From sewage sludge to sustainable energy

Largest wastewater treatment plant in Western Australia relies on sophisticated CHP system for maximum efficiency
In cooperation with our partner Evo Energy Technologies we're launching a project at Woodman Point Wastewater Recovery and Reuse Facility (WRRF), Western Australia's largest treatment plant.

The upcoming project at Woodman Point WRRF will significantly upgrade the sludge treatment process to address the need for increased capacity and infrastructure improvements. In cooperation with our partner Evo Energy Technologies we will supply and integrate cutting-edge equipment, including three avus 1500b 1.5MWe units with steam boiler equipment, biogas blower packages, a C-Nox biogas flare, Sattler double membrane biogas holders, and an advanced gas treatment package. This equipment will be assembled into a proprietary CHP container designed for outdoor operation and pre-tested in Germany, minimizing on-site risks and installation time. The CHP container will include all necessary internal components for immediate operation upon delivery, with external components shipped separately for on-site assembly.
 

Additionally, the project will feature upgraded control and monitoring systems inspired by successful implementations at Southern Meats in Goulburn and Kilcoy Meats. This includes the integration of Siemens HMI, biogas blowers, and flowmeters, ensuring precise and efficient operation. A critical part of the project is the TS Biological Desulphurisation system, offering an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional chemical scrubbers. 
 

The Woodman Point WRRF upgrade is poised to significantly enhance the operational efficiency and environmental sustainability of the facility. This project sets a new benchmark in wastewater treatment and energy recovery, demonstrating the potential of advanced technologies to transform infrastructure and reduce environmental impact.
