The Smith’s Food Group contracted Aquatec Maxcon to design and construct a 1.3ML/d wastewater reuse plant on their production site at Tingalpa, QLD.
The plant had an existing screen and oil & gas trap and a heavily overloaded MBBR. To alleviate the plant loading, a DAF and a BIOPAQ®IC were added as well as Ultra Filtration and Reverse Osmosis membranes, Ultra Violet and Chlorine Dosing to bring the water up to better than potable water standard for non-direct food contact reuse in the factory. The UF and RO were designed and built by Aquatec Maxcon
