12 In the Beginning 12 Faecal Waste Disposal

13 The Problem 13

14 Liquid Waste Generated In Accra 14 Approximately, 140 trucks discharged to the Lavender hill on a daily basis, averaging 8cubic meters/day (8000 lit/day). 20 trucks dislodge at Nungua Farms on a daily basis, averaging 1.14 cubic meters/day( lit/day) NB: The above represents waste collected from homes with septic tanks

15 The Consequences 15 Surface Water Pollution Soil Contamination Air Pollution Health Hazards Clean-Up Costs Negative Effects on wellbeing

16 OUR SOLUTIONS Sewerage Systems Solutions to these challenges have not only made our cities cleaner and safer, it has provided jobs for hundreds of citizens 16

17 Facts and Figures 17 The Situation of unhygienic dumping into the sea sparked some protests from surrounding communities around the Lavender Hill site. There were legal actions against the City authorities (AMA) Cholera, and other related illnesses were posing serious challenges on the wellbeing of communities As Waste Management Giants in Ghana, we resolved to find a lasting solution to the practice of dumping raw sewerage in the open ocean.

18 Our Solutions 18 Within a period of 3 years, we resolved to build 2 New Faecal Treatment Plants and rehabilitated 1 Sewerage Treatment Plant, namely : Mudor Sewerage treatment plant James Town Lavender Hill Faecal Treatment Plant Near Korle Gonno Lagoon Kotoku Faecal Treatment Plant Adjen Kotoku

21 The Phase II of the project, plans to generated gas in Commercial quantities and converted into electricity that would be fed to the National Grid. Facts and Figures 21 A total investment of over $40 Million was secured through loans from various banks in Ghana. Total designed Capacity of Lavender Hill is approx. 2,000 Cu.M/day, and actual capacity is Approx. 2,400 Cu.M/day, which is equivalent to almost 250 truck loads. Biogas is going to be generated, and converted into electricity which will be used internally within the plant.

22 Facts and Figures 22 Project is completed and undergoing tests and soft launch activities. Biological process taking place and expected to be completed by June Meanwhile, trucks are received regularly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

23 The New Lavender Hill 23

24 BioGas Project 24 BioGas Treatment Facility Liquid is subject to a treatment process that uses UASB Reactors (Up flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) Biogas is generated from the UASB process cubic meters of Biogas expected to be generated, at full capacity, within 3-6 month. 2 x 350 KVA Gas powered turbines, used to generate electricity. 0.5 Mwatts expected to be generated which can be used on site or can be added to the electric grid. Estimated value of electricity produced is Approx. US $800,000, based on current buying rates of ECG.

26 MUDOR SEWERAGE TREATMENT PLAN 26

27 Facts and Figures 27 The facility was Built in the year 2000 by Taylor Woodrow, and it operated for 2 years before shutting down, due to lack of funds for maintenance, in addition to the defective pump stations that feed the plant from various parts of Accra. Total cost of rehabilitation was capped at $25 Million US Dollars all paid by loans from partner banks in Ghana. Total Capacity was increased from 16,000 Cu.M/ Day to 18,000 Cu.M/Day.

28 Facts and Figures 28 This project will also ensure that all sewerage network terminating at Mudor, from the newly planned network connecting over 170,000 new households, will be treated properly and efficiently. In collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government, and with the PPP concept (Public Private Partnership Agreement) funding was sourced through banks to finance the rehabilitation of Mudor plant.

32 CONCLUSION 32

33 Situation 33 Traditionally, projects of this magnitude and role are financed by the government (Public Sector financing). Not many private organization in Ghana or West Africa have invested private funds to build such projects, without any support whatsoever from the government. We are willing to continue these initiatives across Africa, provided adequate support and patronage is obtained from investors and governments.
