Following the president’s instructions, a modern filtration system was installed at the facility in the Sergeli district, and the wastewater pools were hermetically sealed to combat the unpleasant odor.
Responsible officials were instructed to install modern filtering devices at the wastewater collection facility by September 1 and eliminate this problem.
According to the capital’s khokimiyat, practical measures to eliminate the unpleasant odor have been taken at the Salar facilities.
The Salar facilities receive and treat wastewater from seven districts of Tashkent. Their daily capacity is 900,000 cubic meters.
To reduce unpleasant odors, modern filtering equipment worth 9.5 billion soums was installed.
“The wastewater pools are hermetically sealed, and the odorous air passes through filters, is cleaned, and rendered harmless,” the statement said.
According to Dononboy Kazybekov, chief technologist at Tashkent Water Supply and Utilities JSC, the Tashkent water supply system’s management held negotiations with the Russian side, after which air purification equipment was delivered.
In the unit, air is drawn in by a fan and passed through 11.5 tons of a special material—a catalytic sorbent. Exposure to ultraviolet rays causes ozonation and oxidation of pollutants.
The air then passes through 2.5 tons of activated carbon. After purification, the hydrogen sulfide concentration at the outlet is zero, and the ammonia concentration is also zero.
The equipment has been in operation for over 15 days. As a result, the unpleasant odor around the structures has disappeared, as confirmed by residents of nearby areas.
