UV Industrial

MAK Water was engaged to deliver the process water and potable water treatment plants for the Cobre Project, one of the larger copper mine developments in Central America. As this was a Greenfield project and the exact feed water quality was uncertain, MAK Water proposed a robust process incorporating: • Chemical flocculation to improve efficiency of solids separation • Lamella clarification as pre-treatment to account for spikes in suspended solids, and • Media filtration in order to achieve the final quality of process and potable water for the site. MAK Water was selected thanks to its innovative modular containerised design, extensive experience in delivering high quality packaged water treatment plants for remote mining projects, and its ability to customise the solution to meet the project requirements.

One of Australia’s leading Oil and Gas providers reached out to MAK Water with a unique UV disinfection replacement project for an offshore gas production platform. MAK Water was tasked with delivering a new UV disinfection solution in an existing area with very limited space requiring out-of-the-box thinking in regard to installation and on-going serviceability. MAK Water designed and manufactured a reliable solution to disinfect the potable water supply in the potable plant room, replacing a very worse-for-wear UV system installed in 1993 which was failing. We worked closely with the client to design a fit for purpose, long-term solution, compliant with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG) and rigid offshore engineering specifications.

An accommodation and wellness centre engaged with the local council and agreed to improve the quality of the water spent from their hot springs prior to discharge into the environment. To meet the stringent log reduction parameters for water treatment, a process solution incorporating a containerised Multimedia Filter (MMF) with validated UV disinfection was implemented. MAK Water worked with the client to understand their concerns regarding rainfall ingress and installed a cost effective integrated manual change over line to allow the client to perform a rainwater first flush. The solution enabled the client to meet their sustainability goals and local council requirements. This is the second plant that has installed MAK Water for similar applications for this client as it works to reduce its environmental footprint. The containerised plant reduces install time, removes the need for additional shelters and improves the longevity of the plant in harsh operating conditions.
