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.

Westgold | Wastewater Treatment Plant

Another pair of Ecofarmer 250 units on deck for one of our mining clients in Western Australia. Arranged in twin train Ecofarmer 250 design with a Class A advanced media polishing packaged to ensure we meet our clients site compliance.

Client: Westgold

Location: Western Australia

Project: Westgold Cue Village WWTP upgrade

Solution: Twin Train Eco250 units with class a polishing package

Industry: Mining

 

BACKGROUND

The current waste water treatment facility situated at Cue Village Westgold needed to be replaced due to age and premature wear on the steel structure.

RWWA was asked to submit a proposal to design and construct a suitable waste water treatment system that suited the site hydraulic and incoming biological nutrient demand that would meet the release criteria as specified by governing body.

The new sewage treatment plant (STP) is designed to provide ongoing reliable service and to minimise maintenance requirements, ensuring ease of operation whilst maintaining reliable effluent quality and daily production.

THE RWWA SOLUTION

CUSTOM BUILT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT

The site compliance targets are based on standard nutrient with Class A disinfection requiring less that 10 Ecoli per 100 ml of sample. Our Ecofamer SBR solution is packaged and delivered complete with our integral Class A glass media filtration system, that will further filter the supernatant from the sequencing batch reactors (SBR) to a higher class of final effluent, to release to ground.

 

Our glass media design is based on the ‘Drydan Glass,’ a validated and certified media product sold here in Australia. This is a highly refined crushed glass with excellent flux potential, allowing for full rejuvenation through a backwash and chemical clean process that extends to the filtration cycle, as oppose to conventional sand base media.

 

 Our Class A media package is housed in a 20 ft high cube container beside our Ecofarmer treatment units. A dedicated feed pump on the VSD control, will continually recirculate the supernatant fluid over the glass media. Then the flow pace chlorine injection will sanitise the water keeping the media beds at optimal working order, whilst reducing fouling potential free residual oxidant. This will then be monitored and corrected for bacteriological control in the final effluent water body. Once the water has met specification within the chlorine contact residence time, a modulating valve will allow fluid to pass to the irrigation field.

As part of our advanced technology, a centralised Allen Bradley HMI and PLC will engage the operator allowing for full remote access, reducing any unnecessary call out fees.

Results:

The RWWA difference is our unique fabrication process of our engineered certified steel reactors that provide a generous 20 year chassis life guarantee. Our chassis are built from the ground up with 6 mm flat sheet formed and pressed for the walls giving the ultimate in rigidity and corrosion allowance. In addition, a suitable international or Jotun coating is applied to the internal and exterior of the box.

We are committed to providing the highest quality product and service to our customers.

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.

Abattoir Waste Water Treatment Services provided by RWTS?

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.

Our client, Canstruct chose a custom built surface water treatment plant to produce safe and reliable potable water for human consumption.

Client: Canstruct

Location: Northern Territory

Solution: 40ft containerised Surface Water Treatment System

Industry: Agriculture

 

BACKGROUND

Canstruct are constructing new and upgrading existing facilities to support industry activity that is requiring a suitable water treatment facility to cater for persons on site.

RWTS was successfully awarded the contract to supply a 40ft containerised surface water treatment system to produce safe and reliable potable water for human consumption.

When accessing the design of the surface water treatment plant we took into account some key consideration based on site specific risks and project requirements.

Requirements for the WTP for this application were as follows:

 

  • Variable site loads – load swings and variable quality raw water characteristics
  • Seasonal Variance affecting organic loads, TOC Levels and Algae Levels in raw water supply
  • Upstream Catchment Assessment shows the source water as Category 4
  • Upstream variability in raw water quality including cattle farming – cryptosporidium risk is high.
  • High Protozoa risks associated with the source water combined with the location of the catchment and temperature averages.
  • Indicative raw water test results show an extremely low LSI index (corrosive Index rating) resulting in the design requiring remineralisation as an addition to the primary process requirement.
  • 20 year design life with an acceptable ongoing cost

THE RWTS SOLUTION

CUSTOM BUILT WATER TREATMENT PLANT

RWTS designed and constructed a surface water treatment plant with a nominated design flow rate to provide a minimum of 75,000 litres per day.

The nominated recovery range for this system was 85% – with a worst case expected recovery during very high solids loading periods of 55%.

Raw water required for the 20 kl per day potable water was between 88,500 litres per day minimum and as high as 136,000 litres per day – depending on raw water quality.

There was several stages of the water treatment process implemented into the design and construction of this customize water treatment plant including;

 

  • Stage One – Chemical Dosing
  • Stage Two- AFM Media Filtration
  • Stage Three – Ultrafiltration
  • Stage Four – GAC Carbon Media Filtration
  • Stage Five – Ultraviolet Disinfection Post Filtration
  • Stage Six – Calcite Media Remineralisation Filtration
  • Stage Seven – Chlorine Dosing For Disinfection Post Filtration
  • Stage Eight – Chlorine Dosing And Ph Correction For Treated Water Storage Facility

 

OVERVIEW OF DESIGN AND SYSTEM FITOUT

The following key summary points outline the fitout of the system:

 

  • Electrical Control Panel/Switchboard – Exceeds AS 3000 Requirement
  • Custom Fabricated 40 Foot Container Based Building with Air Conditioning, Vinyl Flooring, Fridge Panel 50 mm Thick Insulation Panel Lined Internal Roof and Walls for Temperature Control.

The water treatment system included a Grundfos CRIE15 Series duplex multistage pump set complete with variable speed drive motors. A PID Pressure targeting software control via an Allen Bradley PLC/HMI package was installed.

The pump set was sized to ensure each pump delivered 15l/sec @40 mtrs delivery head, allowing a duty standby control methodology, which allowed a final duty achieved of 10 ltrs second at 400 kpa.

A flow meter was installed on the treated water delivery line out of the system to monitor discharge flows. This would ensure the data logging of usage volumes and peak flows as well as ensuring if there were any issues an alarm would be triggered to alert operations immediately.

Results:

There was significant consideration into the site-specific risks for treatment and delivery in design and construction to ensure the final filtered and disinfected water in potable water storage complied with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG).

RWTS delivered a potable water treatment plant that provided a daily minimum of 75,000 litres of safe and reliable potable water for human consumption.

The water treatment system was designed and fabricated in a transportable/semi-permanent or permanent installation arrangement to provide continuous service with the required maintenance for a 20 year life expectancy.

Client: Tropical Waste –

Location: Northern Queensland

Solution: Ecofarmer 250

Industry: Industrial Waste

 

BACKGROUND

Tropical Waste Services are a North Queensland waste handling carter that remove septic systems from surrounding townships. A localised Ecofarmer unit was designed and built to treat waste water fluid to be released back into the council sewer.

THE RWTS SOLUTION

ECOFARMER 250 – WASTE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

The 250 Ecofarmer waste water treatment system was designed and fabricated to ensure only quality treated effluent was released in accordance to water compliance. In addition RWTS are providing continuous service and maintenance to ensure a minimum of 20 years life expectancy.

When designing a waste water treatment system, hydraulic and organic loadings must be fixed as a basis for design. The wastewater treatment system is then sized according to this basis and the effluent standard requirements. This 250 Ecofarmer sewage treatment plant has been designed in this manner. Failure to observe the hydraulic and organic loadings may result in the discharge of effluent that does not meet the required council standards. If the loadings are not exceeded (and upstream management and servicing procedures are adequate) the treatment plant will produce a high quality secondary treated effluent. Our solution ensures only quality treated effluent stream for water compliance.

Results:

Stringent Queensland council approval and design process was completed to allow release to council sewer.

Waste water treatment and dispersal of final effluent met.

Griffith University Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System

RWTS was successfully awarded a contract at Griffith University to deliver a Reverse Osmosis water treatment system to supply demineralised water to the lab sinks at a nominated flow rate.

Client: Griffith University

Location: Brisbane

Solution: Reverse Osmosis water treatment system

Industry: School

 

BACKGROUND

Griffith University recently constructed a high end laboratory in their new state of the art ‘Aviation Building’. Griffith University required purified water for cooling, cleaning and sampling and testing requirements, within these laboratories.

RWTS were successfully awarded the contracted portion to supply a suitably design two pass Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system, with prefiltration and loop line disinfection to supply demineralised water to the laboratory sinks at a nominated flow rate.

THE RWTS SOLUTION

REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

The Griffith University reverse osmosis and demin polishing system uses RO technology to remove dissolved salts from a suitable raw water source.

The system designed and built for Griffith University is configured specifically for slightly variable raw water TDS to accommodate seasonal changes in raw water quality being delivered by Urban Utilities.

The RO water treatment system is designed using a staged approach.

The first stage, “Pre-treatment” removes suspended solids down to 1 micron in size, stripping the total chlorine from the water and removing calcium/magnesium hardness, iron, manganese and aluminium, before the final treated water is fed to the reverse osmosis system for further treatment.

The reverse osmosis water treatment system is a “double pass” system, with the permeate from the first pass sent through a second pass to produce a high quality permeate that is always less than 1 us/cm in quality and typically averages less than 0.5 us/cm.

The last stage of treatment is ultraviolet disinfection combined with mixed bed demineralisation resin, which removes bacteria and trace solutes such as sodium and chloride down to extremely low levels, to produce a treated water quality that is as low as 0.1us/cm in quality.

A water storage tank, a treated water loop delivery pump unit and the required valving and instrumentation completes the delivery of the treated water to the laboratory. In addition multiple outlets are provided a low pressure demineralized water supply at all times by the system.

The Griffith University reverse osmosis system is designed to operate with advanced automatic flux control methodology.

This methodology involves the utilization of automatic modulating valves on the concentrate and recycle streams of the system, flow meters on the concentrate, recycle and permeate streams for flow feedback to the PLC.

The water treatment system automation is controlled through the RWTS proprietary Allen Bradley HMI PLC combined with Bacnet control back to the University BMS system. This system provides accurate and reliable control based on operator adjustable setpoint targets for production and system membrane flux.

Results:

Purified water for cooling, cleaning and sampling and testing requirements within the Griffith University laboratories at a nominated flow rate.

Seamless automation and programming to ensure equipment is easy to operate and maintain, and not fail when the placed under full demand.

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.
