Modernisation and Enlargement of the Drinking Water Plant Irsch-Treves - The second largest ultra filtration plant in Germany under construction

The modernisation and enlargement of the second largest drinking water treatment plant (WTP) in Germany with the integration of an ultra-fi ltration stage began in February 2011, after more than a year of pilot tests. Following the current timetable the WTP in Irsch-Trier will be fully operational in summer 2013. The plant has a maximum capacity of 1600 m3/h and purifi es about 6 million m3 of drinking water per annum for the city of Treves and some surrounding communities. This paper gives a short description of the Riveris reservoir, the raw water and the existing WTP in Irsch-Treves. Furthermore, the reasons for upgrading the WTP, the targets for the new plant and the results of the pilot project are outlined. The bulk of the paper will however, be dedicated to the operational, design and constructional details of the new plant.

In order to constantly fulfi l Germany’s high quality standards for drinking water the SWT Stadtwerke Trier Versorgungs-GmbH (public utility Company of Treves) is modernising and enlarging its drinking water treatment plant (WTP) in Irsch-Treves. The sole classical multi-layer rapid sand fi ltration stage currently used will be replaced by an ultra fi ltration (UF) stage. When fi nished, the WTP Irsch will be the second largest plant in Germany using the membrane technology with a maximum capacity of 1600 m3/h. The SWT Stadtwerke Trier Versorgungs-GmbH (SWT) operates all WTPs responsible for supplying drinking water to the Roman city of Treves, the oldest city in Germany. The WTP in Irsch-Treves is one of the largest and most important among these WTPs and has been processing soft raw water from the oligotrophic reservoir Riveris since 1958.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
