To support Atlas Iron’s expansion at Sanjiv Ridge, Centurion delivered a compact, containerised water and wastewater treatment solution that increased capacity, met Class C discharge standards, and integrated with the site’s SCADA network. Fully automated and scalable, the system improved performance and efficiency while using existing infrastructure to keep costs down, positioning Centurion as a trusted partner in the mine’s growth.
Scope of Work
As part of its accommodation expansion from 180 to 250 personnel, Atlas Iron required a significant upgrade to its Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment plant and wastewater treatment plant at Sanjiv Ridge. The solution needed to be robust, efficient, and fully compatible with the site’s remote monitoring and control systems.
Client Challenges:
- Increased capacity to process 65m³/day
- Compact 40ft containerised design to suit site constraints
- Compliance with Class C effluent discharge standards
- Full automation and SCADA compatible PLC systems integrated into the existing remote monitoring network
- Enhanced flow and pressure control for improved operational control
Execution
Centurion developed a customized water and wastewater treatment solution tailored to Atlas Iron’s specific needs:
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant
- 40ft containerized system with a capacity of 75m³/day.
- Fully integrated SCADA-compatible PLC for seamless remote monitoring.
- Motorized flow control valves and digital pressure sensors enabling real-time automation and control.
- System designed to adapt to feed water characteristics having received the client’s water analysis.
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
- Designed to meet Class C discharge compliance.
- Scalable 40ft containerized unit with a processing capacity of 65m³/day.
- External anoxic tanks or dual-unit configuration to enhance biological treatment performance.
