Overview
After a successful tender process Dowdens Pumping & Water Treatment was engaged to design, construct and commission a new automated Sewage Treatment Plant for Jellinbah Mining at Jellinbah Village near Bluff in the Central Queensland coalfields.
The Problem
The existing sewage treatment plant was failing and producing a non-compliant effluent that could not be irrigated on-site and as a result, the new sewage treatment plant had a requirement to produce an effluent that was Class A with nutrient removal.
Along with the very tight effluent discharge limits, the proposed sewage treatment plant was to be located in a know flood area.
