BACKGROUND
A coal mining operation required a new water treatment solution to replace an ageing plant used for process water. The system needed to comply with stringent coal mining specifications, including HAZOP standards. The project included two sites with requirements of 30m³/day and 300m³/day.
SOLUTION
MAK Water supplied two containerised ultrafiltration (UF) plants to effectively remove particulate matter, total organic carbon (TOC), bacteria, and pathogens. These were designed to handle variable feed water pH (ranging from 5 to 9) with an option of pH correction using acid and caustic. Hypochlorite dosing was implemented for water disinfection via a recirculation tank already available on-site.
A preventative maintenance plan was put in place to ensure the plant’s reliability, with detailed reports provided to the client. To support ongoing daily operations client specific training manual was developed. The plant was equipped with premium instrumentation and remote monitoring via the ClearAccessTM platform.
