Suprafilt

Rochdale-based aeration company, Suprafilt, has landed a £2m contract for Deephams Sewage Treatment Works in London.

Suprafilt, who are based on Albion Road Industrial Estate, are supplying an aeration system with airmain, header pipework and control valves.

The project is currently at the design stage, with phase one expected to be completed by the end of April. Phase two should be completed by June with the project due to be finished completely by June 2017.

Suprafilt were up against two other contractors for the contract and were recommended by AECOM for the project, after passing a full technical appraisal.

Sales director Graeme Fielden is delighted as it’s the biggest job they’ve ever done with Thames Water.

“It’s a big contract which will provide ongoing work for our team for the next two years,” he said. “We have previously worked with AECOM on a project at Liverpool’s Wellington Dock, so the fact we’ve been awarded this job is testament to the previous work we have done with them.”

Suprafilt, who design and manufacture energy efficient fine bubble diffused aeration solutions, together with a range of stainless steel products including pipework and pressure vessels, will be installing the aeration system into six aeration lanes at the site in Enfield, London.

A spokesman from AECOM said: “We brought Suprafilt to the table as part of the procurement strategy and we suggested we should choose them because we have a great working relationship going back 20 years. Suprafilt are very reliable and have previously delivered lots of projects for us at the right price.”

Suprafilt works with some of the UK’s major water companies and leading industrial organisations such as Seven Trent Water, Thames Water and Diageo. It specialises in the design, installation and commissioning of both fixed and lift-out fine-bubble diffused aeration systems for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants.

The company, established in 1995, is committed to helping organisations improve their energy efficiencies and works in partnership with universities, independent research institutions and technical and process experts to remain at the leading edge of technology in this field.
