Process efficiency is continually being upgraded to minimise the release of wastes. Particularly in the area of water effluent, our engineers seek to reduce both the effluent stream and its pollutant load.

The characteristics and variability of each waste water stream are well established and monitored regularly. The treatment processes are optimised for the volume of the waste streams and their respective pollutant loads. The treatment processes include initial grit and screenings removal, pH correction, primary sedimentation, activated sludge secondary treatment and sludge treatment and conditioning.

Most of the treated water is reused within the plant and associated landscaped areas. Treated water leaving the facility is monitored to ensure that its quality far exceeds statutory requirements.
