RWTS supplied two EcoFarmer 100 sewage treatment system to the Santos’ Wallumbilla remote camp.
These WWTPs were acquired from RWTS’s rental fleet. For more information on the systems we offer for lease, click here.
RWTS installed and commissioned a potable water system and wastewater treatment system to the site.
Treated effluent from the EcoFarmer was re-purposed for use by local farmers to irrigate grass areas for livestock.
RWTS were awarded the contract by client Santos cooper basin projects to deliver an engineered wastewater treatment system catering for their remote camps waste water needs out at Tarbat operations, Queensland.
Client: Santos
Location: Tarbat Queensland.
Technology implemented: EcoFarmer 50
Industry: Mining
Due to the ever flocculating camp numbers (as low as 15 to 50 ep), the process of converting the BOD and Nitrogen loadings placed on the plant was a challenge.
The RWTS process team overcame the issue by utilising a biological additive yielding 900mg/ kilo of mass dosed through our dosing system set up. The results allow for a constant and stable mixed liquor within the aeration chambers vital to the growth of essential bacteria.
The wastewater treatment system was completed within the confines of an international shipping container, making for seamless road transportation. Built from the ground up and structurally certified, the wastewater treatment system was the perfect fit for the environment. The hand rails and ladder system were compliant to code, thus allowing for safe height access. Furthermore, the turnkey design minimised the commissioning process so allowed the camp to continue business-as-usual operations while the plant was installed for remote camp tenants by 6 pm.
The treated effluent was then dispersed on the lease via sprinkler system and compliant to the overarching Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA) as set out by the Queensland Department of Health.
