EPS has been shortlisted for the Green Awards 2016 in the Green Technology category for introducing the revolutionary Nereda® Technology to the Irish wastewater treatment market.    This award recognises technologies that have made a positive contribution to the environment.

The introduction of the Nereda® process represents a significant and evolutionary step in wastewater treatment technology.  Nereda® combines the treatment characteristics of granular biomass in highly automated sequencing batch reactors, resulting in reductions in footprint, costs, electricity, sludge production, chemical consumption and improved environmental compliance and robustness compared with established wastewater treatment technologies.

EPS as the licensee for Nereda® in Ireland have a co-operation agreement with the global engineering consultancy, Royal HaskoningDHV for the delivery of Nereda in Ireland.  To date, the EPS/Royal HaskoningDHV partnership has successfully delivered the wastewater treatment plants both in Clonakilty and Carrigtwohill and are currently completing a plant at Cork Lower Harbour.

EPS is delighted to have made the shortlist in this very competitive category.  The winner will be announced at the gala awards ceremony on Thursday, April 14th at the DoubleTree by Hilton Dublin.
