Case Study: Brynecut

Background to the challenge

First established in 1987, Byrnecut is a leading supplier of management, labour and equipment to mining sites across Australia.

The company has grown to employ more than 2,500 people, operating a multi-million dollar fleet of specialised underground mining equipment.

The problem

Byrnecut had a problem with oily water entering one of their wash bay's treatment systems. The source of the problem seemed to be a workshop sump which was feeding contaminated water to a water treatment system - consistently fouling the water treatment pond. This resulted in Byrnecut having to undertake regular pump-outs at significant cost.

Byrnecut needed a cost-effective way to remove oil from the water before it was transferred to the water treatment system. As their workshop was to be decommissioned within a few months, the solution also needed to be portable.

What Cleanawater did

Calling on decades of expertise in oily water treatment, Cleanawater identified our belt oil skimmer as the ideal solution.

The belt skimmer system we supplied would remove oils from the sump automatically. The system uses an oleophilic tube that rests on the water's surface. This tube is automatically dragged back through a scraper and into a waste oil drum for easy removal. In addition, we supplied a timer to automatically run the belt skimmer two hours per day – ensuring minimal power usage.

This system provided Byrnecut with significant ongoing cost savings; the effective removal of floating oils and debris meant Byrnecut avoided costly pump-outs of contaminated wastewater.

The belt skimmer's timer ensures the system runs only at peak times – saving on power costs. And because the belt skimmer is portable, the low-cost system was transportable for use at other sites.
