By installing a treatment system consisting of a treatment tank for pH reduction and water conditioning, a lamella settlement tank to remove solids and a water quality monitoring and correction tank, the water is transformed from a contaminated waste to a safe reusable asset.
This process not only enables the water to be reused in the batching process, but is also within the specification of the discharge consent for safe discharge from site.
As part of the installation of this system, the settlement tank was reduced from 120m3 to 45m3, with safety measures put in place to protect personnel, and a 10,000-litre clean water tank was installed to store clean water ready for reuse.
The system is installed for total automation, using its onboard diagnostics system to report to the site operatives on water quality, consumable restocking requirements and system status troubleshooting.
