In 2022, Scottish Water implemented ceramic membrane technology at the Bonnycraig Water Treatment Works in Peebles, located in the Scottish Borders. Amey served as the principal contractor, with RSE as the design consultant, utilizing treatment systems from PWNT.
Building on the success of this technology, Scottish Water’s new programme will kick off with phase 1—construction and commissioning of the Turriff Ceramic Membrane Water Treatment Works in Aberdeenshire.
