Implementation of environmentally friendly technologies in Sztynort yacht port.

About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">A self-evident innovation choice in the tourism industry now are stand-alone accommodation premises equipped with mobile facilities to reduce the involvement of service staff and the use of natural resources. King Cross has acquired a yacht port in the Masurian town of Sztynort for its further adaptation to the needs of people who work remotely and wish to combine professional life with active leisure. The fleet of floating houses will allow larger groups to stay in one location with direct access to the training base.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The port infrastructure needs to be reconstructed to enable new services, respond to customer expectations and comply with environment protection requirements. Our project will therefore include the revitalization of the existing sewage treatment plant, the purchase of floating houses and of sanitary containers with heat pumps, and the reconstruction of piers in the port of Sztynort.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The wastewater treatment plant will undergo revitalization in order to achieve efficiency gains, absorb increased volumes of wastewater and use more effective treatment processes at a reduced energy consumption. Also, the use of floating houses from prefabricated materials will have a positive environmental impact, as damage caused by construction works and waste produced during installation will be avoided. The structures will be placed on a platform and equipped with heating systems for their use in winter, facilities for the reuse of greywater and solar installations. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The activities planned under the project will help to reduce CO2 emissions by 18.76 tons, energy consumption by 0.02 tons and the volume of generated waste by 0.24 tons per year.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project will be implemented with a Norwegian partner, InErgeo AS, who will be responsible for improving the waste and wastewater management system through advice regarding the energy efficiency of wastewater treatment plants and the sludge disposal process.</span></span></p>

Bilateral cooperation results

Norwegian partner InErgeo AS supported the Beneficiary in the implementation of work related to the revitalization of the wastewater treatment plant. The project partner supported the Beneficiary, among other things, in improving sludge disposal and improving the efficiency of the wastewater treatment plant's energy consumption, as well as in developing technical and factual documentation for the equipment ordered under the project. The project partner consulted, among other things, the specifications for the tender procedure for the wastewater treatment plant and the water houses, the wastewater treatment plant's water-legal operation, the project information sheet for the modernization of the wastewater treatment plant, data on the wastewater treatment plant, the amount of screenings and waste, the amount of wastewater flow for previous years, and data on electricity consumption at the wastewater treatment plant, complete photographic documentation of the equipment to be replaced, studies on the pollution of Sztynorckie Lake, technical sheets of the equipment selected for the wastewater treatment plant, technological designs of the wastewater treatment plant, and the design of the connection of the water houses to the wastewater treatment plant. In addition, as part of the implementation of Task No. 4, a visit of the Norwegian Partner to the Port of Szynort took place on 17-19.04.2023. During the visit, wastewater flow data for 2021 - 2022, technical sheets of the equipment planned to be installed and installed, and design documentation of the treatment plant together with the water law operation were analyzed. The Norwegian partner emphasized that the most important element of the upgrade is that the wastewater treatment plant will be automated and can be remotely controlled. It was also confirmed that the new elements of the treatment plant will be more energy efficient, reducing electricity consumption from about 4kW/m3 to about 2kW/m3.
