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.

Aquatec Maxcon are exhibiting at Ozwater 2014, which is being held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre from 29 April – 1 May 2014. We will be located at stand No. 2N20.

Last month, Aquatec Maxcon Group’s Sister Company, Cryeng, was awarded a trophy from Bechtel Oil, Gas & Chemicals Inc. for “Outstanding Performance in Support of the APLNG Project”. APLNG, which involves the development of substantial CSG resources in the Surat and Bowen Basins; building a 450km gas transmission pipeline; and construction of a multi-train LNG facility on Curtis Island, is an EPC Contract managed by Bechtel which will see LNG shipped around the world.

Following the successful delivery of a similar project for QCLNG, Cryeng, who specialises in Engineering, Procurement and Construction Projects for Cryogenics and Oil & Gas Customers, was awarded the contract for the design and fabrication of 4km of Vacuum Insulated Pipe (VIP) for the APLNG Project. The VIP Spools ranged in size from 200NB to 1500NB and were provided for the LNG facility on Curtis Island, off the coast of Gladstone.

Maxcon Industries was the direct interface between Cryeng Thailand and the Client and was responsible for providing support and expertise to Cryeng Thailand, specifically in addressing the Client’s stringent procedures and documentation standards to ensure Code compliance. Maxcon’s highly experienced Quality Control team guided the project to successful delivery, held regular progress meetings, submitted the required documentation and inspected and tested the fabrication of the spools to ensure they were built to the highest possible standard. This significant contribution allowed the project to be delivered within the challenging timeframe and within budget.

Maxcon’s extensive fabrication facilities at our Head Office in Ipswich as well as our overseas factories in Indonesia and Thailand have delivered several large quality fabrication projects over the years. In 2013, 2 x 288kL Ethylene Storage Drums for the APLNG Project were successfully designed and fabricated in our Ipswich factory in accordance with Bechtel’s approved procedures. Cryogenic Vessels are also regularly fabricated from our Ipswich factory for distribution to various projects throughout Australia.

As part of the Aquatec Maxcon Group’s vertically integrated capabilities, we are able to provide a vast range of services to Clients across all Industries to the highest possible standard. Please contact us for any sales enquiry you may have.

Aquatec Maxcon and Queensland Concrete & General Construction (QCGC) have recently been awarded the Thabeban Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade project for Bundaberg Regional Council.

Aquatec Maxcon is responsible for the supply and installation of all mechanical works and equipment as well as the electrical works including PLC & SCADA.

The upgrade will cater to more residents, increasing the current plant’s capacity from 3000 persons to 9000 persons, facilitating economic growth and development in the region. The new plant will also provide high quality treated effluent for agricultural purposes on neighbouring properties and greatly improve the quality of unused treated effluent released into the Yellow Waterholes Creek. Furthermore, the project will provide opportunities for additional re-use options in the future.

Work on the Thabeban Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade is expected to commence in October and take approximately 12 months to construct and commission.

We look forward to assisting QCGC in the successful completion of this contract.
