Shieldhall
• Opened in 1910
• Also followed model at Dalmarnock
• Built as the main sewage works for Glasgow
• Rebuilt in 1980 to process sewage from surrounding areas

Shieldhall
Constant Velocity Grit Channels
The whole of the presedimentation or inlet works is fully enclosed and
incorporates 6 large automatically raked mechanical screens followed by constant velocity grit channels which are cleaned by a travelling suction
dredger. Maximum flows through this section of the plant can be 6 DWF.

Shieldhall
Primary Sedimentation
TanksA total of 12 rectangular primary
sedimentation tanks are installed, each of which has a travelling
mechanical scraper mechanism. The capacity of these tanks provides
a 6 hour retention at the DWF of 2.53m^3/sec.

Shieldhall
Mammoth rotor Aeration Tanks
Secondary treatment of sewage flows is provided in an activated
sludge plant in the form of 6 rectangular aeration tanks which provide 5.5 hours retention at the
design DWF.
A total of 24 Biwater horizontal Mammoth rotors are installed in the
aeration tanks to provide the required oxygen transfer and mixing necessary for the efficient operation
of the process.

Daldowie
• In 2000, at a cost of £65million, Scottish Water had built a plant at Daldowie, near Glasgow, to process half of Scotland's sewage into fuel pellets. These are used as a coal substitute by the giant Longannet power station in Fife to produce enough "carbon-neutral" electricity to power 30,000 homes.
