Backwash Water Recovery for Mt Kynoch WTP with Veemax® Clarifier Thickeners

Mt Kynoch WTP is a 68ML/d water treatment plant that uses filtration to process raw from various raw water dams.

Project Overview

The treatment plant was upgraded to include backwash water recovery. A Hydroflux Epco VeeMax® Clarifier Thickener was installed into an above ground concrete tank.

The unit is driven by a reduction gear motor. The scraper runs continuously and is protected by a torque limiter.

Key benefits of the VeeMax® include:

  • Proven heavy duty sludge removal system, suited for thickened sludge.
  • Heavy duty gearbox with high service factor.
  • Suspended scraper mechanism means less maintenance on the rubber squeegees.
  • Over 330 clarifier references.
