The first newly built sugar factory in Russia since more than 30 years will be realized for the Tambov Sugar Co. in the Tambov region, 620 km south-east of Moscow.

HAGER + ELSÄSSER received the order for planning and realization of the waste water treatment plant. Basis for the project planning was a daily output of 12.000 t of sugar beets.

The process consists mainly of the following stages:

• Anaerobic treatment of highly polluted waste water as first treatment stage
• Biogas generation. The resulting biogas is used for energetic purposes in sugar production.
• Aerobic treatment as second treatment stage and for low polluted waste waters.

The project will, like already the planning phase, be implemented in close cooperation with Moscow-based OOO Hager + Elsässer Vostok.

Commissioning of this plant is quarter 4, 2010.
