Yara Belle Plaine

YARA International is a global mineral fertilizer manufacturer. ETO is retained by YARA Canada to study and provide a long-term solution for a high ammonia stormwater treatment and reuse at its ammonia fertilizer facility, Regina, SK. The local storm water at Yara's fertilizer manufacturing facility is managed by a number of ponds. Collected storm water is sent to a Stormwater Pond for temporary storage. Periodically, depending on weather conditions, excessive storm water must be pumped to the Evaporation Pond for volume reduction. It is Yara's plan to pursue an alternative storm water management practice by treating the water in the Stormwater Pond and reusing the treated effluent as the cooling tower make-up in the facility.
