Activated Sludge Bioreactor

The Balama Graphite project will be the leading global producer of high purity graphite. The front end engineering and design (FEED) was awarded to a Perth based engineering firm, who subsequently carried out the engineering and procurement for the project. As a reputable and renowned market leader in design and manufacture of packaged water and sewage treatment plants for the resources sector, MAK Water was awarded the contract to supply the project’s water and sewage treatment plants.

The EPC contractor for Australia’s first dual open-cut kaolin mine and geological waste repository required a suitable sewage treatment plant to treat sewage from the accommodation camp and admin office. MAK Water was selected to provide a complete design, manufacture, and installation package for the new sewage treatment plant. MAK Water worked closely with the client to design a fit for purpose, long term solution that meets the required treated effluent quality.

The owner of a new iron ore mine in Yilgarn, Western Australia required water treatment facilities for potable water, sewage treatment and heavy vehicle (HV) washbay wastewater treatment. MAK Water worked closely with the client to design a custom package of four (4) separate plants, providing the best possible water treatment solutions across the entire mine site. MAK Water supplied a potable water treatment plant located at the iron ore mine to treat hypersaline bore water; a sewage treatment plant located at the camp; HV washbay wastewater treatment for removal of hydrocarbons; and additional disinfection and pH adjustment for water reuse in the washbay.

One of the large global mining and processing companies was developing a new mine to extend the life of their Weipa bauxite operations by a planned four decades. MAK Water was engaged by the global Engineering, Construction, and Project Management Company (EPCM) contractor to design and construct the sewage treatment plant for the mine infrastructure area (MIA). 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.
