ABOUT THE CLIENT:

The project was delivered for the Sedgman Civmec Joint Venture, for BHP Billiton Iron Ore, as part of the Jimblebar Expansion Project.

Located at Jimblebar Mine near Newman, Western Australia, the project involved the design, supply and commissioning of a potable water reverse osmosis plant.

CHALLENGE: DEVELOPING POTABLE WATER TREATMENT FOR A MINE EXPANSION

The Jimblebar Expansion Project required a dedicated potable water reverse osmosis plant.

The project involved more than supplying RO equipment. It required the development of the RO treatment process and associated engineering documentation, including mass balance development, P&IDs and engineering drawing conversion to BHP standards.

The project also included project variations and staged commercial delivery, requiring the engineering and commercial scope to be managed throughout the project.

Aquasol was engaged to provide the required design, engineering and commissioning services.

SOLUTION: REVERSE OSMOSIS POTABLE WATER TREATMENT

Aquasol provided the design and engineering for the potable water reverse osmosis plant for the Jimblebar Expansion Project.

The technical scope included:

• RO treatment process design

• Mass balance development

• P&ID development

• Engineering drawing conversion to BHP standards

• Project variations

• Staged commercial delivery

The core treatment technology was reverse osmosis, providing the treatment process for the potable water plant.

Aquasol's involvement extended through to commissioning, completing the project's design, engineering and commissioning scope.

RESULTS: POTABLE WATER REVERSE OSMOSIS PLANT FOR JIMBLEBAR EXPANSION

Aquasol delivered the design, engineering and commissioning scope for a potable water reverse osmosis plant supporting the Jimblebar Expansion Project.

The project brought together RO process design, engineering documentation, P&IDs and BHP-standard drawing conversion, alongside project variations and staged commercial delivery.

The completed scope provided the project with a dedicated potable water treatment system based on reverse osmosis, with Aquasol involved from design through to commissioning.
