Upgrade Mining Township Water Supply

This remotely located mining township has relied upon desalinated bore water for more than 20 years. To provide a cost effective upgrade solution to our client, Aqueous Solutions’ proposal included incorporating some plant components already in place.  Aqueous Solutions was awarded the contract for upgrade in January 2011. Aqueous Solutions replaced the antiquated R.O. System and integrated with the existing PLC.

Project Summary

  • Integrated the existing PLC system, overcoming shortcomings of antiquated code.
  • Electronic monitoring system, cartridge filtration, antiscalant dosing, permeate flush and CIP system.
  • Critical path planning minimised plant downtime for critical town supply.
