The construction of a R600 million state-of-the-art soya crushing plant in Standerton, Mpumalanga has recently been completed. The Singaporean based company Noble Resources (76th largest company in the world according to Fortune 500) appointed Sustainable Engineering to deliver a 300kℓ/day Membrane Waste Water Treatment Plant to treat the soya plant’s effluent water.
The soya oil factory will produce 2 000 tons of oil per day and discharge as much as 270kℓ of industrial effluent per day plus some domestic effluent from the office complex.
Sustainable Engineering designed the plant to include cutting edge technology such as Kubota’s MBR units. The system consists of Anaerobic / Aerobic / Anoxic / MBR and disinfection steps.
Kubota have trained the Sustainable Engineering Consulting team to design, implement, construct and maintain the MBR units in accordance with their international standards.
The treated effluent discharge quality will exceed General Standards to be recycled for process and wash water.
Water and Sanitation solutions in the Timbavati Game Reserve
In the Timbavati bushveld of Limpopo Alveo Water and Sanitation have designed, supplied and constructed a Water Treatment Plant, Waste Water Treatment Plant and bulk civil services for Masungulo Lodge.
This has been a particularly interesting project as it’s in the heart of the bushveld and designed accordingly to fit in with the environment and architecture of the lodge.
The owners of Masungulo Lodge requested that the drinking water be treated to the highest standards and placed specific emphasis on looking after the environment. For this reason the owner made sure that the building work of the WWTP structure would be completely water retaining and the treated effluent had to exceed “General Standards”, even though it was only meant for irrigation.
Sustainable Engineering also designed the water reticulation, sewer drainage, sewer pump stations, fire and irrigation mains and fire and irrigation pump station for the lodge.
