PAG-Service
Project description
Ventspils in Latvia is one of Europe's largest oil terminals for shipment of crude
oil piped to the port from Russia. Around 30 million tons of crude oil are exported per
year. The oil is transhipped without any measures to reduce air pollution. This project is

establishment of a vapour-return system. Approx. 23,000 tons of crude-oil vapours
(hydrocarbons) are estimated to escape from the activities each year. It is anticipated
that more than 98% of this can be recovered by establishing a vapour-return system, the
pay-back time for which is less than three years.

personnel at the factory. Personnel in Estonia will also receive training for a wind
turbine there that was also part of an earlier Genvind project.
Environmental effect
The wind turbine will produce some of the power needed to operate the factory. The
power from this source will replace energy produced by oil-fired or coal-fired power
stations.

Project description
Pskov Sewage Treatment Plant has been discharging sludge to a 10 hectare lagoon for
many years. Now, 200,000 m3 sludge have accumulated in the lagoon. Studies have shown that
a considerable part of the large quantities of heavy metals that have accumulated there
are leaching into the River Velikaja.
The project consists in the establishment of a sludge treatment system at the treatment plant, including dewatering, stabilisation and depositing (the possibility of spreading the sludge on farmland must be investigated). In addition, a strategy must be drawn up for cleaning the sludge from the lagoon and re-establishing the lagoon as a lake or a sanitary landfill.
Environmental effect
This is a preventive project: A pump station to the lagoon will soon bring the water
level down below the critical level of 38 m above the Baltic Sea. At 1-1.5 m over this
level, the annual emissions are measured/estimated to be: 10 ammonia, 2 kg phenol, 4 kg
cresols, 1 kg lead, 15 kg cadmium, 34 kg chromium, 6 kg nickel, 40 kg zinc and 100 kg
copper. Below the 38 m level, the emissions are much lower (measured and estimated) and
therefore give no cause for concern.
In about 10 years' time, when the lagoon has been completely cleaned, there will be no risk of an environmental disaster, and the emissions will be negligible.

File No.

Project recipient
CEE countries with safety problems at nuclear power plants
Project manager
EBRD
Project description
The project is intended to ensure continued action on unsafe nuclear power stations
on Central and Eastern Europe. The Danish position is that unsafe nuclear power stations
should be closed down, primarily because of the risk of operating them. Where closure is
not possible - because, for example, alternative energy sources are not available for
economic and other reasons, it should be ensured that the widest possible use is made of
safe, Western nuclear power technology.
In 1993, an international grant facility was created under EBRD, Nuclear Safety Account, which takes care of this work.
Environmental effect
Safeguarding unsafe nuclear power stations is a preventive measure.
