Key Advantages
- Low Energy & Operating Costs: Minimal energy consumption reduces overall expenses.
- Reduced Maintenance: Simple process means maintenance can be undertaken by unskilled personnel.
- Compact Design: Small footprint and easy installation, even in limited spaces.
- Reliable Performance: Consistent treatment regardless of fluctuations in hydraulic and organic loads.
- High Operational Safety: No odour, noise, or aerosol issues.
- Quick Start-Up: Pre-assembled systems allow fast installation. Achieves optimal performance in 10–15 days without seeding.
Applications include small communities (50–1500 population equivalent), tourist villages, camping sites, portable treatment sites, hotels, schools, and highway service areas.
Applications
Real-world examples
A regional council in South East Queensland required replacement of the rotating biological contactors (RBCs) installed at their sewage treatment plant as these had reached the end of their serviceable life. These RBCs were originally designed to treat unscreened settled sewage, but performance had deteriorated over time. MAK Water was selected to provide a mechanical inlet screen to treat raw sewage prior to primary settling, and to provide two RBCs to replace the existing six RBCs within the site’s hydraulic and footprint constraints. This proved to be a cost competitive and fit for purpose approach whilst achieving the plant’s licence conditions.
