EcoOxy System | The latest Abattoir Wastewater Treatment System

Do you require an abattoir wastewater system?

Do you have a lagoon based wastewater treatment system?

Do you have open air treated effluent storage ponds ?

Do you have aerobic lagoons that are poorly aerated, non conforming and suffering biologically?

Do you have Odour related issues with your current system, or poor treatment due to system overloading ?

Are your discharge nutrient levels exceeding your environmental discharge limits?

Remote Water Treatment Services abattoir and industrial wastewater treatment system is here.

RWTS have constructed their very own skid mounted EcoOxy system delivering effortless aeration to accommodate for all organic loading types.

RWTS use biowin modelling as a tool and basis of design for the EcoOxy platform tailoring an aeration pump package for each individual site.

The selected pump is coupled up with our Mazzei venturis to produce the aeration demand required, multiple unit across the dam wall may be required to produce the outcome.

Servicing and maintenance of these systems is a breeze due to their skid mount design able to be placed on the side of a dam/ lagoon/pond wall.

No need for costly cranes and rafts required for conventional in pond process mixer aerator units. A financial gain and more importantly a safety risk that can be risk assessed out.

Think aeration – think Ecooxy – think of contacting RWTS  📞

Abattoir Water Treatment Services provided by RWTS?

Many regional abattoirs rely heavily on fresh water supply for internal process and wash down requirements. In smaller townships water cannot easily be provided to the operation and the company must seek an alternate source to produce the water requirement.

RWTS can support their clients in feasibility studies to seek water from a suitable source and then analyse a treatment process to polish the water to the standard required. This water treatment system may be a multi-train staged scenario with different water quality requirements.

RWTS advocates for sustainable water reuse to improve the cost of high water consumption in abattoirs. We understand the requirements of treating abattoir effluent and the need for a cost-effective water treatment and filtration system. RWTS customer service and hardware reliability is at the forefront of our commitment to our clients.

Abattoir Wastewater Treatment

The Australian red meat and poultry processing industry is a significant consumer of fresh water and a high producer of wastewater. Abattoirs produce a high source of waste water that require stringent onsite waste water treatment prior to council sewer release or land application. In addition, drought and resulting water restrictions cause enormous pressure on processing plants to reduce water consumption. Along with restrictions, costs around wastewater disposal makes it essential for businesses in this industry to carefully choose their wastewater treatment options.

Underling waste water issues faced in the Abattoir industry?

Many abattoirs visited across the country have existing infrastructure in place with supported hardware that is not efficiently catering for the hydraulic or nutrient demand placed on the biological process. When the process weakens the immediate response is that the biological nutrient removal (BNR) treatment process is failing and an alternate source of water treatment hardware needs to be adopted. In many cases this not the answer, the appropriate solution may be to redesign the current process hardware, allowing for higher oxygen and mixing demand with the correct sludge management process. It is recommended to also implement a smart automation system to manage sludge waste and save on further failing expenses.

Remote Water Treatment Services philosophy is finding the right solution for our client, operator, and environment. There have been many scenarios where the biological process treatment system has been made redundant as the primary treatment source. A costly dissolved air flotation (DAF) type treatment process with an extremely high chemical expenditure to boot is adopted or sold into the organisation.

RWTS take a simplified approach that doesn’t cost our clients any unnecessary operational expense by firstly looking at remodelling the current biological treatment process. Our smart automation platform allows easy on site operator engagement adjusting all necessary parameters to drive the process including; dissolved oxygen, anoxic mixing times, sludge wasting and return, all through the touch of an HMI and/or remote desktop monitoring.

RWTS stringent process modelling involves classical calculations supported by advanced bio win modelling software where the team can place multiple loading scenarios whilst explaining to our clients the differences in treatment processes so an informed decision can be made by the consulting board. This process of client education, classical calculation validated by sophisticated modelling software gives our clients an informed and proven solution that will ensure the system is managed at its full potential. Whilst also meeting the stringent environmental guidelines placed on treated water to land. Furthermore, it is imperative that an independent waste water review is completed by a reputable process biological RPEQ engineer that will confirm the process put forth.

If you have an onsite treatment system that is failing the local legislative final release parameters, or your process and loading from the factory source has increased, please get in touch with RWTS for a comprehensive review of your site waste water treatment process.

Brew Dog | Brewing Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Solution

reverse osmosis ph correction system water treatment facility

RWTS was successfully awarded a contract with international brand name Brew Dog to deliver a Reverse Osmosis water treatment system to ensure quality water for beer production.

Client: Brew Dog

Location: Brisbane

Solution: Reverse Osmosis water treatment system and Industrial Trade Waste Ph correction and screening

Industry: Hospitality

 

BACKGROUND

Brew Dog are an internationally established company, committed to sustainable brewing practices and batching quality beer to sell to market. Since beer is 90% water, it is natural that the quality and composition of the water will have a dramatic impact on the beer’s flavour.

There are three elements of water that will affect the taste of the beer: mineral composition, pH, and alkalinity. The water’s hardness and mineral make-up will impart flavour and influence the fermentation process. The pH encourages enzymatic action in the mix and cultivates the proliferation of yeast during the fermentation stage. Alkalinity creates a buffer to protect the pH from fluctuation throughout the brewing process, making sure bacteria is unable to grow and stripping excess tannic acid from the beer. These three factors are intimately linked and work in tandem to guide the taste and colour of beer production.

Thus Brew Dog wanted a water treatment system that was affordable and easy to install and operate. Our Reverse Osmosis water treatment system appealed because it’s a proven technology to produce high yielding water for beer production and delivering consistent results.

THE RWTS SOLUTION

REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

beer brewery reverse osmosis system

Remote Water Treatment Service designed and constructed a purpose built reverse osmosis water treatment facility with a disinfection process to produce high yielding water for beer production. We also designed and engineered a trade waste facility to conform to strict council regulations on discharge limits imposed. Both systems were electrically and mechanically installed by our inhouse fabrication team. In addition, all functional coding and engineering design software was conducted inhouse using our Allen Bradley platform. To ensure quality assurance our systems were functionally tested onsite and handed over to our client successfully.

Wastewater Treatment System: Balter Brewery

Balter Brewery approached RWTS with the need for an upgraded trade wastewater treatment system to handle their steadily increasing daily load.

The Issue | An overrun wastewater treatment system

The wastewater treatment system procured originally was designed adequately for the daily load of 3000 litres and was sufficient for the brewery’s early beginnings. However, due to Balter’s growing popularity, production has both increased and improved. This lead to daily site hydraulic loads of the wastewater treatment solution exceeding its designed capacity.

As such, the system design was essentially overrun, creating operational and reliability issues. This resulted in a system that could not perform correctly and meet the hydraulic demands the site was experiencing. In addition, we saw the potential to add significant value and functionality to the brewery’s waste treatment system design.

The RWTS Solution

We proposed, designed and developed an enhanced system to not only ensure reliable operation, but to allow the comfortable treatment of 20,000 litres per day (that’s a lot of beer!).

By integrating advanced wastewater treatment technology, the new design allows for remote monitoring of the entire system operation, minimising the need for operator intervention and unnecessary maintenance. In short – more insight, less work. The HMI will provide a flow log and pH log each time the system discharges to trade waste on a daily basis. Data from the system can be stored for a minimum 30-day log and potentially up to 60 days.

If your brewery is looking for a wastewater treatment solution that provides detailed insight in real time but requires minimal operator intervention, we would love to discuss a tailored solution with you.

Ultrafiltration: Darling Downs Eggs

RWTS, in conjunction with client Integrated water management, delivered a complete water solution to the Darling Downs Eggs precinct.

This project was aimed at supporting the improved health of the birds, ultimately minimising mortality, yielding higher gross margins overall for the farmers. Water treatment a key ingredient to the survival of the birds found that we would treat the sites bore water through a  nanofiltration process with media filtration front end and calcium for hardness absorption on the permeate stream.

The additional water make up source came from the farms turkeys nest where raw surface water was treated through glass media filtration, disinfected with sufficient oxidant before entering the ultrafiltration system for further treatment. The RWTS design included our Improved PVC inside – outside  hollow fibre canister membranes complete on 316 industrial grade stainless steel equipment skid. The system was powered through a Mitsubishi PLC and HMI with Ewom modem for remote telemetry access to allow for plant manipulation and performance trending from the office with remote SMS alarm capability.

The ultrafiltration engineered package is designed to treat up to 10 kl / hr of permeate with redundancy @ a 98% efficient recovery rate. Both treated water sources make up the 120 KL panel holding tank which is then further recirculated and treated with a specific formulation of Chlorine dioxide maintaining bacterial loading within the water stream, keeping a residual oxidant throughout the water network.
