Scottish Water: Collaborate to Innovate. Site tour of Bo’ness Waste Water Development Centre

Research companies and academia have a pivotal role to play in shaping the future of the water sector. Our Wastewater Development Centre in Bo’ness is Scotland’s first full-scale test facility dedicated to supporting research and innovation in the waste water sector. Located on a live, operational treatment works, the centre enables innovators to demonstrate new processes and equipment in a dedicated and safe environment.

The centre benefits from a small-scale wastewater treatment test rig, enabling greater flexibility and scenario testing, as well as a screening area to facilitate testing at the inlet works.

All discharges are then returned into the normal treatment process giving companies unique access to live test conditions without causing risk to operational assets.

Come along to learn more about how the process works, what innovations we are currently testing and how you can get involved.
