Laboratory services at Brisbane Airport needed to treat the wastewater from their on-site laboratories to ensure it could be safely and compliantly discharged to sewer. MAK Water proposed a Containerised pH Adjustment Batch System capable of treating up to 1,000l/h of acid wastewater.

MAK Water was approached by a company reconditioning runways in Sydney to supply a short term solution for a wastewater stream with a very high pH. The company’s processes were creating approximately 20,000L of wastewater every day with a pH >12 that needed to be brought down to neutral prior to disposal. Due to the short-term nature of the job, it made sense to hire the equipment from MAK Water’s fleet of hire water treatment equipment rather than buy something.

MAK Water was approached by a large family-owned business in Sydney to provide a suitable solution to their increasing volumes of trade wastewater from their manufacturing process. The business was producing approximately 7-8 thousand litres a week of mildly acidic wastewater that they were paying to be disposed of by a liquid waste company as the pH was too low to be suitable for disposal into Sydney Water’s sewer system. The volumes being removed were relatively small compared to other companies so having a system that could meet the discharge specification and be cost effective was very important.
