Australia's Nereda Wastewater Treatment Plant
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Business
Aquatec Maxcon - the Australian Nereda Technology Partner of Dutch Consultancy firm Royal HaskoningDHV - Has Been Awarded a Design and Construct Contract by Queensland's South Burnett Regional Council
Water will be reclaimed for re-use on sporting fields and also meets the stringent effluent discharge standards. Nereda® technology was selected as a result of achieving both lower capital and operating costs than competing tenders.
Nereda® Technology stemmed from research at Delft University, The Netherlands and has been developed and commercialised by Royal Haskoning DHV with whom we are excited to work on this ground-breaking project. Aquatec Maxcon is the exclusive Australian partner of RHDHV for Nereda® Technology.
"Nereda® technology delivers more sustainable outcomes as it uses smaller structures, consumes fewer resources in construction and also requires less energy and chemicals. It is expected to become the new industry standard" according to Greg Johnston, ManagingDirector, Aquatec Maxcon.
Aquatec Maxcon is looking forward to working closely South Burnett Regional Council in delivering this exciting, innovative project which has also been supported by $10min funding from the Queensland State Government through its Royalties for the Regions funding program.
Aquatec Maxcon has designed and constructed the process, mechanical, electrical and civil works for the Waste Water Treatment Plant Upgrade in the township of Wandoan.
Key features of this plant are:
- Inlet Works, including 3mm fine screen and manual bypass screen.
- Biological Reactors utilising our unique Hybrid Biological Nutrient Reduction technology.
- Biological Phosphorous removal.
- Aerobic Digestion.
- Chemical dosing including caustic soda, Lime and sodium hypochlorite.
- Sludge Dewatering System (Centrifuge) including polymer dosing.
