Radipole Treatment Plant

Located in the heart of Weymouth, Radipole Treatment Plant is a crucial infrastructure responsible for the management and treatment of wastewater and sewage not only from the town but also from the surrounding regions. Technologically advanced systems are at the heart of Radipole’s operations, offering an efficient, cost-effective and ecological way of managing waste. This ensures the environment locally and beyond is protected, safeguarding public health and the area’s natural habitats.

The plant utilises an array of highly sophisticated treatment processes. These include screening for larger debris, primary and secondary treatment to break down debris biologically before water is cleaned and disinfected and then safely discharged. These multifaceted stages ensure that the water returning to nature is clean and free from harmful contaminants.

Radipole Treatment Plant’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its renewable energy endeavours. Biogas produced during the sewage treatment process is captured and converted into electricity, effectively powering the plant itself and significantly reducing the facility’s carbon footprint. Furthermore, the residue from the treatment process is also transformed into an agriculturally viable fertiliser, signifying the plant’s circular economy approach. From waste treatment to resource management, Radipole undoubtedly plays a significant role in environmental stewardship and the sustainable development of Weymouth and its surrounding areas.
