Included a number of environmental related projects: effluent (waste water) and waste handling.
Projects related to manufacturing process cost reduction and sustenance.
Scope of project activities through the life cycle from identification and scoping, definition and concept, design, costing and motivation, all the way through to implementation (construction and commissioning). Waste recycling:
Investigate and implement recycling of waste plastic from the manufacturing processes. Previously waset plastic disposal entailed processes that contributed to more gas emissions, and solids waste, and entailed cost.
Solution: - make the waste product safe, sell onto plastics recycler for re-use in plastic boards, etc
Benefits – environmental emissions and waste reduces, and generated revenue Effluent water recycling:
Implement integrated process effluent water recovery.
Investigation to:
• identify various sources of waste water - locality, volumes, quality, and • match waste water with potential re-use options - identify process sinks, locations, volumes, quality required.
• identify process plant required to meet demand (catchment and recovery systems; treatment options), including Capex cost, Opex costs, and financial returns for each option.
