An audit was conducted to verify business processes via the Hydroflux Groups Australian companies Integrated Management System (IMS) in order to obtain these prestigious certification’s.

Adrian Minshull, CEO of Hydroflux proudly summed up how these accreditation’s reflect the Hydroflux Groups’ values, “Receiving the GRS Accreditation is a validation of the Hydroflux Groups’ Integrated Management System representing Quality, Safety and the Environment. This is a testament of our Groups’ versatile team of professionals and their individual dedication and expertise.

The ISO 9001 Quality certification validates Hydroflux Epcos’ strong customer focus with its reputation for efficiency in its operations, reliability in its practices, and consistency in its customer satisfaction, whilst the multiple group safety certifications to both OHSAS 18001 & AS/NZS 4801 is of utmost importance to the Hydroflux Group in protecting the health, safety and welfare of our employees, clients, contractors and anyone else affected by our operations. Rounding up our IMS system with ISO 14001 Environment certification was the obvious choice considering our line of business.”

The move comes on the heals of Hydroflux announcing it had established a major presence in the United Kingdom in order to participate in European wastewater and water reuse projects.

“With five major wastewater projects currently under construction by Hydroflux in the Pacific region, the growing demand for our advanced water and wastewater solutions in the Pacific Islands is what led us to establish an office in Fiji from which we will service the needs of customers in the region,” says Adrian Minshull, CEO of Hydroflux.

“In addition, having a presence in Fiji will enable Hydroflux to provide support and expertise to sustainable water and wastewater initiatives in the Pacific Islands,” he adds.

“The Hydroflux Group is able to offer a complete portfolio of water treatment technologies for the municipal, industrial and mining sectors under the recently-launched Hydroflux Epco brand.

Hydroflux Epco’s expertise encompasses over 1,000 references throughout Australia, Asia Pacific, Middle East and the United Kingdom, dating back to 1961. The company also has long-standing relationships with global leaders such as HUBER Technology, Aerostrip® and Organica®.

The Hydroflux Group’s offerings will also include Hydroflux Industrial which specialises in designing, constructing and delivering wastewater solutions in the meat-processing, dairy, general-food processing, fish processing, beverage, manufacturing, energy and construction industries.” says Adrian Minshull.

The full range of product and service options available in the Pacific can be found at www.hydroflux.com.fj

He said that one of the major areas of opportunity for the Hydroflux group was the tourism sector.

“Research conducted by the Asian Development Bank says that tourism is an important economic sector for many developing countries in the Pacific and set to remain so for the foreseeable future with visitor arrivals forecast to rise by 6% to 7% per year until 2019.

“The report says that countries need to increase their capacity to absorb more tourists, especially during the peak season. However, capacity is not limited to the number of rooms, food and beverage outlets, and tour operations. It also includes hard infrastructure, soft local services, the service capacity of the industry, and most importantly, the capacity of local people to absorb increased numbers of tourists.”

Hydroflux has already played a key role in a number of major projects in the region, among them the provision of an advanced wastewater treatment plant at the multi-award winning Musket Cove Island Resort, located in the remote Malolo Lailai, and several more packaged sewage treatment plants are under construction for other major resorts in Liku Liku, Malolo and Matamanoa in the Fijian Mamanuca group of islands.

Hydroflux’s range of packaged sewage treatment solutions treats wastewater generated by guests, the laundry and kitchens, to a standard suitable for reuse in irrigation, thus ensuring the environmental sustainability of the resort into the future.

Hydroflux Industrial is currently constructing a wastewater treatment plant for a multi-national food and beverage company. The plant has been designed by Hydroflux and incorporates world-class equipment including Hydroflux’s HyDAF HD Dissolved Air Flotation, HUBER Ro9 Screening, Hydroflux HySMART™ SBRs and HUBER QPress dewatering.

The plant has been designed to treat high-strength industrial wastewater so that the discharge complies with Fiji’s National Liquid Waste Management Strategy.

A few highlights from the Hydroflux Group’s 2017 year:

• ­ Who Thought Changing a Company Name Could be so Much Work?:

Hydroflux Epco – Having spent the year following the acquisition of EPCO Australia moulding Hydroflux HUBER’s and EPCO Australia’s municipal wastewater teams, products and services together into the most comprehensive professional range available in Australia, December saw the public release of the new combined powerhouse brand to the market! Luckily timed to perfection with the Christmas break just around the corner for some exhausted staff…

• ­ Largest AEROSTRIP® Installation Ever – Period:

So how many kilometres of AEROSTRIP does it take to win this title? 14.4 kilometres (yes you read that correctly) – Australian’s Woodman Point STP is officially the largest AEROSTRIP installation in the world, narrowly beating the earlier title holder Delcora STP installation in the USA with 13.9km!
        Click here to find out why AEROSTRIP is so special.

• ­ Australia Fell in Love with Hydroflux HUBER’S Q-PRESS®:

With its unique properties meaning even on difficult WAS applications where an unmatchable 18% dry solids is achievable, plus the 90% savings in power and 0.5rpm speeds, the HUBER Q-PRESS caused the demise of centrifuges and belt presses in many municipal and industrial sludge dewatering applications.
A record number of Australian authorities or businesses took the plunge this year, so much so, there is now a Tesla style production wait-list for the machines.
        Click here for more information.

• ­ Size is Never and Issue?

The Hydroflux HyDAF HD Dissolved Air Flotation Units have, due to their robust build, standard hoppered base and sustainable design been the choice of industry, especially the food and beverage industry for quite some time now. With 90% of orders being in the 10-100kL/hr range, Hydroflux was somewhat surprised this year to receive 3 separate orders for 200kL/hr units in as many months. Hydroflux can supply free standing DAF systems capable of treating up to 500 kL/hr.

• ­ ­First for Queensland as it Adopts the GT-DAF:

The trend in shopping centres, possibly to help combat the move to online shopping, is ever larger food courts and consequently we are seeing more and more commercial wastewater from these traditionally domestic locations. Most of the leading shopping centre chains in Sydney have installed the Hydroflux GT-DAF to treat this wastewater, however in a first, Gold Coast City Council in QLD recently approved the installation of a Hydroflux GT-DAF at Jupiter’s Casino.

And 2018?

Well watch this space as Hydroflux has a few surprises in the pipeline. The new year will see our newest international office being opened and some great quality/OHS news for our staff and clients alike and maybe something new to deal with that pesky PFAS issue that is bamboozling everyone…

We at Hydroflux are eternally grateful for the support of both consultants and our clients who have made this last year a great 2017 for Hydroflux in many ways.

Merry Christmas to you and your families. We hope you enjoy the holidays and look forward to working with you, and setting a few more records, again in the New Year.

World Water Day, on 22 March every year, is about taking action to tackle the world wide water crisis. UN-Water reports that today, 1.8 billion people use a source of drinking water contaminated with faeces, putting them at risk of contracting cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio.

Why Wastewater?

Globally, the vast majority of all the wastewater from our homes, cities, industry and agriculture flows back to nature without being treated or reused – polluting the environment, and losing valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials.

Instead of wasting wastewater, we need to reduce and reuse it. In our homes, we can reuse greywater on our gardens and plots. In our cities, we can treat and reuse wastewater for green spaces. In industry and agriculture, we can treat and recycle discharge for things like cooling systems and irrigation.

By exploiting this valuable resource, we will make the water cycle work better for every living thing. And we will help achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 6 target to halve the proportion of untreated wastewater and increase water recycling and safe reuse.

Download the UN Factsheet to learn more.

Hydroflux embrace innovation in wastewater management and the UN water objectives and look to sustainably recover water, energy and nutrients wherever appropriate. We have a number of world breaking homegrown wastewater technologies, as well as wastewater technologies from key agencies such as HUBER Technologies for the extraction of heat from sewerage and CNP technologies for the recovery of struvite from sewage sludge for use as fertiliser.

The post World Water Day 2017 Focuses on Better Wastewater Management appeared first on Hydroflux Utilities.

Despite what many have seen as a politically-trying year, both locally and worldwide, the demand for high-quality sustainable wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering systems has not let up. As a result, the Hydroflux Group has again seen a record growth year in just about all areas.

A few noteworthy news items from the Hydroflux Group’s 2016 year:

• ­ Helping Australian Water Authorities Be Sustainable:

Aeration of biological treatment systems, even the fine bubble type is typically a massive power consumer and has a high OPEX due to limited lifespan. Thanks to Hydroflux, Water Corporation in Western Australia and many other Australian water authorities have discovered that AEROSTRIP® aeration systems are significantly more power efficient and have a life span in excess of 10 years!

• ­ Acquisition of EPCO Australia:

EPCO Australia, one of Australia’s largest suppliers of clarifiers, anaerobic digester equipment and package sewage treatment plants throughout Australia, PNG and the Torres Strait Islands or over 50 years was acquired by Hydroflux. This exciting acquisition allows Hydroflux to play a bigger role in supporting sewage treatment plant construction contractors and more actively participating in the mining and resource sector.

• ­ ­Opening of Offices in Victoria and the United Kingdom (UK):

Portsmouth in Southern England is home to our latest office, as we continue to expand our overseas activities, whilst earlier in the year we opened in Victoria, coincidently also located at the southern end of Australia. Both these offices allow Hydroflux to provide better local specialist support to our customers.

• ­ Exports, Exports and Even More Exports:

Nothing better than helping the balance of trade a little. This last year has seen the group’s export market grow massively. This includes two large orders for environmentally sensitive projects into the tropical paradise of Fiji.

• ­ ­Less Smelly Innovative Odour Control:

Unless you are lucky enough to be living next to an Organica Sewage Treatment Plant (which does not smell) then you will know how much the odour of sewage can ruin a BBQ! Available exclusively in Australia and New Zealand from Hydroflux, Neutralox is the latest in in low-cost, small footprint, economical odour control systems.

• ­ Biological Systems Everywhere:

From Sequential Batch and Membrane Biological Reactors (SBR/MBR’s), to traditional activated sludge systems and even complex high-load BNR plants, this last year has seen Hydroflux build record numbers of systems in a wide variety of industries. Wineries, abattoirs, rendering plants and even tropical island resorts have all benefited from our specialist knowledge.
