Sepor’s Water Treatment Plant
is situated on a self-contained jetty in the commercial port of
La Spezia. The plant utilizes two treatment cycles: chemical-physical
and biological. The system is completely automated and controlled
by a processor with executive and control functions. Tests are
carried out immediately at the plant’s laboratory so the liquid
can be immediately sent back to storage for further testing in
the case of negative results.
Sepor’s plant was built in 1988 and expanded in 1996. It is authorised
by ruling n°114 of May 22, 2007 of the Province of La Spezia.
Sepor collects and transports the different types of water (industrial,
oil and sewage) from and to the plant using its gulley suckers
which comply with safety laws (ADR).
Additionaly, situated nearby, Sepor has its sterilization for
the food waste of ships’ galleys where the waste, before being
carried to the dump, is treated for destroying possible viruses,
bacteria and every form of infective pathology to man and animals.
The company is able to deal
with fuel spills in the sea area of La Spezia using floating barriers,
discoils and, above all, the in-house-built ecological recoil
boats.
This is one of the main reasons why Sepor has been appointed (by
the Port Authority and the Navy of La Spezia) to perform the daily
collection of solid and oily waste floating in the Commercial
and Navy gulf ports.
Through its special First Aid Section Sepor is able to respond
rapidly, avoiding terrestrial and maritime pollution caused by
fuel leaks.
Sepor operates in the commercial port of La Spezia, serving ships
and terminals in accordance with the actual environmental regultions
of La Spezia’s Port Authority.
Sepor Spa has more than 30 boats (tug boats, barges and anti-pollution
vessels) able to meet the demands of shipowners unloading their
ships in the Port of La Spezia. The company, in concession of La
Spezia Port Authority in order to satisfy the actual environmental
law, collects daily food waste and sewage water from ships, which
then are carried to Sepor’s sterilizer and water treatment and plant.
Everyday the company cleans the sea with in-house-built, technologically
advanced ecological antipollution vessels.
