Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
Mining
Goldfields, Western Australia
BACKGROUND
When a well-established Nickel Mining company, operating in the Southern Goldfields of Western Australia (WA), required a new accommodation camp, they contacted MAK Water to discuss wastewater treatment options.
Due to a shortage of available fresh water, the client required a turnkey solution, including a Sewage Treatment Plant capable of producing water that could be reused in their process. This reduced the site’s water costs and reduced the impact on the environment
SOLUTION
MAK Water provided a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Sewage Treatment Plant which produces treated effluent complying with Class A+ and category level “High” as detailed in the Guidelines for Use of Recycled Water in WA (June 2011).
Turnkey Solution
- Design and construction of the Membrane Bioreactor Sewage Treatment Plant
- Assistance with obtaining Department of Health approval
- Installation and commissioning
- Ongoing service and maintenance
Containerised Solution
- Ease of on site installation
- Modular and transportable for relocation if required
- Protection from harsh conditions
RESULTS AND BENEFITS
- Robust design to ensure compliance with high quality effluent required for reuse.
- Treated effluent can be reused/recycled in a number of industrial applications.
- No environmental impact.
- Small footprint as a dedicated spray field is not required.
