VISIT HIGHTLIGHTS
Yuen Long Sewage Treatment Works (Yuen Long STW), situated at the
North-west of New Territories, is a secondary
sewage treatment works. It occupies 8.6 hectares of land and serves a
population of 60,000 in Yuen Long
Industrial Estate and part of Yuen Long District. The STW was developed in two stages.
Stage I was designed to receive a
flow of 53,000 m3 per day. It was commissioned in 1984. Stage II was designed to provide secondary treatment of 70,000 m3 per day. It was commissioned in 1992.
In 2002, about 30,000 m3 per day of sewage from Yuen Long Town Centre had been diverted to San Wai Preliminary Treatment Works. In late 2009, the STW received additional sewage from Wang Chau
Area, Yuen Long
East. The treated effluent is discharged via Shan Pui River to Deep Bay. Yuen Long STW helps significantly to reduce the discharge of pollutants, especially those from industrial wastewater, to
Deep Bay which is a conservation area.
There are many energy efficient measures adopted at
Yuen Long STW, such as the use of biogas to produce heat for maintaining the
required temperature in anaerobic digestion process and to generate
electricity, the use of oil-free magnetic bearing air blower in aeration
system, the use of photovoltaic panel to generate electricity, the use of power
quality and energy management system, etc. Also, an energy management system to
ISO 50001 is being applied in the STW since 2014.
