MUNICIPAL - MINING - AUSTRALIA

What did we solve?

A mining company operating a site in a remote part of northern Australia was dealing with rising operating costs for hauling and disposing of activated sludge from the local WWTP. The situation was further complicated by regular local flooding, which limited haulage, led to sludge tank overflows, and posed a risk of releases to the surrounding environment.

Economical benefits

The delivered solution significantly reduced operating costs for sludge handling and disposal, while also eliminating extraordinary expenses in the event of sludge tank overflows. Payback in under 9 months.

And the less obvious benefits for the client?

• Fully automatic operation
• Reduced environmental risk associated with sludge leaks and odor generation
• Turnkey solution (easy installation, plug & play)

Technical parameters of the project:

          MP-DW-201

• Sludge type: STP

• Sludge feed: 2-5% DS

• Cake dryness: <20% DS

• Volume reduction: 80-90%
