Rio Tinto Alcan Yarwun

image

Rio Tinto Alcan Yarwun provides smelter grade alumina to Australia, New Zealand and export markets. The Yarwun Refinery is about 10km northwest of Gladstone, Central Queensland, with its Residue Management Area (RMA) approximately 10km west of the refinery.

GHD has been involved on this project since the site selection and design phase, when our Tailings group undertook the site study and detailed design for the RMA, including an extensive geotechnical mapping program and installation of a groundwater monitoring network.

Western Corridor Recycled Water Project (Qld, Australia)

image

The AUD$2.5 billion Western Corridor Recycled Water Project is Australia’s largest water recycling scheme and the third-largest advanced water treatment project in the world.

It uses secondary wastewater from Brisbane and Ipswich, to produce 232Ml of purified recycled water a day. The project is the Queensland State Government’s response to unprecedented demand on its water supply due to population growth, climate change and the worst drought in recorded history.

Cleveland Bay wastewater treatment facility

image

GHD was commissioned to design a new Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) and membrane treatment system for the Cleveland Bay Wastewater Treatment Facility, with a capacity to cater for an estimated population of 126,000 people.

State-of-the-art biological processes were introduced, by combining an oxidation ditch (to achieve a high level of nutrient removal) with membrane solids separation, to achieve a very high effluent quality. This approach retains the simplicity and flexibility of the oxidation ditch while adding the exceptional solids separation capability of the membranes.
