ABOUT THE PROJECT
Moerk Water was approached by a First Point of Entry (FPOE) port authority to design a compliant water treatment system to recycle the wastewater from the machinery washbay onsite. The remote site had no access to liquid trade waste, required off-grid power generation and needed to minimize the use of chemicals. Moerk Water designed a treatment system, based on ceramic ultrafiltration and activated carbon adsorption that produced a 10-14% solid waste product. The system is containerised and powered by solar energy. Following consultation with stakeholders, construction is planned for late 2024.
PROJECT OUTCOMES:
- Moerk Water was approached by a port authority to design a FPOE compliant washbay recycling system
- Treatment unit uses combination of absorption, filtration and sludge dewatering
- The site is remote and required solar power generation and cyclone proof housing for the treatment unit
