Minimum distance to an electric substation Mar 04^th, 2013, 1:17pm Hi, is there a minimum distance to be kept from an electric substation when building a UASB, Anaerobic digester or WWTP? Where can I find related codes? Thanks, Carlos Watemberg

The Electricity company should be able to help with suitable separation distances.

Yes, I am concerned about potential gas leaks, so I wanted to know if there is a code about it. The electrical substation is inside a private company that is planning a WWTP. The best plot of land available is next to the substation, so we want to know if there is a code limiting the proximity of a UASB or anaerobic digester to an electric substtion.
Thanks for your email,
