Executive project brief
The challenge
The site had no access to a sewage line and required a compact system capable of treating wastewater for safe discharge and potential non-potable reuse.
Solution architecture
The following elements are documented in SewTreat’s published project record.
- Single-tank SEWPRO biological process
- Above-ground installation
- Reduced civil scope
- Containerised electrical and mechanical control equipment
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
Compact above-ground biological treatment where no sewer connection was available.
What the project demonstrates
- 5 KLPD treatment
- Reduced footprint
- Transportable flat-packed format
- Minimal civil works
Before procurement
- Representative water analysis completed
- Average, peak and future flows validated
- Required standard and destination made explicit
- Civils, utilities, storage and distribution interfaces defined
- Operating and maintenance model resourced
- Commissioning evidence and acceptance criteria agreed
