with

the treated effluent. If the combination of storm water and treated effluent flows

entering the Outfall Pumping Station reach the capacity of the primary discharge point

(i.e. the long sea outfall pipeline), flows will overflow through a high level overflow weir

to the short sea outfall and gravity discharged to the sea. This occasional discharge via

the short sea outfall pipeline contains some treated effluent along with storm water spills

from the storm water holding tank, therefore classified as a secondary discharge. The

short sea outfall was constructed ca. 1984 and is a 1,620mm OD steel pipe with

reinforced concrete protection, and discharges 110m from the existing cliff face just

beyond the existing works through a bell-mouth below MLWS tide level. The short sea

outfall (i.e. Secondary Discharge) operated on 3 occasions in 2015, 7 in 2014, 4 in 2013

and 2 occasions in 2012. In 2016, the outfall has operated on 1 occasion in June and 2

occasions in January, due to the extreme weather conditions. Dublin Airport reported its

wettest January since 1948 with a total of 118.4 mm (189% of LTA), attributing nearly

half this monthly total to heavy rainfall recorded on the 5th and 9th

(http://www.met.ie/climate/MonthlyWeather/clim-2016-Jan.pdf). The total discharged

volume to date via the short sea outfall was 3,200 m3 in 2015 and 4,700 m3 in 2016.

The secondary discharge is approximately 1km from the southern of Killiney designated

bathing area. The bathing area has a blue flag and had the following Bathing Water

classifications 2010-2013 was “Good”, 2014 was “Excellent” and the 2015 was

“Excellent”.

The settled sludge from the primary settlement tanks and the surplus activated from the

clarifiers is thickened, digested and dewatered on site before being taken off-site. Sludge

is being thickened on-site prior the anaerobic digestion step. After digestion, sludge is

dewatered and certain fraction of the dewatered sludge also receives thermal drying

before being removed from the treatment site. In 2015, 600.38 tonnes (total dry solids)

of dewatered sludge cake (22% solid) and 387.51 tonnes (total dry solids) of thermally

dried sludge (95% solid) were removed from the WwTP site. All sludge was received by

Biocore at the facility at Carrollstown Estate, Trim County Meath.

Methane extracted from the sludge digesters is extracted and collected from the sludge

digesters and used on site to generate electricity and to fuel the sludge dryers. Grit and

screenings are removed from site by contract and disposed to Ballynagran landfill site,

Co. Wicklow.

The entire plant is covered for odour control. An odour treatment system is at every

stage of the treatment process to filter the odours.

Corrective Actions and Repair works in the Network and the Wastewater

Treatment Plant

Due to occasional high saline wastewater entering the treatment plant via the rising

main from the Bray Pumping Station in July and September 2014, additional corrective

action has been taken and a conductivity meter was installed at the Bray Pumping

Station. If this meter reads greater that 6000uS, pumping to Shanganagh is decreased

and the flow is diverted to the storm tank for night time discharge to the sea via the

Long Sea outfall (SW019). High salinity sewage has a negative impact on the bacteria,

on the bio reactors and high H2S is very corrosive. As a result of the high saline water

content of the wastewater the MLSS in the bioreactor was reduced and the sludge

produced by the plant changed in nature and were much more difficult to thicken as the

polyelectrolyte’s effectiveness was inhibited by the saline water. The subsequent odours

led to complaints from local residents.

Manhole repair work in the network was carried out in September 2014. There were two

further incidents of saline ingress at Bray due to the work on the Dargle Flood Relief

Scheme whereby tidal water from the Dargle was allowed to enter the Bray sewer

network and was again pumped to Shanganagh. At these times, a conductivity meter

was installed at Bray Pump Station and when this meter reads greater that 6000uS,

pumping to Shanganagh is decreased and the flow was diverted to the storm tank for

night time discharge to the sea through the Long Sea outfall. This security measured is

still in place at the Bray Pumping Station should other breaches occur, however

mitigation works completed to remedy saline ingress are deemed to have been

successful.

There were several repair works on the SWOs in the network in the Shanganagh

catchment area. These repair works included the repair at the SWO (SW003) at Kill Lane

which consisted of raising the baffle wall on the foul sewer to prevent it from leaking into

the Surface water.

A non-return valve was installed on the Storm Water Overflow to the Deansgrange

stream (SW013) at Achill Road, to prevent the stream from flooding the Surface Water

system and causing manholes to surcharge. This upgraded SWO is found to be compliant

with the DoEHLG guidelines (Source: 2015 AER).

SWO SW012 was assessed and it failed the DoEHLG criteria. Significant works were

carried out to raise the weir wall and realign the benching in the manhole which did

reduce the number of spills (see attached photos below). There were 15 spills recorded

in 2015. As part of the recent upgrade works in August 2016, the weir has been raised

and the new weir is set at 380mm. This SWO is now thought to be compliant with the

DoEHLG guidelines. This Shanganagh-Bray Drainage Area Plan will verify this.

The Drainage Area Plan (DAP) for the Shanganagh-Bray agglomeration is due to be

complete by 2019. The DAP is an investigation covering hydraulic, environmental,

structural, service and operational failure mechanisms within a drainage area. The

stages of the DAP process are as follows:

Stage 1: Existing Data Collection and Study and Survey Scoping

Stage 2: Model Build and Surveys

Stage 3: Risk Assessment and Needs Identification

Stage 4: Strategy, Optioneering and Future Solutions Design

The purpose of the DAP is to use an integrated, risk based approach to assess network

performance and to identify and prioritise any interventions needed to ensure

compliance with environmental and service objectives.

SWO SW003 is considered not to comply with the DoEHLG guidelines and works to bring

these overflows into compliance will be informed by the Bray/Shanganagh Drainage Area

Plan, which will commence in 2016. SWO SW012 is considered to be compliant with the

DoEHLG guidelines upon completion of the upgrade works in August 2016. The DAP will

verify this and it will lead to any necessary works which will ameliorate any localised

eutrophication impacts related to the overflows.

Attachment C.1. (iii) Sub Catchment Drainage Networks

Four catchments drain to the existing WwTP at Shanganagh. These are:

a) Deansgrange Catchment

b) Killiney Catchment

c) Carrickmines Catchment

d) Shankill Catchment

e) Bray Catchment

(a) Deansgrange and Killiney Catchment

Flows from the Deansgrange catchment terminate in a 900mm diameter trunk sewer

which joins the 750mm diameter Killiney trunk sewer some 100 metres from the WwTP.

The combined sewer continues as 1,600mm diameter from the junction to the inlet to

the WwTP.

In the Killiney sub-catchment there are two areas which are served by local pumping

stations. The Seafield Road Pumping Station (NGR 326031E, 224008N) deals with a

small housing development and this Pumping Station does not have any overflow

facilities. The other Pumping Station is the Killiney Beach Pumping Station (NGR

326005E, 224652N). It facilitates an Emergency Overflow into the Irish Sea via a 375

mm diameter concrete pipeline. The location of this Emergency Overflow (SW018) is

NGR 326078E, 224651N.

(b) Carrickmines Sewers and Shankill Catchment

The final section of the Carrickmines Sewer from the railway crossing to the WwTP is

850mm diameter. It joins the Shankill Sewer just within the boundary of the works.

Flows from the Shankill catchment are transferred to the existing WwTP inlet via a

525mm diameter gravity sewer.

There is one Pumping Station located within the Shankill sub-catchment which serves

the Corbawn Drive housing development (NGR 325918E, 221843N). The sewer system

of the catchment of the Corbawn Drive Pumping Station is separate therefore the

Pumping Station is only equipped with an Emergency Overflow (SW017) which

discharges to the Irish Sea via a 150 mm overflow pipe (NGR 325966E, 221910N).

The Kilternan Pumping Station is located within the Carrickmines sub-catchment (NGR

320887E, 221918N). This Pumping Station serves only a handful of houses and there is

no overflow facility on site.

(c) Bray Catchment

Flows are pumped to the WwTP via a 600mm HPPE rising main that runs from the Bray

Pumping Station (NGR 326766E, 219155N), adjacent to Bray Harbour, parallel to the

coastline to the plant. The waste collection system in Bray town is made up of 4 main

parts:

a) Main town area collection system.

b) Collection system in Kilmacanogue area, which is forward pumped into the main

Bray Town collection system.

c) Collection system in Corke Abbey, which is pumped into the main Bray Town

collection system.

d) Small collection system in Ashton Wood, which is pumped into the main Bray

Town collection system.

(a) Main Bray Town collection system

This system collects all the foul sewerage and waste water discharges in the

administrative area of Bray Town and some properties in the Wicklow Co. Co. area on

the Bray outer cross road. The system is partly combined in that in some areas of

Bray separate rain/storm waters are directed to the foul sewer system. This leads to

major variations in the amount of contaminated water that enters the Bray Pumping

Station between dry weather and wet conditions.

The general foul flows are easily catered for by the Pumping Station and in dry

weather the flow is always pumped to the Shanganagh WwTP.

In the event of Pumping Station failure (2 occasions in 2015 as per AER) the excess

water can escape via the 2 overflows at the Bray Pumping Station (SW019: NGR

328217E, 220117N and SW020: NGR 327039E, 219331N).

(b) Ashton Wood collection system

The design of this estate, of approximately 70 houses, did not facilitate gravity

discharge into the main town sewer network. A Pumping Station to deal with foul

sewerage from the estate was installed to pump the effluent to the main collection

system network (Ashton Wood Pumping Station, NGR 324623E, 217065N). It has a

storage capacity of approximately 7m3. This station does not receive stormwater, as

there is a separate system. However, the Emergency Overflow (SW023) for the

Pumping Station is connected to the storm water system at NGR 324542E, 216843N.

(c) Kilmacanogue area collection system

The waste water pipe work (trunk sewers) in Kilmacanogue and a Pumping Station

were installed in the late 1990’s. This scheme eliminated the treatment plant and its

discharges in Kilmacanogue and replaced it with a Pumping Station which forward

pumps the wastewater to Bray.

The Kilmacanogue Pumping Station (NGR 324628E, 215053N) can generally deal

with all the flows and it is fitted with a high level dual function overflow which

operates if there is no power to the Pumping Station. It has a storage capacity of

approximately 9m3. The dual function (for emergency and storm events) overflow

(SW022) from this Pumping Station is to the Kilmacanogue Stream at NGR 342660E,

215080N.

(d) Corke Abbey collection system

The Corke Abbey collection system was previously served by a small treatment plant.

This was de-commissioned in 2006 and replaced by a Pumping Station which forward

pumps the wastewater to Bray. This rising main terminates close to the Bray

Pumping Station inlet works. The Corke Abbey Pumping Station (NGR 326524E,

219596N) is fitted with a dual function (emergency and storm water) overflow

(SW016), which discharges to the Rathmichael Stream (NGR 326513, 219618N). It

has a storage capacity of approximately 4.6m3.

Description Outfall design and construction

SW001 327548E

223736N

Primary discharge outfall to Irish Sea from

Shanganagh WwTP.

The existing long sea outfall at Shanganagh was constructed as

part of the original scheme circa 1984. It consists of a 1.7km long,

1,170mm diameter concrete encased steel pipe terminating in a

diffuser section with 31 outlet ports discharging at a water depth of

20m. Under certain flow and tide conditions the outfall operates by

gravity. When gravity discharge is no longer possible the pumps

cut in and pump to a surge tower which allows discharge against

all stages of the tide. Under normal operational flow, low velocity

conditions prevail that are not always self-cleaning. This leads to

silting and partial blockage requiring purging using the pumps.

Flows excess of the storm tank capacity overflows to the outfall

pumping station where it is mixed with the treated effluent and

gravity discharged or pumped into the sea via the long sea outfall.

The storm tank to long sea outfall overflow events occurred on 24

occasions in 2015 and on 12 occasions so far in 2016. In the case

when the long sea outfall has reached hydraulic capacity due to the

combination of high tide and high flow, storm water mixed with the

treated effluent can be also gravity discharged via the short sea

outfall.

SW002 326087E

223329N

Secondary discharge outfall to Irish Sea from

Shanganagh WwTP.

Shanganagh Waste Water Treatment Plant (WwTP) short sea

outfall, discharges into the sea at Killiney Bay. The short sea outfall

discharges under high flow conditions to the sea when the storm

tanks are full and the long sea outfall have reached hydraulic

capacity due to the combination of high tide and high flow

conditions. The short sea outfall was constructed circa 1984 and is

a 1,620mm OD steel pipe with reinforced concrete protection, and

discharges 110m from the existing cliff face just beyond the

existing works through a bell-mouth below MLWS tide level.

The short sea outfall pipe was used on 3 occasions in 2015 and on

Permanent Laboratory: Category A

THE IRISH NATIONAL ACCREDITATION BOARD (INAB) is the Irish body for the accreditation of

organisations including laboratories.

Laboratory accreditation is available to testing and calibration facilities operated by manufacturing

organisations, government departments, educational institutions and commercial testing/calibration

services. Indeed, any organisation involved in testing, measurement or calibration in any area of

technology can seek accreditation for the work it is undertaking.

Each accredited laboratory has been assessed by skilled specialist assessors and found to meet criteria

which are in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO 15189 (medical laboratories). Frequent audits,

together with periodic inter-laboratory test programmes, ensure that these standards of operation are

maintained.

Testing and Calibration Categories:

Category A:

Permanent laboratory calibration and testing where the laboratory is erected on a fixed

location for a period expected to be greater than three years.

Category B: Site calibration and testing that is performed by staff sent out on site by a permanent

laboratory that is accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board.

Category C: Site calibration and testing that is performed in a site/mobile laboratory or by staff sent

out by such a laboratory, the operation of which is the responsibility of a permanent

laboratory accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board.

Category D: Site calibration and testing that is performed on site by individuals and organisations that

do not have a permanent calibration/testing laboratory. Testing may be performed using

(a) portable test equipment

(b) a site laboratory

(c) a mobile laboratory or

(d) equipment from a mobile or site laboratory

Standard Specification or Test Procedure Used:

The standard specification or test procedure that is accredited is the issue that is current on the date of the most

recent visit, unless otherwise stated.

Glossary of Terms

Facilities:

Public calibration/testing service: Commercial operations which actively seek work from others.

Conditionally available for public

calibration/testing:

Established for another primary purpose but, more commonly than not,

is available for outside work.

Normally not available for public


Unavailable for public calibration/testing more often than not.

Laboratory users wishing to obtain assurance that calibration or test results are reliable and carried out to the Irish

National Accreditation Board criteria should insist on receiving an accredited calibration certificate or test report.

Users should contact the laboratory directly to ensure that this scope of accreditation is current. INAB will, on

request, verify the status and scope.
