Bran Sands is the first phase of Northumbrian Water's AAD strategy. A second plant is already planned for Howdon, on Tyneside, subject to the usual regulatory approvals and planning consents.Like Bran Sands, Howdon offers the advantage that it can be built on an existing site while the current treatment process continues to operate.The two plants will also be all but identical when complete, utilizing many of the same design features and operating the same processes. The project therefore offers an unusual opportunity to take the design of the first and effectively drop it on to the second site as a package.
