Executive project brief

The challenge

Very limited plant space required an underground installation. Unexpectedly high COD caused early underperformance and required a deeper understanding of the mall's wastewater profile.

Required destinationEnvironmental discharge

Solution architecture

The following elements are documented in SewTreat’s published project record.

  1. Underground installation below basement level
  2. Extensive testing of the actual effluent profile
  3. Design modifications for elevated COD
  4. Eight months of fine-tuning toward the site's special discharge limits

Engineering assurance

Characterise

Validate the water profile, duty and variability.

Integrate

Define civils, power, controls, storage and existing interfaces.

Operate

Plan access, skills, residuals, consumables and maintenance.

Verify

Agree commissioning, sampling and acceptance evidence.

Published outcome

Underground installation fine-tuned against unusually high mall-effluent COD.

What the project demonstrates

  • Space-efficient installation
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Improved long-term performance
  • Wetland discharge protection
