Pemulwuy, New South Wales
BACKGROUND
SuperCharge Batteries generates wastewater from the battery manufacturing process line.
The wastewater needed to be treated to meet trade waste discharge requirements. This included heavy metal removal, pH adjustment and data logging of discharged effluent quality and volume.
SOLUTION
MAK Water offered a turnkey custom solution, including:
GRAVITY CLARIFICATION SYSTEM
- Fully automated custom system capable of treating up to 3,000 L/h of wastewater generated from the battery manufacturing process line
- Heavy metal removal via precipitation and clarification
- pH Adjustment for discharge compliance
- Custom programmable logic control (PLC) and instrumentation including data logging of discharged effluent quality and volume
