In the Slyudyansky district, on the former territory of the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill, installation of technological equipment for an alkaline wastewater treatment plants using multi-stage filtration with reverse osmosis has begun. The Plant's capacity is 2 thousand m³ per day. The infrastructure for the treatment and disposal of sludge waters at the Solzansky landfill is being created as part of a federal project to eliminate the accumulated damage of the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill.
More details about this are in the — Vesti Irkutsk story.

Work on the territory of the central sewage treatment facilities with black liquor of the Solzansky landfill is planned to be completed by the end of 2024. Our company is implementing turnkey units for evaporation of eluates after ion exchange and a unit for evaporation of the concentrate of the reverse osmosis unit at the site. The equipment is part of the alkali-containing effluent treatment station. The station is designed to pump out and purify about 300 thousand m³ of wastewater. As a result, the purified water will correspond to distilled water in terms of salt content.
