Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
Mining
Queensland
BACKGROUND
A coal mine 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 mine site owner to design and construct the replacement sewage treatment plant.
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 to produce treated effluent complying with Class A+ effluent in QLD, and enable the mine to recycle the wastewater
