Executive project brief

The challenge

Mine expansion increased wastewater complexity, including solids, hydrocarbons and coal duff. Peak inflows during shift changes affected pH, retention and COD reduction.

Required destinationIrrigation, toilet flushing and dust suppression

Solution architecture

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

  1. 100 KLPD containerised plant
  2. 25 KL buffer tank for peak periods
  3. IFAS process combining moving-bed bioreactor and activated-sludge return
  4. Dosing and buffering configured around variable loads

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

Treatment configured for variable contamination and peak flows during shift changes.

What the project demonstrates

  • Improved effluent management
  • Operational flexibility
  • Non-potable reuse
  • Reduced environmental demand

Before procurement

  1. Representative water analysis completed
  2. Average, peak and future flows validated
  3. Required standard and destination made explicit
  4. Civils, utilities, storage and distribution interfaces defined
  5. Operating and maintenance model resourced
  6. Commissioning evidence and acceptance criteria agreed
