Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
Mining
Queensland
BACKGROUND
A coal miner in Queensland needed to replace a sewage treatment plant as the existing asset had come to the end of its life.
MAK Water was engaged directly by the miner to design and construct the sewage treatment plant for the existing site.
The plant was constructed according to project engineering and design specifications, using project preferred electrical equipment, and supplied with site specific vendor drawing and data package. MAK Water provided site installation support and commissioning of the plant.
SOLUTION
MAK Water provided a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Sewage Treatment Plant which produces treated effluent complying with Class A+ effluent in QLD.
