Sewage Treatment

Finucane Island

Project: Port Hedland Inner Harbour Finucane Island Waste Water Treatment Plant.

Location: Port Hedland, Western Australia.

Treatment Capacity: 88m3/day.

Date Commissioned: June 2013.

Operational Status: Currently operating.

Comments: This plant was Factory Acceptance Tested prior to shipment to site.

Site construction time was 20 days from mobilisation to commissioning.

This plant was designed specifically to address the proportionally high influent nitrogen and sporadic loading often associated with “non-accommodation” waste water applications.

The plant was commissioned with influent sewage and seeded from the Port Haven Village.  Very low and sporadic loading increased the time required for the system biology to fully develop however the plant was fully compliant with 40 days of commissioning.
