Wastewater Treatment for Quarantine Wash Bays

We'll help you meet water treatment requirements in:

  • AQIS/quarantine wash-down facilities

The quarantine industry challenges Cleanawater can help with

Lower running costs. Zero fines or shutdowns. Hassle-free equipment maintenance. We understand how valuable they are to your operation.

We know because our expertise in AQIS wash bay wastewater treatment spans more than 15 years. That's why we guarantee our cost-effective wastewater solutions will comply with quarantine (AQIS) and local water authority standards – saving you on shutdowns and penalties. And it's why they're engineered for efficiency and longevity – offering long-term savings on running costs, expensive cleanups, repairs and manual monitoring.

How Cleanawater can help your AQIS wash bay operations

Designed and engineered for quarantine wash bays, Cleanawater's wastewater treatment solutions meet all water authority requirements.

We carry one of Australia's largest stocks of off-the-shelf wastewater treatment equipment – including oil water separators, water recycling systems, vehicle wash bays, pump stations and chemical control.

They're built for minimal reliance on power and consumables – keeping your running costs minimal. And thanks to their efficiency and durability, they require only minimal, hassle-free maintenance.

They're built to complement your infrastructure – including products designed especially for below-ground environments. And most of our off-the-shelf units come pre-plumbed and pre-wired. That means they're easily retrofitted for minimal operational downtime.

They're also built with eco-sustainability in mind, helping you meet your Environmental Duty of Care. With high levels of available stock, you'll benefit from fast delivery times – orders are usually dispatched within 24 hours.

We also supply custom-designed solutions to meet your quarantine wash bay's individual requirements. It's all supported by Cleanawater's technical assistance – including equipment servicing, inspection and repair.

Cleanawater's end-to-end process

Step 1

Designing the product plan

Cleanawater’s project engineers will visit your site, mark and assess the parameters. Specific requirements for your project will be accounted for during this phase.

Step 2

Creating 3D models

The team will create conceptual 3D models of the product. We’ll perform predictive flow and performance analysis tests before beginning the manufacturing phase.

Step 3

Manufacturing your system

We begin creating your wastewater treatment system, specifically designed for your mining application.

Step 4

Installation

We’ll install the system at your site. We’ll test all aspects of the product to make sure it performs, all without interrupting your operations.

What to do with your AQIS wash down bay wash water

  • Ensure discharge is to sewer or an approved AQIS discharge tank.
  • Install an oil separator and 100 micron filter is to be installed to treat wash down water as a minimum.
  • Check with AQIS (DAFF) which criteria you fall under.
  • If connecting to sewerage, check your local trade waste guidelines.
  • Ensure you enter into a maintenance agreement for servicing of your water treatment equipment in accordance with regulations.
  • Only use bio degradable quick break degreasers and detergents.
  • Use only helical rotor or diaphragm pumps to pump wash water through your treatment system.
  • Contact Cleanawater if you have any queries regarding your new or existing wash down bay project.

What not to do with your AQIS wash down bay wash water

  • Do not use traditional solvent based degreasers that do not have quick break properties. These degreasers cause oil and detergents to remain in suspension and not separate through a traditional oil water separator system.
  • Do not dispose of any coolants, acids, caustics or chemicals through the water treatment system, these should be disposed of by licenced contractors.
  • Do not allow wash down water to discharge directly to the stormwater drain.
  • Do not allow workshops or other areas discharge water via your AQIS water treatment system.
  • Install the wash down bay prior to gaining approval to proceed by AQIS or you may be forced to make costly changes.
