Case Studies

Abattoirs

Cargill Australia is a regular user of SludgeRat®s. With continual production of solids through normal operations, wastewater lagoons can become overloaded with sludge. Cargill have found that the SludgeRat® easily allows the environmental management teams to better meet the operations on a continual basis rather than intermittent desludging activities.

Nickel Tailings

SlurryRat® in operation at the Murrin Murrin Mine site, Western Australia. A critical pond in the process water stream for the site needed the sediment removed due to being overfull. The SlurryRat® was installed and with some site specific modifications the unit was easily operated by onsite staff. The sediment was removed and the process water free to flow again.

Tarong Energy

Managing the flyash levels in a process pond at Queenslands largest powerstation became critical during the separation of the flyash and other byproducts. The SlurryRat® at Tarong enables operations to continue without the need for another thickener to be built and a reduction in polymer use.
